UPDATE: she fell off of me without waking up, so I was able to escape and go to Taco Bell before giving her her afternoon medication.

The same cat again, now completely hopped up on goofballs

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

UPDATE: I laid down and she followed.

Me, laying on a couch. That same darn cat is curled up around my hip.

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

I bought a frozen chicken-bacon-ranch pizza at Target that didn’t mention the copious amount of onions (like, more onions than bacon) on it. I contacted Target, they sent me two $5 coupons that couldn’t be used on the same transaction.

The pizza was $5.99.

What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.

And how long has it been?

I bought some bagels at Hy-Vee four years ago. So bad. Too big. Hard. Bland. WORTHLESS.

I’m still FURIOUS.

Mae Martin (Canadian comedian from TASKMASTER season 15) has created and stars in a show called WAYWARD on Netflix. Martin plays a deputy in a weird tiny Vermont town where Toni Colllette is the headmistress of a mysterious school for troubled youth.

So far, it’s fantastic.

You’re telling me they DID come here to fuck spiders?

Yeah, I had just told @sithlet.bsky.social “Hey, you know Mae Martin has a new show?” when I got the Hennepin Theaters email.
