In addition to being a couple of friends' birthdays, it is also the day I give my cats a new dose of flea meds. Wooooo, now THAT'S worth celebrating!!

Yes, classic schoolyard bully behavior. Most bullies are so because they feel inferior and lashing out at others is easier than looking inward at the cause.

Except that the older Dem Congresspeople are ignoring them…

Yep, Dems as a whole stand by whomever has the money. They aren't total Nazis like the Reps— they wouldn't be kidnapping immigrants & building what appear to be future concentration camps — but most of them only care about themselves. The younger Dems in Congress, tho — they're America's only hope.

Thankfully, I landed a good full-time job at (ironically?) a regional government agency!

(Ahem) 14.6% in your dreams, if you're a freelancer or gig worker. When I was a freelancer my taxes were 35–45%. During those 6 years, despite coughing up 1/3 to NEARLY HALF my earnings to the government AND NOT earning Social Security funds because SS doesn't pay self employed, 14% seems wonderful.

What's it gonna take for the Democrats in Senate and House to finally grow a spine? How much worse does it have to get?

No, I am not drinking on the job. This is the only way I can keep Mr Shiva Kitty from sitting on my computer while I'm working. (I only allow him to do so during Zoom meetings.) #TuxedoCatsOfBsky #WFHstruggles

Shiva sulks upon realizing a line of wine bottles has formed a wall between him and my laptop and monitor.

Makes me now curious as to who are all the comedians who turned down the invitation. Who knows, I may end up being a fan of theirs.

Just as Nazi soldiers couldn't get away with, "I was only doing my job," the day will come when these fascist thugs will face the same outcome. Meanwhile, may you and your family find strength and be loved.

Thank you, Dr Maalouf, for making public this horrifying experience. To me, the bizarre secretary around your husband's arrest, and even release, underscores the fact that the individuals who are supposed to protect us are not merely following orders, they are complicit to crimes against humanity.

I should clarify that I'm referring to those who God named in his article. TBH I've barely even heard of most of the others because so many comedians in recent years turned me off to stand-up. There's a very fine line between astute, thought-provoking social commentary and just being a mouthy jerk.

Oh *I* feel bad: I feel bad for their underpaid employees who are kidnapped and sent out of the country to jails that make Kafka's "In the Penal Colony" read like a tour brochure. But the farmers? Nah. Come Nov 2026, I wonder how many will still have heads in the sand and vote yet again for Repubs.

So, IBM not only shuts down their DEI research team, they delete their decades of collected data on the subject. Don't be surprised by this: this is the same IBM who supported the Nazis, back in the day.

Hmmm, I suppose my lack of dental cavities (I know, right??) must explain why I tested at a piddly 147 IQ.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of... I don't believe "house" is an accurate translation — to me, it feels more like home for the heart and soul, the seat of one's core being. But I don't speak Nahuatl, so I can't say for certain. If you have a different translation, I welcome your sharing.

Hi Itztliehecatl, current US politics made me wonder how people of pre-colonial times named the gulf. I searched through various tribal websites and maps, and Wikipedia. I haven't yet found this info about Northern coast tribes, but the wiki references Nahuatl-speaking Aztecs.

And is is just me, or does the gulf look like a schnauzer?

Oops, created/posted this 2 wks ago on IG; meant to share here as well. Given that Google & most others still take it in keister for Felon47, it is sadly still relevant. (Granted, Mayans, Northern gulf tribes & other pre-col non-Aztecan ppl likely also had their own names for this body of water.)

Map of Gulf of Mexico, with both Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of America labels crossed out. The names are surrounded by this text: "Um, actually… Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl (Mexica Nahuatl for "House of Chalchiuhtlicue," Chalchiuhtlicue being the deity of the seas)."

@governor.ca.gov I appreciate the intension & strongly recommend offering a small selection w/in core categories, not just the 1. A single topic will alienate ppl who don't relate to it & you'll lose them. You'll get better engagement w/1 topic each re: econ, civil rights, housing, healthcare & edu.

The poise and calm Zelensky demonstrated was admirable — inspiring, even. Makes me wonder how much his years of not allowing hecklers at the comedy clubs get in his craw may have helped him though this.
