Read this. Try not to cry. Then get yourself a whistle and get out there with your camera when shit goes down. They are going to lie about what happened so we need brave people to witness and film like these citizens have. It won't be without risk, but the alternative is even worse.

Mildly disappointed that #NYT Spelling Bee didn't accept "cockblocked" as a word this morning.

This is the fighter I want. Schumer and Jeffries are not feisty enough for this moment.

My butt is so sore from yesterday’s glute workout that if it doesn’t look like the Russian dude’s on Heated Rivalry, I’m going to be disappointed.

You know everyone waking up to see "Air Force One" trending shared pretty much the same thought/hope before checking the headlines.

Last night I rattled off a list of items for Alexa to add to my shopping list. When I finished Alexa said, "I've added all that. It's a wide variety of items." Under my breath I said, "Spare me the analysis." After a pause, Alexa said, "OK. In the future I'll keep my observations to myself." 😵‍💫

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

This reminds me of the leaders I work with who receive feedback that they're too critical and then immediately want to tear apart that feedback. Uh – you're kind of illustrating their point here, buddy.

Nice work, RFK jr and all the stupid parents who think they know more than actual fucking scientists. Well done, idiots.

Today is the day Virginians will no longer need to feel triggered by a red vest. #RVA #Virginia #Inauguration

If that's not a face you'd love to punch, then I'm guessing you don't have fists.

Great thread.

I'm convinced that today's NYT Connections puzzle was a message from the afterworld from my late cat, Miss Moneypenny. #CatSky

Fuck yes, Jerome Powell!!! What is the point of the Fed if it cannot operate independently? This is what principled leadership looks like. 💪

Really loving this Kristi Noem sign. Simple yet effective.

I hate articles like this. As someone who has suffered from insomnia for a decade, I'm lucky to get 6 hrs. This just spikes my anxiety & makes it one more thing to think about when I'm wide awake a 2am. I've seen doctors, I've tried everything. It's not like I *want* to be a shitty sleeper. Ugh.

Just finished "So Far Gone" by Jess Walter. Absolutely unhinged in the best way. Vivid details and hilarious, incisive descriptors. It can't quite fit into any one genre: family drama, caper, buddy comedy, etc. Rating: 3.5/5 #fiction

Ramona Quimby has a very specific way she sits in a chair when her primary objective is just to make sure *I* can't sit in the chair, Even her face shows that she's deriving no pleasure from the chair, it's just a "grudge sit."

Make it viral.

Literally Good vs. evil. This makes the stakes incredibly clear.

Really seems like a terrible idea to make fish oil capsules and Jelly Bellies the same size and shape. Ask me how I know.

What's the last recipe you tried that was an absolute fail? I made sweet potato pancakes this morning and could not get the batter to the right consistency to cook all the way through. Used low heat, added milk to thin the batter, and still NOPE.

Well, well, well Banana Ball. Another year I didn't win the lottery for tickets. Your loss.

What Trump and Hegseth are doing to Mark Kelly is petty, vindictive and un-American. What absolute shitboxes.

I sincerely hope that PBS, NPR and state/local public media are well-funded by donors because I CANNOT WAIT for their coverage of the criminal trials once this Administration leaves office. I hope they are petty little bitches in their reporting when that day comes.

IT'S A TRAP!!! (also: such patience!)

When your cat is suddenly obsessed with empty space and you’re wondering is she’s seeing ghosts.

Had so much fun at Bingo Beer this afternoon. If you live in #RVA and are looking for a fun way to pass a chilly afternoon/evening, make a reservation.

PLEASE everyone do this. It’s so easy. Send a letter to Congress in only 2 minutes!! Tell them to DO THEIR JOBS and keep Trump in check!!! Pass it on. 🙏

I hope the rest of the world realizes that most Americans are horrified by what Trump is doing in Venezuela and wish we had the power to stop him. What does it take for an international tribunal to bring charges against members of this administration?

Jesus.

Started my #NewYear by shouting, "Fuck you, racists" at the people with Confederate flags outside the confederate chapel by the VMFA, then danced in the Cone Parade to bestow love and prosperity on everyone else in Richmond. #RVA

"Tossed away." What sane person does not think there's value in NASA's research???

Does anyone else regularly ask their cat, "Are those 'go away' purrs?"

When you legitimately take two weeks off work do you worry you won’t remember how to work when it’s over? That’s how I’m feeling today: like next week I won’t be capable of reentry. 😵‍💫

This administration is so crooked. Every time I think they've run out of ways to cheat. they come up with something new. I guess this is what happens when criminals are given power.

Honor Bill's memory by adding your feedback to these surveys to make Richmond a safer place for pedestrians and cyclists.

Man, the unending stream of posts from a wide variety of organizations and individuals commenting on the loss of Bill Martin really shows what an impactful, well-lived life looks like. I hope he knew how widely loved and respected he was. #RVA

Everyone posting these must not remember the similar pronouncements we offered in 2019. You can’t convince me that our “good riddance” posts manifested Covid. 😬

Every time a story like this runs, it should be accompanied by a large photo of RFK Jr.

This is ridiculous. NYC and DC should top the list, even with snow.

My cat has Puss N Boots eyes today.

Well now, this was the heartwarming story I needed this morning. Worth the read. Love thy neighbor.

The best part about tonight's bike ride was that little kids came running out their front doors in pajamas to wish us a merry Christmas – I think they heard our sleigh bells and thought we were Santa. 🥰

We are going to see ICE deport Santa this year, aren't we???

First Christmas in 50 years on my own and since I might have covid, I don't want to go germ up any of my friends' homes tonight, so I guess I'll be doing the holiday lights group bike ride in the Fan tonight. Love that there's always something to do in this town. Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄🎁

“‘Twas the night before the night before Christmas and the Covid tests were all lined up on the counter…”

You’re telling me that this guy — Homer Simpson in a diaper inhaling another man’s ball sweat — fancies himself an “alpha male”? OK. Sure.

Nothing sounds good for dinner tonight because I’ve eaten approximately 8 lbs of sugar/butter today. 🤮

Today’s attempt at cookies turned out better. Thank goodness.
