Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

Watching this Packers-Eagles game as a Packers fan like I was watching the shutdown news last night: “No! What are you doing?!? FFS!”

My adult children met up today in a new-to-them city (Vancouver) to hang out together and I didn’t plan or pay for ANY of it! They did it on their own. So proud.

Found! Police wondered if they were stolen but I honestly think they rolled out of my back hatch. Life is pretty bizarre. 🎳

Trying to be an optimist here. If the House has to reconvene to discuss a deal, that would mean Johnson has to swear in Adelita Grijalva, right? And then the Epstein files could be released before a final vote for the shutdown deal? Just wondering.

It’s crazy that a Democratic senator who represents Illinois could see everything this administration is doing in Chicago and its suburbs and vote to reopen the government. Like these should be the Senators demanding so much more than everyone else to reopen the government.

The people staying at our rental in Green Bay this weekend for the Eagles-Packers game had their flight canceled yesterday.
As Trump enjoyed “the greatest flyover ever” on his way back from Florida, other fliers were left stranded by mass flight cancellations.

We watched “A House of Dynamite” last night and were talking about actor Jared Harris because we saw him at our hotel in Winnipeg a few weeks ago. In “AHOD,” he’s the secretary of defense and my husband says, “So this is Pete Hegseth in real life” and we laughed and laughed. I’d prefer Harris. 💣💣

I believe that the starving families were not considered bad enough to end the shutdown but the canceled flights will be, which is so incredibly depressing

True story: I somehow managed to lose my bowling ball — bag and everything. I think it rolled out of my car at a stop on my way to roller skating (because I found the hatch up). My husband is dubious — but look at what I just saw on a walk today. This is not mine but proof it maybe happened?

What I don’t get is why we haven’t demanded that the pay going to not-working House representatives be redirected to pay the working air traffic controllers?

Who books an international flight to an exotic location the day the government announces flight reductions? This girl. ✈️🤞 Gonna hope for the best or turn it into a wild travel story if it all falls apart.

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!
Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!
