Grandbaby Mild survived his first half-day at daycare yesterday. We went to the pick up with the Mild Jrs. GB Mild was sleepy, but very happy to see Mom and Dad, and had lots of smiles for Grandma, aka, Mrs Mild.
He had a successful first (short) day, it looks like the Mild Jrs plan of a slow transition will be a success.

You guys are the best reporters on the entire internet, no exaggeration. You get all of the scoops. So, I have a hot tip for you: WTF was Big Balls even doing down there at 3 am? I see two scenarios, both Bad: (a) He and his date were slumming to buy drugs, in a sketchy part of a relatively unfamiliar big city, and got mugged; and/or (b) The whole thing is a setup, a Reichstag mugging if you will. It would be very interesting to find out what has happened with those two supposed teenage carjackers (how many 3am carjackings in DC are even done by people under, say, 16?) -- did they disappear, never to be seen again, with vague explanations of having been "deported", yet for all you can see, they're both U.S. citizens? Maybe all a CIA wet/dry op? We're already deep into the deep shit, why not? You can find out, I'm sure! I hope, anyway...
I slept like a rock last night. Dreamt of...I'm not sure. Must not have been a terribly good dream if I can't remember what it was. But today I eventually have to emerge from bed and do stuff I need to go visit the public housing authority to discuss the weird attempt to retroactively charge me extra rent. Unfortunately, I may have to go there in stuff that passes for...sigh...masculine clothes. They only know me by my male dead name, which is a the name on all my paperwork and documents.
Or maybe not? I don't know. The bigger thing today: despite my upcoming departure, today does Mark my third anniversary at the same job. Three years! Insane I should celebrate somehow. I was going to get a cookie at the mall, but now that I think about that, maybe it isn't sufficient.
I told my boss details about my life that perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned. Stuff about my birth that tends to shock people. Specifically, when i was born,, doctors cautioned my parents not to get too attached to me. I for multiple reasons, they did not expect me to survive. My boss was concerned that I would be okay after announcing my upcoming departure, so I mentioned my birth to show that I have always defied expectations and survived somehow.
Maybe I just need to get out of my apartment today and try to enjoy it
I have a WEIRD THEORY about the high murder rate in Red States and the murdery Republican in New Mexico (who also happens to have a rap sheet as long as my arm).
Maybe it's because MAGAs are just a bunch of violent thieves and thugs? Yeah, I know, that's crazy talk.
"Federal prosecutors have charged Sean Charles Dunn with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers after he allegedly lobbed a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection officer on Sunday evening in northwest Washington, D.C. “He doesn’t think it’s funny today because we charged him with a felony, assault on a police officer,” said Jeannine ["Boxwine"] Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for D.C., in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter. “And we’re going to back the police to the hilt.”"
The Washington Examiner, which is TRASH, has an article on this that shows how clearly it's TRASH. They note that Biden's interview is "rambling" and that he wore a hat with symbols from a "failed" attempt to kill Hitler. They also put right up there that the allegation isn't true. It's interesting how they frame stuff, isn't it?

Anyone have a hookup for cheap knee replacements? I'm looking for something low mileage, preferably only used on weekends. Based on symptoms, the current ones have had a mix of sand and glass shards stuck in them for the past two weeks now. Usually I can get them flushed out and running reasonably well, but not any more. Would even accept an entire chassis replacement, if needed.
I hear 'Body Parts Iz Us' is having a Labor Day sale...
Seriously, this made me think about my stepdad, who is dealing with knee replacements that are about 8 years beyond their shelf life. But at 96 years of age, he's not gonna replace them, because of both his inability to deal with the procedure and after-op adjustments/therapy, and also cuz (he'd shrug his shoulders at this point) how long he'd even get use out of 'em. Frugal till the end, and he does pretty good with his walker.
I typed in the NFT one, and got the first AI response (sorry, water sources):
"It's important to clarify that Trump's NFT trading cards are not directly mentioned in the existing publicly known "Epstein Files". The "Epstein Files" largely refer to documents related to the investigations and legal proceedings against Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, primarily focusing on his sex trafficking network...."
.
"Not directly mentioned..." seems oddly if vaguely specific
Now we know the NFT trading cards directly finance the video software used to edit the camera footage on the Epstein prison cell door. It also explains why Eric and Junior don’t have their own NFT trading cards.
Re Chris Murphy: I am reminded that, after the Roman Republic was overthrown and they had emperors, the Senate remained as an institution: it just had fewer and fewer functions. It was there for show. See also: the Russian Duma.
Do you know about Mars, the baby pygmy hippo with attitude? He’s your hed gif critter. More info here: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/mars-resists

