Donkey update. Still limping, but nowhere near as bad as he was. So today he is allowed out with the boys -- in a freaking rug, as it's nissing down. But, hey, it's an improvement. :)

I have an idea. Bear with me. So, if Dumpy retreats to a bunker... herd all his cronies in behind him. Set off an EMP to take out comms and electrical etc. Weld the doors shut. He'll be Schrödinger's President.

I had to repost that. This wins the internet today. 😂🤣😂🤣

Hm. Considering the WH is on loan, so to speak, but belongs to the people... Can every person in the country file a lawsuit for damages? After all, you own it. If you ripped down the garage of a rented house, the property owner would sue you, and I'm pretty certain they'd win. Just a thought.

I think I'll ditch all social media. Unfortunately I have to keep messenger and whatsapp, as my dad uses it to communicate and won't use anything else.

And you do realize that underneath the East Wing is the bunker, right? That's what's really going on there. Ballroom? Yeah, right. They are expanding and fortifying the bunker underneath.

So a friend of mine is in DC atm. She went up to the WH, and you can no longer get to the fence. You're stuck on the other side of the road from it. This is as close as you can get now.

You know... 16 year olds today have never ever seen a normal presidency. They don't remember Obama. Or any president before him, and likely only have a vague recollection of Biden. Trump is now their "Normal".

Wind is picking up mightily here atm. #NormandyFrance

I was watching some footage of a music event today. You know what struck me? Almost every person had their phone in front of them, filming. Guys. Life is passing you by. When you get to my age, you won't have memories of that event, because you didn't actually watch it.

I think it's time to split the Divided Shit of Murica into little countries. Each state their own country. Let's see how that goes. And once you've sorted out each state... STAY THAT WAY. Honestly, I don't want to be on a planet where that shithole exists. Nothing but trouble.

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

I am so tired of looking behind headlines and fact checking every post, news bulletin, or broadcast. I trust no one. I believe nothing I see, nothing I hear, nothing I read. I don't trust any physical book, magazine or newspaper published after 2022. This world we currently live in sickens me.

Went shopping. Some kid goes "You sure you need that, Grandma?" while I'm looking at a frying pan. I looked at him, and assessed my weapon for throwability, clonkability, and mused about whether it would dent or not. "Sweetie...are you SURE you don't need those teeth?" I'm GenX. DON'T go there.

More apples to collect. And the trees are still not done lol. The horses, when I come with a bucket of apples "Apples? AGAIN? How about some carrots instead?" They eat half, and the other half is "Meh" Yeah... we're all sick of apples, but I think we'll be eating them until January lol.

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

No weapons, no fireworks, no alcoholic beverages, random bag checks... That would never fly in the "we are so terribly free" USA. I mean, how dare they check for those things to keep EVERYONE safe?

You know how you can REALLY HURT those Billionaires? STOP USING AI

Yeah well. I said it would be them to come after your guns. Happy now?

You know... all that untraceable crypto? I'm waiting for the solar flare to take out all the electronics. Then what are they going to do, seeing as they have NO skills worth cultivating, or helping humanity. The farmers, plumbers, mechanical engineers etc etc will rule the world.

Okay, I am officially drowning in apples. Good grief. So far, I'm guessing I've picked up at least half a ton. (Probably more.) Everything that can hold an apple, is filled with apples. I'm down to bin bags now! (And there is still a lot left on the trees.)

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Congrats to Marina Corino Machado of Venezuela, for being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize!

These days, I trust *nothing* I see, hear, or read. Not even in a physical book, unless it was published before 2020, and even then I'm a little dubious. I only trust photographs I have taken myself, or which were taken by friends/family I know personally. Thanks, AI.

So appropriate again.

Dear @bsky.app I would like you to implement a feature that lets users proactively tag AI Slop as... AI Slop, when they see it. Let's nix that crap, please.

With all this "I want to get to heaven" yapping Dick Tator does -- I wonder if he's been given bad news. :P Ofc, the trouble will NOT be over once he does keel over. You'll have to deal with JD Goebbels then. And the rest of his cabal. It's still the most anticipated obituary on the globe tho.

Oh my...

Just me and my "Lapcat" doomscrolling. She's constantly making me lose my place, which is probably a good thing. Can't doom while the page is scrolling.

When I hear "Boomer", I think of my grandmother, who was the generation before "Boomer". She told me the best birthday present she ever got was...a washing machine. She was 96 at the time. (1990's) The first time she SAW a car...she was 16. Listening to how she grew up was a revelation. 1/2

Gah, missed it by one day because I was busy. REMEMBER HIROSHIMA 6th August 1945 REMEMBER NAGASAKI 9th August 1945 Combined death toll: between 150,000 and 246,000 CIVILIANS Isn't it time to hold the US responsible for war crimes? Also -- the ONLY country to drop nukes, ever: USA

Dear World. Stop trading *anything* with the US. Globally. Period. Tariffs, and now extortion and blackmail. Don't invest in the US, invest in your own countries instead. The only way to bring the bastard to his knees is to stop ALL exports, and not buy anything from the US. Reap what you sow.

kissanpäivät - Finnish, meaning "Cat Days" The English equivalent would be "Life of Riley"

I let the hooligans graze the garden the other day. Alas. That didn't mean I sanctioned a burglary of the horse feed. Several opened feed bins, flax bedding thrown everywhere, and half a sack of very expensive feed demolished because "someone" broke the lid and ripped the bag open. Bloody horses.

Turned the radio on while making coffee. On comes "Changes" by Ozzy. And now I need tissues again and my coffee tastes funny.

Frankly... I'm going to laugh if Trump croaks before Biden. You know, after all the "Too old" stuff. They were BOTH too old, but yeah... I'll be amazed if Trump makes it through his entire presidency. He's showing mental instability, now add likely cardiac problems to that? Hmmmm... Good luck.

#RIPOzzy Back in 1983, my then boyfriend gave me two choices of what will be on the car radio: Ozzy, or Ozzy. :) Little did I know it would start a lifelong appreciation for his music. I have met him on a few occasions, and while he was a bit of a nutter, he was always nice to me. :) Thank you Ozzy

#RIP-OzzyOsbourne Thank you for all the awesome music.

My #Sphynx Pixie, sunbathing on the porch. I did get glared at, briefly, because I turned off the sun again. (She is convinced I am in charge of turning the sun on and off.) I didn't close the porch screen door properly the other day... and found her on the hay bale outside. Sunbathing.

Hm... I might have to conduct another excorcism on the 3 banshees when it warms up again. They are getting smelly. (Heat = Sweat) Bath. I mean I have to give the CATS a BATH.

Hey, #ICE? When are you going to walk into those ganglands and detain those murderers and rapists everyone was told would be deported? Never? You are all fucking cowards of the worst order, hiding behind masks. If anyone should be thrown out of the country, it's Imbecile Cowardly Enforcers.

This was done by the farmers in Manche, for the Tour de France. Awesomely creative!

Our entertainment while we were waiting for the race to come through #TourDeFrance

Shot taken yesterday, as the #TourDeFrance came through our village.

A friend of mine suggested I ride my horse to watch. Me: "I really don't want to win this leg of the Tour de France that desperately. I look shit in yellow." "?" Me: "My horse is scared of bicycles. What do you think will happen when about a hundred of them come at him?" "Oh. But you'd be on TV!" 🙄

#AdrianaSmith Can all those news outlets stop saying Adriana Smith "Gave birth", please? Call it what it was. She didn't "Give Birth". She's DEAD, and has been for 4 months. The baby was removed from her dead body, that was being used as an incubator. 2 months early, because it was in a dead body.

Hey, Gen whatever you are, after GenX. You know how you keep complaining about "Boomers" wrecking the planet? Well, you know WHO is wrecking the planet faster than anyone? You, with your #AISlop. STOP IT. And you can lay your blame on yourselves, thank you. Boomers & GenX aren't doing it. You are.

I can't even... (He has a podcast or something, Republican.) Why is this guy not being arrested for making a veiled death threat / inciting someone to kill?
