This is how "your momma" jokes started in the 19th century

"He fractured one of the cells of the brain." Dr Frankenstein

A fractured brain cell?

Oh, I dunno... I fracture my brain cell at least twice a day. (I probably ought to get it a stand-in...)

Those two are the healthiest, happiest-looking Bassets I've ever seen. Well done to their human(s)! I hope the dogs see fit to throw them a treat or two...

“This heartbreaking study shows that almost every group of birds is doing poorly because of reckless agricultural practices and human-caused climate change,” said Tara Zuardo, a senior campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity.

“Extinction starts with declines like these, and birds are often the indicators that our environment is too toxic to support other life. These findings are a powerful rebuke to Republicans on Capitol Hill who’re trying to gut the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.”

That makes sense. I'm not an expert, but it tracks with what I know of that general style and era. (And I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'd love a reminder of what said architectural style is called.)

That's a period correct chandelier, love it

Pittsburgh is the only Rust Belt city to recover from industrial collapse. It's a pretty cool place, but it doesn't get much good weather

GORGEOUS place! (And you do fantastic work!)
Right now, though that could change in a minute thanks to lack of sleep, my favorite feature is the ceiling lamp hanging from the blue ceiling. 🤩

This makes me want to visit Pittsburgh! (My late father would likely have said, "There is no such sentence!")

Insanely cool; restored entry stairs and paneling. I did not do this restoration, but this a shout out to those who did. It's good work

Rising to the 2nd floor up the entry stairs

Home office restored

Wrapping up at the plaster refinish/interior repaint of the last month. We are at the cleanup and load-out stage, which means I finish tomorrow

Highland Park neighborhood, Pittsburgh

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 asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
