Remembering AngeloBCollie, wherever I am.

My dear friend, AngeloBCollie.

I wanted to let you know
(though maybe you already knew),
That I cried when you had to go,
And took a piece of my heart with you.

Aww. Such a shame that Francis died before they could set their plan in motion.
What a pompous, delusional ass, thinking he could take down the leader of the world’s
14 billion Catholics.
Go to hell, Bannon. You won’t have to worry about seeing Pope Francis there.

Alana, excuse my ignorance, but ‘vote no’ on what? Whenever I receive a proxy vote from a company, it’s never about environmental decisions. It’s always about electing a new board member or such. Am I missing something?
He can repeal it. However these companies have boards. And if their customers have a 401k plan you still have a vote.

When you get your proxy vote no.

Hi, Alana. You’ve been hyping the Bad Bunny show for a week or two before the game! I’m surprised that you haven’t said anything about it since. I assume you loved it, right?
I thought it was was fabulous… a tribute to America, her culture,
and her ever-expanding diversity!
When you think about all the hype over Bad Bunny and all the maga trump loving crowd saying ew to Spanish
This has shown me, not only in the US but the world, says NO to maga, says NO to racism.

But yes to a musician that brings nothing but joy to the world.

Well played Bad Bunny.

Not for long. We’re going to release it.
Oh look. An American flag trapped by Ice.

Brilliant symbolism. 🇺🇸
The woods are quiet, and calm, with elemental ICE quilting the burgeoning explosive energy of spring. Spring will rise up. Through the ice. And the shoots of green will stand together to form a singing prairie that sustains and sings and cries and howls; “LIFE”.

I’ve always considered voting a requirement of living in a vibrant democracy.
This year it is mandatory.
We have a five-alarm fire to put out.
Ya know what? I will not allow this asshole in the White House to bring me down.

Besides, we got to win the mid term elections.

Voting is no longer an option, it is a requirement.

They just keep getting worse, Johnny.

Same, Alana. I will be 78, and, god willing, I will do whatever it takes to cast my ballot.

Voting is our civic duty.
well they can try. I am a 73 year old woman and when mid terms roll around I'll be 74 and I plan to go stand in line to vote. It is my right, my duty and my will.

VOTE! No longer an option, it is required.

One of the most iconic photos of all time.
Exactly on point.

So it seems that Trump has demoted Greg Bovino. I don’t know…don’t you think he is being a little short-sighted?

A blast from the past, @johnnyuma.bsky.social.
He was widely loved for his kindness, but I think his wit was vastly under-appreciated.

Four below tonight,
Zero degrees tomorrow,
Twelve below for Friday night…
And snow, snow, and more snow.

Wind chill…don’t even want to go there.

You can walk holding hands, Dan
Slip your arm ‘round his waist, Grace
You can kiss on the street, Pete
They’ll no longer kill your lover.

Little Marco? Because Little Marco slipped him a note reminding him that he was in a meeting. Which Grampa then read aloud.
That wasn’t embarrassing at all.

I’m not so sure it has as much to do with first amendment rights as it does with confusion about city ordinances over where protest is allowed…apparently this is a case of ignoring a police order regarding blocking a roadway, which could mean a misdemeanor civil infraction. We will see.

But come ye back when spring is in the meadow
Or when the cottonwood is touched with rime;
I’ll see you there in rainbows and in shadows,

Putting our hope into a new year requires a leap of faith.
Sometimes, a leap is all we have.

May the year bring a soft landing.

While the widow is out doing her Christian work ,
Will we hear condemnation from Erika. Kirk?
This is both disgusting and expected.

We wish you a merry pencil,
A doll, and another pencil,
A home ‘owner’s’ lifetime rental,
And a Maga New Year! 🍾

Covfefe, coFIFA, what the hell,
How about playing to his conceit…
Tell him he just won the Nobel,
Then maybe we can all have some peace.
