Just got a text asking for “swing voter polling”. Tell me you don’t know jack about me, because SWING VOTER? I’m gonna dance in the street when that bastard has a stroke. Swing voter my ass.
Me, stretched out on couch with room for labrador to cuddle next to me: “Come here bud!” (Thundering paws) “Wait…slow down buddy…hold on UUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFFFF” That last sound is what comes out of me when 85 pounds of dog lands on TOP of me, 40 pounds on my nuts and 45 pounds on my diaphragm. 😵💫
Anybody in my follows a mechanic who can idiot check me on something? I’m pushing back on a diagnosis I got and I’m trying to figure out how hard to go.
Christ, two peas in a pod, the U.S. and the UK. No wonder neither of our countries can field a left wing roster worth a shit. Wanting a “discussion” of lockdowns after world news covered the Fauci hearing is bullshit. Lockdowns saved everyone’s asses until the vaccines came out. Full stop.
I know a few people here are watching or rewatching The West Wing. There are some great lines. I had it on in the background and hit the tearjerk line in S4 E2, “The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight.” You’ll cry much harder when you see the origin. youtu.be/bBuDMEpUc8k?...

😳 RFK Jr's epic CNN crashout 😳 Dana Bash pressed RFK Jr on Trump's culpability for mishandling covid and the misinformation he pushes about vaccines, and the segment wound down with him getting mad and barking at her like a rabid dog Here's the full thing:
Surprise surprise. MAGA “men” are such fucking cowards they won’t defend their own daughters or grandchildren. And that’s assuming the so called “men” aren’t the ones doing the abuse in the first place. What a loser.

Two days in a row I have had a Siberian Husky snuggle into my arms, burrow into me, and fall into a deep sleep. When I first got her in 2020 she was such a nervous wreck you couldn’t even lean over her head or she’d panic and scream. Now…❤️🥹
Well that was fun. Called AAA since the van was dead in the driveway. Tech opens the hood and HELLO WASP NEST.

“And when you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.” -Matthew 6:5 (NASB)
Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
One purchase I’m enjoying much more than I thought I would since I got it…a Canon Selphy printer. I had a specific purpose in mind when I bought it, but it’s expanded to printing photo after photo. There’s something to holding tangible pieces, after all.
After an odd round of creative experimentation tonight, I think I have a photo project in mind for the fall. 🤔
Remember, you can nullify on a grand jury as well. Anything related to Trump’s bullshit, I would assume to be unlawful conduct by the prosecution. apple.news/AVKVzxWnbT4y...
