ExxonMobil would like to invite everyone to join us on the next exciting stage in our corporate journey as we pivot to a new frontier: Luxury Lifestyle Bunkers! Why spend your time on this swiftly burning planet with smoke tainting your air and those depressing Poors whining about how they're starving to death and the cannibalistic mutant hordes are eating anyone who hasn't yet died of dehydration or that new superbug that thawed out of what used to be the polar ice caps? With bunkers starting in the low tens of millions, anyone can invest today in a self-contained luxury bunker with its own greenhouse, water filtration system, Picture Windows (take a look "outside" and harken back to the days when there were trees!), and your very own complete Domestic Staff set (all guaranteed fertile so you and future generations will never have to worry about doing your own dishes!) and Savior Trump Shrine...
Sooo, I woke up with a seriously, profusely, 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺 runny nose...
"Subclinical to marginal histamine response". just doesn't sound serious enough for how irritating this is, so maybe I'll scour comments sections far and wide for an exotic disorder that fits.
also the valley is in full bloom like I've not seen since my childhood (70's era). Anyhoo, for us sunny peeps in AZ; let's just say you NEED all the kleenex and whatever antihistamine your body and work level require. My husband is in full (Nasocort + whatever short term help) to the x power type of mode. So is my dad who almost NEVER has allergies.
I took Benadryl and enough Indica vapor to inflate the Hindenburg. So, now I don't care if I am sneezing uncontrollably or not. Oh the humanity and stuff.
The actress and stunt woman Susan Backlinie, whose portrayal of a violent death as the first shark attack victim in the opening scene of the blockbuster movie “Jaws” terrified moviegoers, died on Saturday. She was 77.
Ms. Backlinie died at her home in California, her agent, Sean Clark, said on Sunday. He said she had a heart attack...
In an interview with The Post in 2017, Ms. Backlinie recalled Mr. Spielberg telling her, “When your scene is done, I want everyone under the seats with the popcorn and bubble gum.”
I caught a minute in the car after dropping off Mom (age 85) imaging Mother's Day without her. It was not pleasant. Then I had the thought that I should pay attention to the obits.
I think RFKJ's followers are going to be the personality cult people who lost interest in that orange bag of shit. He is really creepy with his body and health fascism.
I know this guy's sister though work connections but not him personally. I would guess he's more the Libertarian type, possibly a former PAB supporter but not a cultist.
Which one is creepier? I'm having a difficult time with this question. I'm still leaning towards Spongebrain von Shitzenpants (not litterally, of course. Eww!)
They are people who are disgusted by Trump personally, but have not yet recognized that the conspiracy theories they use to understand the world are nonsense.
No, he was a guy walking across America to show how good and kind American people are and on this day of his walk in 1992 he got Robbed and pushed into a river.
Did not hear of this story of an actual guy doing the 'trust fall'. But some guys in MA built a robot that got mugged. Happened in the 1990's too and we laughed. This guy is probably a Darwin Awards (r) Honorable Mention.
If any Americans traveling abroad are counting on Cannes for two weeks of respite from this contentious election year, the festival has a rude reminder in the form of Ali Abbasi’s “The Apprentice.” This political origin story of sorts stars Sebastian Stan as a young Donald J. Trump, Maria Bakalova as his first wife, Ivana, and the “Succession” star Jeremy Strong as Trump’s mentor, the fixer Roy Cohn. Could this be the only film at Cannes this year eligible for both the Palme d’Or and a clapback on Truth Social?

Lonnie, being the genius he is, probably thought he could use Twitter to promote himself, his "businesses," and nazis. In doing so, he destroyed the audience which was why he probably bought Twitter in the first place.
He keeps trying to get blocking removed because everyone he wants to impress has blocked his sorry ass. But that would get the app yeeted from every app store, and run afoul of European laws.
Awakened by something or other in the night, remembered that serendipity was outside. She was going bonkers last night being stuck inside, and I finally let her out because I realized there was no winning that battle. She is 15, street smart, and her restlessness is very powerful sometimes. I checked all the doors, called her, nothing. I went back to bed and realized Máebh was still waiting for her by the door, which meant she was on the other side of it and she was.
Serendipity stalked right past M, ignore her.
I took them downstairs and fed them, thinking it was morning. It was not. And now I am back in bed, looking around for my off switch. Again.
My cat Tipper (The Cat Who Thinks He's A Dog) has never been outside. Never outside of a cat carrier. He is son of a feral. He made a flying leap towards the door once. Once. I screamed and he flipped back into the room. I've been sick for three days and I've been up all night. There's a pizza box on the stove drawing flies. He was busy today hunting flies.
Serendipity, as best I can pierce together, was dumped as a very young cat and had to figure out how to survive. She wasn’t doing a very good job of it, but I think she was reluctant to align herself with another unreliable human being. She made her way up and down the road, checking people out. She finally deigned to offer us her services, as winter was coming on.
She came and went for a while, until one winter night, I heard an ungodly screaming on my deck, where she had fled from a feral that was clearly intent on killing her. I open the door, let her in, Stepped out and ran the old guy off. And I think that was the night that she threw her hat over the fence, and followed. Something changed in her, and after that, she was all in.
The younger cats are fine, pretty much, with being indoor cats. And so is she, most of the time. But some nights, she just has to go out.
Is there someone who could give you a hand? You sound like you could use a friend to come over and bring you new pizza boxes.
We had to do the family thing today but cynbaby has Mondays off and comes over to take out the garbage, lightly clean and bring me food. We'll have Our Mother's Day then.
I feel like Public sympathy for Gaza is finally turning around. Like FINALLY, there is a bit of sympathy for the people, themselves, who live under that extremist government.
Coming up for air midway through watching. it’s very difficult to just listen to this.
ETA: this brought back a very old memory of some women that were working together to bring about peace in Northern Ireland. They were being interviewed, and the interviewer was trying to get them to identify with one or the other side of the causes. And they were trying to explain to the interviewer that there were only two sides, the side of peace, and the side of war.
This mother’s, this bereaved wife’s gentle demeanor as she tries to explain the inexplicable. The newscaster almost seems to be showing more emotion and more of a reaction as this woman describes people, innocent civilians, being killed by both sides. And the side of war is united denying that what she saw happened. Fortunately, neither the Israelis nor Hamas kill civilians. So that’s a relief.

