Blue Dot in a Red State

Watching the SC Senate Debate. Every answer from Lady Graham Lite: “I come from humble beginnings, and my parents died at an early age, so I know what it’s like.” Literally. Every. Question.

Stop trying to make Lake America happen!

I don’t know what it is about the heat that makes people think they can just treat people like shit, but I’m getting tired of being yelled at by people I’m here to help.

Thanks to him, I was more excited about Taylor Swift’s wedding than I was about July 4. I was more sad than anything, wondering how much better off we would be if Fred had just pulled out.

If that frail, feeble, elderly man wants to put on a suit and tie and go stand on a stage under hot lights in 107 degree weather for two hours and then inhale a bunch of fireworks smoke, then I’m here for it.

I just started re-watching Ted Lasso in preparation for Season 4. I’m just gonna throw it out there that I hope the girl Ted always plays football with in the street ends up on the team he’s coaching. Or another team. Or coach.

I was in Hungary ten years ago, and the Hungarian people deserved so much more than their government. That ends today. Okay, US…we’ve got work to do in our own house. Maybe we could learn something here about how to fight.

#Instacart might let you choose your bananas, but their shoppers are world champions at picking milk, eggs, and meat that expire in two days.

So now we’re attacking….Equador? We can afford all these wars all at once? We don’t have healthcare.

I am so sure that there are 16k people watching the SOTU address. At 1:37 in the afternoon. The vote must be out in full force today.

Spoiler alert: Bad Bunny wins the Superbowl

I have zero interest in watching the Super Bowl. Not for the game, the commercials, or the halftime show. Not just this year - any year. But I’ll be watching for the Half Time show. My way of telling Mango Mussolini to go to Hell…and soon.

Current weather situation: kind of like a tropical storm but with snow/ice/sleet.

DOJ deleted this file after posting it. Save it while you can.

Taking a mental health break from the news to post a picture of my project. My good friend (who is a veterinarian) says this looks like a cow kidney. 😂 (it’s an Old World Santa).

He’s going to say that he stopped another war between the US and Greenland. So that’s like the elevendyth war he’s stopped.

In Minneapolis a young child is asking where his mother is and someone has to tell that child that DT’s ICE agent killed her. This is what I woke up thinking about.

New year, new project. I waited until today to start it because I didn’t want to carry over anything from 2025. I’m teaching my cat Wednesday how I like to grid.

Watching It’s a Wonderful Life. Old Man Potter really was a crotchety old fuck. An real estate opportunist with no humanity. Reminds me of someone.

They’re calling it the Festivus Speech™️ because it was just 15 minutes worth of airing of grievances

It’s very silly, but today I conquered my fear of making brown butter. Now I want to make it all the time 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aside from getting my hair cut, buying some cheese, milk, and soda, and treating myself to a birthday lunch, I spent nothing on Black Friday. I told everyone not to buy me anything and not to expect any gifts from me this year.

Short Term Rental Property Manager Life: I got an emergency page because someone hit a hawk with their car and it was in the road.

My Covid shot, which has always been free, is now $190. Agent Orange is trying to save me money by killing me - because you can’t spend money if you’re dead. #fucktrump

Good night, everyone. Except you, Schumer. Imma do you a solid and sleep on my stomach to make it easier for you to kiss my ass.

Fire Chuck Schumer!!!!

Chuck Schumer is weak. I’m so glad we had the upper hand and shut the government down for over a month so we could get nothing. A vote in December? Give me a break. I’ve seen this movie before.

Baking bread in a cast iron Dutch oven is slightly terrifying. IYKYK

He’s floating the possibility of a “tariff rebate,” but what he’s actually doing is a set up for when the Supreme Court rules that the tariffs are illegal, and he needs to return the money. It’s to make himself look like a hero when he actually just loses in court.

I’ve looked all over, but I can’t find the part of the Bible where Jesus said starve the poor people. Must be my copy. Maybe its in the copy that he was peddling.

I remember when DOGE defunded USAID and it destroyed 500 tons of food rather than feed the hungry, and his supporters didn’t bat an eye. Now many of them are not getting SNAP benefits. So I guess it was fine, as long as someone else was hungry.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead

I’ll miss 20/20 on Hulu, but I’ll miss freedom of speech more. Bye, Hulu.

Sometimes I think I could live happily in the UK until I realize I would for sure have to learn the metric system. And I’m like, hmmmm, maybe it would be harder than I think 🥸

The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

I’m so fucking sick of Taco Turd.

The acting head of FEMA, a Trump appointee, told staff today he didn’t know the U.S. has a hurricane season. FEMA is dangerously unprepared this year.

Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.

Trump does care about the pain, chaos, and turmoil he’s causing—in the following sense: He loves it. It makes him feel powerful.

Well, since he is trying to end birthright citizenship, you couldn’t rely on a birth certificate. A passport requires a birth certificate, so I guess that would be void also. Will everyone need to present immigration/naturalization papers from their ancestors? Or just the brown people?
