Sigh. I love that there are block lists to subscribe to, to avoid trolls en masse, but some (not all!) of them inexplicably contain accounts that REALLY don't belong on the lists. I check! Not everybody carefully vets each addition to their lists. So then I'm back to individually blocking...

Some folks just think outside the box. Others... well, they don't think much at all. #JohnCleese sums it up perfectly: 'I read that many of the people who voted for #Trump have explained that their decision was a 'no-brainer.' I admit I had been wondering...' #MontyPython vs #MAGA

Through executive order, President Biden should mandate that the FBI conduct background investigations on Trump’s picks and instruct the FBI to begin the process now. The U.S. Senate should use its power to request the same of the FBI.

DYSTOPIAN—Criticizing RFK Jr for his anti-vax opinions will now get one’s video taken off @YouTube. What ridiculous nonsense. Follow @simonwdc.bsky.social for election analysis. He is 1000x better than NS.

The #keto #cottagecheese ice cream turned out pretty icy. It's not totally frozen, so I've tried to break up the icy bits and mix it up. I think next time I'll stir it periodically as it's freezing, see if that helps. It's delicious!

Nancy Mace spent the entire day ranting about a trans woman member of Congress, who hasn't assaulted a soul, using the same bathroom as her. Not a peep about the guy credibly accused of paying for sex with a minor. Disgusting hypocrisy.
