Anybody else go on book buying binges? I have so many books to read and have read so many. I have stacks everywhere from pocket books like Snyder’s “On Tyranny” & a Poe collection for travel, to 40lb coffee table art books. I want to shop for some books on fashion houses next, and more on jewellery.

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

@juliethecranky.bsky.social I saw this when I was there but this is much better footage.

The 217.8 carat Columbian Emerald. It’s is one of the largest known emergalds. One size is decorated with a poppy motif and the reverse is inscribed with Shi’a verse.

Rep. Angie Craig: "We're gonna move forward to impeach Kristi Noem"

I need a lawyer (cus sadly my sister is no longer here) to explain how this isn’t a violation of the employees 1st amendment right?

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Bragging that you just passed your 3rd dementia test is a great way of telling us they've made you take 3 dementia tests

@juliethecranky.bsky.social this piece belonged to the oldest child of Marie Antoinette & Louis XVI, as Sophie didn’t survive infancy and the other two living children were males. See next post to learn the provenance…. As Maria Therese had no children. www.instagram.com/reel/DS73jyC...

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

IF MTV had kept to its mission, to show actual MUSIC VIDEOS, then perhaps I wouldn’t have quit watching 30 years ago. Yes, they had a ratings boon w/their “reality” shows, maybe 4-5 that really took off, (Real World, Jersey Shore, Skins), but they killed their own baby w/oversaturation. #Madea

@juliethecranky.bsky.social this book is great. Bought it to read in Zurich. She has worked at Christie’s and Sotheby’s and she evaluated Princess Margaret’s stash after she passed. She discusses the Poltimore in the prologue. Great book, so far.

Monfils!!

@moondragqueen.bsky.social your “Queen” outfit was so great. Your rub on All Stars was very fun. I hope you’re proud of yourself. The contenders you faced in the roast were pretty top notch. (Well- all but Piche 🤣). Excellent showing, Moon. 🌙🩵

Hey, anyone who reads my stuff. IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT, tell me of a scene you thought was especially good. I’m trying to see if y’all can tell the difference when I’m inspired vs when I’m just writing to get from one scene to the next. Participation not required!

Mom, we are in TV! And not just TV, BBC News 💪

This is the (nearly) worst …. My goodness. Unsure that these are THE WORST- as Fognini has several more and Nole was cut out entirely 😝 youtu.be/AlBx4zWOm8s?...

Yesterday I knocked the lamp over and the bulb cracked and broke, but the filament didn’t break, so it still lit. It was bizarre. Anyway, mom took the lampshade down and this is what transpired. Minerva has discovered a new toy!!! 😻

Trump discussing his cabinet. His 2 brain cells. His advisors — his children.

On the Lion & The Cobra has a song called Never Get Old - there is a portion a voice in Gaelic reading the Bible. That person is ENYA.

This is reminiscent of Los Desaparecidos of South America. 🤦

Justice Sotomayor dissents: "Rather than allowing our lower court colleagues to manage this high-stakes litigation … this Court now intervenes to grant the Government emergency relief from an order it has repeatedly defied. I cannot join so gross an abuse of the Court’s equitable discretion."

I’m so glad I got to Sinead O’Connor once. Her first albums slaps hard.

I have never had this happen, and I don’t advise anyone try it. I have a mosquito bite on my ring finger, on the pad of tip of my finger. It’s so weirdly itchy.

Today is my sister’s 54th birthday. Rest in peace. We love you. We miss you.

My cat is balancing her checkbook, apparently. I looked over the balustrade and she was working on the table.
