Who needs/wants more imaginary hoops to jump through?

If they were able to enforce a simple no mask rule, much of the terror would stop.

No large city can protect all of it's citizens from harm 100% of the time

They're lying!

There should be a men's cologne that smells like a damp wool sweater

I'd splash it on occasionally

We're = His friends and family?

I'll bet there is a really long German word for when you go to the grocery store just to get out of the house.

I cleanup and resell old photos in frames as an odd hobby.
Every time at flea markets older people tell me they have photos like that of their ancestors.
I always tell them to write the names on the back because if their kids don't know who they are, I will be finding them in a thrift shop.

The inside of an antique Catholic Priest's sick call box containing a candle holder, cross that slides into the top of the candle holder, holy water bottle, small cup, and two plates.

Continuing with my religious things to fix streak

Trying to figure out if I have the skills to replace the purple lining

Outrage is so draining

Has Tab Bamford forgotten about Bluesky?

I may be wrong, but I don't think the previous administration was pushing people to consume more sugar and processed foods.

Today's cleanup task

I now almost have all the necessary tools ready for the next time I need to call a priest to give me my last rites

I may need to go to Walmart for some candles and fresh Holy Water

Is it better to run over the zombies with the front of your car instead of backing over them?

I hope to see most excellent courtroom sketches

Last cleanup task of the year.

Probably the dirtiest I frame ever have ever purchased.

Banged up bottom, but I still like it.

So many nooks and crannies.

I'm abandoning my 2026 new year's resolutions today just so I can mark the task as complete.

Nine different dirty antique frames of various shapes

Hopefully under several decades of much attic dirt there is something fun in this pile of frames I purchased

At least it should keep me occupied for a few cold weather weeks

Kushner is not a US official, why is he there?

It wasn’t even close.
