The photo I was trying to take vs the accidental selfie I got
[when I'm wearing sunglasses I cannot see what's on my screen]
A fairly boring foto that is 2/5 sandy beach, 1/5 white-capped ocean, and 2/5 clear blue sky a fairly startling foto of a resting-bitch-faced white person wearing a straw hat, dark glasses, and two jackets who doesn't realize their camera is on front-facing while they're trying to take a foto of the beach

I bought a chiming clock at an "antique" store this weekend. Turns out it's a "chiming" clock, which is to say it does not chime at all. I miss hearing chimes! The search continues

"This entire White House team has treated ALL members like qarbaqe. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all - appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. Thev don't even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the reqular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms. "More explosive early resignations are coming. It's a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out."

This offers Democrats the greatest gift you can have in American politics: a second chance. I am now an 81-year-old man and I know that in the minds of many, I carry the torch from a so-called centrist political era. Yet it is abundantly clear even to me that the Democratic Party must now run on the most populist economic platform since the Great Depression. It is time for Democrats to embrace a sweeping. aggressive unvarnished, unapologetic and altogether unmistakable platform of pure economic rage. This is our only way out of the abyss.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Statement from Mark Epstein Regarding "Bubba' Reference in Recentlv Released Emails November 15.2025 In light of recent speculation surrounding the release of internal emails related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, Mark Epstein issues the following statement to clarifv a point that has been misinterpreted in public discussion: "Recentlv. emails from 2018 between my brother and me were made public. They were simply part of a humorous private exchange between two brothers and were never meant for public release or to be interpreted as serious remarks." For the avoidance of doubt. the reference to 'Bubba' in this correspondence is not, in any way, a reference to former President Bill Clinton. Any attempt to conflate that reference with President Clinton, or to read sweeping implications into them, misrepresents both the purpose and the tone of the original correspondence. I want to be absolutely clear on this point so that the public record is not distorted and so that speculation does not unfairly implicate people who are not actually being referenced in those communications." Mr. Epstein reiterates his interest in an accurate public record and a fact-based discussion of the circumstances surrounding his brother's death. Misinterpretations of informal language or nicknames in email correspondence only serve to distract from the serious questions that remain unanswered.

This is too good not to share, so here is the alt-text. If you've given up on Moby Dick, you might want to give it another go after you read @calebcrain.bsky.social's essay
"[l]t's brilliant as a meditation on... the problem of having a soul that's inside a body, and necessarily dependent on, and sometimes antagonistic to, other bodies, which apparently have souls inside of them, too, and of living in a world said to have been created by a deity but doesn't have all that much in it in the way of the grace and mercy that a benevolent deity could be counted on to supply."

Years ago someone pointed out bands in the sky like this and explained what they are. That was a long time ago and I've forgotten the explanation, but here they are again! (This is facing northwest, early in the morning, so they are not sunbeams.) Can someone tell me again what's the dealio here?

This one from my kids' Gold Medal Flour cookbook was a family favorite. The dill pickles and pickle juice truly make the pie! I'd use cheddar cheese because cheddar and dill and beef together are somehow greater than the sum of their parts
Quick Cheeseburger Pie Pat-in-the-Pan Pastry (below) 1 pound of ground beef 1/2 to 3/4 cup of finely chopped onion 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/4 cup of Gold Medal all-purpose flour 1/3 cup of dill pickle liquid 1/3 cup of milk 1/2 cup of chopped dill pickles FLOUR 2 cups of shredded American or Swiss cheese (8 ounces) 1. Heat the oven to 425°. Prepare pastry; pat in bottom and up sides of quiche dish, 8x2 inches, or round pan, 8x1½ inches. Bake 15 minutes. 2. Cook and stir beef, onion and garlic in 10-inch skillet until brown; drain. Sprinkle with salt and flour. Stir in pickle liquid, milk, pickles and 1 cup cheese. Spoon into dish. 3. Bake 15 minutes; sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Makes 4 to 6 servings. Pat-in-the-Pan Pastry: Mix 11/3 cups of Gold Medal all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon of salt. Cut in 1/2 cup of shortening with a pastry blender until mixture looks like tiny peas. Sprinkle in 3 to 4 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork after each addition. Mix lightly until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (add 1 to 2 teaspoons water if necessary).

An I-Dont-Want-To-Cook meal that turned out pretty good even tho or maybe because it required more cooking than I'd intended to invest:
Rotisserie chicken shreds
Pre-made roasted root veggies
Instant mashed potatoes
Improvised cornstarch gravy
I shoulda thrown in some frozen greens too
Blurryish photo of a bowl of roasted root veggies (mostly squash), shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy that looks more like gruel. I think the photo is blurry because my lens got steamy from the hot food

Screenshot of TruthSocial post from Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Just in: Documents show conclusively that Christopher Wray, Deranged Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and other crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration, signed off on Operation Arctic Frost. They spied on Senators and Congressmen/women, and even taped their calls. They cheated and rigged the 2020 Presidential Election.

Our little town had a great turnout, 700 people! That's basically the whole town. We posted up on Hwy 101 waving at drivers and had 90% positive response from cars passing by. It was a great event. (If you zoom in you can see how far down 101 goes)
