The California dmv website is running slow. And the @farmriooficial.bsky.social and Gap Banana Republic websites won’t let me see the photos of what the clothes look like from the back. George Orwell warned me there’d be days like this.

The Color Max 3 can produce unblieveable graphics... (Source.)

An image of three jack o'lanterns, produced on the Color Max 3. The two pumpkins in the background are orange; the front pumpkin has a black pilgrim's hat and is red, orange, yellow, second yellow, white, blue, and purple. In the background, a witch flies through a starry sky, while a cloud partially covers a new moon. From the October 1987 issue of THe Rainbow Magazine.

Uh-oh…it turns out JP Morgan Chase has flagged $1 billion in “suspicious” transactions involving Jeffrey Epstein and prominent Wall Street figures, and notified the Trump admin back in 2019.

PSA: Harp covers look like giant oven mitts. 🪉

The image shows two harp covers in a concert setting, one in blue and one in red, positioned on a wooden stage. There's a music stand and a black chair visible, with a person partially in the background.

We are in a serious govt shutdown, but instead of negotiating, Trump posted several pics of his WH bathroom remodel today and now this. He is currently headed to Palm Beach for another golf weekend.

The White House and the GOP are playing Hunger Games with vulnerable U.S. families, including tens of millions of children. They’re allowing SNAP benefits to run out tomorrow while claiming they’re powerless to stop it. They’re lying, and I have the receipts. My write-up is in the replies.

Remember when Texas Dems broke quorum & in response TX AG Paxton & Gov Abbot demanded their arrest & removal from office?

Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of last 100 days, absent since Sept 19, & he still won't swear in Rep-elect Grijalva.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

A couple of people got big mad at me for reading too much into JD’s fun anecdote about him and his kids threatening each other on the Katie Miller podcast, but I do not believe he is a good dad to those kids bsky.app/profile/timp...

I don't feel bad at all for JD Vance's wife, she's a dead-eyed Yale striver who wants this as bad as him and made a conscious choice to put on the populism skinsuit. But I do feel kinda bad for his kids. No matter how insulated, imagine being a brown kid named Vivek and that being your dad.

Friendly reminder that Republicans are garbage, entirely devoid of empathy, compassion, or honor. They are terrified little babies who are filled with hate, scared to death of anything they don't understand. And they don't understand most things, because they are also deeply incurious.

When I think about all the guys I was madly in love with back in high school and how those guys ended up becoming pet husbands for their wives to take care of, leaving messes everywhere and weaponizing inabilities of using basic household appliances… I am staying blessed.

Did you know that you can track your cycle on your #iphone ? The government agent monitoring me online sure does. Also fun when I’m in the middle of doing something actually important and Siri interrupts me to tell me my period is going to happen at any moment this upcoming month. Really specific.
