Re-watching #Succession and hot damn it holds up
It's SePteMbEr, Muse!!
Made cornbread muffins with Hatch chili flakes and shredded cheese They make one fine cocktail hour snarf
Weirdly, his refusal to divorce his wife may have given the relationship with Kate a latitude it wouldn't have had if they'd married #TCMParty
My mother was considered an older bride at 24 during this period
I just want to scream at Tess during the closing sequence: "He's not worth denying your entire existence for!" #TCMParty
Love how absolutely steam punk this set is #TCMParty #DeskSet
Plus there is zero winking at the idea of a 50 year old having romances #TCMParty #DeskSet
You can watch #DeskSet strictly for the art direction and costumes imo #TCMParty

Trump leaves the White House this morning (Andrew Caballero/Getty)
It took forever just to figure out whether it was transmitted by contact or air (and could have been either as well)
Any idea why he hasn't excoriated Judge Sooknanan yet, sir? Seems an odd omission
Good point; his topics (incl that one about Pfizer this a.m.) seem oddly chosen during this Weird Long Weekend (The tell-all's gonna be LIT)
Them being able to manage his info implies he doesn't have physical access to the phone; otherwise he'd see the Sooknanan news and react (Boy, we're fully in Kremlinology Mode now aren't we)
Or whether someone is continuing to mimic his voice Or whether someone is taking dictation (Seemed odd yesterday that he issued no screed castigating Judge Sooknanan who foiled sending defenseless children to Guatemala)
Delightful to have a plausible, romantically involved woman of 50 during that era And, yes, I want those clothes
WILLFUL ignorance - the worst kind
I've seen a local Cooper's Hawk and boy howdy you do not want to piss one of them off (Our year-rounders include Cardinals, Blue Jays, chickadees and squirrels. Always squirrels.)
And he's not So let's draw some logical conclusions from that
Saw my first molting Blue Jay a couple weeks ago and kinda freaked out Then I learned they do that on the regs So then I'm like, You Molt, Dude!
Going to bed early…
Downtown Chicago is really hopping tonight. Restaurants are full. Lots of people on the sidewalks. Thousands enjoying free music at Jazz Fest.
I'll take the one who bicycled and kept his weight down and ate right, Alex
The one today featured Gruden wearing the same outfit he wore golfing at Dear Leader's VA golf course... Aug 23 Maybe he just really likes that polo shirt..?
Your memories are a blessing!
Sus as hell - great catch, Nick
Thanks, Lynne! Just ordered mine 👍
Assuming I last until New Year's, I will have clocked both my mom and my brother 😬
His absence is indeed a delight! We're just wondering about his health right now
Love the NOTHING TO SEE HERE tone 😂
Un-authorized photos taken with telephoto's always surface And in the one photo posted today, John Gruden wears the same outfit he wore to golf Dear Leader's VA course on ... Aug 23 😜
I think they used a previously-unpublished pic because the image was not found using image search So at least they thought that far ahead But you're right: pretty easy to suss out So why do it? (And his TruthS posts could obv be written by anyone)
Did Trump post a week-old golfing pic as if it were today? That would really thicken the plot, huh?
This photo (which appears, from image search archives, to have been taken today) shows Dear Leader sitting, wearing gloves, his ankles obscured He's aware of the rumors; have not seen any other pictures 🤔
Remember sleeping on the floor one time in my 20s Now I need my comfy bed, multiple pillows, duvet, an eye mask, sound soother, and a very narrow temp range
Esp at night for good sleeps, right??
every day i see hundreds of comments of people spinning elaborate scenarios to explain how trump can control everything and all opposition is futile. a) i think a lot of you need to log off and stop following professional doomsayers. b) i think a lot of you are cowards
If Dear Leader were healthy, we'd have had metric TONS of video shoved at us of him being up-and-active this weekend Instead, one blurry pre-golf photo and 🦗🦗🦗 ??
😅
Only every fourth or fifth house here, so NH wins there 🏅 Swale parker was in town however, as is common here
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
Moved to out-state Minnesota and I was surprised by that too Saw a vehicle parked on the slope of a swale the other day and thought "Really??"
We sustain one another during a very dark year #TCMParty
Buddha supposedly thought the theism / atheism debate was boring and irrelevant I find that inspiring #DeepThought
T2 damage remediation: The popcorn ceiling removal project of the late 2020s
Agree The romances exoticize them Spoiler: the Amish aren't sexier or more interesting than... Episcopalians Presbos 7th Day Dudes
Amish romances have had a long run Next: Amish organized crime money-laundering thrillers
Yes, they usually paid cash (often HUGE amts)
Best Habitat ReStore volunteer memory: They were ULTRA anal about checks But when an Amish customer had only his fishing license for ID, it was approved
Can't help but wonder: Don't we usually see boring pics / vid of Dear Leader steering his golf cart over the greens when he golfs?
The Trump is dead meme has broken containment This is not a drill

