Rob Halford singing

For the first time, I'm hearing Sabbath's War Pigs as interpreted by Priest. It fuels the mindset I find myself in since yesterday. Can you relate?

That, or a prototype Gom Jabbar

What was the first comic you purchased with your own lawn mowing money? Mine was Black Lightning. Was visiting my aunt & uncle in northern Illinois (he was stationed Great Lakes) and discovered 7-11s and Slurpees. I soon ran out of all my pocket money

No thunder here, but i dreamt i got certified mail to prepare to "bag drag".
Context: I scanned some substack titles before falling asleep (renewed bad habit) and read how the Nimitz fleet and refuel planes (assuming USAF) are racing towards the Mediterranean and midway points in between.

Ripley Rose starts hers next week. Tumor in her left upper jaw. She's survived Cushings, having her spleen removed and a blown out ACL. She's a fighter.

Home prepared summer coleslaw

Remember when mom let you lick the icing spatula or cookie dough beaters? Well Come On Down! I'll let you clean out the bowl with a spoon! 1st batch of summer coleslaw.

Made from scratch burrito filling and vegetable broth. We've now got about 5 lbs each of Red, Pinto, White, Black, Lima, and Garbonzo beans. Trying to stockpile beans whenever we got out to offset the tariffs.

It's questionable if in-country flying is safe. For several consecutive days, the airport at Newark NJ has been flagged as quite unsafe for all flights. But Orange Man & Musky keep saying everything is fine.

My FIL had a great catch phrase for such things: we're screwed and tattooed

Damn. I was hoping to nab EtR at a con this year. So I went ahead and ordered it.

I took the tour two decades ago. While it is a fascinating place, I agree with the prospect. One would have to raze it to the foundations and rebuild.

Bassy and me. We be mates

Homemade vegetable broth in sealable glass containers.

Adapting to a self-imposed austerity lifestyle. Simple vegetable broth from scraps accumulated over a week.

How did I go through life only knowing ONE song by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones? A deep dive on them has been the highlight of the week. Here's a rocking cover tune. 🤘RAWK🤘

Beto O'Rourke speaking at a protest in Waco 27 April 2025

Don't know about ya'll, but I like and appreciate a man who can sprinkle a speech with fucker, mother fucker and goddam to accentuate key points. It feels honest and conveys severity. Like Beto does. #WeThePeople

Love it! Saw this at the Waco protest yesterday. Alt version: Deer tick, Dog tick, Luna tick - know your blood suckers

McClennan County TX has been graced by our first male Bunting of the season.

Ugh! More like 1000+. This is from the Waco areas Paper of Record! How can they be so far off on the headcount? Normally, I wouldn't care, but attendance at these rallies this month, when graphed, has spiked like a hockey stick. Shame on you, #WacoTribune

We The People March For Democracy at Indian Spring Park in Waco TX. Keynotes Wendy Davis, Beto O'Rourke, and marching across the Bosque River. YOOJ crowd

Nothing in my lifetime compares to this fuckery. In terms of humor though "We've passed legislation to outlaw Russia. We begin bombing in five minutes". Reagan testing a mic, not knowing it was hot.

Mayborn Museum at Baylor in Waco. It was a fine day.

We live in a fucking bizzaro world. As someone who is deeply empathetic, I can't take much more of this "we do as we're told" mentality. And what that is to say, the mass manipulation by the oligarchy billionaire class driven narrative is operating just fine. Thank you very much

Per Wordle, today I'm MAGNIFICENT! I really needed to hear that.

Ginger cat sitting on sleeping man's chest.

Apparently, he does this not just every night but sometimes two or more times. He has never woken me up. Must be the purring.
