Thank you for the panda. I need things to smile at since Republicans sold the country to King Skum, and we are probably all doomed.
I think I'll write a note of congrats to my congresscon for helping to bring to fruition, what Republicans have been working on strenuously since 1979.
Don't forget the work the Heritage Foundation has done to promote that enshittification! They're very proud of how Reagan implemented their "Project 1981" (not the real name, that I know of) and set us on the route to the federal government you could drown in a bathtub, but you can't afford either the tub or the water.
I never forget the Heritage Foundation who once stated there is no "real" poverty in this country because almost everyone has indoor plumbing, and most people have access to a refrigerator.
Fun time memories of way back in the day when that book first came out and trying to explain the central grammar pun to people who really should not have needed a detailed sentence breakdown......many pieces of scrap paper gave their lives!!

"Skibidi Hitler Youth" is never going to age for me
You can buy gold bars at Costco and probably Sam’s Club. Then you can go back and use them to buy big boxes of cookies and paper towels. At nearly $3000/1 ounce bar, there’s a little problem of change. Think they’re going to give you change in gold pieces?
You know the Deep State intelligence community is preparing particularly delicious-looking fake intel to spread around among Chump and his peeps to see who everyone's talking to.
Called the Governor's office. Ask him what he was going to do about Elon Musk stealing my personal information. Filled out an online form with the Attorney General's office asking the same question.
HuffPost: First Migrant Flights To Guantanamo Bay Underway: White House
"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the first migrant flights to Guantanamo Bay are underway following Trump’s order last week to expand the infamous detention center’s use. The Cuba facility will “detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people,” he said. “Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guantanamo. This will double our capacity immediately, right? And, tough.""
'And tough' - torturing will commence in 5..4..3....
Last night I had started to mention something (it was dumb, and just an observation of my high school football team, of all things) and he started in like he always does with a lengthy tale of HIS high school football team and the various players and yada yada...and I just started crying and couldn't stop. He asked what was wrong and I said, "nobody ever listens to ME!" and couldn't say much else, and I don't know, y'all. He felt terrible that I felt terrible and I don't even know what was wrong with me.
I slept on the sofa and just felt and feel emotionally miserable. I also need to drink a bunch of water because I still have that feeling behind my eyes like at any moment I could start sobbing again. Post-cry is like a hangover.
Oufff. I'm about to have a conversation with my husband that when I'm in a lot of pain from psoriatic arthritis and still trying to make dinner and he starts peppering me with questions about what I'm going to do about my new doctor (we moved a month ago) who is cutting back on my pain meds to the point I can barely stand it and he didn't offer a word of comfort or a gesture or hug of kindness much less offering to help me with dinner. I snapped at him that I didn't know and HE left in a huff. Yeah, I understand the feeling. I don't know whether to cry, or scream, or take up drinking. I had a drinking problem years ago and I don't want to go down that path again but I don't know how much I can take. It's very hard to plan when you can barely stand from the pain. I need comforting, too.
But you know that the drinking's not the answer. I'm proud of you for realizing that you had a problem.
It's so horrible to feel like nobody's listening, but people are. I know it's going to be okay. And also--for your husband--shut up, dude. Just help make dinner and be quiet if you can't actually help!

Joy in the morning thanks to your gif. Have a lovely rest of your day, Martini
Hehe. Panda. Hehe.

Martini, luv yer post. It is just ducky.
I’d like to see that with little celebriducks resembling the various Nazi assholes currently dismantling my life and the panda savagely drowning them.
What?
When panda's play with rubber ducks
They seldom ever fight
Their rubber playmates keep them calm
It's all there in black and white.
Rubber ducky, joy of joys!
When I squeeze you, you make noise.
Rubber ducky, I am awfully fond... of you!
"Relax Like A Panda" should be a thing for us non-pandas too
Eats, shoots, and leaves.

Pandas are an animal whose main survival skill is cuteness.
Pure joy!
The panda's singing the 'Rubber Ducky' song.
I've got a version somewhere where the singer is doing it like a torch song. Or maybe a burlesque routine.....
No wonder I heard it in my head!

Trump is still the loser we all loathe.
Between Jimmy Kimmel and Randy Rainbow my sanity is in good hands.
Big Balls? Really? Is there anyone in MAGAtworld who isn’t a pathetic example of overcompensation that would embarrass Lord Farquad?
"....are suing to get Elon Musk’s grubby apartheid Nazi paws out of the Treasury’s payment database."
Glad somebody is. How is this even possible?

At my Friday place, I lost my shit at freaks blaming these plane crashes on DEI, and reminded everyone what “DEI” stands for...
Oohhh I know!

Today is Alice Cooper's birthday.
The anthem for the Democratic Party should be, "No More Mr. Nice Guy."
With Gabbard, we will finally save money, outsourcing all of our security services to the FSB.

One thing I’ve always liked about Kimmel’s monologue is how often he is visibly high while giving it. 👍
American exceptionalism:
Tim Walz on Xitter: "Elon Musk is a terrible president."
White House communications director Steven Cheung fired back, “Tim Walz is a cuck.”

I noticed Tim got 585k likes while Cheung only got 12k. Who is the cuck, Cheung?
What would a talking thumb know about cuckoldry?
Takes one to know one, Stevie.
Muskypoo isn't a public servant; he's a public menace. And high on my list of people whose obituaries I will not be sad to read.

Of course, my MAGAt dad claimed this was a Trump victory and praised his threats. Apparently that’s how he thinks diplomacy works and ought to work.

I want to hide under the covers all day.
