From Friday. Estabrook beer garden season opening. Beautiful weather! The maibock was the first barrel to be tapped for the season - delicious!

First bird of the year!

I’ve been positing this every year for sixteen years. Happy Easter.

Enjoyed evening out with Mrs. at Turner Hall Milwaukee to see Bob Mould. Husker Du lives!

Collection of handwritten post cards wife and I received for recent election suggesting that we vote. I guess it was an important one...
Side note: previous resident that died about 5 years received a few as well.

not one of these billionaire fuckstains like Howard Lutnick or the Space Nazi — or even fake billionaires like Donny Convict — have a single clue what it’s like to live in the real word. so what if the price of everything doubles? they won’t even notice. do you think Lutnick has ever had to choose between paying for medication, or paying the rent? ha fucking ha. these motherfuckers think financial collapse is good for you. hey, you’ll be able to pick up a few stocks on the cheap, and sell them when the market goes up, so what’s with all the bellyaching? with any luck, these assholes will lose bigtime, and be forced to survive in the economy they’ve inflicted on the rest of us.

They won't need to force people to do anything. After social safety nets and regulations are gutted, the choice will be "work for indentured substinance, or starve - I'll be over at the golf club if you need me."

New Budget Resolution Is Upside Down, Hurting Families the President Pledged to Serve to Shower Tax Cuts on the Wealthy and Powerful | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities Congress is speeding down a path to a deeply harmful budget and tax “reconciliation” bill that showers tax cuts on millionaires, billionaires, and corporations — and pays for it in part by raising hea...

A poll was needed to identify this?

A moment away from all of the bad news: catnip time!

this arrogant asshole presumed he could just waltz in and buy himself a Supreme Court Justice. gimme gimme gimme, mine mine mine. that’s how plutocrats roll. but yesterday, the voters of Wisconsin — tired of being bullied by fascist gazillionaires — told the Space Nazi to go fuck himself sideways. this is huge. Susan Crawford crushed her opponent and cruised to 9-point victory. Crawford was technically running against Republican Brad Schimel — but everyone knows who she really defeated.

pro tip: if you can afford to blow $250 million on a losing campaign in Wisconsin, you can afford to pay a 90% top tax margin

Surprised Schimel didn't cry 'voter fraud' like Michels, Hovde, and Trump.

Another March opening at Estabrook Beer Garden. Prost!

I miss George Carlin.

3 more fish fries to go. I'm not Catholic, but the local parish does a good fry.

Nice visit at Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The buoy, from Alaska, was used to track tsunamis...until it broke its tether in a tsunami. So much to see, we only saw a fraction of exhibits.

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed

Catching a glizz at #thewienerscircle in Chi Town. Minimal cussing today.

It would be fun to see them return to Shank Hall.

Hoppy St. Poooohtrack's Day! It's magically delicious!

One of the cornerstones of any scouting program: the pinewood derby race.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

These people that have never experienced need, or want in their lives are making these blanket and callous decisions that affect the rest of us. It's appalling.

Nice thought. How did it go down?

Oh, Biscuits!

Oh, Biscuits!

"I'm sorry the man is coming down hard on you. Take a look at this conspiracy theory / false prophecy I found on YouTube. Hope it brightens your day!"

41 chair not once, but twice this weekend made his day.
