everything is awful, but my new Dungeon Crawler Carl hausflag came today and it's making me feel some better about the world

A big couch-sized flag is Dungeon Crawler Carl themed! It reads:
- in this house we believe -
mongo is appalled
gods are less powerful than you think
corporate overlords can eat shit
they will not break us
live, laugh, launch magic missiles
viva la revolucion, carl
but for real, mongo is appalled

I tried a couple of new questions, started getting this garbage, and then tried the original again lol somebody fucked up

Andrea tries asking American.gov other questions, including repeating the "is donald trump an adjudicated rapist" question, and now the response is: "I provide official information about U.S. government services and programs. I do not answer questions about a person’s private life or political rumors.

If you have a question about a federal benefit, agency, or how-to step, ask that and I can help."

I asked America.gov whether Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist and it responded: basically, yes so that clears that up at least

Andrea's prompt for America.gov reads "is donald trump an adjudicated rapist" and the bot response is:

In civil litigation brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, a federal jury found Donald Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding damages.

Regarding the specific legal term:

The jury did not find him liable for "rape" under the narrow legal definition used in New York penal law at the time, but instead found him liable for "sexual abuse".
The presiding judge later clarified in post-trial rulings that the jury's verdict established that Trump had forcibly sexually assaulted and digitally penetrated her, which meets common understandings of rape even though it did not match the specific statutory elements required for that charge under New York criminal law.

dog people: i'm trying to find a dx for Fizzy, who for about a year now has had bouts of what we call "bad leg." Her back right leg (on which she's had sx to remove a cancerous tumor, with some muscle removal to get it all) gets weird and stiff. It doesn't seem painful? More crampy?

WELL THAT SUPER WORKED! Shout out to JVM, a brand-new Resident of the Bog! Thanks to them, I will sing the praises of this California chardonnay that is still very chardonnay-y but not so aggressively buttery as you might expect

a rainbow "in this house" sign rip-off reads:

katia deserves more credit
live, laugh, launch magic missiles
but for real, Mongo is appalled

anyway i had some wine and did a holler

A screenshot of my letter to Talarico's TX office, subj: "Can we PLEASE NOT" and content:

"I am absolutely the heck desperate for Texas to have a Democratic senator. Like, it's the thing I've been working toward personally and professionally for years. And now you go on Fox News to drag trans people???? WYD???? I just genuinely want to know if you hate trans people or not. Like, I've written a thousand versions of this email with a bunch of talking points about how dippy it is to throw trans people under the bus, the hell are you doing, etc. But for real. What is your deal? Do you legit think trans people are a threat? You legit think gender confirmation surgeries are happening willy-nilly on 8-year-olds? Are you that ding-dang dippy, man? Do you legit believe that the thing standing between you and this Senate win is screwing over trans people? That people who wouldn't otherwise vote for a Dem are now all in on the Talarico campaign because you were like sure, trans people are a threat? Do you genuinely believe that? I am dying for an answer. Call me any time.

post a meme made by you (incredibly proud of this)

A screenshot of Bernice King quote-posting a Microsoft Clippy saying "Hi! It looks like you've quoted Martin Luther King, Jr. out of context instead of engaging with the complex reality of white supremacy in America. Would you like some help with that?"

For persons of quick + easy savory breakfast preference it can be difficult to find a meal that isn't a bready which is why I come once again to sing the praises of cottage cheese, avocado, and tomatoes topped with a drizzle of olive oil, everything bagel seasoning, and a pinch of tomato bouillon

UPDATE I regret to inform that today's Beach Villain is Panda, who slipped her leash to chase down a German Shepherd about 6 times her size as if it had personally assassinated her entire bloodline Luckily a hero was able to snag her leash and the big dog absolutely blanked her, Mariah-style

Panda the wee black and white Chihuahua mix smiles an innocent doggie smile on a beach blanket under my husband's legs. We all know the truth, though.

I've spent the morning watching a 10 y/o girl learn to boogie board from her dad and she's getting incredibly good at it while a kid nearby tries to tackle every seagull in sight AND Elon's launch yesterday got scrapped 😹🤌🏻 there's really just no better place on earth than SPI.
