Spring lawn care season is full upon us in Chicago. "Know Your Rights/Conoce tus derechos" signs are popping up everywhere, like flowers after a gentle rain.
Speaking of Stupid CBS, here is David Byrne singing Burning Down the House on Colbert last night, with amazing dance moves from Colbert himself at the end.
1. If Texas cannot beat Ken Paxton, Texas is done for democratically and Democratically. The general election will probably be a pastor versus a serial adulterer. C'mon, Texas!
2. That "1776" juvenile hi jinks reminds me of a dude who named his first four products the "S" "3" "X" and "Y", Get it? Get it? What a moran!
A lot can happen between now and the midterms. But, by electing these trump minions in the primaries, I thing the GOP is setting themselves up for a huge fall in November. Redistricting or not.
Bears? It's bears you want? Then it's bears you'll get. We have bears. All kinds of bears. Big ones and small ones and in-between ones - and I am Goldilocks...except I have brown hair.
Todd Blanche is such a corrupt dumbfuck. Has he ever been disbarred anywhere because if he hasn't then the system is not working. Also, the judge is definitely better looking.
Oh thanks, and good later-morning. I hadn’t even realized the “1776” thing. I guess I spend too much effort avoiding the fire hose. Can this country get any dumber?
It doesn’t help that most of the news outlets rounded it up to $1.8 billion.
In the same way they have failed to report on the real context of Trump’s thousands of stock trades in companies he was directly meeting with, & that his stocks are not in a legitimate blind trust and the paperwork he just filed and signed clearly reveals that he is actively participating in his stock trades.
Like, we already hate him. Why are they so reluctant to give us the full picture of how corrupt & shitty & stupid he is?
Good point. Yeah, if they just stated, factually, what he says and does, it would have quite an impact, I’m sure.
We just had a houseguest here, older, blue-collar retiree and friend of my wife’s family. He’s clearly a Dem, and hates Trump. But it was eye-opening to realize what he and people he associates with *don’t* know about Trump. How much could they *not* know? Amazingly, the “grab ‘em by the pussy” thing! Maybe it’s just faded in his memory? Otherwise, the lack of information is just shocking.
The media of ten years ago isn't the same media of today. Back then they would chase whatever bad news they could broadcast for ratings, but now they're actively avoiding the worst of what Trump is up to because he'll give their owners tax cuts and allow them to merge into monopolies.
He's a thug who bought the paper to keep them from telling the truth about the unethical treatment of his employees and vendors. It should be treated as a deductible advertising expense for Amazon and Whole Foods.

“Mom’s got groceries! Mom’s got groceries!”
Breakfast and ride in one. That's one super mom.
Babby forest doggo!!!
Grocery shopping with the kid.
So cute, I can bearly stand it.
Are we bear yet, Mooooommmm? I’m hongry.
Beware the Grizzly Bear
he'll give you a scare
unless it's a female
then she will
(that was the first one I wrote back in 2014)
I drink brown bear milk because it’s so nutritious. Also, I get a great workout trying to obtain it.
I see it with my own eyes
So I find it to be so
That there are bear-back riders
At fishing rodeos.
LOL!
I've got an earworm, now.
"I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life..."
"Oh boy! Salmon again! Thanks, Mom"
A swim, then dinner!
A grub trout for a cub scout.
The re-enactment of the 'Fable of the Frog and Scorpion' wowed the Ursine PTA meeting.
Go grizzlies!
UBear Eats?
Are you a Dad? Because that is a good (or bad, depending upon your point of view) Dad joke.
I told a Dad joke to my seven y/o granddaughter. She rolled her eyes at me and said “Bro”
*groan!*
Bearly afloat….

RIP Barney Frank
:(
First I've learned of this, though I did know he was in hospice.
Here's something memorializing one of my most favorite Barney moments:

I liked it better when mediocre dipshits in Florida were not famous and “news worthy” except in the police blotter.
Make dumb people unfamous again.

How many people are needed to carry it? Or is a forklift needed?

Out here our urban bears are in tryouts for the Pacific Northwest Bearlet. Performance of Bear Lake is on the bill.
Massie is a crazy mofo and now they've cut him loose. Dude has nothing to live for but the path of vengeance. He's a living samurai movie.
Todd Blanche is such a corrupt dumbfuck. Has he ever been disbarred anywhere because if he hasn't then the system is not working. Also, the judge is definitely better looking.
Blanche finally let his psychopathic freak flag fly freely. Wheeee.
And arrogant. An arrogant corrupt dumbuck.
Whitehouse, fuck, you just never can tell anymore...
I shall dub him Shitehouse for this action.
Oh thanks, and good later-morning. I hadn’t even realized the “1776” thing. I guess I spend too much effort avoiding the fire hose. Can this country get any dumber?
Yes. It's inevitable.
Happy Wednesday.

Yes
"Challenge accepted!"
- Republicans everywhere
Shhhhhhhh, it's possible we can!
sure, just wait for the news dump tomorrow!
<begins drinking in anticipation now>
WHAR gallbladder with that absinthe tanker??
I hope that beeping sound is him backing up to my curb.
Good morning,
Ain't sure why Bezos thinks he needs to do this . . .
After all, after everything he's done, is he really afraid people won't think he's a great guy? 🌚

SORKIN: Why lay people off at the Post? Why fire people?
BEZOS: Because the Post needs to be a profitable enterprise that stands on its own two feet
SORKIN: Does it? Some people say it should be a trust
BEZOS: Yes. It's a measure of its relevance. If people aren't paying for our product, it's not a good enough product

The internet blew up the “advertising/pay for content” model. Bezos should understand this.
And why aren't people paying for that product, hmm? Money just mysterious stopped flowing in October 2024.
News isn’t a product but that’s beside the point; people aren’t paying for your right wing propaganda, why should they?
He's a thug who bought the paper to keep them from telling the truth about the unethical treatment of his employees and vendors. It should be treated as a deductible advertising expense for Amazon and Whole Foods.
It's really hard to make a profit after the publisher's "compensation" has been paid.
It's funny how people aren't willing to pay for the Bezos Personal Political View Echo-Chamber.
I have never believed that people get THAT rich by being nice people. He is not a nice guy. He has NEVER been a nice guy.
One more thing to lay at Oprah’s doorstep.
That shows you the broken, limited perspective of the billionaire.
He's made it such a good product I stopped paying for it.
