Oh, BTW, if I get a “Hey there” or similar DM after a follow back, you’re getting blocked.

Nah. Water carriers on FB making excuses for him left and right when I point out Truman’s WH was literally falling in and he was still rejected when asking permission. (Text from David McCullough’s Truman bio.)

My husband goes to protests with me because he cares deeply about our country but also because he knows that I *think* that I am the she-ro in the polka dot dress but I have no fighting skill to back that up so I would just end up tased in a fetal position on the pavement.

ICE tries it with NYC. Canal Street wasn’t having it.

Right?!? A two or three mile walk in broad daylight!?!

I was thinking that merely spraying it with hose water is not going to keep the asbestos fibers tamped down.

Truman’s approval was at 40 percent. Unpopular as hell and nobody wanted him messing with the White House even though it was ancient and about to fall in.

Reading through David McCullough’s Truman bio to remember what Truman went through to basically keep the damn White House standing.

Exactly. Lazy-ass reporting.

Auntie Begonia @slackermom66.bsky.social · 2d

The lazy ass journalist at NYT could have researched that but instead wrote a “Huh. What will he do next” article.

Did I go to bed on time expecting to sleep through the night? Yes.

Did Wally wake up at 2 am wanting a treato? Also yes.

SIGH.

I am so upset about the White House.

I am so upset about the White House. I teared up. I can’t believe he was allowed to do this.

That is some unhinged cope right there.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

We marched and chanted!

Internet’s out. Thank goodness I have a porch, a good audio book, and an absorbing project! (The #NoKings protest begins at 2 pm here in #Louisville. Don’t worry, we’ll be there.)

I like multiple POV, it’s a fun way to get info about the MC/main action or just a break from MC/main action.

@chooface.bsky.social we are doing the F1 quizzes to pass the time!

Our internet is went down. John asked me a question that I cannot even reproduce here.

Me: I don’t even know which of those boxes is a modem. Did you know that?

John: Yes.

Me <gasp>: My secret is out.

A poster asking “What’s the difference between a modem and a router?” That question will not be answered here.
