I think I saw this on Instagram, the beautiful grandmotherly figure at a march, the interviewer asked if she thought African Americans stayed away from the march for a reason (weird question but ok) and she said yes, they're the people that will get arrested first so we're here to stand up for them! She was fired up and fabulous. She ended with she thought she voted blue in the womb. She's probably a member of our beloved Wonkette.

Bit alarmed about the early heat wave breaking historical records in the southwestern US.
It’s actually been a cool spring here after the reasonably cold and snowy winter and honestly tho I know probably the majority are getting a little tired of it a) I’m not the majority on this ever (me and another snowboarder were just lamenting a few days ago how we never really know what to do with ourselves in summer and thinking hey can we maybe afford the Andes this year) and b) I know it isn’t going to last and this is absolutely going to be one of the colder years of the next few years, nice that way because where we are on the La Niña cycle, but those end and each is on average distinctly warmer in recent decades. Even if an angry horde of the flooded and burned out team up to hang Drumpf and the rest of the oil industry funded reality deniers tomorrow and actually enact real change on carbon dioxide production it’s a long route for the planet back to not mostly on fire. I think I get even a little more morose each spring knowing what’s coming, picturing myself dying some future February cradling the last melting chip of ice.
Was reading that trees are budding weeks ahead of time.
While I welcome spring with open arms and often play "spot the signs of spring" in my mad attempt to throw off the SADs ( got crocus planted strategically about fer example), this is worrisome
It's up $1 here since the beginning of the month. I filled up at $2.25 at the beginning of the.month. in the middle it was $2.57, and now it's up well over $3.00.
I am so tickled! I am receiving the Biscuits Award. Alice has probably only done this maybe three times, but she is trillpurring, and happily kneading me. I don’t know whether I should take that personally, if I did something right, or if it just happens to be the mood she’s in or what, but I’ll take it.
Ryker is going in for his neuter surgery tomorrow. I’m gonna try to get some sleep now.
Have you ever seen an orb spiderweb? It’s made up of thousands of tiny strands, but altogether they create this very resilient flexible network. That’s what this feels like. It’s so good to know that you all are here in the good times – remember those?—and in the more difficult times.
Good night, wonkers. Good work. Sleep well. Most likely I’ll kill you in the morning.
Trying to wade through a long read from The Guardian, unfortunately I just don’t have the bandwidth right now. This is as far as I got:
“The real question, the question almost nobody was asking, is not about Claude or any language model. It is a bureaucratic question about what happened to the kill chain, and the answer is Palantir.”
Fucking techbros, what are the odds that Thiel doesn’t feel at all responsible if his products kill children.
Reading the sports pages that somehow includes an item about a Shohei Ohtani souvenir cup that is selling for 75 bucks at Dodger stadium. Seems a bit pricey, at first, but it includes free soda refills during the game, and it comes with a blue straw, too.
"The limited edition Shohei Ohtani souvenir cup was made to look like a uniform from the reigning NL MVP, complete with a textured feel. It was listed for sale at concession stands for the Dodgers’ season opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday for $74.99, with “fountain soda refills day of purchase” included in that price. The price quickly sparked discussion on social media, and by Saturday’s game, the listed price for the cup was dropped to $68.99. Additionally, the refill policy was changed to a season-long proposition."
All the "new" generation of Silicon Valley tech-bros and crypto-bros and AI-bros are all scummy, lying skeeves. (There are a very few exceptions) They are all greed hounds with no other redeeming value.
"Jan. 6 defendants are hopeful that the administration will look favorably on their claims, particularly as the Justice Department has signaled its willingness to forge settlements with other aggrieved Trump allies."
I'll never forget Joy Reid's comment after the attacks had been going on for hours-----"If they(J6ers) had been black, they would've been shot,shackled &/or dead by now."

It's going to be a LONG summer here in Central OK. We've already had temps exceed 90 Felines.
"We've already had temps exceed 90 Felines."

I assume this was a typo, but it's a great mental picture of poolside kittehs.

"a Facebook group for Bigfoot researchers"
Legit. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know, right? I've been giggling.
Are you a big foot believer, W?
Nope. I know a fellow who's a die hard Bigfoot believer, even swears he saw it once.
I have a friend who's part yeti.
Okay, he's no larger than I am, but he's from Nepal.
Sure he's not a Gurkha?
His Grandpa was, back in the war. My friend has his Gramp's famed Ghurka knife.
I know one of those, he's crazier that an outhouse rat.

