Gardener, cook, writer, physician, rescuer of old dogs. Aspiring shitposter. Lover of the ironic, the sardonic, and the generally unserious. I have faith in dogs and in soil biota. At this point, that's about it.

This is so great that I followed and signed up asking for the (eventual) book.

Just dreadful.

Did you shoot them?

I mean, the times being what they are, we have got to start drawing a hard line.

I mean, my dog is uniquely splendid and unlike other dogs. Really.

Yeah, even if the doctor didn't make the decision to cancel, what the hell are they thinking to not raise the roof about it?

Don't put me on the spot like this! I was going to reply, and as soon as I read the second post all original thoughts went out of my head. If, in fact, they were ever in there.

So, uh, I could talk about my most recent Asian noodle dish...or tell you about my dog...

Yup. Gilead.
And you would think that the staff could've developed their scruples before she was in fucking preop and had the fucking IV in her arm.

We really do live in Gilead now. Every woman I know is scared.

So very sorry for your loss. 🫂🫂🫂

😆 Also, starting the day with a shot of whiskey always improves work performance and promotes longevity.

Sorry about your loss. She is a true beauty, with the book of wisdom about her.

Yeah, can't you sort of feel it coming?

I'm just grateful that I can scream at geese freely, like an American.

Yes. You have grasped life's essence. Also, flared-leg pants will come back periodically no matter how most people really look in them. Sorry.

Btw could you please shame bell-bottoms so thoroughly that they never come back?

The image shows an article from The Onion. A painting of God is shown, and he is saying, "News:
God Admits He No
Longer Loves Humanity But Is Too Afraid To Leave

Published: February 23, 2026

THE HEAVENS-Admitting He felt torn between His true feelings and His fear of the unknown, the Lord God Almighty announced Monday that He no longer loved humanity but was too afraid to leave. "Any affection I ever had for the human race is long gone, but I'm just terrified at the thought of walking away and being alone," said Our Heavenly Father, adding while He has felt "stuck" for millennia in the company of the species He adored long ago, He still worries He would have no real identity without them and starting over at His age was terrifying.
"Sometimes I imagine myself ending
it, striking out on my own, and discovering who I really am as God. But then reality comes crashing down. I've been with humanity since the sixth day of creation. What am I supposed to do, start over with bonobos?" At press time, The Almighty acknowledged that He would face little resistance if He left, as humanity has also been growing increasingly distant for some time now."

The Onion has made a foray into theology, and somehow I suspect that they might've gotten it right.

BREAKING

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Glad you're going to be there, and I'll bet she is too.
Maybe carry a semiautomatic rifle for the ROUSes? We're told that having a big gun increases one's safety and is the American way...

Don't worry, in 2028 the CDC announced that all Americans should have chelation therapy and assured us that it would get the microplastics right out of us, no follow-up needed except frequent workouts in wet jeans. In saunas.

A riverboat was refitted as the Chelator Queen. Nobody knows why.

Thanks for tagging me on this! I've been a bit gloomy lately, and seeing beauty and vitality helps.

I tried to make the photo on this hate post elective, but it didn't work. If mods could help me with this I'd be very appreciative.

A user called Aceman22 says in response to Tom's advice about being a good citizen, "Die in a grease fire, Tom Nichols, before the eyes of your whore wife and those of your bastard kid."
This is eminently reportable as targeted harassment. I have reported it and hope you will too.

What? It was available with a Carla paw print? Is the current edition available with a Lily paw print?

And I hope that all on this thread will report the ill-reasoned reply at the very end as targeted harassment. This gentleman is making no effort to be a good citizen.
