Hey Brenda!

I’ll be in and out! Hope your weekend is going well! I pushed out my “Memes in the Time of Trump 2.0” column a little prematurely. I’ll be updating it and you and the Breakfast Crew will be the first to see it!

In the meantime, have a wonderful Saturday (my cat’s giving me the

Sign Petition: Hegseth has no clue what he's doing. Demand he resign or be fired. Pete Hegseth is a disaster as Secretary of Defense, and he needs to go NOW. He has no idea what he is doing, and has been making (14803 signatures on petition)

Gotta bounce but here’s a fun thing to sign off on:

A cat among cats, Smokey celebrates!

I’m so late but after a busy morning it’s nice to catch a break and say hi to whoever’s here!

Happy Saturday, one and all!

Or Caturday, as my feline overlord reminds me!

Hey gang! ToddyB has a great pack! Some good friends on here I’ll vouch for and some folks new to me who look pretty damned cool!

Hit Follow All, build community and solidarity, and have a rockin’ weekend!

Agreed. I figured it was only a matter of time before we started to see this kind of foolishness.

Nyah, that’s silly! (Please tell me it is; I don’t want to be right about this.)

I don’t know who’s noticed, but as the crazy ratchets up and more memes are produced, the more of these “Memes in the Time of Trump 2.0” I find myself pushing out. You’ve probably seen many or most of these, but they’re here for chuckles, tears, and the cold solace of reminding you you’re not crazy!

I’m so down for this!

Anything to piss ICE off. I might even walk around with a printed out definition of “habeas corpus”…

This is brilliant!

The great cat Smokey celebrating!

Thanks Maureen!

At a certain point, there’s no commentary that’s going to be particularly useful. ICE and the machine that drives it needs to be dismantled. It’s going to be a long journey.

Madness.

Afternoon reading. It’s long, but it’s worth it. Tom’s piece is as clear-eyed as any I’ve read and resonates with me in not entirely comfortable ways.

I saw the specs and it’s perfect for my hand. I’ve been waffling about this for so long, but hearing someone else having trackpad issues (& particularly using any kind of graphics software) has clinched this.

Thanks Duncan! That’s the push I needed!

Sold! What a glorious little guy you have there. Next purchase in 3, 2, 1,..

Oooooh! Speaking of stuff to do, this is a good one!

Thanks to @noligarchs.bsky.social for reposting so I came across this!

Agreed!

❤️ you guys!

discourse and all this metastasizes into the current malignancy. “You’re overreacting”, “you’re exaggerating”, and “oh, you only think the worst”. Yeah, that’s what I’ve put up with.

ruling class. The first inkling I got was when Reagan sailed in on a high tide of lies and anti-government rhetoric: “the government is the problem” was an operating principle. Then you get Gingrich’s showboating and Contract (on) America; the welcoming of the Tea Party into political and social
