Report from deep in the heart of war-torn Portland:

We want the files too.

I wouldn't recognize a Taylor Swift song if she smacked me on the arse with one.

"Hit me Taylor, one more time" I'd scream.

I would happily donate to support her getting many little libraries in place. People like her are the best.

Offer a simple deal. A continuing resolution to reopen government, in exchange for full unredacted Epstein files (with only victim identities removed).

Make Republicans justify their protection of pedophiles.

"Look at the TV". (Specifically the TV that has a small burning cardboard box from 2020, playing on endless loop.)

And who reads a freaking newspaper these days anyway? Certainly not him.

That's adorable! โ™ฅ๏ธ We already sprinkle some yummy stuff onto Crumbles food, because she's a bit fussy with it. Hazel is food desperate drooling anxious and can barely contain herself but manages still to be a very good girl. They both complete us.

Thanks a lot for that suggestion. I'll be happy to give it a try!

The kid has always had his own style. In second grade he rocked these sparkly silver spandex pants he found with his mom somewhere. They caused a bit of a trend. It's been wonderful to watch through the years.

Hahaha! That reminds me of something I'll save for another time. But yes, I totally get the impracticality and annoyance factor, however somehow that makes them more appealing to me! ๐Ÿ˜‚

My 17 year old cooked dinner tonight: Steak au Poivre, it was fantastic; he's a very good cook. This time he blasted music eg. AC-DC, Highway to Hell, through our kitchen speaker. Now, hours later, he's singing (loudly) from his room, Michael Jackson's Billy Jean and others. Super fucking cute!

They would but I'm an engineering nerd, so tiny flying drones with bug zapping lasers, are way cooler than spiders.

She's a rescue from a kill shelter in Texas and it seems clear she's been involved in some abusive situations. Super kind dog who's full of energy, but anxious all the time too.

That guy has a future. Excellent camera presence and clarity. And he doesn't speak bullshit either, which is always the sprinkles on top.

Are these abuses simply to grind down the system for the real shit that's coming? It sure feels that way.

I am no expert at all. However I was googling last night for the teeniest tiniest electrical motors and drone parts. I'd like to design a miniscule drone to fly around the house and zap fruit flies.

I like that a lot. It's got that sectional Iron Maiden thing, there are walls of sound, extended lead riffs, then bass driving into Bruce Dickinson's fucking timeless vocals. It's good shit.

It has been decades since I heard it, but it quickly came back. I need to revisit more of my past favs. Thanks for sharing!

Mark, clearly measles is back with a vengeance. Why on Earth would our status be anything but "present and active"? A status suggesting elimination would be absurd.

Judge said Trump was "untethered to the facts", so no National Guard in Portland.

What the hell then, facts matter and sanity continues to rule for the moment.๐ŸŽ‰

Is she an Israeli hostage? We don't like hostages! I wish folks would remember that. Hostages BAD.

A drone for sure and not a DJI.
