Headed to a local cat cafe. Non zero chance I come home with paperwork for a new roomie.

At least it gets dark early so I don't have to watch it snow.

@richardkadrey.bsky.social Reading The Dead Take the A Train and am loving it! I am greatly enjoying some of the more obscure English words you tucked inside. Thank you.

Looks like my plans have changed. He's snoring.

this is so wonderfully weird, give her all the golds 🥇

6 days after Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, a Prague paper published these “10 Commandments”: ‘When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU: 1. Don’t know 2. Don’t care 3. Don’t tell 4. Don’t have 5. Don’t know how to 6. Don’t give 7. Can’t do 8. Don’t sell 9. Don’t show 10. Do nothing’

The longer you watch the crazier it gets 😭😭❤️

@chuckwendig.bsky.social I am playing Star Wars Outlaws and am pretty sure I just ran into Snap's moms.

Several years ago I got home from work and heard a bird chirping from the basement. When I investigated, I discovered that an adolescent robin had fallen into the gap on the covering of one of the basement window wells and was trapped. My initial thought was that it would quiet down in a couple

Holy shit

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social Remember when you made Al Franken resign for harassing a woman? You should resign for harassing a Muslim. Disgusting and the people of New York deserve better.

@swordsjew.bsky.social My local library has 2 copies! Nice! I'd check it out but I already own a copy. And yes, I am bragging.

A perfect loaf.

Me when I accidentally locked myself out of the house last week and watched my dog eat out of the trash.

@gailsimone.bsky.social Notice these chili cheese fry chips made in Texas feature chili obviously full of beans.

Everybody needs to read @blacktopkid.bsky.social Fantastic story! Think Red Harvest but grimier(good), more Machiavellian, and much more personal. One of my favorite books so far this year.

u have been kidnapped and a character from the last TV show you watched is trying to rescue u who is coming to save u

@apnews.com Why don't you tout your little anti trans articles on Bluesky? Afraid the audience might see you in a different light?

Not often a skeet makes me tear up.

The tail end was overdone so I had to eat it.

Salt and brown sugar cured. Ready to smoke.

Ever since I got back from helping out @catcarenetworkiowa.bsky.social this guy has not let me out of his sight. It has been at least a year since he has napped on me. I think he got jealous.

@steveperrywriter.bsky.social So 30 odd years ago I read the Matador trilogy and at some point I picked up The 97th Step. I have been thinking about them recently and looked them up. Holy shit! You wrote a bunch more! Thank you! I am excited to see where you take the story.

Artificial intelligence when I was a kid.

Yes, please. I would very much like socialism and a nap.

The average American has three amigos.

Movies you've watched more than six times. ("Hard Mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

A local food truck that made these incredible deep dish pizza things but in a puff pastry.

@swin24.bsky.social Listening to today's Daily Blast and realizing how much I miss Fever Dreams.

During the 2020 campaign I worked at a fancy restaurant in downtown Des Moines. They had some Dem fundraiser where all the primary candidates were all at the convention center and afterwards several of them came in to eat.

Hope that motherfucker catches the measles.

Brain surgery with rusty old timey hand drill and a bent coat hanger, maybe.

And how in Africa he laments that "There's nothing that a hundred men in Mars could ever do."

Someone is telling me to turn the heat on... Also, I am rearranging my schedule today to accommodate this spoiled baby. I discovered this when I went to strip the bed. 2 loads of laundry, dude, then I need those sheets.

@joshkaulwi.bsky.social You gonna stand up for the rule of law or are you just another Democratic collaborator? Elon Musk is violating the law. Arrest him.

It's an ugly, wet day outside and my new Dutch oven arrived earlier this week so it's time for beef stew.

...spoken like folks who have never played XCOM.

I would like to call this meeting of the Insomnia Club to order.

@peters.senate.gov I am excited to donate money to your primary challenger, coward. We deserve better than you

If your senator said no to fascism today, call them and tell them that you expect them to move for the removal of Schumer as minority leader immediately.

@schatz.bsky.social Enjoy your next primary season, coward.

He's melting!

@schumer.senate.gov I am headed to the local registrar to change my party affiliation tomorrow. I have voted Democrat for 20 years and you have failed us every time. No more, quisling.

5# of apples make about a quart of apple butter. I push it through a strainer to catch the peel.

Ran the stick blender through it. Doesn't look pretty and is still pretty sharp. Another 3 hours.

The house smells like apples. Now to let it cook for another four hours.

Apples were on sale. Time to stock up on autumn. Apple butter has begun.

@flavorflav.bsky.social I know you can't say shit, but last week I looked at my wife and said, "That's Flavor Flav, no discussion, final answer" and you rocked it!
