(It was unlikely, but so was everything unexpected that had happened so far. My risk assessment module had given up generating reports three hours ago.)

Here's another news story that will absolutely never be covered by mainstream media. When it comes to election fraud, it's always Republicans doing it.

It always wins with me. 📺 Goodnight 👋🏻

I'm gonna write some #Poetry And it will be so clever I'll take my time and write it fine And it will last forever I'll write some clever metaphors And similes and such More adjectives than you'll believe So many hearts I'll touch 1/2 #OddChallenge Future tense

buying books and reading books are different hobbies

Tater Tot does not enjoy fireworks. He is prepared for the worst. 🫡

Newspapers giving handy hints to deal with global warming feels grim.

Please release me from this curse It's such a silly illness The urge to drink Nothing but ink Exacerbates my quillness

"Land of Enchantment" Red letters on yellow Dazzles in the headlights It's welcome nonetheless The asphalt beneath us Is suddenly smoother Our unspoken tension Eases somewhat My plucky passenger Riding shotgun Starts to cry I join her #AmpersandAfterDark #Prompt "headlights crossing state lines"

I've no fear of being alone As you are along for the ride From hovel to ermine-trimmed throne I'll always have you by my side We'll go on adventures, we two All manner of ways I will treat you And, though I'm much bigger (it's true), I'm probably not gonna eat you

Hello all - I'd be tremendously grateful if you could help spread the word about a MINI TOUR I’m doing this AUGUST. I’m taking my ‘BAD MOOD RISING’ show to some smaller towns that often get bypassed on tour schedules. Any shares would be hugely appreciated. Thank you all! 💚

A wayward witch who casts with haste The magic she 'controls' An orrery around her waist That holds ten billion souls "I champion the anarchists The ones who can't be bossed And stymie their antagonists No matter what the cost"

Now, you may call me crazy As I know this sounds absurd If you stand beneath a daisy You can call the serpent bird

sky folk

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Suggestions I get are absurd: "You should make it look more like a bird" I tell them instead Here's my beautiful head As a transport mode, it is preferred My head it is such a delight So stately & graceful in flight Her seats are adjustable But so very combustible So I have to forbid candlelight

Tell everyone you know. InfoWars, July 2nd, big surprises.

Goofy Folks: "Lemme log into a billionaire-owned, AI-driven app to proclaim how much I hate billionaires and AI displacement. Also, I'll avoid engaging with the displaced, who need networking for referrals and hiring, because they lack an existing requisite status on AI-driven platforms."

Unremarkable - that is my flaw I'm not going to fill you with awe Though nice at my core I'm rather a bore I've got a certain je ne sais blah #Limerick #Poetry

Well, it's been thirteen months since we wished you "adieu" But tonight is the night all our dark dreams come true The cat flap of Hades has opened a crack And my sweet, ghoulish kitty has found her way back

Tyra Banks filed a defamation lawsuit which claims the America's Next Top Model docuseries on Netflix edited down her interviews “to support a false and defamatory narrative unrelated to what she actually expressed” ANTM contestant Angelea Preston: "Now you know how we feel" #ANTM

There's a big big birthday today! The lovely Alan Carr is the fabulous five-o!

Singing a spell by the side of the shore The mystical shaman enchants The Lord of the Water would like to hear more But he's stopped by his heavenly pants "I value your music but fear it's a snare To bend other folk to your will. My magical trousers and fey underwear Protect me from ever-y ill."

Happy Birthday to the most famous person born on this day. We love you, George!

The eye of the forest The way through the wood That takes you much farther Than paths really should This route has some danger You'd better beware But risks that are taken Reward those who dare

My magical cruise Will exceed all your wishes It's a ride to amuse In a river of fishes All aboard Captain Peck Who's part dove and part stork On the back of his neck Is the white rose of York Though the weather is breezy The current is gentle Oh, and if you feel queasy, That's quite incidental

Taylor and the girls having FUN!

Out in the field is Sweet Mouse Sherry Who does what she feels necessary Her actions seem tumultuary But that's all a sham Her focus is more mercenary A strict harvest itinerary She snags the ripest whortleberry For her delicious jam

Perfect placement

So I wrote that poem the other day Where each line had one more syllable And we went all the way to ten Well, you're reading its sequel "Syllable Subtraction" We've five lines to go We're almost there No climax Just a "Fin"

The grumpy little gremlin: When the lady asked for proof He went a nasty shade of red And hit the fucking roof He hates if he gets challenged As he's used to talking shit And when a woman pushes back He throws a fucking fit 😡

So Each line Will increase Growing in size By one syllable (And forcing you to count Just in case I got it wrong) But I think we'll stop at ten lines As both of us must find this tiring Don't know about you - I'm already bored

"Close that book, you don't have to be smart" "Run around in the street after dark" It has to be said The voice in my head Doesn't have my best interests at heart #Poetry #Limerick #Poem

He grew a branch for birds, they say As perches they did lack And there he stood, throughout the day With foliage on his back He grew a branch because he could And leaned upon his sword To counterbalance all that wood Yet still the sun seemed bored

Amazon. Please take "no" for an answer.

Velocipedic retinue The alder, tall and proud The new me knowing what to do This lady won't be cowed Our journey is far from complete This merry company My shiny wings, my tail of wheat I'm loving the new me

Friends in #comics, I highly recommend following these three newish accounts, all of which are fighting for things near and dear to our community: @darkhorseunion.bsky.social @comixaction.com @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social

Colbert gives us a master class in manipulation. In putting all of his Late Show creative team in the credits of his Monroe show (Louis Cato was there twice!) he was daring CBS to do something stupid. And they obliged.

A peaceful and introspective Memorial Day to you all Somewhere in France, near the end of the war Young cavalry-man full of esprit de corps An act of bravado, the end of a life Some very bad news for his school teacher wife (My great uncle Will died six weeks before the 1918 armistice)

A lovely introduction to the amazing @poperratic.com

Love it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.

I would like everyone to know that "A.i." comics are for losers.

Rabbit spirit walks among us Needing neither gifts nor worship Just the company of rabbits Peace be with you, rabbit spirit

The Prince of Cats has met his match There is no scheme nor plan to hatch He cannot pass, it feels absurd What is this little magic bird? He's not sure how she'll be placated She left his cloak all bifurcated So here he stands, and can't proceed But way too proud to just concede

I'm trying but not in the mood I don't want to cheat or extrude I've nothing to say But I write anyway Skipping Limerick Day would be rude #NationalLimerickDay #Limerick #Poetry #Poem

I don't want to cause folk affronts But the way to get clicks is with stunts Using outrage and fear All the suckers draw near That's why Twitter is packed full of "influencers" #NationalLimerickDay
