That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.
You broke it Don, you fix it.
It wasn't a "Military Academy"—it was a reform school.
And that isn't an army uniform—it's a costume from a community theater production of "The Nutcracker."
Plastered Pete Kegstand is big mad at photographers for making him look like the dickbrained clown he is. I cover this and all the other dumbfuckery that happened in "this week in stupid," my every-Saturday round-up. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION to reading it. link is here: bit.ly/4bH0sOB
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
I had no expectations for Dicken’s Great Expectations, but after less than 100 pages in I gotta admit that I’m hooked. I would’ve never picked this up if it wasn’t on my list of “classics everyone should read”.
And that’s exactly why I’m doing this.
What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
Eleanor Roosevelt redefined the role of First Lady in the United States. In the years after, she served as US delegate to the UN General Assembly and had a lead role in defining the text for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor

4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Persephone is 11 years old.
Persephone just discovered that Mom-Hooman had something called “comb” that is the best itch-skritch EVER.
Persephone now herds Mom-Hooman into the Room of Skritch at least thrice daily, bleating like a goat and nipping at her feet.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
Email from Prime Video, where I learned that there’s a remake of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. No thanks. For me, there’s only one Illya Kuryakin 😊
Normalise the second question when you meet an American outside of America being “who did you vote for?”
I got asked exactly that just last week at my GP's office.
Also the red cap would make it easier to discern exactly whose food to spit in.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Herbert Marshall lost a leg in world war one, and went on to become a leading man in Hollywood. He worked to help injured troops after becoming famous, especially amputees. #TheFilmcrowd
Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justice’s campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...
My secret life as a cat.
Like clockwork.
Evening stroll and dog walk at Bamburgh Beach, Northumberland. Started off relatively cloudy but the clouds started to break up a little aand give some lovely soft light in the sky across the beach and rocks. A worthwhile wander.

Great to hear that local authorities are proposing acoustic cameras. Overly loud cars and motorbikes are a major source of noise pollution. www.portphillip.vic....