Felon47 can't even cheat properly anymore. I fear his usefulness is nearing its end.
It's been $3.99 for a few days now, with diesel at $5.69 a gallon. Haven't been walkies yet to see if there's been any change.
$6.29 for premium here, with diesel at $7.59
I rented an electric car for our San Francisco trip, and it was cheaper than a gas car. :)
OW.
It's up $1 here since the beginning of the month. I filled up at $2.25 at the beginning of the.month. in the middle it was $2.57, and now it's up well over $3.00.
At least the press are admitting that he is a market manipulator.
Still seems they leaped over being Shocked And Outraged by that and went right to this is fine about it though.
87 octane was right at $4/gallon for me the other day. Granted, that was near the interstate.
With or without ethanol?
Always with ethanol. Federal law requires it. Thank Bob Dole.
You can get both here in OK.
Not much cheaper on the interior. Actually right now our cheapest is off the Ladysmith exit

It's already morning. G'night.
Well, now, that presents a quandary.
Orb spiders are abundant here in Cental OK. You have to wave a stick head of you when you hike to clear out the webs. The website are beating!
I'm often carrying a spider stick when I'm RCing the park. Some parks, I've encountered other folks who also wave a stick ahead of them.

Just fixed it. Sorry about that.

If it goes missing, my money’s on that it turns up as functional in the White House.

Good morning from Badgers Mount in Kent. Another of the perfectly normal places of the UK.
Hey! You're only about 10-11 miles away from me (as the crow flies)!
I love some UK place names.
Can’t beat the Welsh at place names though.
You can beat the Welsh at everything bar two things

He's an acceleration at. He thinks having his products kill children is a good thing.
He and Kegsbreath.
EndTimes Nihilists who think they personally will be among the blessed survivors, or something.
They need to read that bit a bit more closely.
The blessed get assumed into heaven. The survivors are the damned
He's too busy telling everybody about the Anti-Christ. It turns out, the Anti-Christ are all the tech bros even though they don't know they are.
Hey!
To my knowledge you are not a billionaire techie out to kill humanity with your products. You're a human being who works in tech.
No worries. Your hobbies are all self destructive as opposed to aimed at others.
You're no bro. Bros are fucking toxic.
Think in this context, tech bro= billionaire oligarchs who own, in part or total, most of the world right now.
The actual guys who do work are not being impuned

So much easier than forcing manufacturing back
Americans LOVE phone call systems though.
"Bonjour! Je suis claude. Please explain your problem."
"What? OK, my printer isn't working."
"Have you tried stripping the power cable and licking the metal bits?"

If it were during the season, or even the homestand, it might be worth it. During the game? Get the fuck out of here.
Although, blue straw.
Aha, they changed it
"The limited edition Shohei Ohtani souvenir cup was made to look like a uniform from the reigning NL MVP, complete with a textured feel. It was listed for sale at concession stands for the Dodgers’ season opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday for $74.99, with “fountain soda refills day of purchase” included in that price. The price quickly sparked discussion on social media, and by Saturday’s game, the listed price for the cup was dropped to $68.99. Additionally, the refill policy was changed to a season-long proposition."
but you can't buy them any more
Plastic or ceramic?
It hardly matters, BLUE STRAW!
Keep the straw, leave the cup.
Oh good, just what everyone in America needs, more sugar.
You can fill it with Diet Coke or Sprite.
Have you ever looked at the brown ring soda leaves around the bottle.opening?
The only soda I use are either club soda or tonic. If I ever see a brown ring, I'm tossing it (into the recycling bin after emptying, of course.)

Counter-suit anyone?
wow.
Back the blue
I bought a bunch of colored sharpies so that if I saw a "back the blue" flag sticker on a car I could color the white stripes in like a pride flag.
Yeah, so much for that.
Oh, dudes ... your usefulness to Donnie Dipshit has past. Get under the bus with Gestapo Barbie ...
The Capitol cops should have shot a lot sooner than that Babbitt woman.
Immediately after the breach, I'd have said.
Before they even reached the door. They would have shot us then
