A reminder to all authors or speakers: Make sure your bio photo file name is YOUR NAME.jpg and not IMG_5747.jpg or Me.jpg because the organizers will have NO IDEA when they're staring at a folder of 5743 pictures all titled something like InBahamasMe.jpg

Scene at Treasury

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

In today's episode of "Wendy's ADHD Tax" I discover purchasing tickets back in July for the touring Hadestown musical performance on Jan 6. That evening I spent a quiet night at home. Hilarity did not ensue.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Why did the UHC assassin get more press than Elon sucking all of the financial info in the US onto private hard drives?

My new hobby is watching YouTube influencers and trying to spot books written by people I know, so that I can send them a link and say "Mr GooMonkey98 is reading your book!" Except I finally saw one and think that author is kind of an asshole, so I'm abandoning this hobby.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Okay Bluesky, question: What's a piece of advice you've received that initially seemed strange but turned out to be remarkably insightful? #bixquestions

My daily morning routine used to be doing the fake Wordle, Squares and Connections and then checking CNN and Blusky, but now it's just Squares followed by calling my Senators and urging them to take action on various refuttals of the tumor in chief, followed by the Blusky and zen breathing.

In case anyone wants to get out of a place where rents are too damned high and water is becoming more precious than gold, have you thought about moving to Wisconsin? We need more blue voters (I'd like it to be less of a swing state pls) and I'm selling great MCM house. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...
