Democrats didn't do enough to Brett Kavanagh

And if they have no credit cards, they starve. Or beg.

Well, the problem is he's a lying, treasonous POS.

Oh, we knew, and we hated him back then, too, but mistakenly thought he was harmless.

I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of even thinking he and his horrific candidates will get my vote. And even if I did, I would not expect to EVER receive a cent, since he never pays anyone. Also, if he actually did, this would serve as excellent evidence of vote-buying.

I can't drink that stuff - tastes too much like St. Joseph's Children's aspirin!

So many conflicting thoughts and feelings!

Thankfully, nothing in life or government is permanent.

Yeah, when I learned that it really freaked me out. But I'm glad I was able to be put under for surgery!

A very cool new series is coming from Roddenberry Entertainment featuring Star Trek actors and JPL Scientists including my college roommate and Europa Clipper mission scientist Dr. Bob Pappalardo! youtu.be/QCOwkvwYmmY?...

Fascinating! Received a print copy of Entertainment Weekly in the mail today. Haven't seen one in what, 5 years?

I also used to have some plastic cassettes with screw-on caps. Do they no longer make those? They made loading and unloading really easy, but I guess the new-fangled cameras cant read ISO off them, so you have to set it yourself (horrors!)

They keep moving North. I just saw my first in S Mass last week, so it is quite possible. Also, they like parking lots and dumpsters.

I hope they get to keep their guns.

I have had a beard/chin enhancement since 11th grade. Women that I know find short, well-groomed beards to be attractive, and bushy, unkempt beards (see: Boston Red Sox) to be disgusting. Unkempt beard=lazy guy.

I believe you are correct, though our educational system also deserves some blame.

Early morning surprise! My wife actually got the shot but I came down fast enough to see it stalking out there!

I remember Ilford cartridges were really easy to pop open and reuse, unlike Kodak.

She seems a little old for him tho.

Wow, I haven't done that in years but probably still have some refillable 35mm cassettes somewhere!

We husbands of vets know to tread very carefully...

Mike, I don't think you understand how much we all miss Lower Decks. It was a masterpiece. Thank you.

Nice. Surprised WaPo didn't kill the story, but hell, nothing matters anymore anyway. He probably said something like "now I can fuck their wives" too and no one would care.

It depends on how you define "upwardly mobile." The tradesmen I have hired have all made far more annually than I ever did in my white-collar job. Maybe they don't get a chance to be managers and then executives but many own and manage businesses and are very successful.

Why would anyone be proud of this? Awful.

I loved Red Shirts, but for pure laugh-out-loud entertainment, Starter Villain had me rolling. Perhaps you need to be a cat owner, though...

John Kaprielian @johnkaprielian.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Me too! Though I doubt it! Fall migration is tough and the ducks haven't moved in yet! Probably some mor Hawks though!
