Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Good morning. Happy Easter to those who celebrate! Last night someone was shooting off fireworks and I got really hopeful for a hot minute but I think it had something to do with sports.
Just woke up from a dream in which I was in profound grief about my daughter. I was folding some of her clothing and posting here about how deeply wrong it was that her clothing was here and she was gone. And in the process of trying to tell you about it, I said I wanted to talk about it, but the person I wanted to talk to most about it was her, and I couldn't. And it was so raw and painful that it woke me.
It took a few minutes to remember that she is alive.
But instead of being flooded with relief, I realized that part of it was true. The part of her with whom I could discuss that was gone. For several years, she's become this "I'm dancing as fast as I can," character who seems as if she is playing the part of her life. Conversations are curated and careful, and we talk around things, and I don't even know where the land mines are buried, so I become even more careful than I perhaps need to be, so our conversations become even more narrowed.
I would love to meet with her at a street cafe and talk in the sun, and say these things, but I feel that I cannot because I am protecting her from herself. And I don't understand why. I only know that I must. I do not understand the labyrinthian rules of engagement, but it's all I have.
And then I thought, perhaps this is in part why we grieve animals so deeply when they are gone, because we are able to be authentic and whole with them, and so we grieve them completely, with our whole selves, not just pieces that still remain in our relationships with them.
How terrible you dreamed she died! I am estranged from my daughter because she’s married to a Nazi and has gone that way herself, I miss her though. If you can still manage to talk at all, that’s something.
Imagining the architecture of this space we have created (you host the velvet-curtained, plush-seated movie theater, and you should perhaps know that sometimes a few of us tiptoe in there and commandeer an old thread and watch a movie together.
And then there is the Night Kitchen. When you wake from a dream, and stumble down the hall, and open the door and find voices murmuring together while you blink in the light and the chatter, dressed in a robe and slippers, and the coffee is on, or perhaps you just needed to know that people were gathered together in conversation, and now you can turn around and wander away and go back to sleep.
However, the Ukrainian president admitted that the situation along the 640-mile front – where Ukraine is facing relentless Russian assaults – remained “complex” but that “overall the front line is holding”.
In a media briefing on Friday, he told reporters: “I received MI6’s assessment. The situation on the front is currently the best for Ukraine in the past 10 months. This is their conclusion, and our partners see it as well.”

You can be sure as shit that MI6 isn't giving fatberg any assessments. Five eyes don't trust that piece of shit and his hand-picked fuckwits not to just pass it straight to Russia.

Adios, Mexico. I've got to leave because I have an appointment at the Mexican consulate in Atlanta Tuesday morning to apply for a visa. I know, it's kind of nuts that I can't apply while I'm here, but that's the way it is. So I'll spend a few days in Atlanta, go back to France, pack my stuff and move to Mexico. Poor Morpheus.

Do you have specific knowledge that that specific person with a microphone is an assclown, or is anyone behind a microphone an assclown from your perspective?
Tech companies market things for the convenience, it becomes status quo, and then they yank them behind subscriptions. Now car companies are doing the same thing.
After our pennies now. The end times must be coming.
I first noticed it with Adobe, because that was one I actually used. I got the program, moved it from computer to computer, no problem.
Then they came out with the New and Improved and ....wanted me to subscribe yearly?
lol fuck that. I am not paying you the full cost for a software and then paying again and again and again, so you can move a few buttons, rename a few features, and call it an upgrade.
I still got the disc so I keep moving the old one from computer to computer, no problem.
Make sure you log on to Adobe’s website and deactivate the instance on the old computer before installing on the new one. They’ll limit how many times you can install it if you don’t do that. Ask me how I know!
tek's comic on veggie eating has reminded me I was gonna share a Not Doom Related story this morning:
So, for years now, I have been making various versions of asparagus, trying to land on one that the spawn and I both can tolerate, cause hubby likes asparagus. I dunno if my spawn have the same issue I do, but those stronger veggies- sprouts, asparagus, even broccoli if done certain ways- tend to trigger my gag reflex, it is an actual thing, unless they are reaaallly camouflaged. Like drowning in cheese or in a sauce sort of thing (and even then sometimes I have to choke it down).
So I found one recipe for Asparagus that the spawn and I could live with. It was roasting it, with olive oil, and tossing it in parmesan, and other herbs and spices. Been using that for a couple years now, and though it still is a struggle, I can eat it without gagging.
Last night hubby told me he did not like it roasted. So now I never have to make asparagus again (not really, I will just have to go back to finding a steamed recipe that I can swallow).
Moral of the story: I wish someone would bribe ME to eat my veggies.
My asparagus patch is relatively small, and when it starts it grows pretty fast. If the weather isn't dusty I pick it as it grows and eat it there in the garden. It's potent stuff.
It just might be genetic, related to the types of taste buds you have, which spawn could have inherited from you. I myself have a similar thing with raw onions, and though it's luckily not enough to excite a gag reflex, the effect lingers for 6 hours. I seem to lack a salivary enzyme that breaks down whatever is in raw onion, and/or I possess olfactory and gustatory receptors with particularly high affinity for that compound. No way that's not related to genetics.
On the other hand, there are certain things I have a liking for not shared by others in my family. My solution is to order those things for myself when eating out.
I think I may try something similar. I have read that lemon juice helps cut whatever it is that makes people gag, and you can never go wrong with garlic and butter.
That way it will be soft for hubby, and maybe still digestible to the rest of us
I consider it not awful roasted with butter and garlic and pepper but honestly even then it is one of those things that seems to me a little what’s the point/more a vehicle for those seasonings. Healthy enough I guess sure but lots of things are that. I don’t honestly frequently buy the stuff.
Unless the pope is going to actually use his power to publicly rebuke and ex-communicate VD Dunce, Kevin Roberts, Newt Gingrich, Steve Bannon, and all those fascist Cathaholic freax on the Supreme Klux Kourt, he can fock off with the rest of 'em.
We're seeing the hard limits on that soft power now though, right? As we watch everyone with any kind of real political, business, or religious authority supplicate themselves before $hitler.
I wonder if the dumbass orange motherfucker is going to show up with fresh bruises tomorrow for the egg festivities tomorrow.
The Power Plant and Bridge does not appear to be written by Donald Trump.
Asshole couldn’t have written it; he was being raised out of the morgue drawer by the almighty lord at the time.
Praise be to Allah
Exactly. sounds like Kegseth.

