I think the absolute best punishment for Donnie for what he's done would be to make him stand in the center of an enormous arena filled with all the people he's hurt, and they just point and mock and jeer and laugh at him for a long, long time. A long time.

[Verse 5: Eminem]
Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his half cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye
(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages),
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.

anole I assume? I myself think they're cute and love 'em. I grew up with them on the Texas coast. I can't advise on how to safely catch & relocate, because it's one of those things that I just know how to do, but can't explain. most likely it'll find its way out.

sitting on my front porch drinking a tasty Texas pilsner and watching the rain and … it feels just like Costa Rica, where I’ll be starting Sunday. guessing the temp is about 75°F

after I finished laughing (which took a minute), I clicked on it. here's the full text. oh jeez, is their targeting wrong. I mean, yeah, I'm white AF. but ... they are barking up the wrong burning cross (or whatever the right phrase is).
full text from the same number in the replied-to skeet.  it reads

good morning!
Predawn at my swimming hole in the river behind my house. It’s wooden steps leading down to water, with a silhouetted cypress - I call him Old Man Cypress - hanging over a mirror smooth river reflecting a pastel glowing sky.

it’s been a long, record hot, dry summer (since early July). when the rains come, I can finally switch the house off City water and back to rainwater, which I did yesterday.
Austin forecast. Two more days of excruciatingly hot temps and then it starts to moderate. the forecast says 100% chance of rain on Thursday and 90% on Friday. A cylindrical metal tank about 2m tall and 2m diameter behind a house. Two covered kayaks on a stand against the fence.

friend reports "I was walking in downtown San Antonio on Sunday, headed to the Gus's Fried Chicken to get lunch. I saw this tiny but hilarious sticker stuck to a light pole."
picture of just part of a metal light pole at about eye level, an empty road behind it.

a red, postage-sized sticker is affixed to the pole.  the text is pretty tiny, but if you zoom in (or have great eyes) you can see that it reads in all caps "Trump is a pedo"

I never use them either, not least because of the noise. but your post also makes me feel less like a weirdo for the pocket napkin. thank you!
Tweet from me from 12/25/21

I keep a paper towel in my pocket - for really anything - until it becomes too dirty to reuse.
It's a habit I developed from camping, and now I do it at home.
I realize I am probably the only person who does this and you may think I'm a weirdo. I am at peace with this.

I wonder who’d win in a head to head court battle: Campos or Komie? unclear.
Infamous Austin billboard for injury lawyer David Komie who sports dreads and the tagline is “the attorney that [sic] rocks” because he does front a metal band (sounds roughly like 90s Ozzy). My bad has played a couple of shows w his and he was real cool.
