I see the Ministry of Propaganda writes the Marshall Service’s press responses too, but pretty much follows the usual script.

Cadet Bone Spurs’ secret police forces get bolder every day.

YouTube video by Rick Beato The 2026 Grammys...Proof Music is Getting Worse

Yeah, I’m a boomer, but Rick is spot-on. A lot of modern music sucks, and no one will still be playing it 40 years from now.

Broccoli soup with rye bread, croutons… for a pescatarian.

I’m sorry for those losing their jobs at the WaPo. Their employer failed them and the fourth estate as a whole when Bezos genuflected to Tr**p. I was one of hundreds of thousands who canceled my subscription so I feel especially sorry for the employees. But not the oligarch who runs that place.

I try really hard to be tolerant of different cultures. But I just spent 13 minutes watching a video on squat toilets, which are common in some parts of the world. Good grief, I just don’t know if I could do it. Then again, in Boy Scouts I used a hand dug trench latrine.

"Imagine if we actually followed the Constitution."

Not to quibble, but “homicide“ is defined in most jurisdictions as the taking of a life by another. It is not synonymous with “murder,” although murder is one form of homicide. This seems to be especially true in the case of ME reports. Accidental or justifiable homicide or two other examples.

From the Fauxmoi community on Reddit: Classmates of Liam Ramos wrote letters to ICE agents: "You're scaring schools, people and the world. You should be kind, helpful and caring like normal police, no... Explore this post and more from the Fauxmoi community

This was compiled before Liam was released. If it doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, you might be just the kind of person ICE is looking for.

Inflation is above the Fed target and a lot of people are struggling. Unless by “people,“ we mean big-assed corporations.

He doesn’t look too healthy to me. Surely he eats a balanced diet.

Yes, Cadet Bone Spurs pissed that world standing away in less than a year. One that took 80 years to earn.

I’m not sure I would trust someone in business whose SAT shenanigans got the University of Memphis’s entire season vacated.

Remember when the US had international allies who trusted us and who could depend upon us?

Yeah, that was cool.

I only recently resumed watching CNN. But I have to turn it off every time that asshole Jake Tapper comes on.

But they care a lot about fossil fuel companies and their profits.

We already know who the insurrectionists are. Just look at the list of people that Tr**p pardoned for their January 6 crimes.

Sometimes I think the only thing that helps me barely tolerate the horrid condition of this country and what it’s doing to the rest of the world, is my herbal remedy. It seems like I’m consuming more and more these days though l, and I’m not sure that’s all attributable to a higher tolerance.

I’m going to call and report a Slovenian “model” living in public housing in Washington DC, and rather grandly I should add.

I also saw Ringo on drums. And that guitar player with wild white hair whose name is escaping me.

I keep seeing news reports about FedEx cutting jobs all over the country. Its CEO only makes about $12.5M, so he’s feeling the pain too. I’m thinking of starting a GoFundMe campaign for him.

Someone who knows more can please correct me if I’m wrong. @ms.now @cnn.com

Talking heads keep talking about a magistrate that denied a warrant for Lemon, and that the Court of Appeals also rejected it. I don’t have much experience in federal criminal procedure, but I believe the normal route would be to go from the magistrate to the District Court judge not circuit court.

From Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe: Death and despair do not have the last word Dear people of God in The Episcopal Church: Like Jesus, we live in frightening times. His earthly ministry began, as we heard in today’s Gospel reading, when John the Baptist was imprisoned by authori...

I’m proud of this stance.

I support this.

CNN keeps saying “China Purges its Top General.” Does one firing a purge make? Maybe technically, but to me, it carries the connotation of something more widespread. @cnn.com

Seemed like a good meal for 17°F weather.

Buttermilk cornbread to go with my leftover pinto beans and brown rice.

I play this masochistic game where I turn on Fox News and see how long I can last.

The chyron said “Dems taunt police in Minneapolis.” Then, Laura cut to a hit piece on Omar. I made it 15 seconds though! @foxnews-mun-1.bsky.social

8pm - While fairly dry now, steadier & heavier wintry precip is will fill in across S. Arkansas and move overhead through midday Sunday. Freezing rain is most likely just to the SE of the city, while sleet will be predominant in the metro. Travel is strongly discouraged. /AO
