27 days until the U.S. midterm elections. LFG!

It’s good to see people helping each other.

I’m jealous, Erich. I had planned to attend a Ukrainian Food Festival this month but they canceled it because the venue they were going to use is undergoing repairs.

I have a few pieces of Olga’s jewelry. It is definitely made and packaged with care and love. My sister has fallen in love with her work, and loves giving them as gifts. If you buy from her you won’t regret it, and you will help support the sweetest family you could ever meet.

I’m so sorry. He really doesn’t care about anything or anyone who doesn’t benefit him. I will be so glad when he’s gone.

We know whose side he is on, and it’s not 🇺🇸 nor 🇺🇦.

It is so wrong, and I’m so sorry!

I was thinking about taking up running for exercise, then I remembered Proverbs 28:1 “The wicked run when no one is chasing them”

SHAME: Mike Collins says seniors need to “get off Social Security [and] get back into the workforce” After Trump sabotaged Social Security by effectively building a wall of red tape between seniors and their earned benefits, NOW REPUBLICANS WANT YOU TO WORK UNTIL YOU DIE.

Trump has promised multiple stimulus checks (have you received one?) He promised his tariffs would revive U.S. manufacturing (we've lost manufacturing jobs). He promised lower gas prices (they're higher now). He promised to keep us out of new wars (he started one with Iran). Noticing a pattern?

He still has his wit and humor.

I wish you were wrong, but you’re probably right.

Good afternoon, Yaroslava. It’s just after 8 AM here, Labor Day weekend in the U.S. Monday is our unofficial last day of summer. Yesterday I went to an old friend’s 80th birthday party. I was proud of myself. There was a good bit of walking involved — more than I could have managed a year ago.

Why can’t they clean up their own country and leave everyone else alone? They can’t stand having a successful democracy next door.

Michael Pugh @mtpugh.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

It’s not just you. I feel the same way, and I’m in the U.S. I can’t wait until they are gone.

My sister has already started stocking up. Everything Olga makes is beautiful and so well made. I got to see the wolf necklace in person when I was at my sister’s house in July for my birthday. It’s unbelievable, and the details and the quality of the materials are amazing.

I love Sean Penn, but smoking is the reason he looks so old. He’s 3 years younger than I am.

Michael Pugh @mtpugh.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Oh, my goodness! This is amazing. Thank you so much!

Michael Pugh @mtpugh.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

He’s growing so much — and such a handsome young man!

Michael Pugh @mtpugh.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

It’s good to be prepared. It’s sad that you have to be.

When I was a child, my sisters and I would be sure to get watermelon all over ourselves, outside of the house of course. That way, our parents had to spray us with the garden hose before going back in the house!

I have a friend who told her young daughter that the toy store was a “toy museum” and that it was just for looking!

That’s pretty warm. It’s only 26 here.

I saw this at Kroger today. It’s a robot that automatically scans the inventory on the shelves.

Michael Pugh @mtpugh.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

My sister bought one. It’s even more beautiful in real life.

And their supporters probably won’t learn anything from the experience.

Michael Pugh @mtpugh.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

I will celebrate again when the orange shitgibbon is gone. Until then, 4th of July will be a somber occasion.

Michael Pugh @mtpugh.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

I hear you. I wish I could do something.

Michael Pugh @mtpugh.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Have fun. I’m not celebrating this year, even though I am an American. I will celebrate when He Who Shall Not Be Named is gone. I have a niece whose birthday is on the 4th of July, I’ll celebrate her birthday instead.

Hi Yaroslava. It’s still early morning here in Alabama, but it’s already 26°C here, and we’re expected to reach 33°C this afternoon. It’s cloudy right now, but should be sunny this afternoon. It might be a good day to hang out by my friend’s pool.

He sounds like a MAGAt to me.

Happy Kyiv Day, Yaroslava.

When "homeless working adults with minor-aged children" becomes a distinct administrative category—not an anomaly, but a recognized population requiring its own eligibility framework—you know something is very, very broken in our society.

I’m sick of our media pretending like it’s normal to have a president snoozing during Oval Office meetings then raging on social media in the dead of night. It is not a storyline you gloss over. It is the story.
