This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it. - A Lincoln

So.... the lady running for Governor of TN is suing Jack Smith *in* TN but couldn't find a Tennesse lawyer for the case, using two VA Federalist nitwits instead? Do I read this right? @thetnholler.bsky.social

Crazy how times have changed.... As recently as 30ish years ago, someone had to be cagey about their past marijuana usage ("I did not inhale") ...this past week's junk mail included coupons for a local dispensary.

Trump died and got buried at Mar-Lago. A man went to the airport and said, "I need a ticket to go piss on Trump's grave." The agent said, "Yes, sir. Here's a ticket to Los Angeles." The guy said, "Los Angeles?! But Trump's buried in Florida!" The agent said, "Yes, sir, but the back of the line..."

#Caturday #CatMagic
A cat sits in a ray of sunlight broken by a prism into a splatter of rainbow reflections all around the cat. The cat has closed eyes and a wide open mouth,  perhaps incanting some ancient spell?   It looks as if the cat has summoned something in the living room! The headline reads:

I've told my cat a million times to stoo opening interdimensional portals in my house

"Say goodbye to all of this... and hello to oblivion!" 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' made its debut in UK cinemas on this day in 1975.
The "Distracted Boyfriend" meme, but the boyfriend is now Brad Majors from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (1975). The object of his attention is Dr. Frank N. Furter, who, I'm led to believe, is just a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania. Brad's girlfriend, Janet Weiss, doesn't look too happy with Brad, but I reckon she'd quite like a go on Frank herself.

Listen to this king at a Huntington City Council meeting on Flock Cameras:

"I'm not gonna waste your time, I'm kinda hungry, but one last thing. Every single Flock camera has about 2-3 lbs of copper and about 1-2 grams of gold. Do with that information what you will."

Everything about this story is wonderful, from the activist group’s name to the surgical vandalism to the not-so-subtle nod to the classic ”They Live”, John Carpenter’s 1988 film…

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”
