My Youtube algorithm hates me so all I've been getting lately are window-smashing traffic stops and airport drunks. Here's what I learned: People of the world - you're morons. Airports of the world - stop selling alcohol to morons! {sigh. I think my algorithm is gate-keeping Pedro Pascal from me.}

The best thing about mail-in voting is when people call with "I'd like to tell you about [insert candidate/ballot proposition]" and I can cut them right off with "Sorry, I've already voted." Took the week-end, did my research, filled out the ballot. Dropped it off yesterday at the library. Done.👍🏻

How long does it take, realistically, for a new word to become accepted as just a normal part of English? "Well... he did yeet one... but in his defense, she did deserve it." (talking about farm-raised chickens) "Yeet." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Every damn time.

This is the lie Mother Nature tells us here in Southern California in September. It's cool, slightly cloudy. "Fall is here!" Uh... nope. It'll be back in the 90s in a week or so, maybe with some added Santa Ana winds. "Fire Season" we used to call it (before January 2025.) Don't let her fool you!

It is absurd how happy a little bit of rain can make me. And Max.

Byron can do doubleSpeakYappityYapLies with the best of them.

Bottom line:

They are STILL doing nothing. Just how badly are they compromised?

oh your entire industry is crumbling because of externalities outside your control? Have you thought of starting a patreon so that you have to do a bunch of extra work on top of that?

Yes. Thank you, President Biden.

Max is now a Cat Detective. (I was RIGHT to let him watch that movie!) We have a leak in the condensate line. Easy-ish fix but there's quite a bit of water in there. He heard the dripping, I didn't. (We were just hoping he wasn't hanging around because there was an animal in there so... bonus!)

It's all in your perspective.

Street corn! I'm obsessed with the corn at Brick & Flour in Glendale. I think it's close. I just can't get the queso fresco to stick to the mayo. It's the "crumbling cheese" but... I'm forced to eat standing at the counter, piling the cheese back on as it falls. And I'm okay with that. Yum!!!!!

Absolutely agree!

My rental car has a weird key. That also doubles as a defensive weapon. Thank you KIA!

Okay.

Competence and knowledge can still be celebrated.

The knowledge of how many innocents’ deaths he is directly responsible for is clearly tormenting Musk psychologically, and I think he should be confronted with it roothlessly at every opportunity until he has a psychological break like the guy in The Tell-Tale Heart.

I think I've found some of Europe's cooler air. It's been hanging around Southern California the last week or so. July 1st and we've still got "June Gloom." Not complaining, mind you! Not in a hurry to send it home. Just... making it feel welcome.

If only the Tsar knew what his wicked advisors are up to, part 879.

United by their love of country (and hatred of the Trump crime facility trying to steal their birthright)

Happy Caturday to all who celebrate.

Those damned invaders are finally gone! Max's home is once again his castle. (And I have some atoning to do. It will, I suspect, involve treats.)

Max is VERY engaged in "The Mandalorian." We're getting caught up for the movie. (I haven't told him he won't be allowed to go. sshhhh!)

Yep.

"Yeah... sure. Caturday. Whatever! Could ya get the f'in light out my f'in face? A guy needs to sleep in!"

murdering thug!!

I know what "86" means.

We could ALL use a break.

I could solve this whole California drought thing. Just pay me to paint my courtyard and the rains will come! I've tried several times. We had zero rain all March. Yesterday was beautiful and sunny, forecast some clouds but no rain. Still, I only painted a small patch. A test. Fate said "Hah!"

This dude has been watching me all morning. High and mighty little fucker!

Not to brag but this was my sign at the first #NoKings march

Can we officially re-name the Republican party "The Do-Nothing Party" or is that already taken... like... forever?

Who do you think these folks will be voting for in the primary? Sincerely wondering!

I'll be at a No Kings protest rally in Riverside, CA this coming Saturday. I'll be meeting my niece and her daughter (if she can get off work.) I know it seems pointless sometimes, but it's something I want to be part of. Which protest are you going to and who are you bringing/meeting?

234 days...... Are you all ready? Democrats are trouncing Republicans in state elections since Trump took office - POLITICO share.google/LuahtzVo1UYK...

Russia is giving intelligence to Iran, to help it target Americans in the Middle East. And President Donald J. Trump is rewarding Russia by easing restrictions on the sale of its oil. Is this not "giving aid and comfort to the enemy"? IS THIS NOT THE VERY DEFINITION OF TREASON?

Everywhere I go today on this Day of the Great Leap Forward I expect to hear "Congratulations!' and "You did it!" and "Wow! You're not an hour late!" Because, yes, last night before I went to bed I set all the clocks ahead approximately one hour. I expect big props for that.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

it is best to find out early who can and cannot be counted upon when the robot uprising begins

He looks especially embalmed tonight.

We got snow!

Verified: 💯 true!

Amen!
