Everyone get a good night’s sleep tonight so you’ll be well rested and ready to have fun storming the castle! In a nonviolent way of course

Which is exactly what this judge did. It just happened to mean they chose the side the Democrat AGs over that of the fascist taco

You’d better stick with a different choice, no sense tempting an evil rebound. But I think I’m gonna start casting colon cancer on orangeface fatfuck. Maybe a few massive blood clots to go with it. Why can you never find a lump of polonium when you need it?

In Cat, asshole is a compliment. That’s why they show you theirs.

She probably has her own name for you. To which you respond about as well as she responds when you use hers.

I meant they’d be a bit more free of political pressure if they weren’t reliant on money from whoever’s in power. Steve Inskeep was the first reporter I heard finally use the word “lie” to refer to something Trump said, but I’d like to widen the tightrope they walk. It would be even better if their funding was enshrined and guaranteed somehow, but I think we know that’s impossible.

I’ve never had a geese-observation opportunity but now I know they eat grass and the bugs in it, so thanks!

Yeah, most of my comments have asterisks because I see the typos and autoincorrects only after hitting save

Obviously I hope PBS and NPR get all the funding they need, but maybe it would be better if it all came from listeners.

Edit: to free them from being a political pawn. Not disputing the fact they’re an essential service.

It’s paused on appeal now, but there was never going to be a consequence for Trump personally because he’d argue “official act.” There’d only be the return of control of the CA National Guard troops to Governor Newsom So they could be sent to help with wildfire situations, for instance. Then again, will people even trust them to help with an evacuation anymore?

It’s been paused on appeal…

I got a couple of random calls on our landline last week claiming to be from “a national polling company” and starting with a question about my age demographic instead of answering my question “which company?” I may be a boomer but I know better than to tell anything to a machine over the phone, so I hung up. I’d love to give the real pollsters a piece of my mind about the rise of fascism in this country but only the phishers want to hear from me.

I set a perpetual calendar reminder for cleaning the dishwasher filter every month, the HVAC filter every 3 months, the water filter every 5 months. My husband’s calendar reminders are to refill his meds every 24 days. Those days add up to one extra refill a year.

In California we’re all mailed paper ballots, which we can return by mail (no stamp needed) or designated ballot box, or in person at a polling place up to closing time on Voting Day. My ballot (in a westside Los Angeles district) had 37 items, (on about 7 pages iirc) some of which were yes/no on propositions, others of which had a choice between 2 to 15 candidates for various offices. From school board to US President. It was very clear, just needed a black pen to fill the circles, and I could have gotten it in a dozen different languages. It’s also accessible for my quadriplegic husband, who can’t get to a polling place. But it took time and thought. It wasn’t like the pictures I’ve seen of French ballots which were just a single name on a sheet of paper, take the one from the stack of your choice, I guess? So counting them takes more time. Plus counting ballots that were mailed and postmarked by the deadline, those are allowed 2 weeks to arrive.

*(A couple of edits to clarify details)

I wonder, if they’d swapped out Mexican/Guatemalan flags for the Tricouleur would Trump have even noticed?

We got a new cat a week after our very old one died because the apartment was so achingly empty without her. She’d basically raised our kids and was perfect in every way. She was ill for long enough at the end for us to take time telling her that, and grieve while caring for her and loving on her and waiting until the first available time for the home vet to come so she wouldn’t have to go anywhere. And whisper it again into her fur as she took her last breath.

Afterward we looked around at all the things we had to make her comfortable and realized that while no one could ever replace her, there were other old cats sitting in shelter cages who needed love too.

We went to the city shelter and wound up with a cat who is disabled, can’t jump and needed all her teeth extracted. So we paid for that, and brought her home.

Soon after, we somehow also ended up with a feisty stray kitten.

Miss Perfection’s ashes are on a shelf, and I tear up when they catch my eye, but the misfits give us an outlet for all the love she taught us.

Makes more sense than corporations

The military can handle rain but Trump can’t. He’s afraid his hair will pull a Gremlins.

…trying to say Fox is manipulating the quotes to falsify facts…

I’m pretty sure this is what you meant to type because it’s completely on-brand for Fox News

“Newsom” and also “sue”
