Apparently, they freak out all the local dogs. They're so real they snarl and bark at them.

Little boxes, on the hillside Little boxes made of ticky-tacky…
If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.
It’s the little things.

They’re back! ILLUMINATED!
Aaaaaand this pretty much tells you all you need to know about the current madness we call politics these days. www.cnn.com/2025/09/15/p...

Yeah, I noticed that. Then again, it could be behind glass somewhere.
Real America will have. Fake America, MAGA America, will be using this as an excuse to exact revenge for years.
I love this. Where is it?
Important reminder
Spotted elsewhere on the Internet: “If Charlie Kirk had been a first grade kid, America would have moved on by now.”
I was on a long drive today. I have to say, I was dismayed at how many flags I saw at half-mast. But there were a few that weren't, flown by people with backbone, people who love America more than Trump.

Brewers magic number for making the playoffs is down to 1. And it’s ten to win the Central outright.

If Trump really sees Kirk's death as the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, we could be in for a world of hurt.

Hey @newsweek.com. Did you folks actually try to pass this off as serious journalism, or were you hacked? www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk...

I didn’t want to see Charlie Kirk dead. I wanted to see him repent for 40 days and 40 nights in sackcloth and ashes for every, single, one of his dumbass statements. Meanwhile, I don’t dance on graves. Everything CK did must be undone for the good of all, and that is a life truly wasted.
Just saw that today marks 24 years of Foamy the Squirril!
Ebony and Ivory?
Cryptozoological erotica? Come on, that’s not a thing.
As a novelist myself, I’ve always wanted to ask Billy Joel one thing: What the hell is a “real estate novelist?”
Well, if this triggers NATO defenses, and Trump doesn’t respond… www.cnn.com/2025/09/09/e...
I agree, I was harsh in my comment. But read what I said again. I was not attacking the news source itself. In fact, I follow that person now. I was attacking the notion that social media is reliable. You've certainly seen fake news items masquerading as legit sources. You can keep your "protipps."
By admitting not every post is reliable, you basically just proved my point.
I know how to use social media. But others clearly don't, and that's my point. Tell the clueless masses out there to touch grass. You're preaching to the choir with me.

You first. I didn’t attack the news source itself. I attacked the notion that social media is a reliable source for news in general. And I was right. Verify! Anything seen on social media is a lead, not a news item.
That’s all we need. Drawing other nations into Israel’s war. www.bbc.com/news/live/c7...
Brewers didn’t win, but the Cubs lost. So the magic number to win the division is down to 11. Magic number to secure a playoff spot is still 3.
OBAMA: 3 TRUMP: 0 This is *really* get under Donald's thin-skin. Good. deadline.com/2025/09/pres...
Happy Star Trek Day everybody!
I’m not a horror movie person, but a horror flick based on Jesus is one I just might want to see. youtu.be/QzireEd9_qo?...
Oops. Playoff clinch is actually down to three.
I recognize street epistemology, but I’m an old hand at this game. How the news works isn’t the point. How the news SHOULD work is. Truth is all. Democracy cannot work if propaganda becomes “news.” You should know this.
I think “help” should be in quotes.
Every bar?
Can we draft her for 2028?
Brewers: Magic number to clinch playoffs: 4 Magic number to clinch Central Division Title: 12 Games remaining: 18
Packers win, Brewers sweep, good weekend.
Oh, I don’t know, like, ACTUAL NEWS SOURCES?! Like, NPR? International news? Der Spiegel? JN? Canadian news? BBC? Balance “local” news with sources outside the U.S. that have no vested interests? How about SNOPES?! How about FACT-CHECK?! Shit, dude, you win for dumbest question of the century.
Wunderbahr.
Empire Strikes Back.
This is why, if you get your news from social media, you are a FOOL.
Yeesh. www.dw.com/en/ukraine-r...
Didn’t expect tone at Milwaukee Horror Con this weekend, but I was. Surprisingly fun.
The Onion News Network truck is currently stationed outside the Broadview ICE Detention facility just outside of Chicago.
FYI, the Fantastic Four movie is GREAT!
Like we Wisconsinites have never held a grudge against Minnesota before.
Damn!
I’m pretty sure that is every cat that has ever lived.
None of these. Star Trek Prodigy!
Well dang! There’s a theater in LA named after Leonard Nimoy!
When was it in Blake’s 7?

Cary Grant in North by Northwest?
There's going to be a total lunar eclipse Sunday night! It's centered over central Asia, so the Americas won't see it. www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/luna...

Well, they wanted guns to keep America from becoming a totalitarian dictatorship, and yet they sit there, doing nothing. You see their true colors right there.

Whoa! www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
Confirmed! www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
In areas where politics isn't involved, I think you're right.
They've been out of ideas for decades.
So, Jon Del Arroz is bitching about South Park again. They must be doing something right.
Holy shit.
Was bedeutet "Labubus?"
What's COP30?
America's adult prom king and prom queen.
Wait, Talamaska? As in those villains from the Anne Rice vampire novels?

Liam NISSAN?! LOL!
A LOT could hinge on this.
That was his debut?!
Lo, and behold! I now have twice as many followers as I'm following here in the Blue Skies. Thank you! As always, I promise I will strive to provide the best possible brain-food for your precious time.
Ah, so THAT'S what happened! www.snopes.com/fact-check/v...
Every aspiring writer needs to join a critique group. And encounter one of those frustrating stories where NOTHING makes sense.
A witch who works at a Taco Bell. An “enchantralada?”
Feline paralysis.
The Void is all-consuming.
Joan Jett. She has a black heart?
New word of the day: “snackrifices.” Which is what you get when your body demands junk food. Or any food, really.
What the study said was both FOX and MSNBC leave you less informed than more neutral sources like PBS do. That study was 13 years ago. www.businessinsider.com/study-watchi...

I’d rather Nate used his brains to help defeat fascism instead of merely predicting its victory.
