I subscribe to a labeler that shows who donates to elected officials but I also subscribe to @oracle.posters.rip so this looks like my Senator @wyden.senate.gov has a bunch of normal corporate donors but he's also getting bankrolled by one specific Orangutan
Got a little more shop work in today, which included sanding and putting another layer of finish on the guitar body. Depending on the angle you view it from, the difference in color between the two halves is very visible, or almost not at all!

When people ask my nephew if they can hug him he says no 😂 I love that for him he’s four but kids have the right to decide if they want to be hugged or not

Deviled eggs are devious because if you ask me "do you want an omelette made with a dozen whole eggs" I'd say no, that's ridiculous, but then if you put me in front of 24 deviled eggs I'll easily house the whole plate

Good night, pies. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely eat you in the morning.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

I'm writing a book about how to get hit on but nobody wanted to give me an advance
I’m reading a book about rhymes but there is no reason.
I'm reading a book about earthquakes but it's not my fault.

I sometimes tell my kids that they're "two scoops of goof in a one scoop cone".

I also convinced them that the duck that hangs out on the roof of the house across the street was a good luck sign, for as we all know the saying goes "if on the roof you see a duck, all day long you'll have good luck".
What are some phrases you've made up or altered?

I'm quite fond of saying "Take this with a Carthage of salt" if I'm *REALLY* talking out of my ass, as well as "Eh, horseshoes and hand grenades" when something is close enough

I will let you in on a little secret about thanksgiving dinner.

The tourney, potatoes, gravy, stuffing and all that? Those are appetizers.

Pie is the main course.

There's always room for pie.
WELCOME TO THE DAY OF MANY CALORIES

YOU SHALL INGEST

YOU SHALL HEAVE YOUR SWOLLEN BODY ONTO THE COUCH MOANING AS YOU DO SO

BUT WAIT

My grandmother (Dad's mom) used to make turkey stuffing with canned oysters in it. There is a sharp dividing line in my family, a few of us (my dad and me, mostly) love it and everyone else hates it.

I will admit it's one of the few Thanksgiving menu items that is NOT better the next day.
Stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie are largely reserved for holiday feasts not because they’re “special” but because they’re gross actually, fight me
my take on Food Discourse is that it's always ridiculous but it's also nice to be fighting about dumb internet shit again instead of dealing with Oppressive Despair all the time so please keep posting your bad takes

I like pretty much every kind of pie that isn't pecan, but some are special enough that I go out of my way for them:

Mixed berry (this one should be Oregon's state food)

Apple

Key lime

Chocolate cream

Ham, cheese and spinach quiche with crispy shallots

Chicken pot

So I listen to it twice, then?
Do you really like a song if you don’t listen to it on repeat for 30 minutes?

ME [looking at painting of a boy in a red vest]: Who did this one?

ART MUSEUM GUIDE: Cézanne.

ME: Ok... Zanne.

AMG: No, Paul Cézanne!

ME [looking around]: I don't think Paul's here, can I say it for him?

The first book that Dr. Seuss illustrated was called Boners and along with three other titles - More Boners, Still More Boners, and Prize Boners for 1932 - was anthologized as The Pocket Book of Boners.

(In the 30s, "boner" was a word for a humorous or embarrassing mistake)
