So I guess a shot of steroids got Donnie upright and in a suit. How long until the next sighting. … @ishedead.bsky.social

The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
I'm back in the saddle: Why It Matters If Trump Is Dead or Incapacitated Beyond Who Is President rudepundit.blogspot.com/2025/09/why-...
Has RFK Jr come out with that autism “cure” yet?

A lesson for my main lurker. Enjoy your life. Stop worrying about mine.
Guess who’s had 8 hours of sleep on 3 different nights this week!? That’s how you bring your average sleep per night to 6.5 hours. Feels good.
No I do not. I admire their cleverness of this particular deal getting one over on Trump (to the detriment of us taxpayers yet again). He’s too much a fucking fool to see how he’s being used by, yes, crooks. But he is so easily played.
It is of course extremely important to put front and center that Robert E. Lee was literally a traitor and he was a traitor on behalf of the institution of slavery which he strongly supported. But in the battles we have over public memory - which is what the statues and portraits and base names ...
My husband and I enjoy Coopers Hawk wine club. He brought some to me to share. Good stuff.
Oh Bessent, we’ve already been deeply deeply embarrassed.
As someone who loves to plan things… I enjoy and respect Taylor Swift’s level of planning. Never been a swiftie, so I’m just now learning about the depths of her Easter eggs and clues. That’s pretty cool. That’s some serious Grade A planning I could only aspire to. I love it.
With a plane they were looking to unload! They were desperate for someone to take it off their hands. SMH It sucks for us, but I admire their cleverness.
No one would criticize thoughts & prayers if ANYTHING ELSE HELPFUL WAS ALSO DONE. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Fuck Vance.
Remember the debate over Obamacare in 2009 when all that Republicans could talk about for an entire year was “death panels”? They are enacting them.
personally, i have yet to find an ethical reason for me *not* to be a bigot towards machines - in the specific sense of "i believe that organic life is inherently capable of things that inorganic, human-made machine simulations of life are not."
The rooftop of @metmuseum.org is spectacular. But one would have to go inside to get there.
Well, with purported liberals going out to restaurants knowing they have Covid … I don’t see enough people doing the right thing on their own after CDC pulls away.
I hope I live long enough to see the Nuremberg level trials at the end of this
Oooof.
Mortgage on a 2/2 condo is way cheaper than rent on a 2/2 condo. Hooo wheee At least at 2021 interest rates.

Mmmmm Asiago sourdough for breakfast.
“Yay technology”
And what my order was. Shouldn’t that be on your computer?? The same one that told you the food order?? Anyway, I told them my shakes order and then they found it on their computer screen. Note: it was 3:30, not a rush time, no other orders inside. Still took another 5 mins to get shakes. 🙄🙄😆😆😆
Today — it wasn’t even AI — I had to order and pay for my food at a computer kiosk at Steak & Shake. The sandwiches were done fast, and my name was called. But no shakes…? I stood there awhile, and two different employees asked me what I was waiting for. …
Oh the whole thing was utterly delightful. I want to watch it again already. When’s the next one coming out?
Sigh
Good lord, Pierce Brosnan is so hot.
Me and Taylor, like twins. 😆😆😆😆😆 Asiago sourdough
The show is just as wonderful as the books. Note: I’m like half an hour in.
Oh this show is going to be heartbreaking. 🩷Stephen 🩷
Good lord this cast. Pierce Brosnan is fantastic. And if course, 🙄 Ben Kingsley is cast as the Egyptian. And Celia Imrie… what a lovely face! And David Tennant!
Now I want a Cornish pasty. There hasn’t been a dish on the show. Just there’s a Red Lion pub… and i used to get a fantastic pasty with puff pastry and gravy. Mmmm
THURSDAY MURDER CLUB!!! I’m inordinately excited!
Be careful that you’re not so easily triggered by a tweet.
Paid through the nose for all the upgrades to make Disney enjoyable. Had a great time but why would we do it again any time soon?
Yup. We took our kids to Disney plenty about 20 years ago. It wasn’t cheap but it was do-able: esp Florida resident annual pass. But the kids lost interest and the prices kept rising. Husband and I went a couple years ago for the Star Wars stuff….
I have cut way back on sugar. No candy, no commercial pastries or cookies, no soda. Been satisfying my cravings with fruit, peanut butter on sourdough, the occasional popsicle. Today I had a child size vanilla milk shake from Steak & Shake. And whoooo… I can feel that sugar crash coming.
Went to thrift store for a couple trays to corral makeup and bottles in bathroom counter. And maybe a mason jar. And maybe a table cloth. Found two trays. And 4 dishes & a bowl, & a small vase, & 2 board games. Put tablecloth and mason jar and short skinny shelf on list for next week.
Those prop taxes certainly won’t be replaced by tourist taxes from foreign visitors.
And he just spent $250 million (of our money) on his dumb swamp detention center that is being forced closed.

