I guess Google forgot to tell their AI to also bend the knee.

My husband killed Doughlly Parton in an unfortunate oven mishap, but I'm pleased to report that Doughseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamloaf is well on his way.

A Guilded Age makes for a much better tv show than actually living through one. Literal gold guilding on everything, and not a drop of class anywhere. All while the people suffer.

Maybe "military terror" isn't something to be boastful about. Does that not make you a "terrorist"?

She couldn't even print out a piece of paper to contain her "most dangerous game" style racism. That's bad, even for AI.

I used to sign my name like this until a fourth grade teacher kept calling out, "Cindy?" when passing out our graded homework.

Hail, a couple of broken windshields, and a busted storm window. Can't believe that the pictured tornado was just 5 minutes from my house!

Ok, maybe I enjoy scenic painting.

1) the giant emoji from the twitter feed being projected in the room is wild. 2) why is he wearing a quarter zip AND a blazer? Is this a thing?

I would say that we should bring this back, but I worry that we couldn't sustainably harvest enough trees to print the book.

An old book titled, "Reports on the Alleged Corrupt Combinations of Members of Congress, with the Statements of the Parties Implicated."

By "gang," he means he saw black people driving. These people are wilting flowers who need their smelling salts of the world ever stops looking like their Leave It to Beaver fever-dream fantasies.

I'm a simple guy with simple interests. Happy opening day of the Illinois State Fair!

Feels fortuitous finishing this book today (a signed copy, no less). Good luck to @jbpritzker.bsky.social in doing what so few have been able to do in Illinois history: be elected to a third term. I'm at Gov. Stratton; no one tell me how it ends!

The book, "Mostly Good and Competent Men: Illinois Governors 1818 to 1988," by Robert P. Howard. On the cover are the pictures of Shadrach Bond, the first governor of Illinois, and James Thompson, the most recent Illinois governor at the time of publishing.

Crossing "Attend a day of session" off my 2025 bingo card! While I don't agree with my Representative on all her votes, I'm glad to watch the action.

Illinois can still have a cool flag, if the Flag Commission has the courage.

Fran Drescher needs to scoop this man up for a gay remake of The Nanny. You can't tell me he wouldn't make a great Mr. Sheffield, or a stunning Fran for that matter.

I see people mocking this as 'cringe,' but honestly I think elected officials and government workers could be doing a lot more of this, but in the opposite direction. We have to show people, using media they consume, how the government is working *for* them.

Seeing The Gettysburg Address in Lincoln's own hand was truly a top life moment for me.
