It’s weird, but some nights I just don’t sleep.

A Welsh friend astutely commented the other day: "I see the Epstein files are on the front burner again...I suppose that's bad news for Iran."

My son has the sweetest way of playing with the dog that sort of mimes rough play, but is actually very gentle on that old Bulldog lady. She thinks he hung the moon. #adorable

“Last call” dog walk of the evening, right in time to catch the spirit of Maxfield Parrish fly over my neighborhood.

My lovely daughter in law taught me this; if I haven't made my 10K for the day, I march in place while doing whatever I was doing. It makes for a conversation if there's anyone else around, but I'm able to hit my 10K every day. Only about 400 more steps for today, so I'll probably exceed.

I know it can seem like a silly comment from Farage when he dismisses and belittles journalists, but look at the US right now and remember that's where Trump started. Respect for truth and accountability should be paramount.

chatting with my brother and we've definitely entered the "who has died" era of our lives

2026 basically

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

Oohhh. A fella got Big Mad at me for responding to his body shaming my Senator. All I did was take a picture of him and repost it under his comment. Why so mad there buddy?

I'll tell you one thing for free. Delphiniums never pan out to look like the glamor shots they show in the catalogs.

I've never successfully grown Hubbard Squash. There. I've said it. Probably my biggest gardening regret thus far. I'll try again this year because I'm a glutton for punishment if nothing else. And tenacious. #HubbardSquash #ThePerfectFood

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding? Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

“Readers should be able to assume that every word between quotation marks is what the speaker or writer said… The writer should, of course, omit extraneous syllables like ‘um’ and may judiciously delete false starts.” -NYT ethical guidelines

Two decades after a small Duke breast cancer vaccine trial, every participant is still alive — a rare outcome for metastatic disease. When researchers looked closer, they found the women’s immune systems still carried “memory” cells that recognised the cancer. buff.ly/MNeRhJh #ShareGoodNewsToo

RFK Jr/MAHA world say they're not reducing access to vaccines for anyone who wants them, only giving people "choice" to opt out. But by refusing to even review new vaccines, yes, they are absolutely blocking those who want a new immunization from ever having access to it.

“Bobsled” is a nickname. Its real name is Robert Sledbert.

I need a couple of things so I won’t look quite so unhoused on my next trip to Chicago. I’m clothes shopping and I need to try each thing in three different sizes because women’s clothes are cursed. It’s maddening.

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

Now do the same in America. "The Paris prosecutor's office on Saturday announced it was setting up a special team of magistrates to analyse evidence that could implicate French nationals in the crimes of the convicted US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein."

When that magical day finally comes, my community plans to turn out at our City Square with sheet cakes. It’ll be sheet cake day! A day we all look forward to. I may bake and freeze a sheet cake so I’ll be ready. I can hardly WAIT!

My question is why does Bondi still have a job

I remain hopeful that we're on the cusp of a blowback that won't stop until sociopaths like this are stripped of everything and permanently barred from our societies.

If your pal has a guarding breed dog, do exactly what your friend says when you are in their home. It’s not a game. Your friend isn’t being bossy. Do as you’re asked. This might involve not knocking on doors. Not staring. NOT play-fighting. Maybe specific rules around food as regards the dog.

Ten years ago today, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died, kicking off one of the greatest crimes committed against democracy when Mitch McConnell invented a pretense to deny President Obama a nominee, and everyone in power and media just shrugged and acted like he could do that.

normal weather feels so warm now.

hold on i gotta take this

Whoa!!!! Good work everyone! Awhile back I recommended on Next Door that neighbors remove/disable their Ring cameras. Then the Super Bowl happened and the story just went wild.

Read it all. I sort of knew most of this but here it is in clear straight forward terms. I’m shaking, but all we can do is to not stop fighting.

aloe vera and spider plants are really incredibly hard to kill.

👀👇🏼 Well done.

I was gifted some GF oreos. In the grand tradition of eating oreos, I just ate an entire sleeve of them and am now as sick as you might imagine. Nobody is home but me and the dog, but I'm still pretending that I'm not sick because it's embarrassing.

So much incompetence Aaron Parnas @aaronparnas.bsky.social The airspace was closed over a party balloon.

Post from an El Paso city councilor on one of the aviation subreddits

Our first post-PolarVortex walk translated into a very long very fun walkie. The dog is now absolutely flattened in a patch of sun, snoring. LOL. She had a blast, but I bet she's going to be out for a while.

I'm thinking of adding tea to my indoor forest. They say tea trees can grow in pots. I'll have to keep it cut back & root prune, but I'm pretty sure I can do it. Tea. So far I have lemon, orange, coffee, bay, and rosemary. The living room is quite crowded; everyone converging at the big window.

Context for my bitchiness today; I'm doing my taxes.

Why don't we just put all this to rest and make Puerto Rico a state and give them appropriate representation in government? He wants to take over everyplace else, why not our own territory?

Age verification? Look at my driver’s license:

Have you ever shopped so hard for clothes that you get to the point where everything starts to look like a costume? Maybe this is a me thing, but women’s clothes are kinda costume-y.

The older lady (who is younger than I) that I help clean for had a piece of cardboard under a table leg... While I was down there cleaning, I adjusted the table leg so it sits squarely. No more ugly cardboard. She was astonished. LOL. Sometimes you just need another set of eyes.

Chills!

I think the reason that making potato chips (crisps for you real English speakers) at home is so annoying, is that if it was easy and tidy, I’d just make them and eat them until I died.

People are calling it KKKoachella and I am slain.

Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…
