Surely we could find someone to run for Senate who is neither an octogenarian nor someone who had a Nazi phase

My utility sink had a glow up.

I just got a plumbing quote. It’s something you don’t get every day so the current rates are shocking.

That's pretty much the standard movie costume for an international jewel thief. Side eye guy is both hot and correct in his suspicions

I 100% believe someone traded the country to the Devil for the cubs World Series win.

Guess who has plans to buy a book today?

George Soros : wait there were how many protestors? Aide : over 7 million sir George Soros : i am never gonna financially recover from this

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

I stopped by the protest downtown this afternoon. The route went east over the hawthorn and then west over the Morrison. Both bridges were packed with marchers. I have no idea how long the crowd was but I bet you could have just finished and started back again and still be in the crowd.

You know what’s great about a quiche? It’s appropriate for all meals.

The view outside with the fog and changing leaves is very scenic.

I’m watching a baking show and this guy is making molded chocolate and is worried because one of them might break. But why didn’t he make an extra? They never make an extra.

I made a Swiss cheese and mushroom quiche. Except I subbed leek for onion, Gouda for Swiss, tomatoes for mushrooms and parsley for thyme. I think my biggest problem is my spring form pan is leaking.

I can withstand most of Costco’s lures but the olive and pickle aisle always gets me.

Ack! I’m not crying, you’re crying youtu.be/CNe9Bq3GBpA

Reasons I have been unable to attend the mass protests this year: band sectional, newberg pride band performance, band rehearsal.

An easy way to tell acidic and basic solutions apart:

At long last we have created the second trump administration from the classic sci fi novel don't allow a second trump administration

Lies!

Listening to a Frank Sinatra/Nat King Cole mix this morning, and they're just constantly singing about how the very thought of a lady love makes them feel silly and happy and lucky, and I'm just imagining them junk punching Andrew Tate & the Manosphere Cunts for being the worst kind of little boys.

Kid on the bus is sitting hunched over so that the longer hair in front dries just right.

I saw a person walking a giant dog tonight. The dog’s back was level with their hip and the person seemed to be at least fully average adult sized.

I love prompts like this because you scroll through like, that's a cool lego creation, there's a great oil painting of the ship, not sure if I agree that Kirk is circumcised but that's a well done charcoal of him getting corn holed by spock

Costco has their Ferraro rocher on sale for the holidays. Pinkies up! youtu.be/hMlP_Moo0bE?...

Several cousins are in a family group chat - 95% men, all over 50. I just saw I have 51 messages in the last 45 minutes from them. Just a bunch of chatty Charlies.

When AI translation goes _sorely_ awry.

i got paid in cash put into a large cava takeout bag

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

That Endo touch was beautiful.

Yesterday I started a kohlrabi ferment. I used kimchi flavorings. My refrigerator is full of jars of various ferments.

What ai text always reminds me of is all the rfp wording that consultants use. I’ve prepared proposals and they are always based on layers and layers of previous ones with a wording tweak here and there and a bit of sentence theft from another’s proposal and you end up with this marketing glop.

We ended up not having enough players and having to forfeit our noon game. As I stare out at the pouring rain and listen to it hit my stove vent * I am so grateful. *The vent noises travel directly to my kitchen and it can sound like water dripping directly into my house. It does not.

The Winnie the Pooh is ooky. You can see his skeleton.

Checking out my war-ravaged neighborhood here in SE Portland this morning. Everyone stay safe out there.

Tapioca is the superior thickener.

Because when you burn down a house and nobody ever rebuilds it, someone is still forced to live in the ashes

I changed out my summer wool blanket for my winter quilt. They’re not terribly different thermally but the quilt is probably 30% larger so I can pull it up to my chin and tuck it under.

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

I’m watching the great pottery throwdown and there is a surprising number of filthy double entendres.

Anyone have plumber recommendations?

Towards the edge of the crowd, you can see pro-ice, maga folk not getting the content they want.

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too. Sincerely, An Epidemiologist Who Told You Trump Would Get COVID Booster.

Debating turning the heat on.

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

Devastation as far as the eye can see.
