Peace on Earth

Attending the Odd Fellows Arthritis Charity Ball tonight, with Congressman Jim McGovern. I'm proud to be one of his constituents.

Fill your hand you son-of-a-bitch!

I want to sincerely thank everyone who expressed condolences to me and my family on our dog Nina's passing. It's not easy to lose an old friend that we shared a big portion of our lives with, but it's comforting to know that you have friends who care and understand. Thank you to all.

In order for America to actually heal its divisions, we need to reckon with its two original sins: the genocide of Native Americans by the initial government structures during and after the Revolution, and the deliberate sabotage of Reconstruction by the racist remnants of the South.

I might look like Robert Ford, but I feel just like Jesse James.

We lost our dog today. Nina had advanced lymphoma. She was a good girl.

Lock the doors! Tonight a rare delicacy: liver and onions!

I blame Joe Biden. youtu.be/wbsEZzgCwmI?...

Jeb Bush's old campaign mgr, @timmiller.bsky.social, on one of his myriad YT vids, hosting James Carville who hasn't won since Clinton in `92 telling Dems how to win elections. Does anyone take these two seriously? Interesting times indeed. www.alternet.org/democratic-p...

Don't forget to listen to Alice's Restaurant today. Obligatory listening on Thanksgiving. youtube.com/shorts/o_EX1...

Every day there's some crazy shit going on and we seem to be in this vortex right now where every day is crazier than the last.

A suave and sophisticated international bon vivant.

Senators Warren and Markey -- will you be calling for a change in Senate Democratic leadership? Aren't you ashamed to even call yourself a Democrat today? My vote anxiously awaits your response. @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov

She voted for that leadership and she voted for Marco Rubio. It's past time for @warren.senate.gov to retire. @pressley.house.gov is ready to take that seat and has my vote.

So, @hcrichardson.bsky.social , still think Schumer's a genius? Hmmm?

Senate Democrats who think we'll just forget about them sacrificing American lives for the sake of decorum with tyrants... the thing is, nobody is going to forget going bankrupt or watching loved ones die of preventable illnesses without ACA and it will only get worse.

$8.75 for a water? Should have just waited for it to come on Tubi. It's worth it, I'm with my little girl, who says it's boomer to swipe text. Sacrifices have to be made.

Going to see Nuremberg tonight with middle daughter. Very much looking forward to it.

Women should have jobs, but Ross Douthat shouldn’t.

Did I read that right? Nancy Pelosi has announced that she will retire at the end of her term?

Well, thoughts and prayers to the Cheney family on the passing of their patriarch. Of course I'm an atheist and I have other things to think about today, so . . .

So who's the new Duke of York? I'll take it if nobody else wants to do it.

Heard a big crash during the night. One of the big willow trees came down in my yard. This is a before and after. No damage, except for a dent in the top of my Temu grill.

Should I be investing in Argentinian pesos? I mean if Scott Bessent thinks it's a good idea . . .

I always love a rainbow.

www.bbc.com/news/live/c2... That didn't last long, huh?

I got to spend a few hours at the Gettysburg battlefield yesterday. Me at one of my favorite monuments, Cowan's battery, Double Cannister At Ten Yards. Near the High Water Mark.

So I come out of the grocery store this morning and there's this guy at a table asking folks to sign a petition to lower the MA tax rate from 5% to 4%. So I ask him, "who's financing you?" I got a non-answer, just giving me the name of his org. and how they want to lower taxes.

the party with the power to post petty messages across all government agencies would have to be the ones with the power to have avoided the shut down in the first place.

White folks, if you think this government would never turn the military against you, think again—Sincerely Black people.

So I got this picture of Ramone surfing at the local reservoir.

Yeah, you can say it's cute and stuff and all that, but they argue and will start in with each other without warning and they'll act like "It's not me. I didn't do shit."

I finally pulled the trigger on a personalized stationery wardrobe. In a week or so, I'll be ready to write some letters and send some cards.

Meet the new boss; same as the old boss. Hey, that could be a song . . .

Has anyone noticed any rapturing yet?

To Disney, ABC, ESPN, etc.: Fuck you.

She's awfully cute sleeping there beside me, but she's farting like a trucker.

What's worse than a wet dog? Nothing.

And isn't it funny how Guiliani has been kicked out of the family, how do you get kicked out of the family? He did. He got a little howdy do the other day too in NH. Car crash, yeah, that what it was. Yeah.

Is Trump a boss? Or is he just an underboss? Or is he just a street boss? If he is the boss, who's the underboss?

Boston, from the Faulkner Hospital

Sitting in the emergency room with Mrs P and her broken finger at 1:20 AM was not on the dance card for tonight.

waiting for the New York Times to notice that Trump is old and unhealthy approximately six months after his funeral

Two old friends on a Sunday afternoon.

@piegoblin.bsky.social Happy Birthday! These are the good years. Enjoy every second! 🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂

Note to self: Take the Zoloft BEFORE going to the grocery store.

With Congress abdicating any role in government and with SCOTUS a tool of the right wing, there is an increasing amount of power just laying in the street. But the Dems are afraid to go and pick it up. Mamdani picked it and ran with it.

@meghancolleen.bsky.social Happy Birthday!!! May time bring you nothing but joy. 🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂 And say hey to Dolly for me. 😉

Sunday night blues . . . youtu.be/gGQORGPIXWs?...
