Acyn (@acynig) on Threads AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re askin...

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

DOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files — including Trump allegations — were removed Justice Department expects to restore missing documents that were taken offline for review

Lock them up.

Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?

Withering Winter, Rensaku Where did February go? I have one last PT class on Friday. I’ve spent some time developing an exercise/walking program to keep the sciatica pain at bay. It’s still there, but I can cope…

#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 54, Imagist poetry, 3/3/2026 Hi, this is Robbie, your host for this week's #TankaTuesday challenge. This week, we're writing imagist poetry. I was introduced to this interesting poetry form by Lindsey Martin-Bowen who explained this concept as being a poem wherein the poet focuses upon creating an image with the poem. In other words, the poem is about a specific object and describes that object.

It’s good that Kamala is saying this. I wish Schumer and Jeffries had this much spine.

Following yesterday’s painting of a Chiffchaff, here’s a Chaffinch (male). They’re part of my expressive birds collection :)

Sen. Tammy Duckworth: "If there was ever a time for Republicans to find their spines, it's now, when the Commander in Chief readily admits that he is choosing to put our troops' lives at risk without a legitimate imminent threat to our homeland or our citizens."

This is a chiffchaff. While small numbers overwinter here in the UK, hearing their song ‘chiff chaff chiff chaff’ for me really signals the start of Spring, I know I’ll be hearing one any day 🥰

PRESIDENT EPSTEIN BIGLY WORRIED OVER FALLING POLL NUMBERS SO HE STARTS ILLEGAL WAR WITH IRAN! HE WILL LOSE MIDTERMS AND GET IMPEACHED AND ARRESTED!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

Bombing Iran and starting a war to distract from the released Epstein files. Just imagine the content of that which the DOJ is illegally withholding from the public and has not been released. What kind of distraction does that necessitate?

Beyond frightening.

The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.

It's Caturday! Yay! I'm Dennis!

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

Hillary Clinton is testifying right now about her husband. When does Melania get to testify about hers 🧐😒

Big substorm happening now in Fairbanks! Here’s the current view on my iPhone with the 0.5x lens—usually doesn’t capture much unless there’s some bright aurora!

Breaking on MS NOW:

@alivitali.bsky.social reports the Hillary Clinton deposition has resumed, but that Clinton is asking press be allowed into the room for the rest of the deposition.

Comer said NO — despite Lauren Boebert taking photos of Clinton and giving them to a far-right activist.

Mercury is retrograde Feb 26 - Mar 20, in the all-connecting, boundary-blurring universal waters of Pisces.

Could be a particularly retrogradey retrograde! Trust feelings over words. Read the currents & ride them while you're at it.

Withering Winter, Rensaku Where did February go? I have one last PT class on Friday. I've spent some time developing an exercise/walking program to keep the sciatica pain at bay. It's still there, but I can cope with it without meds. That's a huge improvement. The days of me sitting at my computer all day is a thing of the past! I've had a rough time in the creativity department.

#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 53, Rensaku, 2/24/26 Welcome to this week’s poetry challenge at Tanka Tuesday! Let’s write syllabic poetry together! Rensaku (連作) is a Japanese term which, with regard to agriculture, means “to plant a field with the same crop each year; repeated cultivation; monocropping.” And so, regarding poetry, it means “series (of novels); cycle (of poems, songs); sequence. Rensaku was birthed from a reformation of haiku and tanka by…

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.
