Swatching for gauge (Trump method).

1. Knit swatch 4 inches square.
2. Claim swatch is 6 inches square.
3. Do not block swatch. Blocking is woke.
4. Measure gauge.
5. If gauge is off, smash ruler.
6. Claim ruler was made by Biden.
7. Gauge is now correct.
8. Continue to not release Epstein files.

Rubin opens its eye. And what it sees is the Universe. Mind-blowing first images from the huge telescope.

I give you a momentary reprieve from the madness:

The Vera Rubin Observatory has taken its first images of the sky, and they are *extraordinary*. Mind blowing detail, jaw dropping beauty.

A doggo I once sat decided to take me to the dog beach by the long way round, when I thought being dressed for the office was a good enough excuse to not let her swim.

Photo of a longhaired tortie cat lying on a sunny sidewalk with grass lawn on either side. It has a round little dark object in front of it, a toy maybe.

Writing on the back of this photo from my collection says β€œGeneral Nuisance. Summer 1954”.

 John le Fucker was an Englishman who is known for his unusual surname, as documented in a 26 April 1278 administrative record that declared he was imprisoned for double murder and seeking bail. Le Fucker's name has been called the earliest recorded instance of the English swear word fuck
