Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

My 70 year old dad, whose favorite band is The Righteous Brothers, just informed me that he enjoyed the Bad Bunny show bc even though he didn’t understand the words, “it seemed like everyone on stage was having a good time!” So there ya go lol.

Everyone should just walk out and boycott Karolyn Leavitt if that’s the bar for reporting. She’s irrelevant and not even entertaining.

I'm convinced that a sign of getting old is how I keep buying new and fancy potato chip flavours, getting 1/3rd of the way through the bag and realizing I actually just want sour cream and onion.

And this, quite frankly, is why I ultimately chose NOT to go to an in-person No Kings protest on Saturday, because I am a 5' 2" disabled woman, and if some jerkoff pretending to be a cop starts throwing me around, they could kill me, and I have too much I still want to accomplish to allow that.

Overall women of both parties are leading the way in courage. So if you’re giving them balls give them billiard balls so they can knock some sense into their spineless male colleagues.

I sometimes despair that the camera can never really capture just how amazing the natural world can be. But sometimes, just sometimes, the winter light hits those reeds and all those reflections pop... #birds #birdphotography #birding #photooftheday #photography #NatureIsAmazing

Bondi will go down (oops! Did I just say that?!) hard as well. He must have something on her as well. (Not that she has any actual ethics.)

I can’t bring myself to listen but I assume it’s still Biden’s fault.

In a letter penned to incoming President Bill Clinton on January 20, 1993, President George H. W. Bush wrote, “Your success now is our country’s success. I am rooting hard for you.”

Freediving - Wikipedia

speaking of terrifying underwater things: the discipline of competitive apnea

their safety protocols are apparently really good and injuries are surprisingly rare, but it freaks me out that their safety divers are also freediving

This is probably going to demand a depressing amount of repetition, but here goes.

If Renee Nicole Good was a childless foreign national, its still wasn't OK for a federal employee to straight up execute her. Begging everyone to not concede one inch of ground to this toxic framing.

The projection would be funny if it was a movie, but living in it makes it a horror movie.

And remember: Death threats are real. Serious.

It’s all about them all the time. “You” are always wrong, it’s always “your” fault, and “you” are always lying or cheating or screwing up and no matter what goes wrong (it could be a tree falling on the house) it’s always “your” fault. Always. And “you” are a mess, a nightmare. Always.

Nothing showing yet.

I was married to a narcissist as well, 11+ years. Then she discarded me. Yeah, I was a mess and couldn’t even pull it together to get out on my own. Financially I never recovered. Mentally I did better but it took time and I still have “triggers”.

One red flag:

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

"I dreamed our cat (Willow) was trying to kill you," my spouse says to me. Pictured is the cat.
