Did an armless ballerina die in there? Truly spooky
Giving big @jenlrossman.bsky.social energy here 🔥
Exactly what you’d expect a dead guy to do.
Probably.
I too am a sickie. I'm ashamed, but there it is.🙂
tfw when you accidentally publish the obituary prewrite early
Like all remakes, absolute shite.
these damn kids man
Fishwich! Those Portuguese got around, huh?
Why don't they do a special, one time only Peas Prize for him? He's so far gone he'll take it for real. "Sir, this was lovingly hand rendered in Dollar Store items by grateful deportees, who wanted to reflect your commitment to the common people".
Yaas!

This is a recipe used by a chef in Glasgow, but his claim to have invented the dish is strongly challenged. There's even a claim that the recipe is actually a variant of butter chicken, which actually was developed in India. By Bangladeshi migrants. So who knows.
You have to go back further. Jewish immigrants to Tudor England.
that's what distracted me!
Chicken ticket?? (Tikka) 😀 Almost up there with Butt Chicken.
9 past CDC directors condemn Kennedy's destruction of the agency. Gift link.
What a great idea. I was the brat who cut ladies out of the clothing pages of catalogs and glued them to my bedroom wall.😏
Enjoy.
thought those were lemons and you must have deadened taste buds.😊
I thought it might be built up dried ketchup crud from the walls, but I see you are correct.
I had the same pleasant dream.
Please! I try not to label disagreeable people as sexual deviants when I'm mad at them.
The exact same facial expression as his weekend golf outing pic. Open mouth. Think it's frozen in "open" position?
80? Take it back rug-rat!
I think you are right about black folk. Listening to prog rock for first time. 😀
I was already pretty done with the news media but seeing clips yesterday from the Sunday shows where an anchor is like “but what if living in a Police State does reduce car jackings? Why would you be against that?” probably was the end
I think he's very smart. He ogles children in airports. But it's not what you think. He is diagnosing mitochondrial disease. OK, he may also be judging their appearance.
Seems a bit redundant if he has a Union Jack. But more than that, it IS a potent symbol and as such, should not be displayed alone, in multiples, in the PM's crib. imo
Just an astonishing, powerful op-ed that drives home what we are losing and what's already been lost. We are so incredibly fortunate to live with the advances modern medicine and health science. Destroying and stymieing it is just unforgivable. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
True. And I find it hard to believe that Trump or RFK even understand the science. Don't tell me RFK e.g. looked at it and was able to surmise it was "bad" science.
Yes, I'm absolutely certain that T. has read and analyzed Pfizer's data. I thought their public reach was effective given the emergent circumstances and campaign of anti vax dissembling that was waged.
It makes me emotional to see Judge Sooknanan showing that she values each individual child’s life at a moment when this administration is doing exactly the opposite
What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
Omg guys!! That dang fox posed for me tonight!!!! #wildlife #fox
brb, gonna check this out with ChatGPT.
"Never felt better..." There's often that lucid euphoria.
(Me on the phone receiving the Giuliani news, nodding and listening gravely): "His whole ass fell off? [pause] MOST of his ass fell off, I see..."
This is what a regular traffic stop looks like in DC now.

You must have hit some super sensitive establishment dem nerves to get the posse after you. Quite impressive really. Haven't seen such a concentration of misdirected venom since the Twitter days when Sanders was running. Which means you must have siad something right. Well done Ali.

A friend of mine acted like it was super weird I put up photos of myself in the living room den and all the common spaces and I lost so much respect for him what do you mean "why don't you put them up in your own house instead "
I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...
True. He needs to maximize his skillz. It's not a time to be modest.
Better put his actual resumes under the microscope because that is called padding. Very creative.

😊 Is there a famous park in DC? Gonna be hilarious if they find a decapitated corpse in the park. "Investigators are unsure of the species..."
The world is burning but the content the last three days….
very stealth almost whizzed past me

I think when it happens we should call it “congestive heart success”
Wurm is getting middle age spread.

Maybe that was a twat rhymes with cat. But I've been here many years and still can't "hear" your objection to the rhyming of "thought" with "support".
Oh! Or dropping off the hooker, who was simply waving goodbye. Then he pulled out without checking his rear...don't like how this is sounding....
It does, because it begins with the motor vehicle accident. But before that "insert super hero scenario", which may or may not be linked.🤔

Me too. It doesn't say whether he was the driver either.
what fun!
The politics of AI art are diametrically opposite to the politics of Caturday. In both cases, it is trivial to search the internet and find a million instances of the subject matter. But the experience through which you reach the image determines the meaning of the image. Consider the cat.
"Fun really is the name of the game for Trump & co. It’s fun for them to see a majority-Democratic city like DC live in fear of violence/deportation, to flood the trains/buses with armed law enforcement just because they can, to unleash troops who understand that they will not be held accountable."
He seems to be vertically challenged and enjoying the costume too much. (Boy Scout? Seriously). I distinctly got the impression of watching little brother being allowed to hang with the big boys, or a boy on Bring Your Son to Work Day.
wow
Your dough is beautiful. I've never had much luck with pita. Recipe?
Looking back it was complete madness. And it wasn't until early nineties someone realized how insane it was & banned smoking in hospitals, causing mini riots from STAFF! My SIL worked in a law office in NYC & was still smoking in her office late nineties and said she would quit if it was banned.
Oh cool, thanks. Maybe around Christmas when I make special stuff I'm going to test this out.
"wheat-based disposable pottery." 😀 I love these cook's descriptions of pie crust through the ages.
Ooh, I'd like to know more about the egg enriched crust. I don't make them often now but I'd just been using a less fat shortcrust. With lots of patching.😏 And yes, easy to see why they loved the less edible version, the way they used to fill them.
Even on the wards. I have a horror story from early eighties on night shift finding an old man lighting up under his blanket to smoke. He'd just come out of surgery for his SECOND above knee amputation due to vascular disease.😬
I still use a fat cap, but butter, when I make pate or spreads for gifts. So the cap is actually edible.
Wallpaper paste. Very apt description. As you would know, hot water pie crust is similar but incorporates fat and is used to make sturdy stand pies. But as much as I admire the stand pie, the process to make the crust just makes me heave. 🤮
What is going on with Trump's arm? Looks like (devil) scratch marks and the whole arm position seems non anatomical.
"That's what I've been told." And that is the extent of my integrity or honor. Just a functionary following orders.
Drew Ensign, DOJ. One day, Drew.
Judge Sooknanan has ordered the Trump admin not to deport any members of the class of Guatemalan children while she is hearing the case
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Sparkle Sooknanan holds an emergency hearing as the Trump admin is reportedly trying—imminently—to deport hundreds of Guatemalan children without required process or access to representation. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71240...
I just remarked somewhere else, I'm certain when this photo first circulated that it was a red MAGA hat he was wearing. Someone is fucking with us?
I thought the photo above, when originally circulated, had him in the red MAGA hat. Now on here it looks white.🤔
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
This is the way. Nationwide. Chalkers Anonymous.
I've had the exact same experiences in New Jersey. People hanging in the back, even sitting, suddenly when line moves, HEY!
I'm just asking questions
Some murder is inevitable. And Lisa Cook needs to come clean.

Huh. Anyone else hear this?
fuck's sake
Le jour où ça arrive réellement, je mets une option sur le jeu de mots franglais "Washington Décès".
when they say "Trump Burger", what exactly do they mean? Exactly.
what he said
Not you! It.
But with a wooden spoon.
