strange. fabric doesn't normally fall like that across an arm.
I spoke with my friend @spythenight.bsky.social about FIEND I and II and men's mental health, amongst other stuff. Check it out! startembracingthecrone.substack.com/p/caustics-f...
Despite federal court ruling -not just local opposition.
“Illegally” or “despite court declaring it illegal.” You can fit it in. Without it you just normalize it. And shame on you.
“More stairs…” Ziegfeld said, as he sat dying.
No, he swings from a web making him a swinge—
"Be loud for America", is an astoundingly good rallying call for US citizens to resist the Trump autocratic takeover. Actionable and patriotic. Pritzker sure brings the fire to Democratic resistance.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
…what reality is he living in?
No, and for once I have forgot the name of it. 30+ years later. Huh.
I will say though that military personnel can be prosecuted at the state level for detaining people if doing so is in violation of federal law. They can be prosecuted for kidnapping, false imprisonment, assault, etc.
Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement today at 2?
The indictment was handed down 2 days after career prosecutor Richard Barker, the acting US atty for eastern Washington state, resigned. In a social post, Barker wrote “I am grateful that I never had to sign an indictment or file a brief that I didn’t believe in.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
the DOJ atty (& 2x Harvard grad) who suggested Harvard showed "wanton indifference to antisemitism" once wrote a paper from the perspective of Hitler & expressed admiration for Mein Kampf stunning reporting from @hilaryburns.bsky.social @talkopan.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...
Here's one really big headline and one really little headline from this morning's WSJ homepage
Whoops!
. @bsky.app just start running this ad on X asap
Pay attention to how your pets act around people. It is a great gauge of character.
I loved Jageeda, and he knew I was a sucker. One day he was acting up, and so while he was on the bed -I smacked the hell out of him. Not hard! Play smacking like cats do. But fast. He was shocked. And then loved me after that even more. We became bros. He wanted that play and bonding. I miss him.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. How incredibly surprising, I'm shocked no really. 🙄
I have a best friend at Burning Man. This was my text back and forth: (A dead body was found there this weekend.)
West = “White” There is no other definition based on these words. Bigoted segregationist Nazi from South Africa. No one should be giving money to anything he touches/owns.
LAST CALL FOR 2025 TEA ADVENT CALENDARS PREORDERS! At midnight PST, we'll close preorders for this year's super fun rockin delicious tea advent calendar! www.fridaytea.com/products/tea...
Just watched “The Thursday Murder Club”. It is SO well done. Cast, writing, and directing. Also? I was bawling a few times…
My Handler.
“Drop an old person you’re going to turn into in the future.” …duh.
There isn’t really anyone specifically in place to keep the cult alive if he leaves/kicks the bucket. Vance is even more despised -even in the admin. His children can’t run for it. The only thing holding it together after is the dark money/Heritage Foundation.
Sounds like some “Legacy” shit. Like this announcement tomorrow is a goodbye. …goddamn am I hopeful.
This is what we need. And the Old Guard to retire.
On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews
Oh shiiiiiiii
Someone who really should watch the tram car. … Oh, we’re past “please.”
Afternoon on the deck. Torchy could be a bit more comfy. A Cooper’s Hawk just flew into a tree three houses down. And I with my Irn Bru.
Damn, Graham Greene. #RIP
I’m not fully versed in British politics, but at what point does Labour sack his ass and disassociate with someone who is destroying their party with this and a transphobe comms director?
This is literally the largest act of union busting in American history. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Restocked the very large salad bar (oval racetrack of a thing) at a mom & pop Italian place. $5 an hour in 1994. Which is just $2.25 less than the federal minimum wage NOW.
"the threat of homelessness is most acute not in the poorest regions of the country, but in the richest, fastest-growing ones. In places like these, a low-wage job is homelessness waiting to happen." There's no housing in Marin for those who earn less than $65K, which is more than most workers earn.
This isn't about Bluesky itself; it's a test balloon. Silver is testing here whether he can give the Right a new word for wOkE since they ran it into the ground so hard people are using it for franchise rebrands they don't like. Blueskyism is taking the place of anti-racism & anti-bigot for REASONS.
Gotta reach for those stars Respectfully, of course
Hahaha- THEN PUT FORWARD THE ARTICLES OF SUCH AND ACTUALLY FIGHT MF’ER.
Yes! Upgrade your mocktails today!
Vance is clearing space for more couches now that he knows…SOON.
Simpson’s Hit and Run shows pedestrians are the real enemy.
