Although some folks are loud and demanding most humans I know are just the opposite. They are so worried about not being liked or so afraid to “bother” anyone that they never tell you what they need. Today, make sure you tell someone one little thing you need. It works.

Ken Paxton hung MISSING posters for a Democrat home with the flu. That Democrat has since said yes to debate after debate. Paxton has said yes to zero. Turns out the missing thing was Paxton’s spine. #VoteEarlyForNoKings www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-does...

I love the creativity you put into the classes you teach. If I lived nearby I would register for every class you teach. I was terrible in art in K-8. One year the art teacher told me, “With art you either have the talent or you don’t.” But I believe you would help me learn.

A quick study in advance of this week's class. I'm giving the class a palette with just the 3 primary colors - red, blue and yellow - and they'll have to mix all the other colors themselves. So I did this pitbull with just the colors they will use.

You want canonically appropriate ALT text? You get canonically appropriate ALT text. You're right. This is a lot better without the humor. But wait! Oh no! Seems I don't have to do this just because you said so! I'm so sorry! How about I continue writing the text I want and you go on and block me?
A close-up portrait of a fluffy, medium-sized dog photographed from the side, with the head turned to the left of the frame and tilted slightly upward. The dog looks up and away from the camera with a calm, attentive, serious expression. The picture is taken in low, warm evening light. The light comes from the right and from the front, so the fur on the face, chest and ears glows in shades of copper, orange and rose. The background is a blurred meadow. Tall, dry grass fills the upper two thirds of the background in pale gold and peach tones. Fresh green grass fills the lower left corner. A dark, blurred line of trees runs along the very top edge. The dog's face is long and narrow, with a pointed snout. The nose is black, glossy and slightly damp, and it sits at the far left of the picture. The muzzle is dark charcoal on top. Along the sides of the muzzle and under the chin the fur turns light gray to white. The mouth is closed, and a thin dark line shows where the lips meet. The eye on the visible side is round and deep chestnut brown, almost red-brown in this light, with a small bright reflection in it. Pale gray and cream hairs ring the eye like light eyebrows. Two pointed, upright ears stand on top of the head. The outer parts are dark brown to black. The inner edges are rimmed with long, light hairs that glow orange-pink where the sun hits them. The ear on the right of the picture is taller and closer to the camera. The ear on the left is smaller and further back. The coat is thick, long and slightly wavy. On the head and cheeks the hairs are a mix of dark brown, black and rust. The ruff around the neck and chest is lighter, with cream, beige and pale apricot hairs that curl loosely and look soft and fluffy. Toward the right of the picture and down the back, the fur is much darker, charcoal gray and black, with rust-colored tips wherever the light catches the hairs. The dog sits upright. Only the head, neck, chest and shoulder are visible.

It’s wild Johnson thinks traveling the country & campaigning frees him of responsibility for the ass-whooping Republicans are about to get in November. Mike, we haven’t forgotten about the Big Beautiful Bill that gave billionaires a tax cut and is causing millions of Americans to lose healthcare.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This kind of organizational behavior makes me furious. Someone close to me was bullied so badly by her senior manager that she gave up her management position & accepted a pay cut. HR was aware. HR facilitated the change to a new position, but did nothing to the bully, who continues to bully others.

He was totally impressive. You can tell when someone loves their state: he was ready with statistics and proposals to improve things both immediately and long-term. Whip smart and nice as well. And seemingly unbothered by the bonkers attacks on him.
