#FolkloreThursday Předzima (before winter) is a Czech word from times when the year/calendar was divided into more than four seasons and it describes the period from Nov 11 to Dec 25. It's a time of rain, mists, mud, first frost, and first snow. Picture is mine.

I feel horrible for Gene Hackman and his family.

This administration now wants the Epstein files released? I don’t trust them to not be meddled with and falsely amended/edited.

The guy playing drums on the bar with a ballpoint pen for the past 15 minutes is going to drive me off a cliff if he doesn’t stop

🚨BREAKING: Ninth Circuit AFFIRMS lower court decision striking down Arizona voter suppression law H.B. 2492 which imposed unconstitutional and burdensome proof of citizenship requirements. A big victory for our clients and the voters of Arizona. A stinging defeat for the RNC.

Welcome to the RFK Jr Era of Public Health.

I am sick about these high-ranking military leaders being fired for no reason other than not being white men. They’ll likely lose retirement benefits after serving with honor for decades. This is criminal negligence.

Am I diverting electricity and/or water somehow if I watch this present-day Parker Posey gif eighteen thousand times?

Indiana just pulled funding for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program for the state. This program gifts all children, across the state, free books from birth-age 5. This one's just fucking cruel. www.14news.com/2025/02/19/t...

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

RIP Rick Buckler, drummer of The Jam.

It’s 2 degrees, I heard my back porch snapping and settling through the night like wooden explosions, and somehow now I hear birds chirping. I truly don’t know how the animals make it in such extreme weather.

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

Another spelling thing that’s apparently been lost to a whole new wave of people: marquee vs marquis.

It’s Lincoln’s birthday. He weeps for what we have become. (Bill Mauldin, 1963)

I’ve not read my horoscope in over a decade, but I accidentally saw mine today and it was so wildly specific it’s like the author has been following me around taking notes.

“I will own Palestine and they will have no right to return.” Congratulations, anti-Harris protest voters. You helped do this.

The entire natural foods aisle is gone in my neighborhood Jewel store. Is this DOGE??

I’ve had a 30-year career in one sector and have more imposter syndrome than the DOGE teenagers. It’s insufferable.

Just like poverty in the U.S. all but requires you to interact with social-aid programs, being a billionaire should require you to interact with social-improvement programs. That are not designed by other billionaires.

I promise I’m not impaired, but the sun seems to be setting sideways tonight.

Democratic fundraising text-senders, please stop sending me hysterical things claiming Trump is “pissing his pants,” “crying,” will “go to prison,” and will be “forced to resign.” No, he isn’t, and won’t, as much as any of us might like it.

RIP Tony Roberts. Once a week I laugh about one of his movie lines.

Now and for the rest of time, I’ll be asking: where are the protests from the cowards who screamed from the rooftops daily that Biden and Harris couldn’t be voted for because of Gaza?

Illinois bars: Please say no to the enticement and false allure of newly available, Trump-adjacent Yuengling beer to the disadvantage of long-proven, similar-tasting Shiner Bock.

Remember how people refused to vote for Harris because they thought she was heartless on Gaza? How are they sleeping tonight?
