So, that move ol' single-celled ๐˜‹๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ด makes with its long, toxin-lined proboscises?

Running that tentacle-oid thing the length of its body? Kinda like a soothing behavior. Dilly gets frustrated?

Who knows the tales ready to be told by single-celled predatory organisms...

โ€œDonโ€™t think they wonโ€™t go after innocent Americans again if they get their way,โ€ added Cheung.

By "innocent Americans", Cheung means the criminal in the White House

New in PN: โ€œProject Meridianโ€ is the stuff of satire

"Leading this project of ruthless mapping will be 'three of our nationโ€™s best minds:' Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich. In other words โ€” at the risk of being unkind โ€” a weirdo, a beardo, and a fatty."

If Trump wants Iran to attack California, does this mean our intelligence agencies will be โ€œstanding downโ€ on any threats, like 9/11, and I guess now 10/7?

Mother Jones: RFK Is Gloating That His Changes to HHS Are Permanent [https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/10/rfk-hhs-permanent-changes/]

My first boss told me "Imagine your hand is in a bucket of water. Pull it out and watch how fast the water replaces you."

Man, I listened to a Conspirituality podcast about a MAHA event and RFKj was literally like, "You no longer have to listen to government officials telling you to listen to the experts, now you have AI to identify your medical problems and treatments."

Yeah, no. That isn't how any of this works, RFKook. You'll be another chapter in the American Nuremberg trials history.

This date in history...

1976โ€”Cubana Flight 455 is bombed over Barbados, killing 73. Everyone suspects CIA-trained Luis Posada Carriles, a Miami resident, is behind it; but the U.S. wonโ€™t extradite.

1970โ€”The replacement statue of a cop in Chicagoโ€™s Haymarket Square is blown to bits by the Weathermen.

1969โ€”The statue of a cop in Chicagoโ€™s Haymarket Square is blown to bits by the Weathermen.

1961โ€”President Kennedy recommends that, in case of nuclear war, American families get ready to live for a while in holes in the ground.

1932โ€”At a foreclosure auction in Elgin, Neb., neighbors buy the Von Bonn farm for pennies on the dollar and give it back to the owner, a widow.

1927โ€”Lawyer-turned bootlegger George Remus shoots his wife dead in front of witnesses in a Cincinnati park (she had an affair with a revenue agent and stole all his money). Defending himself, heโ€™s acquitted on grounds of temporary insanity. Prosecutors try to have him committed, since heโ€™s insane; but he cites their witnesses, who said he was sane, and goes free.

1856โ€”Portsmouth celebrates the centennial of the founding of The New Hampshire Gazette. Extra trains bring visitors from around New England and beyond for a parade, a regatta, and a banquet featuring many speeches.

**PG note**--Knowing the general tone of the editor and publication, I at first thought this was self-deprecating snark. Nope, 'tis true. https://guides.loc.gov/noteworthy-newspaper-issues/new-hampshire-gazette

1536โ€”William Tyndale is strangled and burned for printing a Bible in English so people could read it.

True Story, Jim Baker edition (short one)

My mom was very catholic. She had actually signed up out of highschool to be a nun, but had to leave before her novitiate was done. (The family story was that her bad back made all the kneeling impossible, but the true story was she confessed to lustful thoughts ALL THE TIME and the priest was all...maybe this is not the life for you? I digress, but that bit is funny).

Anyway, Jim Baker was not catholic. But from time to time she would turn on the power hour of grift anyway and mention What a Godly Man He Is. Then all the shit came out and she was actually rather devastated. Not sobbing in her mother's helper devastated, but very upset because she really thought he was godly. I asked her, well, did you send him money like he was always asking? And she was like, well no, he is not catholic. Not sure being saved by religious intolerance is really the best thing in the world, but had she not been catholic, we probably would have been even poor-er than we were.

There's a moral to this story somewhere, but hell if I can find it.

"Lustful Nuns" is a really primo band name ... just sayin'

Lance Thrustwell's avatar

They could provide the soundtrack for the film series I want to produce - the Naughty Nuns series. I need more subtitles, though. Any ideas? So far, I've got:

Naughty Nuns

Naughty Nuns II: This Nun's for You

Naughty Nuns III: Mother May I?

Naughty Nuns IV: Moister in the Cloister

Turns out we DON'T need AI "experts" on staff.

Jen Lacks a Domesticated Bone's avatar

ah yes. We were just testing, so this is not a layoff, just end of project, REALLY.

You know, that bubble is gonna burst when Dems take over, and then the press will blame the Dems. Erryone needs to be aware of how that is what is gonna happen

That is why we see agencies like the CFTC trying to jam through unregulated betting and crypto + the AI-holes trying to lock down as many government contracts as they can.

Iโ€™ve been in the hospital for a week and a half. Looks like today is the day I get to go home though! And I canโ€™t wait to get back to my new apartment and my beloved desk. Iโ€™ve even been putting together a grocery order of actual food to cookโ€”well, Hamburger Helper counts as cooking. And so does layering chips and cheese and making it into nachos made piping hot in the oven.

One thing Iโ€™m excited about: Iโ€™ve been gifted a cast iron skillet! Nothing terribly huge, but definitely big enough for me to feed myself with. Like maybe a nice baked turkey loinโ€ฆ

Also Iโ€™m making a change, or trying to, by drinking less soda and more juices. I figure my kidneys will appreciate it, and I love kiwi strawberry juice.

Jen Lacks a Domesticated Bone's avatar

Might want to check the sugar content of the juice, often times they have as much as soda. I found that out the hard way. I am now trying to force myself to drink more water (with about a third lemonade because it makes it better, and a crap load of ice) because of that. Sigh.

Non-Instagram FB link to the Democrats' page with the Low-T JD El-Sayed link. I think it will open in a browser, no need for an account or the FB app. Not everyone has or wants to install Instagram/FB.

I'm not sure about the low-T thing. I have nothing against going low, but this feels like exchanging playground taunts. It's possible to go low and be witty, original, murderous. The writers and a few commenters do that here every day, all day. It also cedes the choice of rhetorical ground to the Maga scum. The low-T thing is of course problematic in itself.

Calling that eyelined bag of shit low t is funny, calling that eyelined bag of shit a low t fascist who lies about immigrants to gain power is campaigning.
