BREAKING NEWS: U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham is now, at the tender age of 71, a dead. I worry for MeeMaw. She’ll be crushed when she hears 😆

#KidsSeemGreat 😭

New pejorative slang just dropped: “Hey, guys, I’m not trying to be a total Jehovah’s Witness about this, but y’all have to try this new restaurant…” “Jeez, Kevin, you’re being a real Jehovah’s Witness about this bar you ‘have’ to try. Chill out.” etc. I can see getting some mileage out of this 🤓

😂

Wait a minute! That’s, like… [calculates furiously] … a lot, I think 🤔 Granted, my last annual physical was in the mid 2010s, so maybe I’m not the right gal to ask, but is that not a curious, even suspicious, number of trips to Walter Reed for “routine” checkups?

Advocates are demanding an investigation after a U.S. Army veteran detained at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma alleged he was sexually assaulted by a detention officer.

I’m glad you guys are here on #BlueSky. I kinda don’t know what I’d do without you 🥹

You might not guess it about me (or you might), but I wasn’t just religious growing up; I was intensely, profoundly, pathologically religious. My dad is a decades-tenured #Presbyterian deacon & my mom was the church secretary (librarian, basically) & we’re all founding members of a TX Pres church 😅

Huh! 🤯 I grew up in The Woodlands, TX where the demographics could charitably be described as “aggressively white,” but I had Black friends through choir, band and our AP classes that I knew well enough to have over. I wonder if the Cook House got vetted like this, and how we might have fared 🤔

Oh, shit, what have we done now 😰

Bowie won’t let us get a dog 😭 #CatSky #DogSky

How many DMs/chats do you reckon I ACTUALLY have? 😑 #BlueSky

Look who I ran intooooo 🥰 It’s Mike and #ShowTheDog, returning from a very profitable trip to Higher Leaf in Bellevue (our shared favorite local weed shop) with infused prerolls for Mike and some foofy, soy-ass vegan-dog-treat they keep on hand there for Show that she always devours. #DogSky #dog

Even the slightest resistance or delay in “allowing” lawful inspections or oversight is infuriating & unthinkable to me. For every day we let these #fascist idiots falsely perceive they’re winning or getting away with #fascism, know it will take ~10 of diligent #antifa unfucking to fix. #ICE #PNW

Wait, so let me see if I understand this whole #MMA thing: It’s basically BattleBots, just with bigoted, ‘roided-up, alt-right men in place of the robots? 🤔

You know, when you think about it “a single, giant pearl” is a terrible thing to make gates out of. Are we totally sure this God guy’s builder was legit? 🤔

#AI Update: Great news, guys! Political attack #adslop is really starting to look polished & campaign-ready 👌 Plus the #AIAds are testing well with Russian bots, vegetative coma patients and, this is weird, it says here “your aunt,” whatever you make of that 🤔 youtube.com/shorts/3_O3t... #fuckAI

I’m always baffled & heartbroken when “difficult” is stated as a reason someone disowned a pet. It’s incomprehensible to me. youtube.com/shorts/Ngq43... Waffles would well exceed most peoples’ thresholds for Difficult #Cat, but these videos show how easy it is to just let him be himself 🥰 #CatSky

“It’s a family-friendly sherr!” 🤣 youtube.com/shorts/rPHNH...

I don’t bother the #cats with cameras very often (they don’t much like!), but I do want you guys to see and love them, ofc So I screenshot from a couple of Private #KCookandCatsCo videos that aren’t going to be published otherwise, that y’all might share in these cute #cat moments, too 🥰 #CatSky

The shittier the hip hop is, the louder people seem to want to blast it in traffic. I think that’s curious 🤔

I just referred to TVshow Seinfeld as “[culturally] irrelevant and made by a pedophile,” which is barely true (if that) & which I don’t really believe, but it got a HUGE reaction from a guy whom I surmise is either a diehard Seinfeld fan or a diehard pedophile bc he took it *amiss* 😬 #TVSky 📺 #lol

I would characterize the aesthetic as: Derelict Grand Ole Opry Riverboat meets GenX Divorcée’s Michael’s Crafts DIY Home-Reno 🧐 It’s so clearly the product of a deranged, disordered mind, burdened with too much free time & too little taste. Gaudy. Ugly. Gross. Guys, that’s OUR building! 🤬

Important statement from the New York Times

When Show does it to me (on the rare occasions when I’m tasked with walking her), it positively melts my heart 🥰

Anyone ever try to visit the website IndieWire? UNUSABLE 😵‍💫 It nearly crashed my laptop, which heated up like a pottery kiln just trying to load an 800-word article about the Letterboxd acquisition (and the dozens of ads on the page). BOO I HATE THE INTERNET NOW. IT’S SO BAD! 👎 #enshittification