Normally they've booked 40% of their fall soybean sales to China at this point. This year, they are at 0% booked, and no, that's not a typo. www.farmprogress.com/soybean/us-s...

Never enjoy living on a conservation lake more than on a holiday weekend
Bet you could sell zip-loc bags to fairgoers wishing they'd remembered to bring a couple
He's been photographed by the press pool leaving to golf this morning
Stand down, soldier I've seen a credible report that Dear Leader has been sighted at a golf course this morning
"This was a TEST of the Emergency Celebration System (ECS) "Had this been a real Celebration, you would have been instructed to deploy your emergency intoxicant. No action is required by the public at this time."
Trump was spotted this morning in a white polo, MAGA hat and black pants as he heads to a golf course in Virginia, per pool
I'm not counting on anything this weekend, but an extended serious illness in that state at that age does not bode well
trumpwatch is the bluesky version of buying a powerball ticket. It's not about the odds, it's about the dream
Thought having a glass of wine or two with lunch was SO sophisticated while on vaca in Europe But it just blurred out the rest of my day
We would very much like to host you here in Minnesota, friend
We never are, but always To be blest Hope springs eternal...
Keep going and you'll be ONE OF US #Minnesota www.simplyrecipes.com/tater-tot-ho...
"I wasn't ordering them for you "I was ordering them to directly cool my heat-generating servers through evaporative cooling and water chillers, and indirectly via electricity generation to power their operations. My servers produce a lot of heat that needs to be dissipated."
My very-serious-gardener mom called them "Rats with hooves"
Humble brag: I now live a 5 min drive to Costco and it's divine

My fave anecdote: "So I walked into the dentist this morning. He asked me how my weekend was. I said “Good, I watched Captain America last night. I really liked it.” "And my dentist says “Oh, my son is in that movie.” "Dr. Robert Evans "My dentist is Captain America’s dad."
🤣
This is logically true, but the narcissistic wound would still be epic

The Hunt for Lost Elastic
Agree
"There is a pervasive suspicion among A.I. skeptics (many of whom were and are also crypto skeptics) that the A.I. boom is a redux of the crypto boom--which is to say, effectively, a grift forced on consumers and abetted by unwitting journalists and other eager marks."
The "agent" promise was badly over-blown
It is indeed occasional and I understand I love it because it turns out dishes I previously struggled to cook consistently (briskets, steaks, chops) perfectly every time
Even easier with sous vide (which many steakhouses use) 😂
is that good
Their editorial / casting staff are consistently choosing those who have none "Hey, you look shameless - wanna audition?"
He never had the patience or attention span for something that would take years to organize and stand up And his narcissism has (thankfully) prevented him from grooming a successor So we got that goin' for us
Despite most police forces being riddled with MAGA, T2 has demonstrated even fewer organizational chops than T1 And that gives me hopium
I never want to have an AI that generates posts for me, but I wouldn't mind a button that automatically replies to my own flops with this
