My husband isn't on bluesky and I just asked him if he was involved in Oddessey but he doesn't even know what it is. So I guess this is true.

Snare drum was a thumping good time. The hats weren't dorky at all.

And being in marching band, competing in math competitions and science, geography bee championship. All helped! The drama competitions and staring in a couple of plays in highschool tho definitely didn't but eh.

Hey Oddessey of the Mind made me cool I'm sure of it. I uh um, well I got out of class early one day that was something.

Rolls are still riding cause I decided to bake them tomorrow but the muffins were excellent! Just had a dessert one to help with my post vaccine blechs 😁. Blueberry muffins can cure most anything.

It wouldn't actually be that tough, anything musk sells is easily replaceable. Thiel will be the much trickier beast since Palantir has woven itself all over the government.

The main reason I miss broadcast tv and an episode a week are discussions during and after when it felt like a communal experience. And now they want to do away with what little we still have. They bitch about the loneliness epidemic then want everything personalized and don't get the connection.

Decided it would be smart to get my flu and covid vaccines today. I'm traveling next week so it's a little late already but something is better than nothing. Course now I'm remembering just how absolute crap they make me feel and that tomorrow is a work day. Oops.

And I think we are in for a VERY rough two years at least, in ways that are extremely difficult to predict with specificity. We will have a destructive president who may shift in the post-midterms to simply working to exact revenge on what he sees as an ungrateful electorate.

That me. We still want out but can't make it work right now so lie low and prep is the plan.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

She was for years, maybe she'll go back to it.

And kidnapping them then declaring they're Russian now.

Is he going to sign an executive order declaring it? Maybe Crimea can be US territory now since we're all about encouraging Russia to attack Ukraine and joining in apparently.

Why are they even letting him spew that when it had nothing to do with the question!?

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

no one reads the articles. all of the quotes assume this is because the party is broke because of (spins wheel) whatever that person is mad about today, but the reason they’re scrambling is because they’re trying to run moonshot campaigns in deep red districts they ordinarily would never attempt

What studio? At the rate the industry is laying people off they'll have all disappeared.

My hungry hungry circumstances. Even after eating a cookie bar with dough doing it's first rise 😁. I'm gonna bake the muffins tomorrow morning with the cinnamon rolls. Those are best proofing in the fridge overnight. Might have another bar to help with the hungry. Maybe it'll help my pants fit.

If y'all need more my printer is quiet and I have an absurd amount of filament just sitting here waiting.

maud @peloriemate.net · 10/10/2026

Apparently it's overkill to make muffins, chocolate chip cookie bars, and cinnamon rolls in a single day. But I have new counters I want to knead dough on (rolls), blueberries that need consuming (muffins), and I just feel like chocolate chip cookies. So really, I have no choice here.

The machine did not "go rogue." The machine belongs to and is the responsibility of the people who own it. Hold those people accountable for their goddamn machine.

I just realized the tags aren't on my car. They're at the license office still waiting for pickup. Ugh. And I apparently have to renew my license in person and the next appt is late December so imma get to take a number and stand in line. Lack of executive function rather sucks sometimes!

Dante Atkins @danteatkins.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Listen mine was only expired for a month this time. Oh yeah I guess I should finally renew my license huh 😬. But dammit I've built a whole career on solving other people's highly complex problems so....

It's not hard. Both Yglesias moderates and Khanna leftists give MAGA politicians legitimacy because they want MAGA's base. Ossoff simply does not give a shit about the MAGA base, which allows him to speak with fierce clarity about MAGA politicians. He is willing to bet on an anti-MAGA majority.

Oh man I haven't thought about that it years. Guess I know something I'm watching this weekend!

I've been known to praise mine and occasionally call him a petty little bitch when the load is unbalanced and I'm behind on my laundry schedule. But I'm fully aware I talk to the cat far more and neither is human. Or even knows what I'm saying.

This exactly this. It's why you shouldn't even so much as share the name of a mass murderer. They want to go out in a flame of glory with everyone knowing their name.

Now that's not true, they'll be fine with only allowing one member of a household to work 3 days a week. At a part time wage if course. They'll pay them in company script too while letting you live in their billionaire run independent states.

There's also the $90 to Medicare recipients. And it all comes s a check with a note blaming Democrats. So yeah basically all bribes and attempts to influence the election. It's awesome huh 😭. Stupid country.

Oh right, that offset the uh wait what % increase in gas and grocery costs. And how much healthcare has gone up. Yeah definitely feels like I'm feasting. Or maybe being feasted upon.

Do you have an aca insurance plan where you lost the extended tax credits this year? If not sadly you won't. If you do ouch sorry that sucked for everyone impacted.

120

Didn't he say they'd get the money in a couple days last time? And also um it's him taking money in a surplus fund that should offset when it's a deficit and sending it to try and offset his horrible cut the aca credits decision since he knows how unpopular it was.

I appreciate that at least this crowd didn't cheer the moment he said let them hit xyz Californian city. Probably because they knew how bad it had looked last time tho

000

Yeah Oregon and Washington may need to be west of the cascades only, but we'll see. The bulk of the population is in the western part of the state so they may not get a choice.

000

Sold, either that or we team up with Canada. But just take the west coast independent, I'm down.

Um, that's not how it works? It'll be a whole new congress, Johnson can't decide not to seat it because he won't be majority leader. Can fuck with a temporary replacement or someone elected in the middle of a term. Would likely be illegal but he could try. A whole new congress though? Nope!

000

Because it's his only policy that might actually make people think the admin is doing something useful? Giving them free money and stuff.

000

So the government giving everyone money is...capitalism. Got it.

000

They can afford to mitigate any problems for themselves so fuck everyone else. Even their own kids/grandkids. Plus climate change means oil shouldn't be the hot thing and the overlap between republican leadership and oil/gas company leadership is immense. Need some windmill billionaires I guess.

Honestly every time I see a photo of her I'm more and more certain she has some serious body image issues. She used to look normal!

I too have a huge trade deficit with the grocery store. They have bought absolutely nothing from me and it's outrageous! I'm going to add a 50% tariff to all purchases I make because that'll show them!

0113

That's Not How It Works! That's Not How Any Of This Works!

Exactly how many swiss watches are billionaires buying that cutting off all trade would save 40 billion? Also um....that's not how that works. That's not how any of this works.

The way she kept turning her body to the side is me when plus sized and in group photos trying to look slimmer. I think she's got some serious body image issues. And bad hair/clothing taste.

What's truly sad is somehow her hair was more modern 20 years ago and now looks like she found an early 90s wormhole. I generally refuse to make fun of someone's appearance but that's a choice and choices are fair game.

I'm fairly certain he can do whatever he wants though. He does keep telling us that.
