‘Tis the season for midterm mailers, so pics of certain distasteful people are getting cut out & placed around our home by various family members. Whoever finds him, moves him. He started in our daughter’s room, then showed up in a terrarium, and was here for a time. I have him now. Where to next?

Took my son and daughter to see Jukebox the Ghost in Cleveland tonight. What a great show! Worth every penny.

@rubbercityresist.bsky.social Saw you out there again! Love your dedication to the cause! 💕

@rubbercityresist.bsky.social Saw you on the bridge again this afternoon! Much love! ❤️

Saw you on the bridge again today, @rubbercityresist.bsky.social! Keep it up! ✊

Today we’re headed back from our vacation to the EU. I don’t want to go home. It’s not because I don’t want to go back to work; it’s because I don’t want to go back to America….

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Happy Twin Peaks day to all who celebrate.

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out. As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class. Here's what happened:

The term “Elites” is wrong. The new term is “Predator Class”

This made me ugly cry 😭 I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another. But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔

Is anyone else having this problem?

Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

I can still remember the days when Trump was only in the Epstein files 38,000 times instead of over 1,000,000. Oh wait that was yesterday.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469. Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by. Hello?

In between all the fascism, it's also a MASSIVE crime wave.

GEORGIA — @ossoff.senate.gov : “This is a SEISMIC event. This should have people across 🇺🇸 absolutely shook. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office… this is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

Hey, @tr-illustration.bsky.social, my daughter drew this for me for my birthday. 🤩 I thought you’d like it.

Q: Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist or assassin? TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but he certainly shouldn't have been carrying a gun. I don't like that he had a gun.

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

@sarahljaffe.bsky.social Listening to this stellar book on my way to and from work every day. This morning I was wandering around our shop muttering “there’s more to life than this!” Probably listening to it during my commute isn’t the best idea. Or maybe it is…. 🤔

Have these in our basement bc you never know when you’ll need an outdated audio cable or power cord….

Remember: There's always strength in a union. Solidarity.

This is how I feel in the middle of a NE Ohio winter. And we’re not even made it to the middle of winter yet! 😭😭😭

2024-2028….

It’s winter solstice. It is my absolute favorite day of the year….

✨ Blessed Winter Solstice ✨ We honor the return of the light - a moment of renewal, reflection, and releasing what no longer serves. In this stillness, we plant new seeds and remember the inner flame that carries us through the dark. Wishing clarity, resilience, and brighter days ahead for all 🌅🕯️❄️🖤

if your country opens a department of war and closes the department of education then your country is a toilet.

Has anyone thought of giving one of these to Trump? It’d be just like his FIFA Peace Prize….

This is a screenshot from years ago. I don’t know who the OP is, so I can’t give them credit. But it seems appropriate in 2025.

But I thought Trump ended that war….
