This is what you get if you vote for Democrats in November. If you vote for Republicans they plan to cut Medicare and Social Security after the election.

Zen of the day: She read books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live. - Annie Dillard (Art by Vanessa Bell) (via @elliottblackwell.bsky.social
Painting of a woman in an arm chair reading a book in a home library full of them. In the foreground is a small round table with a flowered tablecloth. On it rests an open book, a vase of flowers and scissors beside a spool of thread.

A cautionary tale for mail in voters: I sent a birthday card from Austin to Connecticut on Sept 14th. It arrived on Sept 22. It used to take three days.

When I was there it was surrounded by this giant mausoleum. The rock was far below in a pit. I was expecting a massive stone.

From the New Yorker: “Oh, it’s perfectly safe—we put a kill switch behind the upper incisors.”
A giant AI driven machine. The techs are tiny on the ground. The incisors are located a skyscraper above their control.

This is what democratic socialism looks like.
A fire department in East Bronx needs 750k for a new roof on their station. They asked Mayor Zohran to help them on social media. Twenty four hours later he authorized the funding.

He's running ads falsely claiming Talarico supported trans surgery on children. It ends with "He's for they/them and not you." So why is Paxton calling his friend "they" instead of "he?"

WTF? Even if that was true how does 60 days in jail compensate for molesting a 10 year old boy for three years?

I inadvertently listened to about 45 seconds of it. The song is mediocre. The singer is cute. Seems to me that's pretty much how pop music works now.

Everything I know about the 80s comes from the VCR and car radio stations. And newspapers you hold in your hand.

Yikes. Was that the 80s? I'm so bad at linear time yet I recall that campaign.

Reposting my comment at the other place. A woman I met on a layover in Atlanta 10 years ago gave me one. Too long a story to tell. The happy ending was someone traded me a first class for a middle in steerage on the way home.

Too on the nose: Trump diverted more than $1M that had been allocated to fix the leaky roof to a $4M+ project to paint the columns gold. Then cited the leaky roof as a “safety issue” to justify the spite closure.
