Dean Koontz desperately claps a tiny gas mask made to fit Brian Jacques' face before he puts his own on.

Benjanun Sriduangkaew [speaking through jugsaw puppet] hello dan simmons Simmons: what the Sriduangkaew: let's play a game

Talked to the new PT about goals. I want to walk 3-5 miles without pain on bad pavement. She is confident about being able to rehab the knee enough to “tolerate walking 5 miles.” The difference between pain free and tolerable knee pain is daunting.

MAXIMUS: My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next. MEDIA: Veteran demands answers after family tragedy

The world is still falling apart, but I feel safer than I did a few days ago

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

Satirists cannot work under these conditions

Paul Newby doesn’t want the world to know how he responds to reporters. His talk of “Biblical Justice” runs straight up against Ex 23:1 (“You shall not carry false rumors; you shall not join hands with the guilty to act as a malicious witness. You shall not side with the mighty to do wrong”)

Hey hey! They’re just trying to be friendly. (Local authorities say they have covid and are not infectious. I’m not a believer.)

It’s because Canada no longer holds the quiet threat of destroying the White House again

Somebody said “We must ease pressure on the Cambridge rental housing market! Tall apartment buildings! ADU infill! We’ll try anything!” And the monkey’s paw began to move

Great idea! Start fundraising now to support the retail workers this is going to hurt first

Before the ACA, a lot of people didn’t get formal diagnoses because they were afraid a pre-existing condition would make them uninsurable. Losing the ACA after being out of that closet, is going to be very difficult indeed

Solidarity forever!

Hope for the next generation

My knee is still screaming at me. Please march for me. Stay healthy and strong against fascism.

J. D. VANCE: We need to end DEI. MONKEY’S PAW: (raises one finger)

My most unhinged opinion is that I like sliding doors

It can’t be a coincidence that the White House and its minions have joined bluesky the day before the No Kings protest. Do not engage. Block. Protect your peace and what’s left of this space.

I wonder what it means for children to be “under quarantine” these days? Schools really have a problem with kids missing classes. Is a parent supposed to stay home with the kid, missing work for 3 weeks? Do their siblings go to school, sports, scouts?

alt-text: The inspiring, monumental crowned frog holding aloft the torch of freedom is the Statue of Ribbetry.

I have seen Him in the refugees arriving on our shores And I’ve seen His Pontius Pilates on the House and Senate floors. Let us build Him up an altar before ICE’s prison doors.

I don’t care if it’s cringe, suck it up and put on the fucking frog suit

Don’t bother with the replies. Most of them assume ICE agents are too dim to read, rather than than being spiteful and gullible and immersed in toxic propaganda. (Are you too clever to be mean-spirited? Sorry, nobody is that clever.)

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

Globalize the inflatada.

ICE wasn’t prepared to face amphibious units.

AI Studies need to include comparative anatomy. How many thumbs/hand? How many elbows/arm? How many placentas/baby, and do they all go in the same car seat

This story is exactly what I needed to read this morning.

I am so frustrated since I messed up my knee AGAIN. (I tripped on my way home from PT, which is just embarrassing.) I had the Jenga tower of disability management all arranged. And then I rearranged it when I couldn’t walk downhill. Now I can’t walk far enough to make it work even flat.

ICE is looking for a few not so good men. #ice

I can't make this event @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social on Friday, but it's a fantastic idea and I really hope it's not the last one they host: www.eventbrite.com/e/letter-wri...

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

Not this year! Noem doesn’t want any rich international tourists coming to the Super Bowl.

Do first and second generation antihistamines interfere with each other?

The wine industry employs a lot of people, sure. I don’t know if Trump doesn’t know that, or if he just thinks too many of them look like Cesar Chavez.

What will poor Eric Adams do for work? That’s nbody’s business but the Turks!

Now the Time of Monsters is NEAR (Grover runs away) And now, the Time of Monsters is FAR!

The deep dishonesty in this letter to a romance author made me wonder if it was a political form letter. They obviously reach out like this habitually. They obviously care about race. They probably did not read the first 10 political thrillers in the series.

lol [imperative]

I resent that the MBTA has 2 buses with the same route number and different destinations. Not even like 77 and 77a, which had some differentiation, but 66 and 66. And all before 7:00 in the morning!

that's why you bring the US flag to protests, folks

If, hypothetically, you were putting a narrow bookcase in a corner where you couldn’t anchor it to a stud (drywall in front of brick), how high would you dare to make it? 2 shelves? 4? Dreaming big…6?

They are Naperheroes today

The husband saw your post and sent this along to me. Thought I'd share it here...for safety reasons. ;)

Cops are like elve^H^H Fair Folk from a different story. If a cop learns your true name, they will try to take you away for 7 years. Turning your coat inside out and walking backwards makes it harder for a cop to find you.

Isn’t anybody coming to bury Kirk, not praise him?

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”
