WILLOW was a fascinating subject. I've always loved mountain lions.

I live in central IL, where I'm represented by MAGA Mary Miller (who once spoke positively of Hitler). She posts bible verses every Sunday on her official FB page. It's infuriating for two reasons. First, she arrogantly disregards the separation of church and state. Second, she's a total hypocrite.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

I'd like to feel bad for Jays fans, but they were openly hostile to me when I wore the opposing team's gear (CWS) to a game in Toronto in 2024. People often describe Canadians as polite and welcoming, so I wasn't prepared to have a bad experience. I had no issues at 17 other MLB parks.

It's been 20 years since I read GO ASK ALICE. Now I'm reading this. 📚 💙💡

Reagan's welfare queen trope is being repackaged as "They're using SNAP benefits to pay for their weaves."

Seems like Texas really likes directing hate at the LGBTQ community. There are 30 teams in MLB. Only one of them refuses to host a PRIDE night, the Texas Rangers.

Lorenzo was a one-of-a-kind kitty and definitely a masterpiece. I'm so sorry he's not here with you this Halloween.

My pleasure! Here's a photo from there.

Birth Announcement: three African lion cubs were born at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans last week. All are healthy, feisty and fluffy.

If he wasn't in the #EPSTEIN_Files, a hardbound copy embossed in gaudy gold would be readily available for sale at his MAGA Merch site for the low, low price of $500, or IF YOU ACT NOW, a personally signed copy for the more-than-reasonable price of $1K: Courtesy of the gross greedy #GrifterInChief.💰

Columbus Zoo is offering free admission and parking for federal employees and their guests in November. It's an amazing place to visit.

I work at a rural bank. We received a phone call from a prospective customer who asked if our policies "aligned with his beliefs." He was offended that an employee at his current bank was wearing a Pride shirt. This absolute POS actually wanted confirmation that we were homophobic bigots like him!

I like presidents who mastered the difference between plural and possessive.

I've had coworkers tell me they don't follow politics. Others have boasted that they're "independent thinkers" who don't belong to either political party. Makes me want to scream!

Fun fact: Individuals suffering from dementia are noticeably more impaired when placed in unfamiliar surroundings.

Rumor is that it takes @jaketapper 27 years to regrow a spine like it was Pennywise the clown terrorizing Derry

Something about seeing a black POTUS on a basketball court reminded me of Pete Souza's THE WAY I SEE IT and made me sad all over again.

I've got a bottle of champagne in my fridge ready and waiting.

Thanks for informing and entertaining! I love the fun descriptions you come up with, like, "narcoleptic fart factory."

Maybe they’re just looking for a heart.

He also thinks people seeking political asylum are coming from insane asylums. He was dumb AF even before he got dementia.

I’m so sick of this country being jerked around daily by a hateful, whiny, corrupt, and incompetent man-baby and his obsequious enablers.

These are two of the most cherished books in my collection because they're signed by the authors. They're also evidence that my literary taste might be described as eclectic. 💙📚

When I return from my daily walk, I always think I look cute, and I think it's because Darcy didn't hesitate to describe Elizabeth's "fine eyes" as "brightened by the exercise" after she hiked from her house to Bingley's. But then I look in the mirror. 📚💙

Michael Kosta doesn’t know much about Trump’s ballroom architecture, but he does know about overcompensating for a small penis

Has anyone seen blueprints for the Epstein Ballroom? Donald only shows AI-generated images. You can't build *anything* using AI-generated images. And you certainly can't get engineers to verify the stability of the structure. You can, however, use such images to get unknown people to give you money.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.
