Google now has Lake Ontario as Lake America (but only for those of us in the US). Let Google know this is THE DUMB. Click the three dots next to "Lake in North America" and Send Feedback. I told them the information is Incorrect and it is Lake Ontario.

Screen grab showing Google search for Lake Ontario returns Lake America and how to send feedback (at least form my laptop).

Known for playing cantinas in evil hives of scum and villainy, Figran D'an and the Modal Nodes will NOT be playing the Great American State Fair, noting that that is way too scummy and villainous, even for them.

Saw this on FB. Needed to share here.

Post from Andrew Nadeau:

Whoville celebrating Christmas means there was a Who Jesus and I can't stop imagining what kind of insane seussical contraption they would have had to crucify people.

All I could think about when I saw the gross Pope AI image. #Ew #MoriaRose #SchittsCreek

Left picture is AI of Donald Trump in Papal mitre and robes, with David Rose from Schitt's Creek making an ewww expression. Right picture is Moira Rose from Schitt's Creek in Papal mitre and robes with David Rose looking as happy as David ever looks.

Brought back some okd political pins and match books from cleaning out parents' house.

Political pins and match books. Mostly GOP (Nixon, Reagan) but also Dem and others (JFK, LBJ. Anderson).

We had town meeting yesterday. There was a pre-meeting anti-Trump et al protest (as I understand it; I work the elections, so I was inside the entire time). The night before, this dude posted all worried about his Cybertruck. He blocked me. Poor poor baby had his ego hurt I guess.

Facebook post from a group showing parking locations for our annual town meeting. The post says "Neighbors have been telling me about Elon Musk protests planned for tomorrow's Westford Annual Town Meeting at WA. Wha tis the safest parking lot for me to park my Tesla cybertruck in?"

My response: "At home"

Town meeting. A very New England thing. Where I have to listen to people not want to spend money on things that improve the safety of others. (And other fun stuff). Fewer than 400 people here to vote on budget and other things in a town with like 19k voters.

View from Annual Town Meeting in our gym. We have under 400 people here.

@nhlbruins.bsky.social fire sale. Brazeau. Carlo. Coyle. And... most frustratingly Marchand (the the Panthers no less.) Angry. This really IS the worst timeline.

This is me with my Artemis scarf. (And then I kicked her off because I was trying to work.) I do have 3 cats. I swear. Artemis just likes pics better.

Saw a post recommending typing "Kremlin Headquarters" into Google Maps. No lies detected.

Another cat and it's actually #caturday. Mulder decided he needed to be in the sink (bowls have since been cleaned. Poor Mulder.)

I know it's not caturday (but every day is caturday). Just interrupting some doomscrolling with a visit from Artemis.

The ADL seems to be on Xitter, but not here. So I can't call them out and tell them to STOP OBEYING IN ADVANCE. Do NOT apologize for Oberstgruppenführer Musk.

ADL Twitter post:

"This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.

It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.

In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead."

Mulder thinks this is a bed. With how often we use it? Yeah, it kind of is. More cats (and maybe a dog!) later.

Thought this was a reminder of the importance of a free press. Not a mission statement.
