I've been gone for a good long while because I've been fighting the good fight over on the hellsite. Add any great protest signs you've seen here, and I'll flood the zone with them over there. I know not everyone is in a position to fight back, but I am. So, I will.

One of two things has happened here. Either he's lost JUST enough money for him to feel it, or the Orange Pariah kicked him to the curb. Doesn't matter really. We're all in, Musky Butt. You can stay or you can fold, but the hits will keep on coming. 😈

Happiness is... The mowers showing up BEFORE my morning conference call instead of right in the middle of it. #WFH #EnjoyTheSilence

That's alright. I'm only an hour from the Oklahoma border. I guess it's time to make bootlegging great again.

If you love Val Kilmer, check out the POP CULTURE BASEMENT podcast hosted by my friend, @mikejamison.bsky.social. In this special edition, we talk about the great roles Val Kilmer played, his dedication to the craft, and yes, my teenage crush on him. What's your favorite Val Kilmer performance?

I'd like to think I won't be petty and dance in the streets when the Big Macs finally do their job, but I'm petty and I will absolutely dance in the streets when the Big Macs finally do their job.

I have two options on this fine Saturday. Catch up on house cleaning or flop my happy ass down on the couch and rest after a week of chaos. Decisions, decisions.

I, too, would like to cuddle a water sausage. Despite living in a landlocked subdivision in North Texas with exactly zero chance of ever finding a water sausage to cuddle, I will add this to my bucket list.

"I'd never use ChatGPT because I can think for myself." I use it daily for very specific things. But, first, I spent MONTHS teaching it how to do the things I need it to do. It's a valuable tool because I learned how to use it correctly. It's an LLM, not a genie in a bottle or a Magic 8 Ball.

I currently have one parent getting chemo and the other in the hospital with a fractured pelvis. It's been a stressful weekend to say the least. And now, the #OrangeMonday stock market crash is inevitable. Fuck me gently with a chainsaw.

Am I the only one who wouldn't even know who #GeorgeSoros is if the RWNJs didn't insist we were all being paid by him? 😆 Me searching for my check:

The right in 2008: Obama got us into a recession! This is the WORST thing ever! The right in 2021: Biden is going to put us into a recession! This is the WORST thing ever! The right in 2025: Trump is going to put us into a recession! This is the BEST thing ever!

Every RWNJ on the hellsite: 2008: Obama got us into a recession! This is the worst thing ever! 2021: Biden is going to put us into a recession! This is the worst thing ever! 2025: Trump will put us into a recession! This is the best thing ever!

The penguins from the uninhabited islands are pissed at their new 10% tariff and are marching on Washington. They'll save us all!

We only have streaming services at home, not cable, so I'm not used to commercials anymore. I'm at my parents' house, and they only have cable, no streaming. So. Many. Drug. Commercials.

This one hurts. Soar among the stars, #ValKilmer.

Yesterday, Luna the Diva decided to "help" my son with his guitar pick fulfillment work. Because flopping on top of the picks is so helpful. 😆

Me: I'd really like to trim the holly bushes out front. I'll absolutely do it early in the morning or late in the evening so that you can do your very important honey bee things during the day. Bees: We're going to be here 24/7, lady. No bush trimming for you. Get ready to fight the HOA. 🐝

That frantic, mad, braless dash to get the trash out to the curb in time when you forgot that it's trash day will wake you right up. #TrashDash

One of my specialties in the tech world is my unique ability to break things. I'm not a dev, not a programmer, but give me a keyboard and some software to QA and I will absolutely break it in a way that "no other user" has done before. I love it. It's my favorite part of the job.

Two things: 1) Jeffrey Goldberg didn't "sneak" in. He was added by Michael Waltz. 2) The "disappearing message" time is set to one week on purpose. That's so that the messages will not be kept as part of official government communications records. No documentation equals no paper trail.

Hegseth, Vance, and their dumpster fire of minions are out here talking about war plans like they're hanging out at the local bar. Mission critical plans are not discussed outside of SCIFs for for a reason. And they're CERTAINLY not discussed on a mobile phone group chat, FFS. Charge them all.

