Never mind. We just haven't had the windows open, because I hear him now in the distance

Giant lemon with mustard packet for scale

I love it when recipes call for "the juice of over lemon". Do you mean a tiny lemon or this behemoth?

Maga always thought was was good. All the "Kamala is a war monger" stuff was for the swing voters

Peacock

Peacock by the sidewalk

Came across the neighborhood peacock, Petey. His tail is ready to display, I'm guessing, but we haven't heard him scream his song of love yet this spring. (no, peacocks are not native here)

Particularly indeed…

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

“Starting a new war with Iran?”

SHINGLES DOESN’T CARE!

“Hiding from the #TrumpEpsteinFiles?”

SHINGLES DOESN’T CARE!

“Suffering from the worst polling in presidential history?”

SHINGLES DOESN’T CARE!

Looks like someone listened to #Wormbrain & didn’t get his shingles vaccine. Looks painful.

If you actually thought Iran developing nuclear weapons was a dire possibility meriting a full scale war, then you’d definitionally have to condemn the person who ripped up the agreement that had until then fully constrained that development.

Right? I can handle this on my own!!

from "don't kill people" to "don't kill people" to "don't kill people" in record time

I need a therapist, but then I'd have to rely on them and I've tried that.... Wait....

Delete your AI. You know that it’s evil in every way. Don’t use it. Value something better than convenience.

At least 22 killed and more than 120 wounded in Pakistan as protesters try to storm US Consulate Authorities say at least 22 people were killed and more than 120 wounded in clashes with police on Sunday after protesters stormed the U.S.

Are any of the reporters who let the Republicans sucker them into the Benghazi scandal narrative awake right now?

Donald Trump is lucky he’s not a Democrat, otherwise the people who make seven figures to read aloud on TV would be performing outraged right now.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Her hair is terrible.

Pay attention:

This is what happens when gay people hate you.

I wonder fucking why

Two apple pies with streusel topping, one almost gone.

My youngest child turned 18 this week and wanted apple pie instead of cake. The crusts were small so I made 2 of them and they were amazing. And my kid is amazing and probably will be a functional adult.

There are 150 schoolchildren nobody can ask about anything anymore but presumably you meant some different ordinary Iranians

I'm not on Substack (and don't plan on using it for multiple reasons), but I didn't realize they were doing the same thing that Discord was doing.

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."

So why do it?

"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."

Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

I got up earlier today than I do when I have to work, which really shows how the dread of going to work makes me not want to get up. I need a vacation...

Americans are able to instantly identify and sympathize with John Wick and his violent rampage when his dog is killed in a movie but are incapable of applying the same logic to a person of color having their kids murdered

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Starting to think that a government that finds universal healthcare impossible but can go to war with the middle east four times in my life might be bad

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

I need to program a bot that responds to any link to a Substack post with the question, "Why are you still on Substack?" with a link to this article: www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
