He's a bozo, for sure. I'm wondering, though, why you're sharing a Photoshopped version of this image. I've seen the video, and he was drinking some sort of beer (label hard to read). Why share a version with him drinking Zima when the original still is bad enough?

🖐️Not in a million years would I ever vote for that degenerate loser.

Thank you! Legislators like you give us hope.

I truly wish this man was our vice president.

This came up in my feed literally right after I watched Hugh Jackman in "Song Sung Blue." Kismet, baby!

The idea of "paid protesters" is just ridiculous. Like, dude, I sit inside at a computer all day for work and some mornings I don't even want to do that. If it was twenty below and I might get murdered, you damn well better believe I'd be calling in sick.

The proper response to "Where the Hmongs at?" is "Where the warrants at?"

But at least they got a car ride and a cute raincoat!

(That's an NYC flower shop, of course. I'm writing this on the side of a pool after teaching an aqua fitness class. Heard the interview on my way in. Good stuff!)

We all loved it! And now I remember why "Hours" remains on of my fave Bowie albums. Thanks for sparking the memory! #phillylovesbowie

One of MY chat friends owned a NYV flower shop. She threw a little party for the Bowienet group, summer of '99. I guess she invited Bowie. He didn't show, BUT he sent a representative who played "The Pretty Things Are Goinf)g to Hell" for us from "Hours," which was in progress at the time.

@wxpnfm.bsky.social The interview tonight with the woman who got a preview of Bowie's "Young Americans" dredge up a similar memory. In 1999, I was a member of Bowienet. A bunch of us fans befriended each other in chat. The rumor was (since confirmed) that Bowie would pop in occasionally as "Sailor."

Or he thinks you're about the work out and just wants attention.

Wow! That's a lot! That must have been stressful for you both. So happy to hear that he's home now.

That's wonderful to hear! I'm a little out of the loop about what's going on with him, but it's good to hear that he's heading in the right direction. Sometimes, having a challenge that involves creativity is enough to make things seem brighter.

Day two: How's it going?

Yes. They looked really familiar.

Is one of those girls Ivanka?

The Santa Presidency Trump is trying to fix the economy—by handing out cash.

I would say that his "Santa" scheme is more like this: He puts on a Krampus hat and steals from people via tariffs, slashed services, and the cancellation of ACA subsidies. Then, he puts on a Santa hat, opens his bag of loot, and redistributes it. #santascam

I saw an interview with the HUD secretary, who is, I believe, a former pastor, who was praising some church-run homelessness programs, saying they were doing it right. They wanted an excuse to claim it was OK to redirect federal funds to the DJT vanity ballroom.

A very merry Christmas to you and your family!

Deadline is today to vote in LJ Idol, the online writing competition where I'm in the Top 5! Two people will be eliminated.

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

It's Portfolio Week in LJ Idol, and I'm still in the running! Please, please read and vote! therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1214849.html

(I do love your show, BTW, when you're not using it to eliminate viewers from a low-stakes, silly game.)

A green wagon being pulled by an ox on a black background, immitating the classic "Oregon Trail" video game. Underneath it are the words, "You have died of Whamageddon."

Thanks a lot, @elexmichaelson.bsky.social. "The Story Is" you sent untold viewers to Whamhalla. #whamageddon2025

I heard this as if it was said by Dame Julie Andrews. "Whatever the case may be, we all must remember, as one makes one's bed, so one must lie in it."

YouTube video by Johnny Mathis - Topic Wild Is the Wind

Original was by Johnny Mathis, recorded in 1957 for the film of the same name. Much more orchestral, because it was for a film score, with Johnny's soaring crooner vocals.
