Is this an open thread? Will I go to Wonkette jail if it's not?

I hope someone used the line "Jesus is coming. Look busy!"

I thought the line was "Jesus is coming, and he doesn't pull out."

No, he needs to be publicly shamed. The majority of Americans use the post office services regularly--meaning daily--either receiving correspondence, packages, prescription medicine, etc. Because Orange Foolius knows he is going to lose this time because his bullshit and Russia's machinations won't help him he has decided to pull a fascist trick to stay in office and this millionaire donor is helping him and screwing America. F*ck him! I say go after day and night. Follow him around. Make his life a living hell. Push him to the breaking point and then over the edge.

I lived there for part of the '90s. Lots of good memories.

i think it is a tactic best reserved for a situation just like this. When the postal service is being used for grift and voter suppression, we need to bring ALL the non violent protest.

I thought it might be gout when something like this happened in 2015. This time I know that I tweaked my toe really bad on Thurs night, so I'm thinking it's a sprain or something.

I am at risk for gout, though, due to bad diet and caffeine consumption. Had kidney stones, but they weren't uric acid. They were oxylate. If it's still bad on Monday I'll get a doctor.

Sort of related, apparently we had a bat fly in the window into our bedroom last night. After husband opened the shutters, it was able to navigate its own way out again.

I was blissfully unaware of this until this morning.

Hey, hey, there are Cuban exiles who believe Marquito is an asshole and let him know it.

be ready to pay a lot of late fees, and to spend hours on the phone trying to track down a human being to explain just why they haven't gotten this month's mortgage payment/cable payment'electricity payment. Those companies won't feel it- they'll just stick it to you, the little guy ("and across him all we flung ONE SHINING STEEL RAIL")

Salt is a flavor-enhancer, super cheap, and works. Too much is bad, obvsly.

It also serves purposes in cooking. For example, America’s Test Kitchen says that when brining meat, the sodium and chloride ions replace calcium and magnesium ions to allow moisture to penetrate more easily. The ion exchange process is like water softening.