Poor li'l spud got stuck there. Good thing he has friends to help him out.
Mars Resists!
He is stupid cute
Wonder if he's friends with Moo Deng

I want a job as a baby hippo rearranger!
Mars is a handsome little man. :)
I first saw pygmy hippos at the National Zoo in about 1978 or so. So much dawww!
Boop!
Mars' cuteness factor has knocked me down! Cuteness overload!
Reminds me of Fiona when she was a Babby Hypotemus. She's no longer a Babby.
https://substack.com/@tehbaddr/note/c-112998484
FIONA
Fiona is a celebrity now, she has kid books about her. And she had an ice cream named after her from a local ice cream compay.
He is so freaking cute and love his independent attitude!
Little plump rascal, is Mars 🥰

I imagine having a lap hippo gets a bit uncomfortable after they grow into their final weight.
WE SHOULD PROBABLY CHECK
Gonna be tough on the furniture too
Based on his noncooperation, I'm guessing Mars thinks his handler is from Venus.
That still shot in the pool is Mars saying “This is my good side”.
I like their big back ends!
...and you cannot lie!
I know about Mars, the babby pigmy hippo with attitude now. Even with attitude, he's a cutie!
Damn, sorry, still haven't gotten around to fixing that damn handle.

Headline in The Guardian today:
Melania Trump demands Hunter Biden retract comments linking her to Jeffrey Epstein
First lady threatens to sue Joe Biden’s son after he said the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump
oh haha
Melania does not want to pick a fight with Hunter Biden
Is there a worse enemy on the planet than a handsome privileged educated man with an addiction problem?

So ... almost a decade now, sigh
Double sigh, sister. ALL THE SIGHS.
Yeah, but Trump doesn't take a salary!
Taking a shit on the Constitution is payment enough for him.
And the teenage girls.

Whatever you do, stay away from MAGA kneecaps. Those babies get a workout to be in line with Chump's ass.
I got mine replaced in India in 2010, so far very good!

Frugal till the end, and he does pretty good with his walker.
BTW- I have been sending questions to the google machine asking for information.
Here's a few.
"Will Trump receive royalties when the Epstein Files are published?"
"Do the Epstein Files contain recipes for Trump Tower pierogis?"
"Can the Epstein Files whiten Trump's teeth?"
"Which Trump NFT trading cards appear in the Epstein Files?"
"Will Trump meet Putin in Alaska and discuss the Epstein Files?"
"If a mass shooting occurs, will it be because Trump is in the Epstein Files?"
"Is Trump's body mass index found in the Epstein Files?"
"Is Nintendo's new video game called 'Trump Is In The Epstein Files'?"
As Captain America so often says, I can do this all day.
Will Trump do a dramatic reading of the Epstein Files?
Why aren't the Epstein files called the Trump Epstein files?
Will Vladimer Putin publish the Epstein files in Russia?
Does Trump eat TACO bowls in the Epstein Files?
How many different reasons does Trump have for not releasing the Epstein files?
Is Melania Trump in the Epstein Files?
Will Trump play himself in the Netflix movie about the Epstein files?
On that last one, I wasn't really expecting more than a generic listing of links, but got this:

I also wondered "Why did the Readers Digest cancel it's planned condensed version of the Trump-Epstein Files?"
the AI response: "Because Elon beat them to it."
They also did a Maxwell one:
