What if Trump aka #ZombieDon & Witless Witkoff were trying to force the U.S. to suffer the same territorial losses they're trying to strong-arm Ukraine to stomach in order to end Putin's savage #invasion?

Just when it was safe to be a "late bloomer," the doctors discovered LATE aka "limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy." If you can repeat that phrase fast three times, you DON'T have the disease.

I may have accidentally captured evidence of the spiritual existence of Mary, Mother of God. She seems to be de-materializing right in front of the camera. You can even see the electric cords that were tethering her to reality.

Anticipating Spiegelman's bio of #AmyClampitt, I pulled out my copy of her @aaknopf.bsky.social's Complete Poems & opened it to this gem,"Tidewater Winter." I love how she manages her syntax here so that it teeters on the edge of the theoretically ungrammatical but never quite tips over into muddle.

This is one of the goofier custom license-plates I've ever seen.
I always thought these were a bad idea because it's much easier to remember actual words or names-& identify a miscreant driver—than if you use half-random letters & numbers to label your car.
Moo! Moo!

62 wolves have been killed in Montana since hunting season opened. Killing wolves is neither supported by science nor ethics, yet it becomes a reality when wolves lose federal ESA protections.
As the numbers climb, how many more wolves will be lost without reason?

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.
Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.
