It's terrible when you're part of a mixed marriage. I think Jethro Tull is amazing. My husband thinks Tull is ear rape.

So I hear ICE is hiring people to check out social media to look for people they should raid as potential illegals. Hey, ICE! Here's some music in (OMG!) Spanish! Clutch those pearls & have some Bad Bunny! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU5V...

And congratulations to Stephen King! PEN America has announced he's the most banned author in America's public schools now. If the book-banners hate you, you're doing it right. apnews.com/article/step...

I would pay big money to see the drill sergeant from "Full Metal Jacket" run Hegseth through PT for a few hours. Extra if it were actually on Parris Island in high Summer. My daddy was a Marine. Hegseth is drunken fascist. Also, when I see him, I smell Axe Body Spray.

Chronic illness means always having to say you're sorry. Someone explain to the dog there will be no walk today. Also, tell my husband that the dishes are staying dirty & so am I. Going to bed. Lupus blows.

Even Germany gets it. So Funny.

I don't have to say someone was a "nice person" just because they're dead. They couldn't make me say it about Nixon or Thatcher; I'm certainly not going to say it now.

Have a laugh. Enjoy Dan Rodriguez & "The Douchebag Song" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa5f...

It's funny the victims the media thinks it's ok to hear from right now. 10 yr. old survivor of a school shooting that happened moments ago? Stick a camera in his face! Adult survivor of sexual abuse by Epstein? Ooooohhh! That might be offensive to some people!

I need some advice regarding tactical sandwiches.

If Trump reacts this badly to a jobs report, imagine what he'd do if his doctors started telling him (and all of us) just how awful his health is.

I finally started watching Apple TV's "The Buccaneers," & I just know the writers will wake one night with Edith Wharton's skeletal fingers choking the life out of them for what they've done to her unfinished novel.

My brother, Paul, beat addiction, but was given oxycontin after being assured it wasn't addictive. Tomorrow, it will be ten years since he took a "hot shot," went into a coma, & died. This is for him: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Z4...

I'm late to this party, but if you like your entertainment soapy/sexy & over-the-top melodramatic, The Cook of Castamar makes Bridgerton & Downton Abbey seem tame. Spanish w/ subtitles. More fun in Spanish, but still a great break from reality. Evil, evil bad guy. www.imdb.com/es/title/tt1...

Does anything strike the same weird mix of emotions as the invitation to your high school reunion?

Well, if ICE is detaining people based on hunches, I'll blast music in Spanish from my vehicle as I drive through town (where they snatched 4 people they claim are from Guatamala yesterday). Here's Los Illegales from the early 2000's. Lo siento. Soy vieja. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TANW...

I can't find verification for this local news story regarding the flooding in Kerr County. It suggests that the NWS sent warnings several hours BEFORE local authorities acted on them. Sounds like the local authorities dropped the ball. www.kxan.com/investigatio...

Thinking of the hill country (Kerr County) and hoping people get the help they need. This is tragic. www.huffpost.com/entry/ap-us-...

I need someone whose Spanish is a lot better than mine to help me learn some new curse words. I've been reading the political news way too much, & I'm running out of ways to scare the dog.

If you need a break from reality, may I suggest "The Lady's Companion" on Netflix? It's kind of a Bridgerton parody or maybe if Jane Austen had been Spanish. It's got subtitles (I speak Spanish); I know subtitles annoy some people. Very, very funny. www.imdb.com/title/tt3109...

19 years ago, friends & family took a ferry to Grindstone Island to celebrate w/ us as we married. I bet at least half of them said, "It will never last."

Another thing that hasn't made US media yet is that there were some instances of people driving their cars into protesters at No Kings events yesterday. Funny how that isn't being covered here. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Some things aren't being covered in US media. There were additional threats against lawmakers during the No Kings rallies yesterday. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sen. John Fetterman reminds me of when I used watch The Price is Right as a kid & someone would get the booby prize--so much hope, only to find out that behind the curtain there was just a year's supply of SPAM.

This song seems especially relevant this morning. "Migra"--Santana & Mana (sorry, left the accent off). www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFDP...

I know w/ everything political going on this may seem unimportant, but the damn ticks are awake & hungry here in Northern NY. Protect yourself & your pets. Tick borne diseases kill.

That gender-swapped remake of "Mean Girls" is weird. I'm not sure which guy is supposed to be Regina. Is it the orange one?

I'm way more likely to get upset with you over who you hate than over who you love. I don't care if you want to sleep w/ men, women, both.... But if you want to hate on others due to sexual preference, gender, race, etc... well, we're going to have a problem.

I like some of my music loud. And kind of old. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsjd...

Once again the dog is looking at me w/ concern because I've been skimming the headlines & muttering "you motherfuckers."

Children in some foster homes had so little access to personal care items that when asked what he wanted for Christmas, one 15-year-old only asked for his own deodorant.

I would much rather listen to Springsteen than to anything that orange POS might have to say. Here's some Thunder Road. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2X0...

Today's mood....

I'm going to watch the fuck out of this. Dying of anticipation... tv.apple.com/us/show/murd...

Y'know, if you're going to bitch about the way Starbucks treats everyone from the people who grow the coffee to the poor schmucks who work in the stores, you could at least leave the comments on so I can rant about how awful their overpriced burnt brown shit-water tastes, dammit!

I don't know about you, but I think things have been going just great ever since we made orange Joffrey Baratheon our king & he appointed Ketamine Littlefinger as Hand. On an unrelated subject, I'm in the market for some stone dragon eggs.

I was feeding the crows before it was cool. P.S. Goth Disney Princess = Wicked Witch, you pick me, annoying, bitches. P.P.S. You totally don't "get" Wicked. Read the fucking book. They really should never put me on steroids.

Small businesses are the backbone of the North Country. A trade war with Canada will hurt business and drive up costs. We need fair trade agreements, not political stunts. www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/5...

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

We may not be seeing much of this on our network news here in the USA, but it is going out worldwide. Millions of Americans are protesting! Huge turnout across the nation. I’m glad the world gets to see us standing up.

A second child has died of measles in Texas. This is the third person to die from measles in this outbreak. Unbelievably, RFK Jr., who has taken no meaningful action to stop this outbreak, plans to attend the funeral. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

From Portsmouth NH. Estimated crowd size over 3,000 people.

With the huge losses to Tesla & Truth Social stock, how will good MAGAs afford to tithe to their mega-churches?

Hey, Democrats in Congress! Try skipping the Diazepam or whatever for a day to see how you should be reacting to what's going on!
