btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

They really need to make it so the transporter can't be operated without someone behind the controls who has entered a frequently-changed password. Too easy for individual scofflaws to use it. #allstartrek

This destruct-sequence scene features several super-close-ups of the crew's faces. A rare moment for the nose hair trimmers on the crew to let their fine work shine. #allstartrek

NEWS! Teddy's been acting different this week, dashing over to the porch roof very late in the day and noshing on almonds and walnuts super-fast before dashing off again. She was a no-show yesterday, but arrived today with large black nips. I think she's a mom again. To be continued...

"What is truly not funny is the pathetic spectacle of the United States of America, a nation with the greatest political legacy the world has ever known, letting itself be gnawed to death by the greed in a corrupt system that can be so easily fixed." ---Molly Ivins, February, 2006

I just saw a pharmaceutical company ad on TV and realized that pretty soon the announcer will no longer say, "Ask your doctor if our drug is right for you." Instead it'll be, "Ask your doctor if our drug has been banned yet by RFK Jr. in favor of horse paste."

Hey, here's an idea! How about the media start opining about how Trump's advanced age is affecting his mental state and ability to perform his job as president? I mean, they did it to the previous president every damn day, so it must be good and necessary journalism, amiright?

Stop quoting Trump's Truth Social screeds, media. You never---not once---reported what Joe Biden was saying on Twitter, so hold Trump to the same standard. Make him spew his garbage and nonsense through official White House statements. He's president now. That's how this works. You idiots!

These Republican experts on government efficiency---repeat: EFFICIENCY---hack into federal employees' detailed personnel files, fire whole departments, and then, when they realize those people are absolutely essential for, oh, maintaining our nukes or containing bird flu, CAN'T FIND THEM AGAIN.
