I do my regular grocery pick up first thing on Saturday morning and I was expecting them to be out of everything with all the panic shopping going down this week. I am surprised, out of 40 items, they didn't have 3 things. I know I give GE a ton of shit but their shoppers are awesome.

First time I’ve been in a Target store since the boycott started a year ago. I’m not spending any money.

The Hubs summed up the news covering the incoming snow as "their big snowgasm". Reporter at a salt barn, check. Reporter driving around, check. Reporter at a grocery store, check. Weather people acting like we're all gonna die, check.

People here acting like snow is a new thing and in total panic mode. Sweet jesus, calm down. We have snow plows. While it may mean an inconvenience of staying home on Sunday and possibly Monday, this isn't like states that never see snow and have zero snow removal.

Some good news today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCTf...

I think Rich is out of fucks to give on this snow. He just took the leaf blower out to clean off the driveway and sidewalk. P.S. It worked.

There's a FREE AMERICA WALKOUT on Tuesday, January 20th at 2:00PM. Across the country, there are gatherings to join, if you can walkout.

🔥 From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social : “This is nuts. What the fuck is going on? I’ve never protested in my life… they tell you it’s immigrants — it’s fucking anybody. They’re just trying to scare people. I’m not paid to be here. I have to work in the morning. This is wrong.”

Sunrisemvmtpgh: STAND UP AGAINST ICE TRYANNY!! Stand up for our Neighbors!! Dress Warmly! Its cold! Hat, Gloves, Layers! Also don't forget to wear a mask with everything going around. Let's not get our neighbors sick www.instagram.com/p/DTibIgBEbyA

“This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement, instead, it’s a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by the federal government."

I support Shapiro running again but, 7 text messages yesterday asking for money is a bit much. I'm pretty annoyed by that since it smacks of tone deafness. People are struggling right now. Asking me 7 different times to donate to your campaign, wow.

I had to get it out of my system. My open letter to the Block family in light of today's news they are shutting down the storied Post-Gazette. I am just so very angry. open.substack.com/pub/breathin...

I can put my pasta fork down from battle for now.

@kiki5158.bsky.social Happy Birthday!

Cranberry upside down cake.

Mouse war day 2. Traps were placed. Last night a trap was set off but is missing in the walls of the basement. Ordered a telescoping camera. Pantry had evidence this am but was not successful as everything is in plastic containers. Body count of one in the garage. The war continues.

I didn't have yank everything out of my pantry to sanitize the shit out of it because I saw evidence of a mouse on my bingo card. And I thought I was going to have a relaxing day. That little fucker is going down.

RFK Jr. has cancelled federal grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, claiming the work they fund “no longer aligns with departmental priorities.” Those grants weren’t about ideology.

MORE from Jack Smith: "If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether the President was a Republican or Democrat."

After listening to someone else read that deranged lunatic's speech...Wow, just wow. He's not just a few fries short of a happy meal.

What’s worse, Fetterman working harder to get a pardon for Netanyahu than healthcare for his own constituents….or the fact that he did the Netanyahu letter in secret?

Fucking Fedex chucked my package out of the truck door at the street in the rain and snow, breaking almost everything inside it. I had my infusion on Monday and am not supposed to lift anything so that was not fun.

BREAKING: The FBI makes an arrest in the investigation into pipe bombs placed in D.C. on the eve of the Jan. 6 riot, an AP source says.

Getting flashbacks to my drunken college roomies.

Listen, I totally get that organizations that depend on donations are struggling and need every cent they can get right now BUT, when you send me 14 emails in one day after I already donated to you, you're pissing me off.

Is it just me or does the coverage of the Macy's parade suck? Sweet hell, just show the parade already.

Time to make the pumpkin praline pie with an extra boatload of bourbon for this year just because.

This quote. "Pajamas on the plane is NOT the problem. The lady using the heel grinder is *a* problem, but not *the* problem. Planes falling out of the sky: definitely a big problem. Air traffic controllers being underpaid and overworked, absolutely a problem. 1/2

Whew, cleaned out a couple of closets that really needed going through. A pile for donations, one for the humane society, and one for trash. Now I just need to find out what I can do with the 3 sets of damn china that I have. I don't think that donation places want that stuff.

A federal judge has dismissed the criminal charges against former F.B.I. Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, ruling that the prosecutor Trump handpicked to pursue the cases was illegally appointed.

I feel seen.

@kirstennotkristen.bsky.social Happy Birthday!

So according to Scott Besset, beef prices are soaring due to illegal cows crossing the border. From South America. What kind of passport or visa do they need? A Moo-1 visa? Christ on a cracker, I need more coffee for this bullshit.

I think this may be the earliest I have ever decorated for Christmas. With everything a dumpster fire, it brings me joy to have my cozy decorations.

I'm Italian and if this goes through, I'll be organizing the riot. Bring pasta forks people. We ride at dawn. www.theguardian.com/food/2025/no...

Someone in my neighborhood has been running a leaf blower for hours. I would really like to shove that up their ass.

Govt workers went back to work this morning and the email from payroll telling them how they will be paid is really a thing of shit. Paid in one lump? Nope. Interim (read we will fuck this up royally like last time) payments.

So we're using the economic indicator that is Door Dash. WTAF!

I have a loaf of rosemary olive oil bread baking in the oven and it smells amazing.

Please read this, please read every single word.

Woke up feeling more hopeful than I have in a long time. People are sick of this shit and fighting back.

Yes!

In cooking with Diana, today's cooking involves cleaning out the freezer to make room. I'm making hashbrown casserole but using frozen tater tots. I didn't have cheez-its to put on top of it so I crushed gold fish crackers. Stay tuned on the outcome.
