Just thinkin' bout stuff. Photo from my collection, ca. 1940s.
Black and white photo of a little shorthaired tabby kitten sitting on a porch railing, looking kind of vacant and possibly depressed (I’m sure he was fine, it’s just that his gaze is turned downward in a way that would be interpreted as forlorn in a human).

"Gettin some fuel for my vehicle." Shut the fuck up Officer Dickhole.
Obnoxiously referring to your car or truck as your "vehicle" is cop behavior.

Same goes for those motherfuckers who correct you by saying "fuel" if you talk about gas. Cop behavior.
Yeah man my car works way better when I don't put any gas in it 🙄
Asking a chronic pain patient if they're in pain is like asking folks in line at the soup kitchen if they're hungry.
Chronic illness/pain patients deserve a "skip intro" button at the doc's office. Just let us skip right to the room and not have to answer ridiculous bullshit every single time.
I should get paid any time I'm asked a dumbass question at a doc's office.

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Not swearing in the new Democratic rep from Arizona is a test run for not swearing in any Democratic legislator come January 2027.

Yeah yeah, Epstein files are definitely a part of it. But this is the bigger picture.
Describing that looney war criminal as "Trump critic" elicited quite the chuckle.
I have old(er) parts lying around, I should really get on putting together a Linux machine.

We already have a perfectly good means to tell the computer what you want, it's called "a keyboard" and it puts the words on the screen where you can read them instead of praying that the machine spirit hears you correctly

When this regime is over and buried, I don't want to hear about oh it's not worth the money or it's too petty to worry about. The order to bulldoze this illegal and unconstitutional monstrosity should be signed on Day 1.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

Another good way to think of this moment is that the American secret police are increasingly comfortable black bagging American citizens on camera and in broad daylight with no basis of detention. The mere act of criticism, no matter how petty and silly, is its own justification for brutality.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

You ever get a strain of weed that makes you temporarily dumber and then you react post to things before processing all available information? Just me? Anyway the discard/delete button is super handy for acute moments of idiocy.
