Sean O’Brien might as well be a Pinkerton.

“Damn, that zombie’s got really nice hair.” #ShitMyKidsSay #WalkingDead

Apparently there are #DOE staff who are being out on admin leave, not for being involved in #DEI programs, but for attending a single DEI training during the first Trump administration. If true, this is chilling. And it illustrates why civil servants are so jumpy right now.

Can I just say, THIS is how you do a strongly worded letter. And gods bless my bestie for sharing it with me.

Some days, the morning chuckles from listening to Seth Meyers single-handedly keep me sane.

I still check in on Facebook, since that’s where a lot of my school friends and extended family are. The first thing I saw today was this, which a dear friend had shared.

If music is therapy, who’s your therapist?

The way the media and everyone else seems to be grading on a curve makes me absolutely nuts.

They can preach small government from here until Judgment Day, but it won’t change the fact that it has always been about rolling back civil rights gains in the name of white supremacy.

I had to stop watching #Babylon5 for a bit, as the rise of the fascistic Earth government was feeling a little to relevant. Giving it another go today, while I try to finish the afghan I’m crocheting. #TVSky

We will not be free of this political sickness until we find a way to purge the notion that cruelty is cool from our culture.

Musk is claiming the CFPB is no longer.

Given Tangerine Joffrey’s admiration for President Andrew Jackson, this comes as no surprise.

It’s been over twenty years since my Torts professor laid out the facts of Liebeck v. McDonald’s for a shocked group of 1Ls, who’d heard a very different version in the media. And I still get pissed at people for mocking Ms. Liebeck. Facts are summarized well here, if you want to educate yourself…

When I was VERY small, this played on Wonderful World of Disney. I was OBSESSED, particularly with the bit of the Nutcracker Suite with the dancing mushrooms. Afterwards, I started picking mushrooms and playing dance with them, alarming the Hel out of some of my family, who thought I would eat them.

That is so ragingly unethical that it would be rejected as an MPRE question for being too obvious.

My daughter believes that you can name a cat anything. So now we’re discussing whether it would be wrong or weird to name a cat Cipro or Viagra. Maybe ALMOST anything. #ShitMyKidsSay

I have been screaming this for months. Everyone needs to say this every time someone mentions DOGE.

And a contract that cannot be enforced is no contract at all…

Every single person in the Southern Plains needs to sit up and take notice. If you don’t think you need NOAA (or FEMA), Mother Nature will serve up some reminders come spring.

This deserves repeating. That said, the words of Oval Office occupants matter. They impact the international order. Regardless of whether he follows through, the fact that Tangerine Joffrey said what he said about Gaza paints a target on every U.S. citizen in the region.

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

The cruelty is the point

This combined with the “long-term ownership position” language provides yet another glaring example of the fact that Tangerine Joffrey really is nothing more than a hopped-up slumlord with an out-of-control ego.

I REALLY like this idea …

That about sums it up

Not being able to telework any more doesn’t bother me much, but I will miss being able to have my vinyl spinning in the background while I work. #VinylCommunity

What does it say about our current state of affairs that one of my current escapes is watching the unfolding of the zombie apocalypse with my eldest? #FearofWalkingDead #SelfCareSunday

Queen Latifah - Nature of a Sista’ 10/10 No notes #NowPlaying #VinylCommunity #SundaySelfCare

In my reading nook, curled up in my papasan chair, reading and listening to music. I have the windows open, and while I am loving the fresh air now, I am dreading the summer that 70s in February presages. #SelfCareSunday

INXS - The Swing INXS exploded into my consciousness when Kick was released at the start of my freshman year. I’ve been exploring their earlier works, and I’ve been startled to find I already knew a lot of their earlier stuff. Huzzah WMSE? #NowPlaying #VinylCommunity #SundaySelfCare

:::sigh:::: Two of the best tracks are full of skips. That’s a risk you take when you pick up something used. And one of the reasons I typically buy used from Discogs instead of my local record store. With the former I can see the grading instead of relying on guess work.

Information Society - Information Society And the nostalgia tour continues. IYKYK. #NowSpinning #VinylCommunity #SundaySelfCare

The Cure - Boys Don’t Cry Of late, I’ve been doing a lot of nostalgia additions to my vinyl collection. I first bought this on cassette from an indie record store in Milwaukee when I was around 16 years old. Perfect distillation of early Cure. #NowSpinning #VinylCommunity #SundaySelfCare

Do not underestimate the willingness of hardcore MAGAs to endure pain for this man. This is a religion, not a political movement, and many of his followers would happily martyr themselves for him.

Citrus Joffrey’s hatred of and contempt for disabled people is well-established and confirmed by multiple sources. He WILL try to exclude disabled people from anything he can see or touch. DO NOT LET HIM.
