I didn’t know the log cabin was open again. Little known fact: in 1922 my great-grandfather went to the log cabin and committed suicide after great-grandma locked him out of the house on Grove St. Wasn’t that cheerful.
I got to meet you, Donna Rose, and Dok at the Seattle Wonkette Thinggy at Lincoln Park this past summer. Miss Donna Rose was absolutely charming; she was having a blast being a kid on the big toys but had a certain maturity and confidence when I introduced myself. You raised a good kid, Rebecca! I've been reading about her since you and Shy wed, and then you wrote about horrid hemorrhoids while being pregnant. I feel like part of the family. Here's to a very happy New Year!
The idea of continually offering a cutback to one Wonkette a day begins to feel like a desire to only produce one a day, and that certainly would be insufficient, so I say, stop with the cutback stuff, and lets all get real with the project at hand....taking down the orange menace.
Companies are “looking to stay lean into 2026” as a new “corporate playbook” reveals hiring freezes in major industries, the Wall Street Journal reports.
“You’re going to see a lot of wait and see,” chief executive of staffing company Kelly Services Chris Layden told the Journal. “Some of the looming uncertainty will mean that we’re going to continue to see an investment in capital over people.”
According to the report, “66 percent of leaders surveyed” at a recent gathering in Midtown Manhattan “said they planned to either fire workers or maintain the size of their existing teams next year. Only a third indicated they planned to hire.” This comes as the “unemployment rate those to 4.6 percent in November, its highest in four years.”
“We’re close to zero job growth. That’s not a healthy labor market,”
Without the hundreds of billions that are being poured into literally one segment of the economy (AI), GDP growth would be essentially zero. No one knows how that's going to play out; it could be fine, or it could be a huge disaster.

In today’s edition of cat-immediately-ceases-adorable-thing-the-moment-Mom-gets-the-camera-ready, Avalon was going to town on this cat grass like a dang rabbit. She had an entire mouf-ful of grass. My cat is a closet herbivore.
She Who Must Be Catered To loves her cat grass! I made a special trip to the co-op yesterday just to get her a fresh offering. She was giving me the side eye the last couple of days that her old grass needed replacing.
If you have a co-op or health food store in your area, they may have wheat grass for a much better price than the cat food chains. I pay half the price for a larger container of organic wheat grass than I did for a smaller container at the pet chains.
I’ll check into that for sure, it was an impulse buy but at a rather horrifying $10 at PetsMart. And for something so easy to grow. I just wanted to see if she’d go for it before I go to the trouble. Hazel doesn’t care about grass so I haven’t kept it around.

The Pink Ballet was a draw in 1977. Don’t know about 2025.

Thank God Donna looks so much like you now that she's growing up.
Nothing against Shy, but, you know...
Wonderful!

nah mang, it's so we don't blow out people's inboxes is all. IT'S A LOT OF EMAILS.
The current arrangement seems to be working fine.
''aw, i wanna be a hero.''
''well, wishing won't make it so, pull up your diapers and get out there....''
this dialog appeared where?
a. today's negotiations at merdealotta
b. ''mr. plow'' episode
c. alaska negotiations between krasnov and his handler
I have to go with a. Negotiations at Mal-de-merde-a-lardo
and would know it is a for sure if it included
"<blank> is a loser and I think he is a boozer"
My best guess would be b. ''mr. plow'' episode but fuck if I know. Could be any of them and I would not be surprised.
"Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa ecumenicism" I thought the preferred nomenclature was Decemberween?
No matter how many times I vacuum, the bedroom always has a warren full of dust bunnies.
They just hide under the bed where you can’t reach and hop out when you leave. My cats drag them out.
You are, perhaps, aware of certain reputations members of the rabbit world have concerning proclivity toward reproduction?
Ah! That must be it!
You are fortunate. We have dust rhinos
Perhaps they need cute costumes?
That is what I will call an idea.
What fun these mortals be!
“And when did Donna Rose get so grown up?” She was born 37 years old, you knew that!”
It seems like just yesterday we were saying, “Good job, babby” in the comments, which were not allowed.
Wait, didn't the economy grow 4.3% while unemployment and prices are increasing? Either AI is working in mysterious ways or someone is lying.

You doubt the Ministry of Truth?
In my economics-ignorant understanding, what's good for Wall Street is pretty much always what pushes Main Street further toward being Skid Row.
Lotta shuttered store fronts here in my City of the Roses. Could Trump have lied?
GDP growth is easy to cheese with finance bullshittery, and is thus an unreliable metric.
2026 is going to be a rough year, I'm afraid.
And Chuck Schumer lies awake at night, terrified that he's going to be blamed for it.

Back in the day I lived in Chicago and would go to my local to root for the Celtics against the Bulls. All in good fun . . . 😃
A lake. A lake. A lake of vomit for you . . . Thanks, big cat. So glad I gave you a can of the good food this morning for me to step in.
It's not the good food anymore, is it?
Condolences on the start to your day.
Darn old has massive backwards yards now!
Not pretty so far
Almost intercepted the first two plays and then a 21 yard "grounding" penalty... he needs to step UP into the pocket instead of running away.
Fortunately there's a combination of good defense and Carolina incompetence.
And Walker is running well...

But I missed the shot, gaaah!
