This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up

And the Kraken take d-man Chase Reid. Noice. #seakraken #nhldraft

We start the draft with a "star" that I don't recognize (sorry). They really should say who's on stage. #nhldraft

It’s funny how all the criticisms of Democratic socialism end up sounding like endorsements

"A Big Important Art Book (Now with Women): Profiles of Unstoppable Female Artists--And Projects to Help You Become One" -Danielle Krysa #booksky #218 ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 A nice round-up of more contemporary artists and the various mediums the work in, challenges they face, and inspiration. I really enjoyed it.

Some day I hope I have as many rights as a gun in America.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBopr9jN/ The Dems who keep telling us we cannot have nice things, are going to get rolled by the Dems proving that we can.

Vote them all out.

Same. I suspect it's the heat that's slowing down me down, but it could be the books 📖

All these people mad that Socialists are winning are ignoring that adhering to Centrism is what got us where we are People want change and they're sick of watching Congresspeople turn into millionaires while they struggle to care for their families

I don't remember the genius account that posted about subbing in ripple potato chips for half the cereal, but you were so right. Delish. #ricekrispytreat

Pleased with this. The trade for Mackie Samoskevich seems like a move in the right direction, too. Big #SeaKraken day!

“The scandal of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is such a complete encapsulation—and such a perfect metaphor—of incompetence and corruption that it deserves to be both a long-remembered failure and a final straw for a restless, angry nation.“ www.americaamerica.news/p/what-does-...

Man, "It is in that 0.4% that we go to work" is a BAR

Congress cannot stand by while these powerful tech companies write the rules themselves.    We’ve seen this movie before. Lawmakers spent the last two decades playing catch-up to social media giants, and our children are now paying the price. (1/2)

Macron: Do you think we should invite him to Versailles so he can sign the deal in the palace? Aid: Don't you think he or someone around him will understand the historical parallel? Macron: Aid: Macron: Aid: yeah, lets do it.

My husband and I have agreed not to exchange shark week gifts this year. (I'll still make shark cookies, though) 🦈 🦈 🦈

Everyone's chirping today: * Spotted Towhee * Western Flycatcher * Song Sparrow * Swainson's Thrush * Hutton's Vireo * Chestnut-backed Chickadee * Dark-eyed Junco * Bewick's Wren * American Robin * Red-breasted Nuthatch * Golden-crowned Kinglet * Canada Goose

The wealthiest one percent are now responsible for more deaths than all geological hazards combined...

Espn's spinning center ice camera is in a race with the black streaks on the puck for worst effect to try during a playoff game. Thanks, I hate it. I hate it all.

Dined al fresco today & Merlin says we were serenaded by: * Chestnut-backed Chickadee * Black-headed Grosbeak * Spotted Towhee * American Robin * Swainson's Thrush * American Crow * Song Sparrow * Red-winged Blackbird * Killdeer * Red-breasted Nuthatch 10 is a new record (for me)!

"The Thursday Murder Club" -Richard Osman #Booksky #212 ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 A rich, British elder living community is a hotbed of unsolved crime & crime solvers. Very droll, with a current of the truths of aging & starting over. I like to think this future is open to retirees. I may dip into more in this series.

Spirits are high, y'all. ❤️

Congrats Knicks! #NBAFinals

All this money & public investment spent on FIFA makes me realize that we could fix healthcare if we prioritized it as much as sports

One of my favorite things about the last few years is watching people discover that some government programs sound completely ridiculous right up until you learn why they exist.

RIP David Hockney

Blooms and butterflies--finally got some summer vibes today #pnw

Saw a couple wearing "Talarico for Texas" t-shirts in Shelton, Washington this morning. They weren't Talafreakos, however. Missed opportunity, imho.

The orca turned around by the time we got yo the marina, but the purple martins were frolicking and singing up a storm.

Love waking up in the morning to see that the most quotidian post ever has broken containment. Now I know what it's like to be @atrupar.com. Hahahahaha

Sigh. Yes, I know what day my library adds books to the catalog, and yes, I pounce on the list. There's a reason my tbr list hasn't gone down all year despite reading like a fiend. #booksky

The only people taking homes from Americans are investors who are buying up the largest % of American homes.

hey its actually a gigantic problem that 1 of the 2 major political parties in this country are consistently claiming any election they dont win has been “stolen” or “rigged”

The world would be a better place if more people read books.

If he can nap at MSG, then he doesn't need a fucking ballroom.

Today's morning walk, according to Merlin, included chirping from: * Osprey (huzzah, they're back!) * American Crows (and they're angry about it) * Pacific Wren * Western Flycatcher * Song Sparrows * and newcomer Swainson's Thrush, though I'm not quite sure about this one

7/ Your assignment: Next time someone in your life mentions a flood, a heat wave, a wildfire — any of it — add one sentence. “You know scientists say climate change is making these at least 3x more likely now, right?” Then let it sit. That’s the whole job. #ThatsActuallyGood #ICanGetBehindThat

Tsunami threat declared following preliminary magnitude 8.2 earthquake near Mindanao, Philippines, officials say

"Dark Renaissance: The Dangerous Times and Fatal Genius of Shakespeare's Greatest Rival" -Stephen Greenblatt #booksky #202⭐⭐⭐/5 The life & times of Christopher Marlowe, his work, who may have murdered him & why. Lots of guesswork here, but it's interesting if you have a thing for Shakespearean drama

I wrote about the way that killing people seems to just be another cost of doing business, and a modest proposal for a reversal in the ways our systems of commerce, government, and law operate that just might provide an effective deterrent. www.the-reframe.com/the-cost-of-...

I stepped outside, and sorry, the plans for dinner have changed. It's still soup weather.

"it shows a script we are going to see again in 2026: viral candidate overperforms in the feed, ordinary ballot-counting reveals a different reality, and the people who conflated engagement with votes decide that there’s something suspicious about the count."

Dear NHL, this broadcast sucks. The spinning overhead shots, subtitled players, and 80s video game puck streaking are horrible. Stop it.

Espn is fucking around with the nhl broadcast, adding names on ice and a trailing graphic on the puck. But it's inconsistent, jumpy, and annoying. Knock it off.

In bloom #pnw

This is our household at the moment. Currently researching what to look for, hybrids, etc. However, we live in a rural area, and don't have a charging option at our home, so there are some things to think through.

Do not elect republicans, or as many people like to call them, out of touch assholes, to public office.

I have seen AI described as a "technology founded on a lack of consent" and it has been echoing in my head since then

During the apocalypse, the billionaires, celebrities, politicians and Royals will be safe in their bunkers. It'll be someone's job to drop live rattlesnakes down their air vents...that's where I come in.
