I’m kinda disappointed Needy Amin didn’t show up to his vanity parade clad in a fake military uniform, with a self-awarded Purple Heart for his bone spurs pinned to it.
My mother's birthday was June 14. She loved to go for walks in shopping malls and in the downtown area. She'd be hiding behind the sofa if she could see this shit storm in America today.
Baby Golden Balls had his special party and sat in a golden high chair made to support his ample bottom. He got his very own cake to go nom nom nom and get all messy until his tummy got full and he needed a nappy. He couldn’t stay awake for sparklers even. But it was a special party costing taxpayers millions.
Just saw video of Sir at the Sir Birthday Parade! Sir looks sad and, using my lip-reading skills, can report that Sir spent much of Sir's parade time whimpering "daddy". Tomorrow it will occur to Sir that he could've charged the Secret Service many dollars to watch him golf instead. Sigh.
Today IS my birthday and I celebrated with a parade of 40 or so family and friends, including one in a taco costume and another as the emperor’s new clothes.
I was at a No Kings protest in Brooklyn. It was sadly a bit disorganized, there was supposed to be music and they staged it too close to the farmer's market at Grand Army Plaza. There is a whole freshly renovated triumphal arch right in the middle of the plaza where people usually protest. There was a good crowd considering the rain.
My favorite person was a lady who reminded me of Iris Apfel, wearing a sparkly tiara. She told me it was her birthday too, and that lots of nice people are born on this day.
So this is Trump's America. Expect to be tear gassed at rallies. What happened to the right of the people to peaceably assemble? You know, in that pesky Constitution.
Yeah, well, we got gassed and smacked with rubber batons back in the 60s. It comes with the territory. Whenever you buck the establishment, you should come prepared.
Guess you weren't around in the 60s and early 70s. We got gassed all the time. Both tear gas and pepper gas. They stopped short of using mustard gas. So much that everybody who could find one at the Army Surplus store always carried a gas mask to antiwar protests. Still have mine in it's Army issue olive drab bag.
Oh, I was around in the 60s and 70s (turned 81 last week), and I went to protests, too. Fortunately I was in Seattle, and I don’t recall that sort of response.
It happened to me in Miami and D.C. in the late 60s. A few days ago, sheriff in Fla said "we will kill you" as a warning to protesters in a televised broadcast. Depends on the aggressiveness of LEOs and how rowdy the crowd gets.
Water only!!!!!!! lol. Raw milk has bacteria in it. That's why it gets pasteurized. And neither belong in your eyes unless you want a good case of pink eye infection.
Ta, Robyn. We're just back from our local No Kings protest. LOTS of American flags (it IS Flag Day, after all), some of them flying upside down as is right and proper, a sprinkling of rainbow flags (and one woman had a trans rights flag on as a cape), peaceful demonstrators, lots of honking in solidarity, and the ONE cop on the corner was respectful to all. I thanked him as we left, then we did our errands.
Btw, the Karma Chameleon phone was $69.95, not $69.99 if you act now. No time to watch Taboo now, but I'll try to make time to watch it.
I love the ending they went with in Being There. I won’t even mention what it is for anyone who hasn’t seen the movie yet. I like Being There up until the ending, but I love the ending. It adds an extra element to the movie that elevates it from a simple story with an interesting character to something more. It was a great choice.
The outtakes of Sellers laying down with Melvyn Douglas trying to relay a message laced with profanity and cracking up is really funny. Sad that Sellers was so troubled in real life. I love Melvyn Douglas in a very early role in The Old Dark House, a 1932 classic with a great, great cast including Raymond Massey, Charles Laughton, Boris Karloff and Gloria Stewart, who 65 years later would drop her blue heart diamond over the railing above the Titanic.
I love Wonkette!!! HOL AND NOT JUST BECAUSE I’m posting my Substack link to our NO KINGS protest in Kona!! HOL https://open.substack.com/pub/hol4justice/p/hawaii-no-kings-protest-official?r=f09mi&utm_medium=ios

This Flag Day baby thanks you, Robyn!
It was heartening and gratifying to see utter strangers pour into their cities streets celebrating ME yesterday!
I used to think my Lego phone was cool, but now I guess I have to throw it in the trash.
Thumb up for Friedric

What happened to "Flag Day"? Real patriots still celebrate that on June 14th

Happy Birthday!

Amen, brother. I got smacked with a rubber baton on the arm and back. It comes with the territory.

Take it from RFK jr - if you are tear-gassed, only use raw milk. Not that pasteurized stuff, that’s for weenies.
Water only!!!!!!! lol. Raw milk has bacteria in it. That's why it gets pasteurized. And neither belong in your eyes unless you want a good case of pink eye infection.
There you go, disagreeing with RFK jr like some intelligent scientist. You’re going to be in trouble!
HAHA! Won't be the first time after dealing with Repubutts in Congress who don't "believe" in climate change. The battle for people's minds goes on.

No kings Nashville was great. 2 k that I could verify but people were all over the place out of my view. Probably well over 3k.

Kozinski was great. He also wrote Network. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
