#KingTides High tide on the Petaluma River at the foot of G Street on 12/4/25 just before noon.

Was Adm. Bradley involved in this mission where fishermen were murdered to prevent them from talking about what they had seen? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...

Just heard that Claude the albino alligator died at age 30. He was one of the good ones.

Reps. Chris Deluzio, Houlahan, Goodlander, and Crow and Sens. Elissa Slotkin and Kelly; please do not talk to Kash Patel’s FBI. You have the right to remain silent, exercise it. It will really piss them off.

God smite the Donald Trump, He is a putrid lump, God smite the Trump! He is most odious, Profoundly odorous, Please take him away from us, God smite the Trump!

Litttle was not interested in the Cal game. He was interested in lap time. (And biting me.) #caturday.

This looks like what spiders do when given meth.

In this town of c. 60,000 I think we had at least 4,000 people probably more. We made our 3.5% and a bit. More than June this time.

I got a new shirt for No Kings Day. Put it on the bed to admire it and when I came back into the room later it had been commandeered by the cat. He approves. This is cat.

From Eliot Cohen in The Atlantic. “There is a certain kind of Army officer who, after the excitement of company command, finds his career stalled, and who perhaps leaves the service as a major in the National Guard filled with bitterness and resentment. 1/

I just learned (from my doctor, who’s a Navy veteran) that the local market gives a 15% discount to veterans. Good on them. Good for me.

Hey restaurant people; if Trump shows up at your workplace, when you clear, put his dishes and flatware in a ziplock, smile and take it away. It’ll freak him out.

Long way to go until 1200 hours EST, January 20, 2029. Stay strong.

Reagan had Alzheimer’s and he was a terrible president, but much, much better than Trump.

I suppose we’ll get re-runs of The Man Show. You know, community standards. Or maybe the FCC will force Tuckles back on the air.

AP caption on photo in today’s paper: “A spotted lanternfly flies past President Donald Trump as he boards Air Force One, Thursday at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, en route to New York.” Trump upstaged by radical left lunatic lanternfly?

Noticed that the cancelled almost completed RI offshore wind generation project is being built by a Danish company. Trump is mad at Denmark because they won't give him Greenland. Is that another reason for our petty, ignorant, demented, mentally ill president to stop the project?

"A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies." Thanks R.E.M.

“Never knew the President to do anything inappropriate” 1. What about Trump when he was not president? 2. What is a perjurious rapist, pedophile’s definition of appropriate?

Man! Governor hasn’t even signed the law putting the new districts on the ballot in November and I’m already getting opposition mailers. (Funded by Charles Munger, Jr., a right wing billionaire creep son of a right wing billionaire.)

After listening to part of Trump's spew this morning, I realized that the AI video of rabbits on a trampoline is a perfect metaphor for what's going on inside Trump's head.

Choco and Mr. Little showing their interest in #caturday. (Not really it was a shake of the Greenie bag.)

There’s a BMW commercial currently airing where the drivers all lie to their bosses or co-workers. I knew BMW drivers were fundamentally dishonest but it seems sorta dumb to brag about it.

Been laying low for almost 82 years now.

I can only explain the actions of RFK, Jr. and his anti-science buddies at HHS as a form of eugenics. By cutting back on preventive medicine, they figure that people with “weak” immune systems will be killed off by preventable diseases. 1/

It’s #caturday and Mr. Little is putting in the effort.

Has the House adjourned? Did the Senate agree? If not can the President adjourn both houses until such time as he sees fit? (Art I, §5, Cl 4 & Art II, §3) I don’t think that was the intent, but Trump will try if Congress is acting pesky.

I ocasionally get notices about class actions in which I may be a member of the class. Some obscure, some not. If I think I might be entitled to participate, I'll fill out the claim form. Yesterday I got a check for $599.00, and a notice that another $180.00 is on the way. 1/

NYT has an article on government trying to reduce Medicare spending on skin substitutes. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/h... Is that what was on the back of Trump's hand?

Venmo sent me $5.00 for signing up. I bought $4.00 worth of Bitcoin. I have a paper profit of $0.14. I think I'll buy a grape.

Jesus, they're already propagandizing the big ugly.

Republicans keep arguing that tax reductions increase economic growth. The historical evidence does not really support this, but the general media never pushes back on this talking point. There is evidence that tax cuts simply increase inequality.

What do you think ICE will do when it become difficult to find immigrants? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Sarah nails it. I will never understand how a responsible adult could do what Murkowski did. But I'm an atheist and a lifelong Democrat.

Jeeezuz, we've gone from "They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, they're eating the pets of the people that live there." To, "They're eating themselves."

Is “oblituary” a real word?

I did not vote for Trump, nor did I vote for Stephen Miller to boss Trump around, and I sure as hell did not vote for Trump to take orders from Bibi Netanyahu.

Local law enforcement is pushing people away from the federal bldg in LA. No precipitating event, but it sure smells like they were told that Nat Guard & USMC would engage the crowd if locals didn’t.

I think we got close to our 3.5% here in beautiful (historic) downtown Petaluma. The rolling coal Nazi kiddies stayed away. Good weather, good folks.

D.C. forecast for tomorrow is now 95% chance of thunderstorms. There’s a heavy rain and possible flooding watch for tonight.

80% chance of thunderstorms in D.C. Saturday. Come on down.

249 years ago we rebelled against a king because "He has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation."

249 years ago we rebelled against a king because he "... affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power."

"...[W]hen a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, ... evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security."

Why is the San Francisco PD down in LA?

"He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their Substance."

I haven’t been this angry at the federal government since the Vietnam war.

Two for #caturday. Little and Choco.

Hey SEC - who shorted AAPL yesterday?
