I can never go anyplace where there might be polar bears, because I know how I am, and I would be like "Oh, hi bear!" and try to cuddle with them, even knowing that they're NOT for snuggles. Look at those paws!
There's a District Attorney running for governor here and his ad is also awesome--it talks about prosecuting ICE if they come here and break our laws and ends with "and Donald Trump--YOU know what it's like to be prosecuted for crimes". It's full-on anti-trump and anti-ICE and I LOVE it.
Reading the story about Adams it really makes me wonder what happens to men in their 50’s that sends them down these rabbit holes to becoming complete assholes? Were the always assholes but knew better than to run their mouths? Is it some kind of midlife crisis? All I know is it hasn’t happened to me.
I suspect that when women start going through menopause and stop caring what anyone thinks of them (documented in multiple studies), some men go through culture shock. Their formerly compliant wives tell them to fuck off and these guys don't know what to do.
Renovating the Kennedy center will cost mucho $. Where is that money coming from? Isn't it supposed to be by virtue of an act of Congress (specifically, the House)? What makes the DonCon think he can do this unilaterally? (Same considerations go into the destruction of the East Wing of the WH.)
Regarding Liam and his father: it's good to see that little guy awake, eyes open. The video of him while at the Dilley facility in Texas was pretty scary. But I'm sure the experience will stay with both of them forever. GodDAMN it!
This paragraph, from the PBS article - thank you Judge for getting this in the record:
Trump was asked by the media yesterday "how bout those Texas victories? and he, as usual, said "Who? I know nothing about that...?" His go-to when his party loses.
It's not just an excuse. He's stupid, ill informed, and losing his short term memory. Unless he was briefed within 5 minutes and has a picture book summary, he really doesn't know about anything (except he wants a McBurger and fries)
Might be time for the classic Fill Up a Pot with Lots of Really Hot Water and Lean Over It with a Towel Over Your Head. It does work. Even breathing in the steam from hot tea helps, but that wouldn't get to your ears.
It wouldn't be such a big deal but I have outstanding hearing, so it's freaking me out more than usual. I am realizing how much I count on it. I just went outside and freaked out because I felt vulnerable and like I couldn't interact with the world the right way, if that makes sense. It's like wearing a blindfold.

The Polar Bear lives
on the Arctic ice
stay far away
is my advice
The Ram will ram you
so too, the ewe
if either finds itself
with nothing better to do
To make a meal of stocky goats
Might not seem a crime
To burly pearly polar bears
From a harshly frozen clime
A sneak attack, a horny snack
The greatest of all time.
Bear: "Mmmmmm, Oreos!
Goats enjoying the Giant Tardigrade exhibit.

From their pov definitely not a Care Bear! More like a Scare Bear!
Seals aren’t supposed to have tusks, let alone on their heads.
Now do snarling leopard and bunny rabbits.
That bear is thinking what’s for lunch?
Those goats have devil eyes!
"Eyes Wide Shut" immersive theater
The goats can't bear to watch.
Polar bear water ballet! The goats are not impressed. Philistines.
Time for you to get back to work!

Bwahaha! Touché.
Kinda like a Lobster Tank but reversed or sideways. I'll go with orthogonal tangential.
That polar bear is looking for the entrance to the buffet.
Satire, lying on its deathbed, just got a much needed injection of Kat! (And Cat!)
OT an interesting read

Is there anything as awesome as Barbra's orange costume there? I feel like people don't wear enough orange.
Careful. You don’t want to summon Rudy in his yellow Joker suit.

He’s going to tear it down. It commemorates someone, and not him.

I love Kat. The DNC hates her which is all the more reason to love her.
That political ad was awesome.
>>US House candidate from Illinois Kat Abughazaleh has achieved political-ad perfection.<<
OMG! THAT was hilarious!

kat ab - with her attack cat - perfection
Fuck Dilbert...
I’m pretty sure I am dying. Or allergies. One of the two.
My ears are so congested it’s hard to hear and my head feels stuffy.
Might be time for the classic Fill Up a Pot with Lots of Really Hot Water and Lean Over It with a Towel Over Your Head. It does work. Even breathing in the steam from hot tea helps, but that wouldn't get to your ears.
You're right.
It wouldn't be such a big deal but I have outstanding hearing, so it's freaking me out more than usual. I am realizing how much I count on it. I just went outside and freaked out because I felt vulnerable and like I couldn't interact with the world the right way, if that makes sense. It's like wearing a blindfold.
That does sound very disconcerting! Please take care, and I hope you find something that helps shake the goo loose.
Or could it also be swollen tissue? if so, anti-inflammatories might help?
I've been dealing with "stuffy" ears for 3 weeks... so fucking over it. I hope you feel better, I'm constantly taking "decongestant" meds
I'm compulsively swallowing to try to hear them pop.
