I'm not sure if there are simply more bots than ever before on here or that the bots that are here are more lifelike or what. Something seems not quite right with folks; it may be real people in burnout mode. Unclear.

The blame game and the futility dance? We don't have time or space for that right now. Protect our elections and win back congress. For the love of democracy, stop the pointless infighting. That only gives the GOP the power they so desperately want. Everything changes if we can win back congress.

My brother just got back from Paris. Turns out, there’s plenty of support for the resistance. I guess we know at least a part of why that would be. Don’t let angry MAGAS (or angry Canadians) trip you up. We must keep our heads and keep up the fight. We’re *all* angry. Prepare for midterms.

More men should try listenmaxxing. It's this wild new strategy where you gather a bunch of data by being told by the people you want to date what they really want without speaking back, and then working on those things. Nobody's talking about it, but it's taking the manosphere by storm. Pass it on.

Our movement was built for this moment. Meet up with your local organizers and let's get to work: https://indivisible.org/get-involved/find-a-group/

It's critical that nothing undermines momentum in the run up to November. Call. March. Campaign. Educate yourselves. Vote. Don't allow anything or anyone to stop you.

I'm a bit burned out on (MN State Fair) crop art. It used to be like Murmur (or Chronic Town EP or Hibtone single of Radio Free Europe) and now it's like Monster. Formerly weird and now mainstream and loud. But this piece, Guernica by way of ICE, is a beaut and deserves the acclaim it's getting.

So I encouraged myself to do my long walk by walking to the bakery. That's still good, isn't it?

Nooooo my blood

He’s going to issue an executive order stating that he’s allowed to be president forever. Seriously. I bet ten bucks he’s floated that one. Got shot down my the speaker on the grounds of _too soon_.

I think that Trump misunderstands how the people of the Great Lakes feel about our lakes.

So my retired (award winning) photographer brother was dining in Paris last night and saw a cute couple become engaged. The young man was trying to take selfies to mark the event. Yup. My brother had him hand over his phone and they just got an unexpectedly good engagement package for nuttin'. LOL

“Hardly any students saw cheating as a violation of integrity. A majority made excuses: We’re under a lot of stress. Everyone else is doing it. We have no choice. They sounded like major league baseball players in the steroid era. ChatGPT was their performance-enhancing drug.” Gift Article

Family member “is this real??” Me “no, it’s AI” Them “how can you tell?” Me: “a cat can’t cycle that fast, plus they don’t have hands, and why would they be racing to wash a toddler’s hair?”

I find it strange to hear Trump and all the MAGAS being so sad and respectful of a woman who, without a fuss or bother, using actions over words, refuted every single thing they believe.

Truly her memory *is* a blessing.

I can report - with considerable pride - that a certain geriatric baby doggie has been very good about letting mama clean and medicate her ear infection. She even does a waggie during the 'massage the medication into the ear canal' part. She is very brave.

Ok, so on advice of the internet, I watered some bonemeal into the soil around the fig trees. I do see baby figs, but time is now short. Will we have ripe figs this year? Only time will tell.

I would like a round of applause for not posting what I just drafted and thought about quite a bit. You are welcome. <takes a bow>

We look forward to big policy debates after Democrats win back control of Congress! But right now, our job is to unify against the fascists.

It’s surprisingly cheaper to purchase whole chickens than parts (even thighs). I mean, I knew that, but I hadn’t checked on the difference recently. It’s a lot.

Strangely chilly this morning. I don’t mind. I made myself the first egg-coffee of the season. Yum. I may die of some raw egg disease, but I’ll die happy. The espresso probably(?) Cooks the egg enough.

The dog decided to forgo her morning constitutional as some idiot decided to close their garage door and frighten her (may they rot in hell). So now I'm sitting, reading, with one eye on the dog so that I can spring into action the moment she decides she really really needs to go outside. #LoudDoor

If you were lucky enough as a kid to live near woods, was there a 'scary woods' as well as a normal woods? I was just remembering this phenomenon. #ScaryWoods

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine has SUCCEEDED in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. Phase III trial results in MORE THAN 1,100 patients shows the vaccine SIGNIFICANTLY extended the time patients lived without their melanoma returning AND reduced the risk of metastasis.

Moderna and Merck say mRNA cancer vaccine succeeded in late-stage melanoma trial

A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine succeeded in a late-stage melanoma study, results that could herald a new, powerful approach in oncology.

It's kinda funny that carbonara is thought to be a 'fancy' dish, when it's what people raised in that food tradition eat when there's nothing to eat in the house.

ICE has gone WAY too far to be fixed. We need to abolish ICE immediately. It needs to be the first thing we do following the mid terms, and we *have* to win the mid terms to make this nightmare end.
