"I don't care about polling," might be the single biggest lie this pathological liar has ever uttered.

Damn it, damn it, damn it

A sad and beautiful song appropriate to the day:

Thank you for sharing this, and I'm just really really glad that you and your family can celebrate this anniversary.

A man in a black coat is halfway in frame. Behind him is a brown brick house and at the top right corner of the frame, most of a flag that reads “Donate Life / Donation Saves Lives” is visible.

It’s the 7th anniversary of Miss No User-Serviceable Parts Inside’s transplant, which I mark by reminding people to opt in to be an organ donor. Lucy’s was a pediatric donor, and the depth of our gratitude and sympathy is inexpressible.

Sign up *and* inform your loved ones of your intention.

There might not be a single person alive less qualified than Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense right now.

This is a strong example of @jamellebouie.net's point from his SOTU analysis: for Trump and Hegseth and the rest of these creeps, "Americans" really only refers to a narrow slice of the populace.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti never cross his mind, because opposing the regime rendered them nationless.

Just a little ways into Suzanne Palmer's The Scavenger Door, the third book in her Finder series. Really fun SF adventure series.

Talk about all hat no cattle

I guess there *are* things money can't buy

Right, I think she's confused on more than one axis.

I'm betting she's (mis)remembering Feingold's sole vote against the PATRIOT Act.

That was in the House; she's confusing Sanders with Russ Feingold.

Hahahaha holy fucking shit if anyone ever doubts their stance on any issue just look to Van Jones as an anti-compass and do the exact opposite of whatever this corrupt asshole is doing.

Ken, only 21% approve of this, you don't gain anything by equivocating.

Jammy yes, probably not soft-boiled. Also no deviled!

Oh buddy, oof

That Keir, just a master at threading tricky political needles.

In general I'm anti-canned tuna! It's one of my three anathemata, along with cottage cheese and hard-boiled eggs. Other than those three I'm actually a pretty adventurous eater.

You might think you're immune to brain frying, but you're not. If you are actively consuming Twitter your brain will be fried.

A picture I took in Iran. I think this was in Kashan, in a bazaar. It's from inside looking up into a dome. The light centers on the apex, where air flows into the bazaar and down across a fountain, cooling over the water and making an ancient air conditioner. I fucking miss Iran. I miss my family there. I miss the feeling of NOT being judged because in the US I've always been "othered" for my heritage and there I'm one of them. Even though they all know I'm from the US, I'm one of them. I hope enough of it's still standing in the wake of American fascism for me to visit again.

I wonder when Bernie and the remaining Bluesky diehards will finally recognize the situation here.

lol, come on, man.

1. Iraq and Iran are different countries?
2. Dude died because his tank fell into a river!

Two onion bagel halves covered in yellow curry chicken salad sit on a yellow plate with red design around the rim

My loathing for all other lunch "salads" (tuna,egg, regular chicken) is the exact inverse of how much I love a good curry chicken salad. I made this batch on Friday and it is exactly to my preferences, which is a very good feeling.
