I just had to call public safety on my way home from work for a free roaming HERD OF COWS in the road. Look, I know I live in "rural America", but not that damned rural. Oh, and the dispatcher, not even surprised. She chuckled and asked if I could "scooch past them". #Midwest #WeGotCows

Holy hell. We've lived in our house for almost six years and until just now neither adult that lives here knew that both showers running at the same time sounds like a pipe burst in the wall... #AdultShit

Hey, @showmestateofmind.bsky.social have you been to House on the Rock in Spring Green, WI yet??? It might be right up your "road trip to go see weird stuff" alley! Give scritches to Celine!
I have an unforgiving heart then. Feet first. Wood chipper.
NEW: This church teaches that once an abuser is forgiven, anyone who speaks about the wrongdoing can be accused of having an unforgiving heart. The burden of sin would shift from the person who committed the act to the person who won’t let the matter rest. W/ @startribune.com
As someone who never learned to give myself any, why the hell do any of these people expect me to give them a whit of grace? They can have the exact days they deserve. I hope they step on a Lego, and that their milk always smells questionable.
Just a reminder... Once a fraud, always a fraud!
This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.
Because I am qualified to say this, "All of this *gestures around* is fraud. Oh, and if it isn't fraud, it's a financial crime of some sort."
Chief Justice Roberts can kindly remove his cranium from the orifice of the day and realize that he is going to go down in history as having the most corrupt court in the history of the Republic. I hope the Founding Fathers meet him at the pearly gates with tar and feathers at this point.
If Trump thinks he can be an astronaut, maybe strap him in the Vomit Comet? Something interesting /will/ happen.
Shout-out to the Bond movies for making an evil tech founder a super-villain back in 1985, at least 25-30 years before the rest of us caught on.
Beautiful Crater Lake NP. The lake really is this color. Save our parks! Fund our parks! 🌿
“No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested.” ― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man #TerryPratchettDay #GNUTerryPratchett

“I’m like an everyday American who loves his country, loves the sport of hockey and champions my friends when they raise a gold medal and invite me in to celebrate,” Patel said. I bet he thinks strippers like him too...
Patel lashes out at press over story painting him as drunk and AWOL
The FBI director denied being intoxicated on duty and defended his celebration with the men’s Olympic hockey team.

I need people to stop touching shit that doesn't belong to them. Those pens on my desk, no touch. Other people's money, nope. The Eisenhower Executive Office Building, just stop. Vessels departing the Strait of Hormuz that aren't specifically flagged as US vessels, absolutely not.
I miss the other kind of taco Tuesday. They both give me heartburn, but at least one of them lets me have delicious tex-mex/Mexican food instead of war crimes.
The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.
To this day I cannot watch this movie without full body sobs, and it's only gotten worse since becoming a parent. Honorable mention to Brave Little Toaster, and it being the reason I'm nice to inanimate objects.

Drop a movie that traumatized you as a kid.
I cannot wait for the day that I don't have to look at Pee-Wee Himmler ever again.
The real news is the Red states that complied. I direct you to Principle IV of the Nuremberg Principles, to wit, helping a regime commit crimes can still be criminal.
I learned a fun new thing about myself today. Sudafed, the good, behind-the-counter kind, makes me unable to accurately perceive the passage of time. I thought I just watched a ten minute YouTube video... Nope, hour and a half, felt like nothing. The microwave waiting on lunch? Literal years.
Man, if only there was a way, like an amendment to the Constitution, or like something Congress could do about this absolutely batshit old man... Damn.
Trump: "Our Country was unnecessarily RANSACKED by the Supreme Court, which has become a weaponized Political Organization ... They wouldn’t even call out The Rigged Election of 2020 & now it has been conclusively proven to be stolen — look what happened by allowing a grossly 'President.'"