“Operation Bitch Slap” 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑 😑🤬

Oh nooooooooo!! Do be careful. This is so cute it physically hurt 🤕

#StarWars and #IndianaJones fans (especially #Angelenos) will prob want to read this #ReelRank article about the #LA Lucas Museum of Narrative Art detailing who is going to see it for free before it opens to the public Sept 22: blog.reelrank.net/more-reason-... #FilmSky 🎥 #MovieSky 🎞️ #Film

It’s a bit on the take-my-wife side, but I gotta begrudgingly give it up. This joke made me chuckle 😆

So, do we think Kash Patel is fired Monday? 🤔 I hope this isn’t BlueSky-verboten or TOS-violating, but Patel strikes me as the sort of histrionic, narcissistic, frantic, crazy-ex-gf coded dude that might dramatically take his own life at his desk, rather than be fired. He gives Vengeful Suicide 😬

… no kids here, just cats, but still plenty of reason to live, thankfully 😅

ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.

I fucking loved American History X when I was an edgy 15yo working my 1st real job at Blockbuster (had to wheedle them into hiring me, too, bc I was young), but then I’ve never gone back and watched it even 1x since I’m a bit scared to. It’ll be a Catcher in the Rye sitch, I just know 😬 #FilmSky 🎥

Have you guys heard about this San Francisco woman, Lisa Catalano, who put up billboards with a web address soliciting marriage proposals? 😳 www.marrylisa.com

Kash Patel got grounded and couldn’t go watch his girlfriend play the Windy City Smokeout 🤣 “Sorry, Alexis. My dad’s being a dick, and I can’t have the plane.” It’s a good thing he’s absolutely immune to feeling shame, bc if he weren’t, this would probably kill him dead 💀 #MAGA #FBI #KashPatel

I want y’all to know that I have dedicated myself to the craft and profession of making custom shoes for American Girl dolls 😤 Also: I think you should never have to do things that don’t have sparks in them 🤷‍♀️

I thought of another one: music.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR-3... This #song is arguably a sex crime (“I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind” wut police), but I would never not crank it & listen to it through to the end, despite the REPREHENSIBLE lyrics & messaging. Such a bop 🤘 #SongSky

Fun ponder: What’s the combination of most-reprehensible message/content of #song that you also still unreservedly love? 🤔 I’ll go first: Easy by Lionel Ritchie and The Commodores & Ramblin’ Man by The Allman Bros. Band Hon mention: Brandy by Looking Glass #MusicSky #SongSky #nostalgia

Every time some 🚙 at a crosswalk inches towards me 🚶‍♀️ing like a runner leading off first base, I think about doing one of those insurance-scam moves where I hurl myself at the hood of their car as hard as I can, then scream-flop off of it like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Betcha they’d think twice then 😤

Holy shit, you guys, I fucked up LIKE AN IDIOT at Jimmy John’s (blessedly, I am in a great mood & in no hurry, so I was v chill & amiable re: the miscommunications) & it was my fault a Deal/Rewards free sandwich comp wasn’t working, but the manager just comped it anyway to be cool 🥹 #PNW #fastfood

I’ve been interacting very pleasantly & collegially with one of the security guards here at The Marketplace in #Factoria for months now, but today he caught me on the bench before his shift started, so we chatted. His name is Tony. 1st thing he wanted to know about me: do I believe in God? 😅 #PNW

If you have an #AI or #LLM generated image as pfp, when I see it, I immediately think so poorly of you. How could I not?? I’m like as not to just mute you, but when I think “well, maybe you’re not that bad…” and don’t, I always think SO much less of all your posts/content. Off the rip 😤 #fuckAI

Gee, #Google, I sure make my bday unsearchable on porpoise 🐬 (which you well know, since I had to change settings to do it), but thanks for reminding me that you’re always stalking me, there’s no hiding from you & you could expose everything in the world I want kept private at a moment’s notice 😑

I tell you what, that's a great fn question 😂 2 🤔s: 1. Obi-Wan could've been speaking literally & prophetically: "You'll [Luke] never find..." 2. It was written 1st, long before anyone knew anything re: how wretched the hives of scum & villainy in Kenobi's past were. #FilmSky 📽️ #StarWars #Reddit

Pft. I wish 😆 Libraries are great, but they’re not gay-bathhouse great. … yet 🤔 Adult Libraries. Are these not a thing? I’m brainstorming aloud in real time here, but I feel like I might have something. 🍆🍑📖

Oh, shit, I’d forgotten, but @ms.now reporting just reminded me: For months before this hospitalization and probable-vegetating, Mitch McConnell was increasingly prone to freezing spells, cognitively-distressed little beats where the neural mechanisms failed to fire properly & the 🤖 just shut down.

Smart as hell, I think. It doesn’t feel safe for other people to me from here inside it, either 🙂‍↔️ Keep declining those invites, I say. That’s also, in the aggregate, another signal with more data we can point to afterwards in terms of just how unpopular, detrimental & self-destructive Trump was

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.