What did we do before the intertubes?
It's the plague.
I've had a snot faucet ever since I caught covid in 2020.
Well, I had a sneezing fit around midnight for the last several nights.
also the valley is in full bloom like I've not seen since my childhood (70's era).

(Speaking for the comments) "Likely the Creeping Feeble, perhaps complicated by Aggressive Wobbly Furptomiosis. Have you been vaccinated?"
This is a more soothing diagnosis than "Take a Benadryl and be quiet"so I'm going with it. Maybe a telethon
I took Benadryl and enough Indica vapor to inflate the Hindenburg. So, now I don't care if I am sneezing uncontrollably or not. Oh the humanity and stuff.
Chicken soup.
One of the headlines served up this morning in my news aggregator:

Oh Cosmo, don't ever change.

That's so sweet.
"Where was your friend?"
"Oh, right there, but she's a lefty..."

Yeah, that's a Cosmo Classic.

Oh, ab-sol-fucking-lutely you did, Ms Backlinie.
It used to even scare me to wear goggles in the pool, because of how you could see half in-half out of the water like in Jaws.
That first little tug and her face like, "was that? What?" and then the awful pause...before the attack...
I saw my first RFK Jr. yard sign (Declare Your Independence!) while walking the dog yesterday.
I understand these people less than I do the PAB cultists. Say what you want about MAGA but at least it's an ethos.
Thank you I will.
-----
Say what you want about MAGA
.....
But regarding the Jr idiots, a better sign would read "Submit To Your Worm Overlords"
Brain worms unite!
Hopefully it’s a vote stolen from trump
Was the yard owned by brain worms?
I missed the brain worms comments. Please explain.
It's hard to tell sometimes if people are snarking or serious, but I'll go ahead an err on the assumption that you somehow missed this:
https://www.wonkette.com/p/guess-we-gotta-do-the-rfk-jr-brain
I finally watched the 5/11 SNL and Weekend Update did a good job on their RFK coverage. I dig it that his family is discouraging his behavior.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/08/robert-f-kennedy-jr-worm-brain
yes
Well then... you've answered your own question ;-)
Say whut? *head assplodes*
I think RFKJ's followers are going to be the personality cult people who lost interest in that orange bag of shit. He is really creepy with his body and health fascism.
If what you want the craziest white guy in the race trump loses to RFK
I know this guy's sister though work connections but not him personally. I would guess he's more the Libertarian type, possibly a former PAB supporter but not a cultist.
Which one is creepier? I'm having a difficult time with this question. I'm still leaning towards Spongebrain von Shitzenpants (not litterally, of course. Eww!)
Kjrs think they are smart and science is a total sham.
Some people are so fucking disappointing.
They are people who are disgusted by Trump personally, but have not yet recognized that the conspiracy theories they use to understand the world are nonsense.
And too many people are both of the above.
Anyone recognize the name Fred Turner from the early 1990s?
We had a Fred for a while but he turned so we arrested him for teason.
I employed a Fred Turner once but dismissed him when my Fred started turning on his own.
Corporate food chain Fred Turner or B.T.O. bassist Fred Turner?
No, he was a guy walking across America to show how good and kind American people are and on this day of his walk in 1992 he got Robbed and pushed into a river.
Did not hear of this story of an actual guy doing the 'trust fall'. But some guys in MA built a robot that got mugged. Happened in the 1990's too and we laughed. This guy is probably a Darwin Awards (r) Honorable Mention.
Didn't he invent the wrench?
I think you are confusing him with Bolt Turner.
Wait, so Fred invented the spatuler?

Book 'em Danno. (I'm bingewatching both the classic and the reboot.)
One of the best tv themes evar. At least, the one with Jack Lord.
Reboot is same theme but fucked up only a little bit because reboot.
Natch
I blame the CME/aurora and RFK Jr.
You posted, I liked?
It works in the app.
I am strongly biased against apps.

I think that's part of the original plan. Destroy its usefulness for any who resist authority. Make it a tool for the authoritarians.
Does anyone with a lick of commonsense actually listen to Elon?
Lonnie, being the genius he is, probably thought he could use Twitter to promote himself, his "businesses," and nazis. In doing so, he destroyed the audience which was why he probably bought Twitter in the first place.
Bidness. Genius.
He keeps trying to get blocking removed because everyone he wants to impress has blocked his sorry ass. But that would get the app yeeted from every app store, and run afoul of European laws.

Does the Nobel organization have a category that covers this? It's obviously a world changing discovery.
I believe the Ig Noble Prize is for this type of science.
I believe you are right. I forgot about that.
So, like they do in an autopsy.
They can probably sew it up for you to if you want. For an additional charge.
They use the finest string cheese.
yum
Trump ain't gonna like this. MGCSGA. Make Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Great Again.
Surprised to see this on network television-most of the clip is a candid account of conditions in Gaza by a Palestinian-Amercan trapped there.
