Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet(s). Mine (Snoop) is in the foreground.

Hey…wow! I actually got a live person on the phone at Sen. Tillis’s office to enjoy my mild rant encouraging Tillis to stay true to his pro-Fed independence speech last July (and I noted that he needs to acknowledge that Trunt is deranged). Felt good! Call your people!

Nice mics, but weird kidneys placement…

Okay. Champagne (the very best bottle at Lidl!) is in the fridge! Awaiting an Easter miracle!

Hoping for an Easter miracle!

I dunno. Maybe restricting replies isn’t the best way to get responses? @len.bsky.social

Aargh. Besides overt murders, how many other souls are losing their lives prematurely as a result of this regime’s negative impact on physical and mental health? Just learned that a smart, decent, caring person with whom I canvassed in ‘24 chose to exit. The arc of justice cannot come too soon.

I was born a couple of weeks after my due date, and I’ve been tardy ever since… But in the spirit of the Winter Olympics, and with deep respect for and remorse about Catherine O’Hara, I present this “Bald & Brassy” parody starring Dorothy Hamster. youtu.be/e1XWQJgMOvM?...

When someone close to you memes…

For anyone who thought NC’s lame duck retiring Senator Thommie Thillis had turned over some sort of new leaf…

Nice turnout outside the Durham VA Hospital for #AlexaPretti vigilante. #NoIce

As Mister Rogers said, “Look for the helpers.” Remember them and be like them.

I intend to attend.

This is the Jack Nicholson film that inspired Greg Bovino to be a "good" border patrol agent, instead of Harvey Keitel's bad border patrol guy. A cousin of Greg's mom, a gay cousin, from Watauga County, the late Neil Hartley, served as the film's executive producer...

Seems of interest to you, @markey.senate.gov.

I suppose Old Man Trump knows Just how much Racial Hate He stirred up In the bloodpot of human hearts… From Woody Guthrie’s Old Man Trump

Never forget. 🇺🇸

Americans do not want war. Congress needs to reign in this administration. Now. Pray for peace and demand it from our elected officials. The number to call your member of Congress: (202) 224-3121. Don’t allow our government to put troops into another illegal war.

This may or may not be the @hiroshi-nagai.bsky.social account, but I hope the artist raises a ruckus.

I knew Trump was giving tax handouts to giant corporations, but I wanted to find out just how big ONE tax handout really was. It's shocking.

Governor Hunt was a fine, decent leader. And he took the time to write back a 17-year-old nobody (you can tell that he even typed it himself)…and to sign the image I took and sent him! Here’s hoping we return to better things in the new year. And here’s to a deserved rest to a faithful servant.

Have any U.S. reps or senators said anything about the disingenuous tiny tranche of cunningly curated and rebelliously redacted files? This post mature ejaculation violated the Congressional mandate. Just curious. If the country’s legislative body won’t uphold its own laws, what’s its raison d’être?

Last night Trump Kennedy Center CEO Ric Grenell hosted “the first-ever” (? red spruce? in the Opera House?) Christmas tree lighting (with Menorah! looking like a spectator in the back). He thanked special guest, Ag Sec. Brooke Rollin, for “giving” us the tree. (1 of 6)

Hmm…”arguably” is doing some exceedingly heavy lifting here. www.wral.com/news/investi...

Well, of course Doc “Teeth” McGhee was warmly welcomed at the Whore House. Presidential pardon incoming?

Hilarious trolling by White House Navy Mess chef? Note all of the international flavors, while MAGAts disparage others, particularly others of color. And note the ode-to-coke dessert in pic 2. (Images from Tommy Thayer, who apparently replaced Ace Frehley in KISS in the early part of this century).

It’s wild to ponder how far our country has fallen. In just 60 years, we went from Lonesome Rhodes’ well-deserved comeuppance in “A Face In The Crowd” to ignoring and accepting the vile transgressions of a soulless excuse for a human. He makes Lonesome Rhodes look like a choirboy.

Hmm. He could be punching walls. Or he’s just rotting.

This requires sharing.

I don’t understand…was it because I used 10 words and not less than 10? Oops. My bad.

I hope that the next petty president changes Dozing Don’s images on the Presidential Wall of Fame (or whatever TF he’s calling it) to this unmatched portrait by Netherlands artist Siegfried Woldhek. Amazing that Woldhek captured Trump’s true aura back in 2019! woldhek.nl/gallery/poli...

This is me at 15. Despite trying hard to have boobs (they came along three years later), I’m definitely not an “underage woman” or even a barely illegal woman here, MegynKelly. There’s something seriously wrong with you. Pity on your daughter.

Is Smetana’s “Bartered Bride, Act III, Scene 2: Dance of the Comedians” the best damn triangle piece or what? That piece is Skočná and sočná!

Happy Hilde Day! Anti-Nazi activist and defiant lesbian #HildeRadusch, with partner Else "Eddy" Klopsch, risked arrest to aid Jewish neighbors and support the resistance. Forced to flee from the city during the last months of WWII, the pair narrowly avoided starvation. Painting: Lars Deike.

Ahoy!

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

My sister got a snap with my “NO P̶A̶R̶KING ANYTIME” sign in the foreground. #Durham #NoKings

Lest we forget, happy 50th anniversary to this Schoolhouse Rock classic. youtu.be/3R1tZ6l876Q?...

Listen to @auntiebev.bsky.social and share.

Yikes. Was a registered Republican; not a drag queen. Maybe child rapists could lose their tongues in a reverse Ellen James Society way?

What about when he manhandled the child before (?) slamming the mom on the floor? Photojournalist Carol Guzy (unfortunately not on Bluesky) is on her way to a fifth Pulitzer for her coverage of Icetrocities. Follow her work www.instagram.com/carolguzy

During my public TV career, I was always amazed at how few calls/letters/emails it took for our programming people to sit up and take note. Y’know, a barrage of calls, etc. to local ABC affiliates (central NC’s WTVD: 919-683-1111) won’t thrill them, but, oh well, they can take it up with the Mouse.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

It’s amazing that NC’s cross-eyed congresscritter Dr. Virginia Foxx voted against. I mean, it’s not surprising…just amazing.

WTAF. I was out today, mostly driving and not listening to news…and I’ve only just now learned of the threats against several HBCUs, apparently in retaliation for/in honor of “free speech champ” (unless you’re anything other than a white, cis-gender male, christian nationalist) Charlie Kirk. 1/3

Main Character Syndrome: “On the steps of the Capitol today, Republican congresswoman Nancy Mace, a vocal conservative and Trump ally from South Carolina, said that she ‘will not be doing any outdoor events anytime soon.’” Ever-aggrieved bigot Mace stated this *outside* on the U.S. Capitol steps.

Haven’t seen these posted yet. From the #Epstein book: original tit-prints from infamous sexologist/performance artist/sex and porn activist Annie Sprinkle, commissioned by occasional acting Harvard Prez Henry Rosovsky, who wrote: “For the man who has almost everything—but never enough of these!”
