I'm late to the party, but I just want to point out that the House Republicans' unanimous vote for this Christofascist Mike Johnson is a sign of weakness, not of strength. His tenure as Speaker will be a one-way ticket on the fail train, and the GOP will pay for it in 2024.
Tomorrow morning, I take Shadow to his yearly ordeal - yes, it's time for his yearly visit to the vet. I have explained to him that those pokes and prods help to keep him healthy, but he doesn't believe it. He will be 21 in March, and other than taking him to be fixed and when he had a UTI, his only visits to the vet have been these yearly check-ups.

Wonder why my subconscious dredged that one up? Like I need more proof that I am A Old.
Had a dream where I was at sort of a quasi-potluck, where everyone had gone around to restaurants for take-out, and when we got together, went around explaining, "I got [dish] from [restaurant] because [reason]." There was a TV on in the next room, and I heard "Thanks for the Memories" start up, but I didn't think much of it, until I heard "Bob Hope" sing "COVID-19". That WTF made me go into the room where the TV was, and I saw it was some black-haired guy with a moustache doing a Bob Hope impression so accurate I had thought it was really him.
I haven't really thought about Bob Hope in years, except for reading that joke about the world today:
"Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope have all died. In a world where we have no Jobs, no Cash, and no Hope, I really hope at least Kevin Bacon is doing all right..."
After three yutes were shot in nearby small town -one fatally- Moms are loudly agitating for ‘somebody’ (cops, Mayor, etc.) to ‘do something’. A modest proposal: My Mom, while not a Gazpacho, was hardcore & made it abundantly clear that every square inch under her roof was fair game so long as I chose to live there. No drawer, closet or purse (if she smelled smoke on me) was sacred. Thus, no booze, drugs or weapons would escape her eagle eye. It wasn’t complicated.

This will be the second week I've been sick with this. Laura brought it home. She's going to work today...in the snow. I planned to have this weekend off for Mile High Con and didn't go because of the cold.

1817: Simon Bolivar is elected President of Venezuela.
1831: Nat Turner is arrested for leading a slave revolt.
1905: Czar Nikolai II issues an edict granting Russians some basic civil rights, including a legislature. Feeling that he'd been coerced into it, he never felt morally bound by his own edict. (Note that Russia at the time used the Julian calendar, and he issued the manifesto on October 17th).

1995: Quebec votes to remain part of Canada. Hooray!
Saying "We need a strong GOP" is like saying "every vital organ needs a LITTLE malignant cancer."

He's heard about 'Youths In Asia'.
Some IA oddness....

Being a yank, I interpreted IA as Iowa until I clicked.
Could work for that too.
Miss Iowa has kinda dropped standards this year.
That's a load of carbo
It's the 'trap' bit that bothers me the most.
Without cheese escape would be trivial
Yeah.... nah..
'Trap is a slang term used in English-language online anime communities to describe a biologically male character with an attractive androgynous or feminine appearance, and is often performed by voice actresses'
I am too old to understand anime, I will just have to live with that.
Iowa?
I'm not judging.
Something nice to start this week. May it be less shitty than last week.

If they need some crocs, snakes and some murder budgies to take up the slack until wildcat numbers start to inflict fatal attacks, we can help out.
Murder budgies? Australia has fucking MURDER BUDGIES?
Well... budgie is a bit of a misnomer.... it's a bird that is 6 feet high with a 5 inch dagger claw.
more of a murder chicken then
Yeah... it's hard to notice with the other stuff out there. The only killer snail on the planet? Guess where that lives?
Wait, don't tell me.....
I had no idea Texas independent oil men were Scottish.
There are millions of Scots!

Told my husband last night that I am just for the people of Gaza.

Did your mom shoot those guys? I'd take that lesson to heart too.
Fair question. No - she & moms of her ilk are a dying (dead) breed. Needless to say, signed the lease on my first apt. weeks before my 18th birthday😏
I really think the internet died when Hot or Not started.
Today Denver is Not Hot. It's like 14 degrees (F).
35C in Sydney today.
A good one, but I think it started when Zuckerberg couldn't get laid at Harvard, and created a revenge pron dating site.
Morning all. ☕

Good morning!🌞
Thank the gods for Nyquil. I slept all night. I have a very sore throat this morning, but I don't have to go to work, so it's all good.
'I don't do illegal drugs anymore. Now I just do the legal drugs. Tonight I'm on NyQuil and Sudafed. Let me tell you something, folks. Forget about cocaine and heroin.

You might run a humidifier when you take it. That might help with the sore throat.
Glad that you were able to sleep all night and don't have to go to work so that you can rest today.
This will be the second week I've been sick with this. Laura brought it home. She's going to work today...in the snow. I planned to have this weekend off for Mile High Con and didn't go because of the cold.
I am taking on horizontal.
Do not try to change my mind.
I still love you all.
Good this Night, friends.
Good morning!

But you got there.
And I got all of the neighbors!
YOU.
I mean You - you know who you are.
Stop being an ass.
We all here love you.
Be who you are, and be friends with us, okay?

Orson Welles proved that many Americans are idiots.
First proof of the power of the media. Johnny Carson repeated it with the Great Toilet Paper Kerfuffle, but he used television.