👀 The US used MQ-9 Reaper drones to protect the missing F-15E crew member by "striking Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometres of the Airman."
https://bsky.app/profile/socialmedialab.ca/post/3miqldso2fc2u
...if they knew where he was, instead of sending in drones to kill everyone within 3 kilometers, why not just...go pick him up?
"An MQ-9 Reaper typically costs about $30 million to $34 million per aircraft, depending on how the cost is measured and the year’s dollars used."
All to keep from having troops on the ground. Because that would require a declaration of war ... which these WAR CRIMINALS would never get.
Apparently the president insisting on calling it a war, which we already won, is not enough
So more mass murders/war crimes then.
"Let's go play soccer!"
MQ-9: You are military aged males. I shall now kill you.
Good, sweet jeebus. Doesn't matter who wrote it ... this is just whacked.

wow, the hinge is now in two pieces.
Very normal.
Finally!!!
Infrastructure Week is here!
It's just we're destroying, not building.
He's threatening Iran instead of US cities this time apparently.
Oooh! War crimes day! Again!
It's Anti-Infrastructure Week
Going for that war crimes trifecta...
...praise be to Allah?
Someone's screws have become undone.
Were they ever done?
...Happy Easter
Helluva Easter Morning message to wake up to.
And anssholes are cheering it on.
Just further confirmation that MAGA is a fkng CULT!
Imagine, for one second, if Biden had said Praise Be to Allah on Easter Sunday
He ate ice cream and rode a bike, that was enough apparently
He had a bad debate. He stuttered. He wore orthopedic shoes. He's old.

Yes, it is something. And sometimes we almost touch, and I value those moments. The performative ones are painful, though, because they are so almost.
I am sorry for your loss.
Could you share this writing with her?
Maybe.
Right now I am sitting with the knowledge that I was able to share it here with all of you. And that is significant.
It was very well written and indeed so important just to write it down.

They wouldn't be wrong either.
(they have to keep the name "five eyes" because ... well ... "four eyes" isn't going to work)
Oh, I dunno. It’s not like MI6 is filled with Hegseth alpha-males, so…
Maybe they can add Ukraine and be five 🥸
The US used to be the best ally.
It’s awful, isn’t it. I feel very betrayed.
Everyone does. These clowns have no idea of what they're destroying.
Sadly, they do.

That's why John Deere was sued. When you're buying a $250,000 combine, having its operation be at the whim of a company is bullshit.

Like me and peas.
No one in my family likes peas. Hubby won't even eat them, the spawn put up with them.
I only make them once every month or two.
They are crazy people though, peas are delicious! Lightly steamed so still pert, lil butter and salt, and voila!
I steam it, cut it into small pieces and toss it with angel hair pasta, lemon juice, butter, garlic, salt and lemon pepper.
I think I may try something similar. I have read that lemon juice helps cut whatever it is that makes people gag, and you can never go wrong with garlic and butter.

Bacon-wrapped and deep fried is healthy, right?
Proscuitto-wrapped
Nona Land Shark used to steam it, Mrs LS roasts it. Roasting is better, and your recipe is basically the one we use.
I'm making this for Easter. Made it before: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/41331178/
That looks good!
It is good. The best thing is you don't have to serve it hot from the oven. You can eat it warm or even room temperature.
And it'll go well with the lamb.
