💯this. It's why I won't be doing anything that celebrates this country on July 4. Except, of course, getting drunk and stoned that day if he dies.

Offered without comment.

My new next-door neighbor is gonna be great. I won't directly link to her FB page (cuz reasons), but you can look her up yourself. The garden - for the Blooms - is going in now. I see several things I want/need on this list. Looking forward to the opening. #CarlinvilleIL

Keep it moving! #ReleaseTheFiles

Hey Misty @istytehcrawk.bsky.social Investigating GCHS. WTAF

Two thoughts on my first day at the gym... 1) On the treadmill, my feets are telling me "yeh, we walkin" and what's left of my brain says "if we walkin', how come the scenery ain't changing?". 2) I thought gyms were filled with hot men wearing short shorts. Apparently that's a lie told by porn. 🙄

😆 From MetaFilter today re: Charles at Congress: If he didn't open with "it's great to be here today, I think my brother knows several of your colleagues," that's a real missed opportunity. posted by phunniemee at 2:11 PM on April 28 [37 favorites]

So this is what happens when someone uses USPS Ground "Advantage"? Ordered a pc part... Shipped from CA to St Louis <50miles away. Over to Washington MO ~40 miles west of STL. Back to STL. Then to Oshkosh WI. Then to Oak Creek WI. Back to STL. Then to Springfield IL. Then delivered. Crazy. 😕

“This guy, who I’ve been dating for almost a year, he’s way too far left. … The first proof is he thinks there’s more than two genders,” says Evan. “I tried telling him there were only two genders, and he got mad at me.” I got no sympathy for ya, dude. www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/inside-the...

He went camping. He jammed with local musicians. He drank root beer delivered on roller skates. He shopped for records. He bought a guitar. Then he went home. We still miss you, George. #TheBeatles #GeorgeHarrison abcnews.com/US/wireStory...

So anyway, I decided that this morning I wanted - no, I needed - 3 eggs for breakfast. Got everything ready, cracked the first one which totally broke apart and landed not only on the floor, but also about half of it dripped down into the cold-air return vent. 1/3

🎵In olden days, a glimpse of stocking Was looked on as something shocking. But now, God knows, Anything goes.🎵

Funny, but also not funny. F DJT.

Pic from today's NY Times. I won't link to any page of the Times. You can go look it up if you like. Looks like TFG's diaper loads from this term. Sorry. Not sorry.

I remember this (Baptist) church camp incident every few years. Told my siblings yesterday. Why do you think I don't remember more? Maybe nothing else happened? Very early '60's. I would have been around 10-11 years old.

Yeh, D is worst. I like F cuz I'm an old. I can live without G and H. But you don't wanna stand between me and C or I.

Scathing opinions here... ..."ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas." ..."the government's ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence." I love it. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Thanks for the update, Tim! #NeverTrumper #NoICE

Thanks for including me, Sassy! #NeverTrumper #NoICE

Been fighting back tears of rage for a couple hours now. The tears won...for now.

"...the ultimate Florida man." I really didn't need another reason to very dislike Florida and MR. But, I'll add it to the list.

Happy Birthday weekend to one of my Bluesky (and irl) favorites! 🎂🎉

I began watching The Drew Carey Show on a streamer, as I remembered it as being quite funny and I missed most of it during its original run as I had a life back then. But during the 3rd season, I realized it was a lot of just fat-shaming and name calling. Did we actually find that amusing back then?

This wonderful lady is my new spirit animal. Or at least my spirit advisor.

I live very near here in our little county tucked away in a normally peaceful corner of IL. I worry about the large handful of brown folks (and their businesses) who share my town while just trying to survive this regime and their horrid gestapo tactics.

Why do these *holes even bother pretending to do the work they were hired to do...show as in-session for a whole 3 minutes (with hateful Foxx as speaker pro tempore).

Proud to be Antifa!

...(Elton John) said, ‘Are you fucking crazy? That will never be a hit. It’s too long!’ Even though it's way overplayed on classic rock radio, Bohemian Rhapsody is still one of my all-time faves, especially on over-the-ear headphones. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-... #Queen #classicrock

Just found the template for my homemade mask for the next pandemic.

I am also an American Heathen, and I approve this message.

Terrence Stamp is coming back. “So we did everything in our power to make it happen… And by God, we’re giving it to him.” I'll be in the line to see this the first day, but not in my little hometown. Nothing like this ever plays here. #PriscillaQueenoftheDesert2 deadline.com/2025/09/tere...

It's been about 6 years since I cracked open the bottle of brandy in my freezer, but that day will be the next time I open it.

This is from 2019. What do you think it would look like if built today? Just a mound of sand with the current fascist regime's storm trooper boot prints?

Any suggestions how to determine worth (if any) of these two cards from my late father's collection? Anything other than ebay, please. More info in ALT.

Last night I instinctively, reflexively, slapped dead a spider crawling harmlessly across my kitchen cabinet. As my hand hit the counter top, I instantly regretted my decision. That selfish act now lives rent-free in my head. Maybe forever.

One million kisses (anywhere you like) for everyone including me in your starter packs!

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Macoupin County Courthouse - Carlinville, IL” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Sorry we didn't have this in the early 1980's.

This is a welcoming account.

Things can often be a little slow here in my home town in very rural Macoupin County, IL., but occasionally we find our voices and stand against the bullies. I'm not in this pic (because I didn't know this was happening) but I am proud of those who are. www.enquirerdemocrat.com/2025/04/16/l...

Here's another of the on-again/off again posts from our friends at MetaFilter about misophonia. If you don't know what that is, the list of tags on the right-hand column of the page can lead you to sympathetic comments all about this annoying ...um...condition(?). www.metafilter.com/208226/What-...

If it makes it easier for your friends...

What flavor is the purple one? Fruit? Purple's a fruit.

My only thoughts today in reverse order: 3) The only true Hellboy is Ron Perlman 2) Weed still will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no weed 1) To borrow a line from the Offspring - "dance, fucker, dance". I did. It was fun.
