Gaslighting a person with dementia is horrifying

My brother and his GF don’t roll into town until tomorrow so today we went to a Chinese Restaurant for dinner and then drove around looking at lights with my niece. This was the right choice- there were no dinner dishes to do.

hey if you work tomorrow turn your alarm back on!

If you work tomorrow remember to turn your alarms back on.

Turn those alarms off, idiots

TW: Child Sex Abuse

But whats the alert for?

Please, if you have active insurance this year please get/begin every single vaccine you can before the end of the year. Please protect yourself, all bets are off. (My insurance covers Hepatitis B —Millennials you likely didn’t get this at birth—& Hep A, so I got the first rounds of both yesterday)

For all of you Kīlauea watchers, the USGS v3 camera is back and now is a good time to check it out www.youtube.com/live/gXKuUyK...

The, “Popular with friends” feed is down and my first thought was, “OMG was today THE day and they crashed it with excitement?”

Whoopsies…

Holy shit…

while you’re at it: tell your friends you love them

Very good from Dan Rather. He details the timing of the decisions by Weiss and how this actually played out.

I did not forsee myself crying at a bootleg 60 minutes piece but that’s apparently how tonight is going.

Just another place you can watch the CECOT segment online mega.nz/file/PlpxQKK...

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.

When you defend concentration camps and refuse to expose them to protect the Nazis, you're a Nazi. Hound her ceaselessly.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

All Five parts of the CECOT reporting. Watch them all.

I'm still looking to replace my Chrome bag that the dog gnawed on. If you know anyone who has one of the old school big ass courier bags just collecting dust let me know. I'm looking to replace an old Metropolis sized bag.

@melaniekebler.bsky.social This is a good thread that outlines the security mess that is Flock. I guarantee you that a company that treats their InfoSec like this has other issues- these are just the ones we’ve found. #GettheFlockoutofBend

This weekend I braved both Costco and Winco (first time since early in the pandemic) and neither were as bad as expected. Also found guancale…so there will be Carbonara at some point!

They don't care that the cover-ups are clumsy. Their goal isn't to take over the news, it's to destroy it. To destroy our sense-making capacity. To destroy truth.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Buttercup: “I have called this meeting to discuss the lack of treatos.,This injustice will not stand!”

If Batman was a Santa, would he wear his hat like this, or like this

Is it Merry Chrincest or Merry Incemas?

First holiday baking: @thecemeterygates.bsky.social family Shortbread. First time attempting it at 3500 ft elevation. We shall see how it turns out.

I need Bluesky to allow me to tag people I follow with the name I’m going to search for when I look for them.

Costco - the Saturday before Christmas: Parking lot, absolutely packed. Inside was shockingly chill? And they've started a pre-scan thing that saves a TON of time. In and out including a trip to the Pharmacy in 30 minutes. Bonus points to the 60's white dude with a dump trump hat in Central Or.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

Nothing like waking up to a power outage on a Friday…

Patrick Warburton in the St Pauli shirt…I see you.

The big pipe is at 100%. This infrastructure is to keep these events at a minimum but this is so much water. 💛 www.portland.gov/bes/news/202...

And for those who need to learn hematopathology You’ve heard of elf on the shelf but what about

This is so enjoyable…

Imagine all the things we’ve missed out on as a society from all the loss. Just heartbreaking.

ADHD friends…have any of y’all used Finch?

I see the conversation is about being kind to retail workers during the season. I would like to add that you should by all means be doing this, but remember that restaurant workers get absolutely beat up this time of year as well.

This is Seth at his best youtu.be/CUW2GmKtqO0?...

Things are hard. Find a little joy in the parts of life that give you a little joy. Like these two goofballs in the light of a Central Oregon sunset (on Saturday…because tonight was gloomy).

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

In the film The Princess Bride, a spectacular duel is fought atop the Cliffs of Insanity between a man in black, who we will later know as the Dread Pirate Roberts (and still later as Buttercup’s beloved farm boy, Wesley), and Inigo Montoya, the Spaniard.

Buckle up Dem establishment, because me and my maximum wage tied to the minimum wage proposal are coming for your asses

My gut was right and dinner was fantastic (and I’m certain it was better for the changes).

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

What an awful and sad weekend. I want a better world.
