I'm trying!! the weather has been beautiful for walking.

Let me tell you that two weeks with an Irish doodle will wear you out!!! But I'm thinking she might be a little worn out herself. Some days we did 12 and 13,000 steps.

It's good to be home. Even though I did come home after being gone two weeks and finding out that a mouse has been having a good time in my birdseed in the kitchen. I guess it's that time of year. I sure hope it's a mouse and not a rat. It's time for a Guinness.

Just saw a post by a man with a selfie of him, sitting in a chair, reading a book and having a drink. I don't think I've ever seen anything sexier. #booksky

I was talking to someone at lunch recently and we touched on the topic of civil war. I said I've seen people cheering for the idea, which I find horrifying. She said something that stuck with me. "We're already at war. It just doesn't look like people expected."

Yes!!!!

We just won our lawsuit against the DHS after a judge ruled the department can't hold life-saving disaster relief funds hostage to advance its anti-immigration efforts. The federal government cannot prioritize its cruel immigration agenda over Americans' safety.

Yes!!!

It takes a village... all the staff was scurrying about for the last two days because the masters are coming home from Europe! The gardeners, the assistant, the cleaners, the dog sitter (me), it's like Downton Abbey!!!

CARTOON OF THE DAY (Updated Version)

I agree totally.

Some pretty nasty stuff in The NY Times today about Errol Musk. Another pedophile.

Charlie Kirk says "stupid Muslims" and jokes about bombed buildings in Gaza. ...Because killing gays, genocide and murder is so funny?

ABC-7 in Washington, DC (owned by Sinclair) is not showing Jimmy Kimmel. Let the station know you will boycott their advertisers until they lift the cloak of censorship.

Health Canada put out a safety alert about acetaminophen. recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-rec... #Canada #health

During WW1 there was a rumour that aspirin caused the Spanish Flu. As I was writing about that last year I often shook my head in disbelief at the stupidity of our near ancestors. Seems a lot of people are still dumb enough to believe nonsense.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Congratulations to @jimmykimmel.com on his triumphant return! Last night he was pitch-perfect. Inspirational, self-reflective, gracious to his haters, championing the 1st Amendment & most importantly: FUNNY. (Shout-out to Robert DeNiro as the mob-boss head of the FCC)😆

Saving Ginger’s number lol. Another brilliant video by @mamasissiesays.bsky.social! Because if we don’t laugh every once in a while, we’re all gonna ______ (wrong answers only). 🥴

Obama photographer Pete Souza posted this pic of Obama on that UN escalator… www.instagram.com/p/DO9GFjUEZi...

So why can't @chicagobearsnews.bsky.social accomplish this?!?! #chicagobears chicago.urbanize.city/post/plan-co...

My kids have been watching the 1992 X-Men cartoon and it's woke as hell; president threatening internment camps, false flag ops to make the mutants look violent, professor explaining scspegoating as a political tactic. Kind of freaky to see how the media has fallen. 1/2

Yes!!!!!

Lady on dog walk this morning: That is so cute you say "bless you" when your dog sneezes!! Me: Doesn't everyone?!? 😂😂

Family separation is back under Trump. Just CNN alone found more than 100 American children left stranded after ICE took their parents. Here’s just one story… Meet Isaac

On October 18, we rise! Not to defend broken systems, but to defend each other! Because our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. FIND or HOST a 10/18 action at www.FiftyFifty.one #NoKings #Oct18 #50501Movement

So this was my face in a Teams meeting right before the Dog I am watching, jumped into the picture frame and licked my entire face in front of 10 people watching online.

Uh oh... this little food delivery guy seems lost. #coco

Wow!!!

A beautiful stroll in a beautiful neighborhood of Gold Coast Chicago. #historicdistrict

So White House advisor Mr. Miller basically called for us Dems to be exterminated at the memorial. And my party the Democratic men voted yea. Thanks for nothing. Nazi chickens.

Mums the word! #landscaping #goldcoastchicago

Met a friend at the farmers market and was talking about this with her and she shrugged her shoulders and said "all companies have some bad part to them we can't boycott all of them". Oh yes we can!!

The Trump building here in Chicago dumps hot water into the river and has been fined several times for it. Absolutely nothing happens.

So the photo of Trump flanked by RFK Junior on one side, And Mehmet Oz on the other just makes me laugh. Then I cry.

💯💯💯💯

Drumpf is just pissed off at Tylenol because Melania keeps telling him that she has a headache.

The #MAGARapture is tonight…all I can say is please take the pedophile first for the sake of everyone left behind. Amen.

In 1926 the great late John Coltrane was born. I'm going to listen to him all day.

I have seen about eight different dates listed for the discovery of autism today.
