I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

I got one of a kitten being at a door, only for it to be snatched by a crocodile.

Diet Crab Juice is god tier. I will accept any and all criticism for this stance, but I will never stop drinking it.

ゆず - yuzu-based Cover Club cocktail

Had to add some sugar to buoy the delicate citrus liquor that replaced the sweeter raspberry I’m used to.

In a personal touch, the garnish looks like a Yu character in hiragana - ゆ

Two yellow cocktails in cookies viewed from the top down on a granite countertop. A curly lemon garnish speared with a cocktail pick rest on the edge. They resemble the letter Yu in Japanese

My sleepy SW Washington town, a hub of Patriot Prayer/Proud Boy recruitment, that tries to be the anti-Portland, had a bananas No Kings turnout on the central stoplight. All approaches were packed with sign wavers and honking cars.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

I tapped into a bank vault to get aid to poor people out the door. I found a creative solution to get people paid. And rather than congratulate me for doing that, this unprecedented action to pay people, the cops want to arrest me for it. They're saying it's illegal.

Leavitt: "The president tapped into tariff revenue to keep WIC money going out the door. He found a creative solution to keep the troops paid. And rather than congratulate him for doing that, this unprecedented action to get our troops paid, Dems want to sue him for it. They're saying it's illegal."

LOL all morning picturing some finance quant slouched at his desk prompting Dalle, like, "make me a picture of pikachu having sex with the Apple logo" or whatever tf those guys use these things for, then throwing up his hands like "WHY WON'T THIS FIND ALPHA?!"

Screenshot of headline and first two paragraphs of linked article, saying "Griffin Says GenAI Fails to Help Hedge Funds Beat Markets. Generative artificial intelligence isn’t helping hedge funds produce market-beating returns and isn’t meaningfully impacting the industry so far, according to billionaire Ken Griffin.

“With GenAI there are clearly ways it enhances productivity, but for uncovering alpha it just falls short,” Griffin, the founder of hedge fund giant Citadel, said Wednesday at the JPMorgan Robin Hood Investors Conference in New York."

Working in the heater for my car. Mix door servo is on the fritz.

But also rehabbed a closet with new shelves/rods, fixed a disposal (including that sketch drain line with the questionable lean) and helped can about 20 quarts of garden tomato sauce.

What a busy week!

They would have done something else outrageous. If Biden had called them out for every other incremental outrage, Trump would not be in the White House.

Yet another color done on the Timbervale Tree Huggers (#BloodBowl Wood Elves, the Athelorn Avengers)

Or maybe they should be called “The Spirits of ‘97” with their X-Men colors?

#MiniPainting

A Blood Bowl miniatures team of 12 wood elves and a few tokens are in the process of being painted. They sit in a group on a black box with a wooden table underneath

I have seen 5 copies of this game bought by friends after introducing it. It’s got such broad appeal. And it’s an absolute hoot!

I take it was a dry read?

For years before he was diagnosed with dementia, my grandfather would rant about al Qaeda crossing at the Mexican border.

Every rant about Portland by TFG makes me think about that. Is it malicious propaganda or a confused old man reacting to his diet of violent TV news?

Did they have to make it personal?
