Good news!

There's no logic to MAGA's hypocrisy and double standards. Stop trying to understand it. It's a Mad Hatter Tea Party.

I said this exact thing to my husband this morning. It's the Mad Hatter Tea Party. Absurd, illogical, and defiant. We have to stop trying to understand it. They have no moral principles.

Republicans can't win elections legitimately, based on good ideas and policy.

(4/4) This story is told in Walter Isaacson's Leonardo Da Vinci (2017) #LeonardoDaVinci #WalterIsaacson

(3/4) He also told the Duke that he hadn't yet found a model for the face of Judas, and perhaps he would use the prior's face as inspiration. The Duke laughed and thought that would be a splendid idea. From then on, the prior left Da Vinci alone to paint The Last Supper. #LeonardoDaVinci

(2/4) Leonardo defended himself to the Duke. He said creating art is as much a mental task as a physical task. Painting a mural of this scale in this room with this light requires genius thinking and planning. He had to get perspective and emotions and actions of the characters just right. #DaVinci

(1/4) The Duke of Milan hired Leonardo Da Vinci to paint a mural in a church dining hall. The prior of the church complained about Da Vinci's lack of work ethic. Some days, he painted all day. Other days, he just sat and stared at the painting. Some days, he didn't show up at all. #LeonardoDaVinci

New C.D.C. Director Resists Ouster as Other Officials Resign

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, our world-class equivocator, is in no small part responsible for the deliberate destruction of the country’s public health system. Her vote for Kennedy was utterly irresponsible and will literally kill people. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

My hot take: the new Cracker Barrel logo isn't great. the old one sucked. their food isn't great. also, who gives a shit?

Yes! I purchased the seeds last minute after swearing that I'm only going to grow the tried and true easy potatoes, garlic, and kale. I've been disappointed too many times.

I grew this. #PurpleCauliflower #ME2AK #JuneauSummer25

Same! And we seem to need the refrigerator, sink, toaster, stove, and microwave at the same time. I call it the cooking dance when we intuitively step around each other and occasionally bump.

If Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no more Ukraine. If Russia stops fighting, the war is over

Who is getting rich as a result of Trump's immigration policy? He doesn't do anything without a payoff. Justice should not be a for-profit business. #FollowTheMoney

Been there.

It seems as if he's setting up for something big & readying to quash resistance & protest. He's still stewing about BLM because he's petulant.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

My firm represents FBI Special Agent in Charge of Las Vegas Field Office Spencer Evans, a decorated 21 year veteran, who was just summarily fired by Dir #KashPatel. No due process. Fired because he followed COVID protocol instructions issued by Justice Dept back in 2021-22.

Please, not Juneau. We're anticipating the annual Glacial Outburst Flood any day and don't need our resources diverted.

If he's using his Sharpie, the changes should be easy to detect. #Sharpiegate

Trump cheats on the golf course in Scotland. It's on the front page of every UK tabloid. And totally unreported in major US media. Why is that?

It is heavy! Meant to last. I am reading it at home and don't have to carry it around much.

I just remembered #BigBookSummer and decided to finally tackle Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson. I received it as a gift in 2017, and it's been in my to-read stack ever since. A big book is any book with 400 or more pages. The challenge is to read at least one big book each summer. #DaVinci

Who are these ICE monsters?
