Thank god Chuck Schumer isn’t alive to see this.

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Comparison to Panama 1989: in that case US courts had indicted Noriega for drug trafficking, and Panama had declared a state of war with the US and had killed a US Marine. No comparison really

I've seen so many posts about impeachment or other ways congress can act, but if anyone thinks Mike Johnson will do a damn thing they are deluding themselves.

Happy New Year y'all. 11:45 and I'm calling it. Love y'all.

I'm not going to make a lot of comments on the Stranger Things finale, but the use of Prince's Purple Rain was perfect.

Rian Johnson has Rickrolled ALL OF US?!

Wait. Stranger Things still hasn't released all of the final episodes? WTH. They are trying my patience more than they should.

My cat just hissed and swiped at my robot vacuum. I love my cat, but unless he learns to clean the floor I'm siding with the vacuum on this one.

Does anybody else toast and butter slices of pound cake for breakfast, or is this something my family came up with?

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

I'm not catholic, but I think this is a good message for Christmas time.

Pope Leo on Christmas Night: “There is no room for God if there is no room for the human person. To refuse one is to refuse the other. Yet, where there is room for the human person, there is room for God.” (Full Text) www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Feeling off today, so the obvious question is did I forget my meds this morning?

Just the headline of this made me tear up. It's a good read.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Rick Steves making me cry this early in the morning. Happy tears. Needed to see this.

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

This one skeet is smarter than anything Douthat will say.

I'm reading the roundups of Trump's speech, and it seems like it was all a ploy to sue the networks for agreeing to air it, on the grounds that it was defamatory.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Quick guide to interpreting US foreign policy propaganda: if the word “deal” was used, some American made some money, and the war is still going on.

We used to have an agency dedicated to… consumer protection

Why does Stallone look more and more like Steven Seagal?

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

Naw, that person is way too intense and needy.

A much needed firepit night.

A former Fetterman advisor texted me: “I think what comes across is the reality of who he is, which is a petulant child who never became a man and is always the victim of his own narrative—even though he’s never had a real job and lives off his dad’s money. It's all pretty sad and pathetic."

Their cattle have calves the size of cantaloupe.

Ngl, she looks a lot better like this.

It's not fascism until they use fasces as their official symbol. It's not fascism until they all wear black shirts. It's not fascism until...

Perfect

Tomorrow should be Friday. I've had about as much of this week as I am willing to deal with.

Maybe James Bond is actually Dr. Who.
