That is stunning.

View of the south side of our new wood-framed barn, showing three oversized doors (one for each oversized stall) and an accompanying window opening.

Outside view of one of the stall doors, showing hinges and a horse-proof latch attached to a wood framed 48” x 60” door framed with 2x8 Douglas-fir.

Looking out through the same door, with slats of light showing through the gaps in the wall sheathing.

I built and installed three doors for the stalls in the new barn that we are building for our Clydesdale horses.

Still true.

Kudos to my ancestral homeland for this. 🇳🇴

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue appears on the scene as Green is glaring at a failed crafts project, which has been utterly mangled beyond recognition. Blue: What's wrong? Green: The jute rope basket I've been trying to weave fell apart. Blue sits down opposite of Green, also looking at the mangled basket attempt. Blue: The one that was shedding needly fibers everywhere? Green: Yep. Blue continues looking at the failed basket as Green raises his head to look at Blue incredulously. Blue: Aw, sorry to hear that. Green: Why? You hated that thing. Blue looks back up, and both foxes look at each other calmly. Blue: Just because I'm glad that it's gone doesn't mean I can't be sorry that you lost it.

“A great deal for the world.”
—Trump, referring to loss of American lives in his attack on Iran

What a piece of shit of a human being.

Ya pretty much nailed it, Mishell. :-/

That’s a pretty good joke.

Also, War Powers resolution, Congress! Have a spine!

For Trump, the Iran Attack Is the Ultimate War of Choice

1. This is a war of choice.

2. This is a *preventive* strike, not a pre-emptive strike. Israel is framing it as pre-emptive; Trump isn’t even bothering.

Mr. Sanger explains why both of these things matter.

I’d like to see the Iranian regime gone, too, but this is an aggressive war of choice initiated by one man who says he doesn’t give a shit about international law.

I love the kestrels on our place here in western Oregon. Tiny little raptors with attitudes fit for an eagle-sized bird.

Every time I see them reading the Riot Act to a red-tailed hawk, I crack up. Hawk be like, “Aw, c’mon! Dude, I was just walking by! I didn’t do anything! Ow! Hey!”

Particularly interested in takes from Jewish folks, observant or secular.

So, which part do you find amusing: the entire thread or the original post or ??

I’ve listened to this song countless times over the years, but had never seen the video. That was a visual treat.

You win the internet today.

* Heart. I only have one heart.

Technically, a university apartment building, not a dorm. Regardless, off limits with a judicial warrant.

My hearts bleeds for Kansas today. Dangerous discrimination against trans people went into effect this week in Kansas that invalidates trans driver licenses and criminalizes trans bathroom use.

ICE agents going into a dorm at Columbia U. without a judicial warrant and lying to gain access is unacceptable.

At the author’s suggestion, I’m reposting this thread.

Thoughtful takes appreciated.

Or maybe you kinda sorta did understand in an edgelord sort of way that your joke was cringey (at best) or antisemitic (at worst), but you made it anyway (Because Reasons).

Or maybe reality is a little bit of all of the above.

Okay. Maybe your joke caught me an off day. Maybe I read too much into it.

Or maybe you didn’t understand how mixing tattoos, “Jewish heaven”, and the Pearly Gates into the same joke might be taken as antisemitic.

Welp, she wasn’t wrong about that feeling.

Perhaps the Democratic Party would consider running on… oh, I don’t know… maybe the threat that Trump and his minions pose to American democracy?

Maybe work on putting out the damned fire that’s engulfed several rooms already instead of arguing about the curtains?

…and blows an “um, actually” off with IDGAF—well, I’m genuinely confused.

So, what were you originally going for with the joke?

There are plenty of secular folks on the Left who are ignorant of “faith and dogma”.

But generally these folks—including Vonnegut—do give quite a few fucks about human beings, both individually and collectively.

So when I run into a Left-leaning secularist who throws out a joke like this…

Not concerned about either.

The combo of Peter, a Christian saint who was born a Jew, being the gatekeeper for Jews in the afterlife… with Jews being told for centuries (by the Church) that they were all damned… with the tattoo inspection bit reminiscent of Holocaust tattoos?

That’s a lot.

We don’t know each other and are unlikely to ever meet. From your posts, we are have similar views on a lot of things, so I am genuinely puzzled/curious.

What is it that you DGAF about?

Yeah, I get that you DGAF about my opinion. That’s fine. Not trying to troll here; just trying to understand.
