This tiny monument appeared in my driveway today. The crows or the squirrels may have invented religion.

I've been thinking about end times since your Beast post earlier. So he's supposed to make everyone wear his name on their forehead, huh?

Boy, the 1920s sure are shaping up to be an interesting time in national and global politics! Sure hope this nationalism stuff turns out to be a good idea!

If I gotta be late nights in the office prepping for the first day of classes, I'm gonna do it in style and comfort.

I bought these bear gloves specifically for the purpose of making bare hands puns. As in, I thought "heh, bear hands", then searched for and bought bear gloves.

I just found out Tiktokers have found the word "pooky" and are busy sullying it. It's been my word for my pets since Garfield. Back off. I'm invoking the Michael Bolton rule: "Why should I change? [They're] the one[s] that suck."

The Big Lie concept explains so very much. It has to be bold, or else it could be reasoned with. It has to be ridiculous, because then they have total control over the minds of rheir followers.

For #InverteFest, here's a fictional invertebrate part I made from the series Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. This is Stalky, made from the tail of a Deathstalker Scorpion by Wolf in the show, and 3D printed by me in reality.

I think we should ask them about each of the Four Woes, especially the first one. (Luke 6:24–26) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitu...
A screenshot from a Wikipedia article.

The text is:
"The four woes that follow in Luke 6:24–26[15][7]

24"But woe to you who are rich,
    for you have already received your comfort.
25Woe to you who are well fed now,
    for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
    for you will mourn and weep.
26Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
    for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets."

I think he's wrong about who'd win a fight, though. A Teamster built like a brick shithouse versus Senator Vanity Muscles?

I flatter myself that I am creative, and I've been told I am an engaging speaker. I am an *unmitigated disaster* on camera, and I don't know why.
