the obsession with "retirement" as some sort of natural end state to a life of productive work is ridiculous, another symptom of millennial entitlement skewing public opinion. instead, consider taking "microretirements" throughout your career, perhaps between 12am-6am

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
Adoptable Dog Monday! Miss Perdita took on a raccoon and won, but not unscathed. This is the face of a killer Bella.

Pour one out for the poor raccoon.
I don’t think we can rule it out. Not at this time. The science isn’t in yet.

Human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature cannot be changed. There is a judgment and a feeling against fascism in this nation. You cannot destroy that judgment and feeling—that sentiment—even by breaking up the organizations which develop around it.
God damn. I wish I could like this more!
“There’s no way I’m bending the knee I have left for a king in America.”

Damn. Just … damn.
Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

This is fantastic & never occurred to me. I think I'll start doing it too!

Something like

"I noticed that you use Uline products. Unfortunately, their money goes to support anti-democratic extremism. I hope you'll consider using other vendors; here are some options: refuseuline.com Sincerely, etc"
When I see a retailer using Uline cardboard, I send a customer response email.
Adorable Dog Monday: Tuesday Edition. Perdita is shocked, chagrined, bewildered and quite frankly galled that you would accuse her of trying to chew on these shoes. She’s allergic to butterflies. Adopt this innocent lady today!

On the 18th we need to be vigilant for increased violence and provocation by both law enforcement and counter-protestors, both of which will be used to try to justify more violence and authoritarianism.
Huh? It’s almost like this has always been the goal of the right wing freaks on the court. One might argue that Robert’s life work has been working toward making Unitary Executive Theory reality. Weird
It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.
Anyone else feel a little bad for this warm weather troops? Hope they can get out of here before winter sets in.
BREAKING: The Trump administration sent California National Guard troops under federal authority to Illinois, alongside Texas and Illinois National Guard troops, lawyers for the state of Illinois and Chicago told a federal judge early this morning, according to court records. @wttw.bsky.social

I was on a virtual town hall with my rep @ericsorensen.bsky.social. Good guy. Nice guy even. Wrong fucking moment for him. Super bummed.
Guys, we emailed about this. We all need to take OPSEC much more seriously. We’re ANTIFA not SloppyFA.

I wouldn’t advise anyone in Portland to walk your dog near this building.
We had a few on last year and then a wind storm knocked them all down before they were ready! That’s probably why the National Guard had to be deployed to Illinois. The quince are getting it left and right out here.
Did you try a quince? We planted a tree a few years back and this is the first year it had fruit on. Dying to know what they’re like. Also, stay safe out there. The ravages of war are ravaging.
Listen, chainsaws are expensive. They don’t maintain themselves. Argentina neeeeeeeeds that money.
I know I have less intrusive things to worry about…….but have you watched Aliens yet?
