Trump fucking up our relationship with Canada is strikingly like having your alcoholic mom pick a fight with the neighbor. Suddenly you’re no longer allowed to play with their kid anymore and you get to listen to your mom bitch about it all summer.

Putin relying on Trump/Musk to inject what is essentially oligarchic malware into our democracy.

Didn’t even need those silly old nukes to take us down after all. Just the threat of open windows and tall buildings.

😐

Going shopping during the game.

I need to hit the library.

I've been reading a bit about Kansas City while it was under the control of Big Jim Pendergast and later his little brother, Boss Tom Pendergast. Insightful, if you wonder what happens when politics, crime and violence mix. I don't know yet how this town managed to pull out of that morass. Today I was learning about two kidnappings of wealthy women.

Big boss men. Do not like.

@FlashMobOfOne
That is true grandma behavior! A+

Oh, boy. Here comes the inflation.

Crackin’good headache to start off the year.

Look, autocorrect…

Dropping a “g” for comic effect is a Thing.

Replacing it with an apostrophe is Correct.

If you keep fightin’me over it, I will keep squishin’allmywordstogether.

So stop fuckin’with me.

Musk does not give a fuck everyone is leaving X. He never meant to RUN it, he meant to RUIN it. He did that long ago.

Empowered by all the people who couldn’t bring themselves to leave, he’s onto his next project. He might as well be carrying that infamous sink into our government.

So, no, I can’t get excited that big entities are finally leaving X. Thanks for nothing.

I do wish my adrenaline would slow down. It's like the valve is stuck open.

@WarnerCrocker
It's a mean one, but I'm glad you got it!

The gulf is so warm, Helene picked up water until the last minute. Those predictions of 15-20 foot surge floods on the Florida coast were terrifying, but at NO TIME did it even occur to me this storm could go on to dump 3 feet of rain (!) in one go over states further north. It literally washed places clean off the map.

If you haven’t already, it’s time to add “death by flood” to your great big wheel of possibilities no matter where you live.

A day late and a dollar short for Caturday: Our newly-adopted rescue-kitty!

‘Sup?

@JamesWNeal
Exactly. It’ll be hard enough to solidify Kamala fast enough in the minds of those voters who barely pay attention until the last minute. Save those other names for later. We’ve got a democracy to rescue—right now.

Two AT&T sales guys interrupted me in the card aisle of Target trying to get me to switch cell phone service.They enthusiastically pulled out a dry erase board & began writing down numbers totally disregarding my disgusted expression.

"Look, I'm not interested. I'm just here to pick out some sympathy cards. Someone in my family died."

They never even looked at what I was doing before they jumped in. Shit, I should have burst into tears. Does your sales script has an angle for that, assholes?

Your periodic reminder that I won’t always be here to remind you.

@bmacDonald94
Aw, man. That made me tear up with joy.

A frustrating aspect of #ADHD:

1) Find a great article with terrific insight & tips, put it in a safe place and completely forget about it.

2) That is until you come upon it again and again say: "Oh, yeah! This is great! I really need to hang onto this. I'll just leave it here-- in this safe place."

Always: Out of sight, out of mind. 🙄
