This Week in Florida

We lived in the Pacific Northwest for over a decade and this picture is about the most Portland picture imaginable. If you asked a generative AI (don't, they are awful) to come up with the most Portland image possible this is what it'd come up with.

Wait until you get older! It'll be something cringe from THIRTY years ago and then you'll be grabbing your chest thinking, "wait, how the actual f*** was that thirty years ago? I was already twenty..."

There it is

100%

Might be worth noting that a) no one deserves to be assaulted, including ICE agents and b) ICE didn't exist in the 20th century and somehow we got by.

It's wild that she thinks that a demonic sexual performance wouldn't be the highest rated Super Bowl Half Time of all time.

Not that that's what the Half Time show will be. That dude is hilarious and talented and seems to give AF about humans.

ICE agents are reportedly creeping around high schools in Chicago. And because they are wearing masks, often not wearing uniforms and using unmarked vehicles this means that ANYONE could show up dressed like this and disappear kids off the streets. This is especially dangerous

Visit South Florida. He wouldn't stand out. SMH. I wish he would. Those guys are so bad for the blood pressure.

Spot on.

War on America, Chicago Theater of Operations In counter-insurgency warfare, any civilian can be a suspect

"When civilians are redefined as enemy combatants, the path is open to treat them with maximum brutality and erase their humanity. Chicago was a teaching moment for police and other state security forces nationally..."

The far left judges hang out with their pals Elvis, JFK, the Easter Bunny and Slender Man.

Ah yes, all of those communist judges that were able to beat the filibuster to get confirmed over the years. Sure. That's a thing.

The vehicle was donated, to be clear, but it is an interesting note to the budget crisis. Donations available for tech boi fantasy toys. But for services? Not as much.

Context: The sheriff of MDC demanded massive budget increases this year while the rest of the county literally nearly came to blows over the scraps during a budget crisis. The sheriff threatened to call the county mayor "soft on crime" to get these increases and won.

Anyone know how to volunteer to help with the #SouthFlorida #NationalParks like #Everglades, #Biscayne and #BigCypress during the #shutdown? Obviously, with no rangers there will be tasks that need to be done anyway. How can people help? @foreverglades.bsky.social

May the United States be inscribed for a good year in the book of life.

A year of empathy and community.

A year of peace.

Such a weird and scary time, Dr. Freeman. Shanah tovah u’metuka.

I'm not Jewish, so I hope I said that right. You are a light and a blessing and an inspiration--may your new year be full of light and blessing.

Have we ever had a president that by one measure or another wasn't a fuck up? Garfield, maybe?

Being better than a fuck up at one thing or another is a low bar most if not all of our presidents failed to get over.

It's a matter of quantity of fuck ups it seems.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Is he channeling Robert Moses (the urban planner, not the civil rights icon turned education icon)?

Against which person?
