A dirty vodka martini with 2 olives (not 3) in a chilled glass, sitting on an end table.

After about 6 months of trying & getting so close, I finally made the perfect dirty martini.

She was more than a groomer.

Is it really though? I find nothing surprising about a woman having to answer about men's conduct. The only people held responsible so far have been women. From Ghislaine to the groomers. Just the women
Then men have gotten a pass.

I mean, don't stop at an ounce. You start there but don't dirty a measuring cup.

I think most people who follow me here probably know who Ian is.
Ian's good peeps if you don't.

And even if you can't help, please pass along and follow Ian if you don't already.

Get a bartenders pour spout. Pour for a 4 count into your wine glass & it's an ounce

Bella does that with my husband. Just taps him with her nose, usually on the back of his knee. Sometimes he gets startled if he didn't realize she snuck up behind him.
Boop. AHHH!

Boop is contractually reserved for my doggos nose.

No, thank goodness

This is sketchy as hell.

Blueprint of a proposed ICE facility.

Blueprint of a slave ship on the Middle Passage, designed to bring Africans to the Americas to be enslaved.

Watching @maddow.bsky.social tonight and she showed the blueprint of the proposed warehouse turned ICE Detention Facility in Georgia. Each dot represents a human bring. 10,000 dots. She asked "what does this remind you of?"
I immediately knew the answer. A slave ship on the middle passage.

Maybe it's like the world cup and happens in multiple cities & countries. I don't think the SCC in Seattle can hold 20,000 in person.
Or its not real. 🤷

While we’re debating whether or not Trump called into C-SPAN using a pseudonym to rant about the Supreme Court, let’s not lose sight of how we’re all in agreement this is something he would do and this is the person with the nuclear codes.

Gotta give the kids something to talk about in therapy.

Moose was just eye level on the ottoman, watching me eat a sandwich. I said "Well you can stop staring at me Ms Thing. You must have me confused with someone else." so she hopped down & walked off.
Yes, I speak in complete sentences to my dogs but the walking away was 90% the face I gave her.

Two email subject lines. The first from NYT mentions the Supreme Court has stuck down Trump's Tariffs. The second WaPo headlines mentions 8 things you can do to lower your dementia risk. Are they connected?

Do you think the @nytimes.com headline writer and the @washingtonpost.com headline writer got together with their marketing teams and asked "Should we?" Then they all nodded gleefully, "We should."

Surplus? Yup. I've had more than enough of this guy

How do they think children form opinions?

Can confirm.

Cheers!

Still not a drag queen?

Take every single scumbag Democrat or Republican... we need a world reset without all the scum. Seriously!

You know what to do. LFG!

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

This is a great message. I love to tell new presenters that no one is there to see you fail. They all want you to succeed.
Because if you succeed, they learn something new. You have a room full of (silent) cheerleaders every time.