IT'S SEPTEMBER?! Among other things, that means @mrsbarker.bsky.social and I are moving to Athens in TWO. MONTHS. So, if you wanna see me... Rose City Comic Con might be your last chance for... a long while.
Oh my heart.
This is a very good in-depth reporting. We need answers from the WH.
This. The current administration said they want another Gilded Age -which oppressed and killed the working class. Tariffs, oligarchy, robber barons… “Make America Great Again” -for whom? He killed government employee unions. Tariffs will kill small business and collapsed the US lobster fishery.
Every Labor Day I remember that the holiday was moved from May 1 to September not only for the Haymarket attacks but to break up the possibility between the US and the international labor movement (which celebrates in May). And it worked!
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
The background noise, that it ISN’T a bag body-shaped? And the focusing in and out? I don’t think so.
Trash day? Putin’s Window Removal Service? Lazy college guys in their dorm?
Classy.
Bobby Orr, Jordan, Kareem, Dr. J., Babe Ruth, Joltin’ Joe…I could go on. Once again Mark Cuban is a worthless mouth breather. People always gravitated to players. People also gravitated towards teams, too. And not just localized.
As always.
This September on TCM, celebrate the work of Star of the Month Peter Sellers, let the fashions of the legendary Edith Head dazzle you, enter the world of director William Wyler and so much more.
“Too Storey” sandwich! 😂 That comes with bourbon, right?
Birch is attacked by a demon as she's trying to commit suicide. Her soul defeats it but in the process gets locked inside his body while hers falls into a coma. Trapped & stuck in Hell, Birch must survive hordes, manipulation, & temptation as she tries to get back to her body before it's too late.
I actually relaxed yesterday! It was really nice. Feeling reinvigorated! SO! Does anyone need any help? I'd love to make a little extra cash and take @valentinebarker.com out on a date. It's been a while. Websites/Graphic Design/Marketing/Writing Venmo: @diane-barker33
Unfortunately I can’t schedule Mrs. Charles and myself to be in Wales for Halloween this year. Would love to see the celebrations and a drinking horse skeleton.
Happy Halloween Eve, everyone! #Spoopy

I’m not going to make this my current wallpaper… I swear. 😉
The first Black mayor of a tiny Alabama town has overwhelmingly won an election, four years after White residents locked him out of the town hall and refused to let him serve. https://cnn.it/4p0fkwn
…wut.
Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
The next Bond should be the black Scottish gent in the recent viral car video.
I think it was Trevor Noah who had a joke that Bond could never be Black because he couldn’t blend in in Scotland enough to be a spy which is, of course, a great joke but like every fourth Bond takes place in the Bahamas because of colonialism and Bond would be a BETTER spy if he wasn’t white
I ate too much sushi. Worth it. **Doubles over in pain**
4th best, maybe. 😉 “Skyfall” “Goldfinger” “You Only LiveTwice”
At pub trivia competing as team “We Need a Gyro”
So we’re still goin’ with He Ded, right?
I love Walken, but Mayday was a better villain and needed more. And Moore! 😜
Pssst- you up?
“I was murdered!”
RFK Jr on his way to help Rudy Giuliani
Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.
I’d vote for the guy who wasn’t a cop. He could have had a paper route -wait, do they still have those?
That is a long time without other programming! I didn’t realize his library was that vast! 😳
My shirt came and it’s the best thing ever
the NH police account makes it sounds like the domestic violence call was totally separate from guiliani’s crash, which occurred on the other side of the highway? www.nhsp.dos.nh.gov/news-and-med...
My favorite is 2B Because as I go through my collection I revise Hamlet as a struggling artist for still life.
need rudy’s supposed 911 call stat
Rudy Giuliani absolutely did not try to shortchange a sex worker and then was pursued by her colleagues, don’t you dare suggest such a thing
“My kingdom for a HB!”
I may be just a small town private eye, but even I am seeing some stretches on this one.
Oh my god! …is the wine ok?
union station today, looks like they are ratcheting up efforts to intimidate protesters. big vehicles are back and a handful now sporting “military police” vests
Your skeet is blurry, but thank you. Miss you! 🕵️♂️🍸
time travel to 2005 and tell yourself that in 20 years, the president is Donald Trump, he's threatening to invade Chicago, no one is 100% sure if he's actually even still alive, and the Governor of Illinois is on the internet asking if we're in a Weekend at Bernies situation.
*You’ve* had 6 cocktails. Shut up.
I’m in the wrong line.
This is 48. #Ew
