Xur and the Kodan Armada

My guess is he knew as of last weekend and that's why those of us who'd forgotten he existed suddenly had his name littering our newsfeeds for the last few days.

They ran Board of Peace through a Monroe Doctrine filter and came up with a convenient way to sideline Kristi.

Yeah, any of the above. Still falls under the general category of sex toys & supplies.

Turns Out, Kristi Noem’s Plane Freakout Wasn’t Over a Blanket Here’s the real reason the homeland security secretary fired (and then rehired) a Coast Guard pilot.

I thought it was a joke but the world has gotten so unhinged that I looked it up. And then wished I hadn't.

Literally i will run for president 2028 on the sole promise to close the camps and execute every ICE agent

Nicest weather that I've seen recently, and the days are finally long enough for some sunlight after work. Went for a short walk & tai chi session in the park and it felt AMAZING to get outside for a few minutes.

Warming up leftovers and reading one of the several books I have in progress.

Says the guy who made personally destroying the possessions of unhoused people into a photo op.

You've just described it in a way that might get me to watch it.

Basically, just like every other half-assed reboot, everything good about it was done before. Specifically 1992 in this case. Do you know how badly you have to fuck up an adaptation of public domain literature to make me write it off as pointless and derivative?

Saw the new Dracula. It wasn't...bad. But it was disappointing in a way that is making me consider giving up on theater releases entirely.

I'm sick of being fed slop, AI or otherwise.

Whoever they think it might be was hanging out with me in another state at the time.

Just before I was eligible for the shingles vaccine I discovered the hard way that you can get shingles in your eye. Nothing more fun than spending a few days with your eye swollen shut and wondering if you got on antivirals fast enough to save your vision. (I did.)

I swear there's gotta be a group of staffers who get together every week and try to one-up each other on the most ridiculous crap they talked him into.

Every time Trump speaks, I'm reminded of how Spock saw there was something very off with how disjointed this speech was and then I'm dismayed that John Gill was still way more coherent than what we get to witness.

What scares me is that DHS will likely use this as an excuse to literally abandon children in the streets when parents are deported.

I hope no ICE agent can ever go to sportsball events ever again because they're retraumatized every time the ref stops play.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

I used to have a job selling custom cocktail napkins. When I had to drive into work in a blizzard because upper management didn't feel like granting remote work permission, I mostly felt crushed because I put something pointless ahead of my own safety.

These days, it feels that way all the time.

My college had an evangelical club that passed out Chick tracts as part of their weekly tabling sessions. I collected them and filed formal hate speech complaints when they used titles that targeted specific groups. The clubs coordinator got real sick of my face.

Ok, serious question. How do people's crafting hobbies coexist with cats? Especially fiber crafts.

I'm trying to hand stitch a basic clothing repair and the biggest challenge is convincing my cat he needs to be anywhere in the house other than on my lap.

At least the jacket is wearable again.

I want to see them try though. Pretty sure they're as good at it as this guy was at tree climbing.

For the past couple weeks, I've been in situations where people are usually grumpy but this time were weirdly warm and cheerful.

The optimistic side of me that refuses to die thinks people have collectively decided that the world sucks so everyone needs to make their own corner of it better.

I learned the hard way a month & a half before I was eligible for the vaccine that shingles can get in your eye, but I dodged a bullet on the permanent vision damage part.

Guess how fast after I became eligible that I got that vax. A couple days of feeling like crap is nothing in comparison.

Dammit, he heard people referring to his cabinet as a clown car and it gave him ideas.

STRANGER THINGS 6

Yeah, they've gone beyond the cliché of "the cruelty is the point" and they're publicly celebrating the cruelty, the incompetence, and the knowledge they'll get away with it.

A few months ago I would have chosen to believe it was lack of media literacy. But by now they obviously know what they're saying.
