This is a real post from the Department of Homeland Security.
They are enticing lunatics who want to be judge, jury, and executioner to join ICE.
This is beyond depraved.

Ketchup!? FAKE NEWS!
Johnson has proven to be merely a sycophantic extension of Trump in the House.
If Republicans had a problem with that: They've had since October 2023 to do something about it.
Don't get me wrong: It would be an amazing sign to see him ousted, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Mash-ups are awesome, D&D doodles are awesome, so combined it's exponentially awesome.
Here's my (old) rehash of good ol' Trogdor!

The thing I was looking for was a befouled children's coloring page, also from 15 years ago, which had been intended to be Tigger disliking honey but that's too boring.
So Tigger murdered a snowman and doesn't like blood instead
So yes, I've pretty much always been like this, thank you for asking.

15y ago I came up with the concept of Copro, the ghost of a pet rock (killed when a piece of paper fell on him) for my Loneliest Tentacle character.
I drew a doodle but forgot to put him in a real cartoon, found it looking for something else.
Copro (2010) looks like Curdis (2018) from @culvers.com

Christmas is mostly handled.
The basement is looking less like a mess though there’s going to be a lot of work.
Interviews this week. Hearing back with what I hope is good news from the IAM job last week.
Looking more like actual justice is possible over the Venezuela boat murders.
Outlook OK?

I have since cleaned my lens but I'll be damned if this shot on the way home from our weekly grocery pick-up wasn't amazing.
Sadly the rest of the eve was less so as tonight resulted in a cancelled D&D sesh (rescheduled to next week)
We're prob at 60% for session runs.
Yay adulthood!

A smattering of photos of non-political things including some #CatsOfBluesky in the form of sleepy kittens, our annual #Thanksgiving spiced peaches, and a photo of Mrs. T and I are the #MNF packers and eagles game.
Trying to snap out of the blahs from the last couple of weeks.
More sun lamp time!

This is the strangest timeline on top of being one of the worst.
My usual “I’m alive!”
The absurdity of normal tasks has diminished following the advice of a friend:
“How much worse would all this be if you were hungry and had no clean underwear?”
Touché.
Here’s a mostly followed menu, a sexy but too spicy for Mrs. T taco, and my increasingly cuddly kittens.

Imagine calling someone else “piggy” while you are standing there with a loaded diaper — literally sitting in your own filth.
Reminds me of a joke.

A: Eh. Depends.

The other thing I've come across lately that speaks to some of what I've gone through is this list regarding "Complex PTSD"
Which *feels* an overblown statement but at the same time it's also shockingly accurate.
Especially:
-Overexplaining
-Overapologizing
-Blanking mid convo
-Alone in a crowd

A little geomagnetic storm action from around the ol’ domicile.
#NorthernLights (well, barely)
Light pollution and cloud cover conspire against shots from home, but the fact I can see it (with digital assistance) is nice enough.

On the way north for Monday Night Foozball, meeting the rest of crew in Manitowoc.
Which sounds like a magic word
Here are a slew of pictures from the weekend that aren’t politics or cartoons.
1. Goose and Anathema sharing
2. Needy Goose
3. Perfectly browned chicken
4. Condom machines still exist
