I have been taking surfing lessons. Still in the beginner kook trenches, but celebrating my last time on a foam board 😎 Graduating to a hard top next session. It’s fun to learn new things! Even if you look like a goober at the beginning. 🏄🏽‍♀️

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

Tricks of the trade

Ohio photographers, the epic @keiragrant.bsky.social will be in the area in the next couple weeks. If you want to work with a top notch figure model, give her a shout to get on her schedule! #artnude #photography #ohiophotographers #models

The always-bright Eric Trump gives away the game, acknowledging that the tariffs are just a form of extortion.

seriously, i need an economics expert to please explain to me why a company would completely reconfigure their entire supply chain and/or manufacturing operations over a policy that could end in an hour or a week or 18 months or 3 1/2 years?

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

There aren't enough safeguards in the Constitution to protect against breathlessly stupid people...and the people who vote for them.

Something went right. Shopify has taken down Kanye West’s entire store.

This is Mrs. Florence Bell, the first nurse to go to the Royal Veterinary College of London. This is a cigarette card from my collection and in the info about her on the back it says “the more she sees of humans, the better she likes animals”. 1938.

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

Uline turned to Mexico to staff warehouses, but paid them a fraction of US workers, sources say

Lazy Sunday

Omg. This is Jasmine. She had an upper respiratory infection and she’s feeling all better but still has a tiny bit of inflammation giving her the funniest little trill-purr.

I dunno about y’all, but I’m ready for adults to be in charge who don’t have imaginary friends

Speaking of Canadian temptations, Tifereth...

You can sign up for library access from different towns or even different states! Cincinnati Public Libraries have great online resources, and I don't think have any geographic limits.

Melea with charcoal. I opted out of this year's Detroit Dirty Show if anyone is keeping score. Been years since I did more than break even, and Detroit in February is always contra-indicated. Also, might just be too tempting to take that right turn into Cañada, and I'm not quite ready for that.

This will always be relevant

This is a coup. 3.5M votes were nullified. DEMS MUST FIX THIS OR BE PERMANENTLY POWERLESS. hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost...

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Have you read The Diary of Anne Frank? If you haven’t, please do so shortly. Nazi Germany’s history is repeating itself. Right here. In America.

"Evil doesn't even begin to approach it" Noam Chomsky expressed what countless of decent people are saying these days. I just leave it there.

‘The high point of TV as a medium’: David Lynch’s Twin Peaks may never be bettered

How? How are we allowing this to actually happen? I can't even wrap my head around this. I never thought in my lifetime I'd witness the death of American democracy & be living in a fascist country run by one of the most vile humans. It's a nightmare I can't wake up from. I just want to wake up.

Sen. Hirono asked Hegseth about his vows to not drink if named Secretary of Defense. He said "Absolutely" She asked if he would resign if he resumed drinking. He did not answer. What I find disturbing? He did not just say, "I am clean and sober since.." and give a date.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Ain't that the damn truth! Hahaha haha 🤣 🤣 Pass it on.

Listen, if RFK Jr doesn’t work out, maybe Trump can nominate this expert for HHS. 🥴

"You voted for the guy because he was anti-immigration. Now he's going to let immigrants take the high-paying jobs but throw the fruit pickers out. His boss told you to go F your own face, then scolded you the next day, saying you should be nicer. What am I missing here?"
