Old Woman Yelling at Clouds

I love this picture. It calls to something in me.

Train station early in the morning

The young people already get this from TikTok, it's almost as bad as X (Twitter).
(It's also why I refuse to install TikTok.)

I get John Oliver on YouTube.

I watch CNN because I'm old and alone most of the day and need sound to fill up the silence; I try to watch the 5 o'clock news so I get more than one perspective, and the local news and weather because that matters. PBS is a lifeline; I easily watch more shows on there than on network or cable.

Noem and her planes. Good grief! She did this in South Dakota while she was governor.
I can't argue against replacing that plane, it was old, built in the 1980's I believe.
But it didn't need replacing with a fancy luxury private plane. Which she did.

That did not go where I expected and it is brilliant!

Every time I watch this I am in awe of the dancers who put this together.

I hope the guy who draped his gold medal over Patel gets it back.

Did they invite him or did he just show up and walk in?

Well, I have a great-niece whose first name is Ana.

There is something very meditative in sorting dried beans for soup.
My mother taught me how to do this years ago.

EMILY DICKINSON, JEDI KNIGHT

Not so clumsy, nor so random -
As a blaster - in its rage

More elegant - the weapon
More civilized - the age

That "But thank you" at the end is just plain murder. Absolute queen.

I miss those really fast spins when they put their arms up, like at the end of the video.
I also miss seeing the medal ceremonies. They don't show those anymore.

Jaywalking in the United States is a made up "crime" that was literally a psyop campaign....

funded by automakers

because their cars were killing pedestrians

So they turned it back around on the victims. "Jay" was a negative slang at the time for someone who was a gullible rural person.

Listen folks, Pam Bondi was Attorney General of Florida from 2011 to 2019 so she's been covering up Epstein's crimes for a loooooong-ass time

The gynecologist listed in the Epstein files is why the rest of us are losing access to abortions. That’s precisely where trump got his ‘post-birth abortion’ story.

with alt text, because everyone needs to be able to read this 😭

My understanding is the man who raised his hand did it on behalf of his sister who had committed suicide.

Bondi Declines to Directly Apologize to Epstein Victims The Attorney General refused to apologize for the DOJ's handling of Epstein's case when pressed during House testimony.

My understanding is they asked victims who had not been able to meet with the Department of Justice to raise their hands. The man in the picture is the brother of someone who I believe committed suicide. time.com/7377755/bond...

Who knew curling could be this nailbiting?

It’s day 70 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

ICE continues to terrorize our neighbors, there are still 2,000 agents here, even as the attention of the world has moved on.

When we say ICE OUT, we mean ICE out everywhere.

‘He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

As it will soon be Spring Training:

"I'm beginning to see Brooks [Robinson] in my sleep,” [Sparky] Anderson said afterwards. “If I dropped a paper plate, he'd pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first.”

Apparently the way to pitch to Hank Aaron was to make sure no one else was on base.

We already know Trump is a racist That's not new.

Hell, even George W. Bush speaks some Spanish. It's not that unusual to speak Spanish.