Nothing classified, huh? Just attack plans including the exact timeline WITH timestamps. Thank you, @theatlantic.com, for stepping up and showing everyone what "nothing classified" means to this administration. It's a gift link, everyone. You can read it for yourself.

Words are my weapon and I'm a DAMN good shot. So, it's time for me to go on the offensive and start hitting back with logic, reason, and wit as we move into midterms season. If I see a politician, RWNJ influencer, or sycophant pop off, I will retort in kind. And, they're not gonna like it. 😈

I wonder if he said "texting" in case he gets hauled in front of Congress for lying through his bourbon-soaked teeth. A Signal group chat is likely not TECHNICALLY texting. It's messaging through an app.

This might be the ONE time I actually agree RFK Jr. And now I need a shower. :::shudder:::

Me in 2021: Do I really need to keep cash at the house? I'm back in a first world country, now. I won't need cash often. Me in 2025: Is $500 a big enough stash of cash? When do our passports expire? Do cats need passports? Trump & his merry band of asshats have destroyed my damn peace of mind. 🤬

What (and I cannot stress this enough) the FUCK? We really need #Darwinism to get on the stick and do its thing for the survival of mankind before it's too late.

I scared the hell out of some middle schoolers. I was driving home through the neighborhood and had my windows down. I'm a metal girl at heart, and I had Falling in Reverse's Popular Monster turned up. I passed them just as Ronnie scream-growled "WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR GOD NOW?" Sorry, kids!

First time I've ever tried Connections. My logical mind and large vocabulary are finally paying off. 😆 Connections Puzzle #649 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨

It's spring. That means cat floof. Floof for days. Flying, floating floof. Floof on top of floof. The vacuum doesn't stand a chance.

Y'all. I'm going to need someone to hold my earrings. 🤬

I took some spools of insulated copper cable to the scrap yard today and they paid me $140. Them: "We could give you more if you strip it first, ma'am." Me: "Nope. I'm good. Stripping 12k feet of cable is not high on my list of enjoyable activities." I know what my time is worth.

The Freudian Slip to end all Freudian Slips. There is nothing but fluff between her ears.

If those extensions get any more obvious and unruly, will you have to take them out to the gravel pit and shoot them, #KristiNoem?

Garage sale yesterday: Great weather, decent turn-out, made around $200 with everything priced from $0.10 to $3. Garage sale today: Nope. Absolutely not. We're donating everything that didn't sell yesterday because our time is more valuable than the $25 we might make with what's left.

Hey Scammers, My husband is dead. So, if you could stop trying to get into his accounts, that would be great. Also, I'm a data analyst in a tech company. Trust me when I say that I am NOT your "click here to reset your account" target audience. Oh, and while you're at it, you can fuck right off.

What in the right-wing fuckery is this nonsense?

Let me guess, he has a concept of a plan? We'll see it in two weeks, right? Trump's sheeple are so fucking gullible. 😆

** Chef's Kiss **

I've spent most of this week getting ready to have a garage sale. There are pros and cons. Pros: My garage is cleaned out, I might make a little cash, and I was finally able to let go of SOME of my late husband's clothes. Widowhood is weird. Cons: A whole weekend of adulting with random strangers.

Did #WorldOfWarcraft open a dungeon portal in Lubbock? nypost.com/2025/03/13/u...

Here's the thing, Donnie. Boycotts are not illegal. If they were, all of your MAGA Bud Light drinkers and Target shoppers would be in prison. Buckle up, buttercup. #BoycottTesla

Why do atheists care about a late Easter? That's an extra month of the good chocolate in all the stores, baby!

This just made my Monday. 😆

Go, Canada! Go!

After a week filled with creating logic out of data chaos at work, I'm choosing not to brain today. Reading a book, listening to the rain, snuggling a cat or three, MAYBE doing some laundry? Yes. Anything involving decision making? Absolutely fucking not.

That moment when a client cancels a Friday conference call because they're traveling.

I have nothing profound to say about the SOTU address or the patients currently running the asylum, so I'll just give you some words to live by from Sidney Freedman. "Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice. Pull down your pants and slide on the ice." www.youtube.com/watch?v=l87U...
