Trump continuing on his sexual journey towards coming out.

I’m keeping an eye on the weather forecasts for June 14th in Washington DC. I’m hoping there are torrential rains. Maybe some high winds to knock down this monstrosity of a structure. If a few maga people get hurt, I’m sorry but that’s maybe the price you have to pay.

Some people! A young guy, walking all around the cafe, from end to end, talking loudly into his phone. Bothering everyone. And no, the staff don’t say anything to him. No awareness? No social skills? Self centered? All of the above?

I think I just figured out a solution to drivers ignoring the warning signals at the Makkasan intersection. Left: the problem - people stopping on the tracks Right: the solution - clear the intersection with one of these.

Ha ha ha!

Just checked to get my daily coins from Lazada. I got 48 coins today. I could save almost five baht on my next purchase with those! What a joke.

I’m sorry, but this is funny.

From the ‘My Unsung Hero’ series.

Well deserved. Being moderate is one thing. Meeting the fascists halfway and helping out anti democracy criminals is another. He betrayed the people of his state.

Hanging out with a few friends tonight.

Good. Let him go back to the tech industry and get out of the way.

In case of 6 Venezuelans seized at gunpoint in their St Paul home without judicial warrant, Judge Tunheim orders govt to pay attys fees ($17,505) plus $2,917.50 to each detainee, including 12 y.o., under Equal Access to Justice Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

On this day in 1980, Mt. St. Helens eruption. Photos don’t show the real scale of the destruction. And for months afterward it continued to erupt and coat towns in the Pacific Northwest with ash.

Boebert is straight up admitting that the commutation was extorted by withholding federal funding: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I somehow missed this when it happened. Tina Peters’ sentence is commuted.

LOUISIANA: “These bills have diluted the voice of African-Americans, and don’t allow us to see us in Congress… i want to hold office in the future, but I can’t if my voice is diluted in the community.”

The rainy season has officially started in my neighborhood. 😉

He was so brave. R.I.P.

Nepal's spring climbing season death toll reaches five, with three fatalities recorded on Mt. Everest and one each on Makalu and Makalu II, as a record number of climbers attempt to summit the world's highest peaks. thehimalayantimes.com/nepal/d...

Good grief! Memorial Drive in Cambridge MA. I’m very familiar with that area. What is this world coming to?

A year ago today I left Bali to travel overland to Leeds in the UK and I’ve finally gotten around to writing about the trip, starting with, well, day 1. www.travelfish.org/couchfish/ne...

Classy Donald, making a national monument look like a suburban toilet.

Here we go again. Because I know he’s not smart enough to shut his mouth and spend quiet time with his grandchildren as he had promised. Grifters gotta grift. Schemers gotta scheme.

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Yeah! We’re finally getting some rain over here!

The Clinton-era “Roadless Area Conservation Rule” prevents road construction and timber harvesting on nearly 60 million acres of land in the U.S., including 235,000 acres of the White Mountain National Forest. The Trump administration is now moving to rescind the rule.

This is exhausting. I’m so fed up with this kind of people.

It’s Sinko de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! May the fifth (of tequila) be with you.

My Met Gala look: This year’s theme is Waiting for the Dog to Poop.

I was never intrigued by cruise ships. Less so today.

Grab Taxi in Thailand just keeps getting worse and worse. Their drivers take a ride and then within 2 minutes they cancel it. But if I cancel a car because they’re too far away or too slow arriving, Grab wants to charge me for it. They really need a serious competitor.

You think China hasn’t noticed? You think Taiwan isn’t a little bit nervous?

My next door neighbors are so kind. Always have been even before transitioning. They see me mowing and playing with the dogs as they can see over my fence. They’re so supportive of me and my transition🏳️‍⚧️, it is truly refreshing. They’re like adopted grandparents. Always putting a smile on my face.

Seriously?

He’s the only president who’s needed to take a cognitive test. And an IQ test, while he’s at it.

I watered the hell out of the garden last evening because it’s been so hot. So of course it rained last night. To all of you have been asking when we were going to get some rain - you’re welcome.

Wow Scott Jennings blows up at Adam Mockler: “Get your fucking hand out of my face” Mockler: We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters Ira that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions of dollars more in debt.

Just go to the local hardware store and ask them who bought a few cans of red spray paint last week. These are small towns. I’ll bet they’ll remember. Probably some stupid kid.

The Madison Boulder, which is the largest glacial erratic in the world, was spray-painted with graffiti by a vandal sometime between Friday and early Monday, Madison Police Chief Jimmy Hayford said Tuesday.

It’s an epidemic, the use of phone speakers in public spaces.

The Mad King is now explaining to everyone what 86 or 86’d means. No, orange face. It’s not a mob term, it’s a restaurant term. 86 it off the menu. 86 a customer who’s had enough to drink.
