A youth (late teens/early twenties) was guessing bands on YouTube. Said Radiohead but the band was Weezer. Host said, “Close!! Same vibe!”

Am I wrong to make stankface to this answer? Like… no; they’re not close nor are they the same vibe.

I grew up around church folk who claimed the civil war was about states’ rights and not slavery (Narrator: “It was about states’ right to own slaves.”), but many of the same church folk are part and parcel with this administration’s tyranny.

Twice in less than a week, I have seen artists’ renderings of Stephen King and my brain interpreted them instead as Janet Reno. What did Janet do to my brain as a child that imprinted her so strongly on my psyche?

This says far more about me than it does about the art I saw.

How am I just learning that emperor penguins can be like 4’ tall?? Holy shit, I want to stand next to one. Safely. Primarily for them. I would accept harm from a 4’ penguin.

@michaelrholmes.bsky.social Hey! I don't know if you check this account anymore but you and family have been on my and John's minds. Hope you're doing well. Much love to you and yours from ours.

For as much as they claim to hate communism, they’re certainly taking a lot of pages out of the Soviet Union’s playbook.

Monica's back! 😀
And still on the good side!
🔥🔥🔥🔥

Passed a car stopped in the middle of the lane today in a residential area. Driver started to creep forward as a I passed and then followed me through a couple turns. True crime instincts had me on hyper alert but it was fine. Why do I give myself anxiety triggers for fun??

Elevated and singing the Full House theme song:
J&Me: 🎶”The milkman, the paperboy—“🎵

J: 🎵“—even MTV!”🎶
Me: “—the evening T—what?”
J: 🎶“And even MTV.”🎵
Me: 🤔 “*The eve-en-ing TV.”
J: “Look it up.”
Me: “If you’re right…😤”

In speculative language development news: I feel like the invention of the transporter would lead to a steep decline in the casual use of "wish you were here" as a message sign off.

Do you? Better be sure, I'm a poured coffee and button push away, friendo.

Regardless of holding to what I feel are progressive ideals, I both drink milk and enjoy the taste of original Pepto Bismol, so let that temper your expectations of me accordingly.

I’ve been watching a lot of “I Like to Watch” on the Still Watching Netflix channel on YouTube. Netflix’s caption department has been killing it for a few years now, but here’s some of my favorites from this show, 🤣.

The Sears Tower looking insanely creepy during a blackout, including the impression of a scary face topped by a crown of spikes. It looks like a giant humanoid evil robot or a demonic Minecraft creature.

"It's ok, honey. The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout won't hurt you!"

The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout:

Mario Kart World is so much better than I hoped it would be. I’ve had so much fun and having finished all the cups, I feel like I have barely scratched the surface of the content available.

This may have been said before, but @trixiemattel.bsky.social ‘s voice, humor, mannerisms, and (out of drag) looks are a blend of Ryan Reynolds and Dan Levy in the best ways. Y’know, maybe it’s the edible, but I’m gonna die on this hill. I’ve lived a good life 😂.

A montage of photos showing Trump with Epstein and women who have accused him of assault. It reads, “instead of waiting for a list, what if we just believed women?”

Sharing this from Facebook.

So many women I know would agree with this. I am welling up with tears based on stories I have heard where women were not supported and/or doubted, even many years later.

My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.

And infamous “Christian” financial “advisor” D*ve R*msey includes off-shore tax sheltering as a must in his FPU program. Guess that whole thing Christ said about “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s” was only applicable to poor folk.

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

One of my favorite Coen offerings.

June 2nd was the halfway point of the year.

That means as of June 3rd, we are closer to 2050 than the year 2000 🫠

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

We have always been here.

Happy first day of Pride, beloved. 🏳️‍🌈 Stay safe. Take care.

More proof that these “Christians” only care about the unborn and promising you an eternity after death. The in-between bits? Nah, they don’t give a watery shit about the living.

Hey, let's outlive these ghouls ok? Let's witness their demise together

I've had a weird installation issue with Microsoft Mahjong for quite awhile and only just fixed it. Interesting that ALL the ads before and during matches are for: alzheimers, erectile dysfunction, age-related memory issues, orthopedic shoes for age 60+ and SS/Medicare. How old does MS think I am? 😅

4 new words added to the script. I want my lawyer. Every day is shut the fuck up Friday

We know. They gave you immunity.

Day 2 of weight training with my partner. Torso day; feeling pretty good about these numbers and glad I remembered to turn on my monitor, lol.
