For my birthday, I got my flu and COVID vaccines. Thank you, science, for all my birthdays.

It was pretty serious for Doris, my mother in law. A doctor prescribed Lex@pro to reduce her anxiety and it really helped without making her a zombie. It’s really scary for her.

I saw a production of Sound of Music on Sunday. I felt like standing up and shouting, “I hope you people are paying attention!” Every day is a good day to shred a Nazi flag.

This is Antifa. Which, I guess, makes Republicans Profa.

Sign me up!

AKA listening to the advice of anyone in this administration is potentially harmful and/or deadly. Especially RFK Jr who seems to enjoy it.

Guaranteed

Shout out to Phoenix Sky Harbor which always makes me drive around twice, due to shitty signage. (And appalling roads.)

Thirty minutes per dog? Apparently I am already dead.

Same. Surely there are qualified sound engineers, but not in Durham, NC.

Gotta repost this.

Turds of a feather clump together. What a bunch of terrible people.

I watched this pitch for a looong time. What do you think of it?

And each one convinced to his core of his own brilliance. I hate this timeline.

Congratulations!

Got the bandages off my finger. It looks like it’s been chewed by badgers, but it will heal. The nail should grow back out by the fall. I’m grateful!

Hey taters!

The short version: What isn’t?

The NYT’s incessant sane washing of Trump and bashing of Biden got this malevolent turtle on his post.

RFKJr’s entire family is spinning in their graves, except Joe who was also a piece of shit.

ICE and FBI agents have apparently been just waiting for their chance to be the new brownshirts.

I feel that way about cream cheese in sushi. NO.

Got my ortho check up on my mangled finger this week. Everything looks good. Once the sutures dissolve, I’ll just have to wait for my nail to grow back out.

Well, I got ready for the weekend by catching my finger in a hedgetrimmer. Happily, I didn’t lose any pieces but I got pretty mangled. As a public service I will not post photos. (Should be all better in a couple of months.)

A scene from the 1960s series Get Smart with four characters under the Cone of Silence.

“Currently clean on OPSEC.”

That is a Herculean level of self restraint. Respect.

I hear ya. Fucking greedheads.

These assholes.

The GOP voter base has never seen that connection. My local Trump voter is pissed that he is increasing the deficit. My dude, they do that Every. Single. Time.

After decades of readership, I’ve finally unsubbed the Washington Post and the NY Times. (Long overdue.) Any recommendations for actual news reporting?