“When one can no longer see, one can at least still know." — Rene Daumal (hat tip James Clear)
“Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up….
French writer and poet Rene Daumal reminds us that it's not about what we achieve, but who we become in the process: "You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? …
👏👏👏👏👏👏
God bless the people at the CDC
Posts with the stated objective of making others jealous* is not actually a sign of a happy person. *it’s not working
Good luck. Don’t listen to me; listen to Taylor: 🎶🎵🎶🎵try to restore the peace And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate🎶🎵🎵
Listen to Taylor: “Hey, are you okay?" And I ain't trying mess with your self-expression But I've learned the lesson that stressin' And obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun 🎶🎶🎶🎶 Someone has issues that aren’t being fixed by obsessing about me and when I post and a rivalry she’s made up.
I need to drop a few pounds this week, so when I go drinking at Tampa cocktail bars with a visitor in a couple weeks, I don’t ruin my downward trend. 😆
No, I didn’t stop posting because of D’s insane illogic and “errs”. It’s just indifference. 🎶🎵I forgot that you existed 🎶🎵
Tom Homan is an embarrassment.
Sigh
If last spring, you filed an extension for your US taxes, and you still haven’t filed, it is time to get serious.
Karma is my boyfriend 🎶
I’ve had several friends with it this summer including one who’d never caught it before in last 5 1/2 years. Glad I got re-vaccinated in spring. Also glad to avoid people.
Distance does make the heart grow fonder. Thinking of all the things I miss about hubby. I’ll see him soon.
FINALLY. Yes. Slow it down. Good lord, please.

Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend should be worried about hell.
Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend does not care about children’s well being. Not even his own.
Bread baking slows me down. Living in a home 2/5ths the size of my prior one is delightful and enlightening. Breaking routines and habits has been good. Hopefully cooler weather comes soon for more outdoor exploring.

The cat demands I pay her attention
Just a general FYI: I get that the CIA and FBI did some shady and crappy things in the 50s-80s. But if you are using those examples as referents for their (legal) powers *now,* you are showing your ignorance of some major constraints that were placed on them by Congress*
i used to get sad then mad with the school shootings. in the last decade i just skip the sad part. fuck the people who make this possible. fuck them in the worst possible way.
Update: it got funny again
I mean this genuinely: I love all the sandwich jokes
Thank you
I don’t think my curly hair would do that.
My son told me about a kid in one of his classes with a highly unusual name. So unusual, I thought the kid might be punking my son. Within minutes, I found he was real, where he went to high school, the make of his car, and his best sport. #BestResearcher — though not hard when name is unusual
My weekend in a song: 🎵🎶 I got better things to do than my to-do list anyway Hide under the covers and waste away the day Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby, drive me crazy All I want to do All I want to do..... is love you @seanbrodrick.bsky.social 🎶🎶🎶🎵
“I’m sorry you got upset” isn’t an apology.
Good!
Nice!
