Much as I want Tangerine Idi Amin to be gone, I'm horrified thinking about the jamokes who'd be next in the line of succession: JD Vance, followed by Mike Moses Johnson, Chuck Grassley, and then - according to Mr. Wikipedia - "Cabinet secretaries depending upon eligibility."

Doing battle w rural townsfolk on FB who can't grasp the repercussions of a 50-yr home mortgage. Best I've got: "Homeowners being able to pass on homes to their heirs is the only way most of future generations can accumulate wealth. A 50-yr mortgage takes that away and replaces wealth with debt."

Seeing last night's election results cross-country? I don't think Trump'll be able to build his bunker fast enough.

I guess abt 500 ppl at my small SW NM town's #NoKings protest. Inflatables, all kinds of costumes & good doggos, light LE presence, good motorist feedback. No counter protestors, just one pudgy white truck passenger yelling a weak drive-by "Trump 2028" out the window. The Steampunk Catrina is me.

Rebuilding from scratch a 501c3's new website w/i 30 days bc the old hosting co. is shutting down + fixing treasurer's failures w/ annual reporting + amending originating documents, all at same time. I understand folks who quit work, run off into deep woods, live in a shack, & write manifestos.

Anyone heard lately from any trump? Seems all quiet from Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Lara? Melania's functionally illiterate in English so she gets a pass but not much noise from the rest of that clan....

I love birds. But I suck at most ID. If a raptor or a seagull doesn't wear a T-shirt, name tag, or placard, I dunno WHO they are

Every time I see a pic of 47's shitty makeup, I wonder: does he just put a shower cap on to cover his hair & ears & then just faceplants into a big bowl o' bronzer?

I've said it before: if in your bsky profile you're so insecure that you need to threaten the world you'll block anyone who crosses you? I'll save you the trouble.

Could we please stop calling the US's newest concentration camp Alligator Alcatraz? Alcatraz held convicts after they'd had due process. This? Is Alligator Auschwitz. Or Gator Gulag if you prefer.

If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you need—just don't pass the bill!
Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't?
This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.

Is it just me or does anyone else look at Marco Rubio's eyes and see someone who may soon slash his own wrists? Protip, Marco: it's down the road, not across the street.

2 days post-op for cataract surgery on eye #2, this one with an Apthera lens for near-distance vision and holy fark I can already read laptop screen clearly & phone screen sorta-clearly. Eventually when things settle, may still need 1+ diopters for prolonged reading but bifocals no longer necessary!

Some time ago there was a thread asking what terms would be practical to use for dating items, other than "BC/AD" or "BCE/CE." I just found one in the wild: "X calendar years before present," abbreviated "X cal yrs BP." So, e.g. "2000 BC" becomes "4025 cal yrs BP." FWIW. #archaeology

In these moments, I'm not as interested in whatever toxic cocktail of bad theology, racism, fear, nationalism, and life experience has created your responses as I am in helping people who are made vulnerable by your responses.
