I do not understand how anyone can listen to Susan Collins speak, actually say the things she says, and then still claim, without sarcasm, that she is their choice to represent them and their state.

Everyone's making a big deal about that video of Mitch McConnell, but he was as responsive to questions from the press as Mike Johnson is.

I feel like an issue that would connect well with voters would be doing anything at all to slow the current progression toward "absolutely everything now is a scam"

When is the DOJ announcing an investigation into the pool lining installer?

Wouldn't it be refreshing if just once this kind of story would come out in the mainstream press as an extraordinary abuse by the DOJ, and acknowledge what a tremendous waste of time and money these bullshit charges are, for the victims specifically, and the public at large!

Rare case of accountability for the man who decided to give his disturbed teenager a weapon designed to create mass casualties. The guns are the problem. But so is this guy. 🎁 Gift article

Prosecutors argued that Colin Gray bore responsibility for the 2024 shooting because he had given his son a gun and failed to act as the teen’s mental health deteriorated.

Everything of value that Meta currently provides would be instantly replaced if Meta stopped existing tomorrow. Whatsapp, Marketplace, groups, sharing photos with the world, etc. All the good stuff would just move on to somewhere else. The skeevy stuff would have to find a new way into our lives.

Watching "Smile" (1975) with Bruce Dern again for the first time since I was a kid. Any sickos out there remember this film?

The first time the Trump administration was able to find any judge, anywhere in America, to state that it had the ability to do away with birthright citizenship was when it got to the Supreme Court.
And then it found three of them.

The weird guy behind the Reflecting Pool maintenance company, with a cartoon speech bubble coming from him. 

A white man in an ill-fitting grey, double-breasted overcoat with black velvet lapels, black toupee, and black caterpillar mustache, who looks like a comic villain in a Three Stooges movie, with a news reporter's microphone pointed at him

What is this beautiful artwork making me think of? "Knife In The Water" Poster created by Bartosz Kosowski, from Alternative Movie Posters .com
A movie poster for "Knife In The Water"  (1962, directed by Roman Polanski). A long, rectangular block print of a tall, white sailboat on the horizon, against a deep blue sky with clouds. The reflection of the sail extends down into the water, resembling the blade of a large knife.

Unpopular opinion, but I hate pedestrian crossings and I hate sharing a road with pedestrians. They're a menace out here in CA. It's not crossing the street here, it's exercise. Do that shit in the mall not in my way.

Another of the most defining features worth consideration was that mortgage rates went from double digits when I was young, down to below 3%. I wonder how the dramatic lower cost of a mortgage compares to the increased purchase price of real estate as a contributing factor

Had some fun with linoleum printmaking today! 🪶
Four linoleum block prints of an Oriole perched on a sliced orange. 

A glowing orange bird, with black head and wings, and white wing bars, it's legs akimbo on half of an orange and the wire hook suspending the fruit (a common way to attract orioles to your yard)
