Well, tbh, while we're stuck with a president who said "If she wasn't my daughter, I'd date her," the whole who*is* family and who*isn't* hits a little bit differently.

"The more arbitrary power a regime has, the less democratic it is, the more likely it will kill its subjects or foreigners.

The conclusion is that power kills, absolute power kills absolutely." - RJ Rummel www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/P...

Little nod to Ivanka and daddy pix in this one:

Crop of earlier images showing one with a family group in what looks like a church pew. Adult male has his weirdly-proportionrd arm wrapped around a maybe 9-yr old girl child dressed in pink dress and bonnet. Adult woman wearing gloves sits on the other side of the man, looking towards the girl, and a boy with his attention forward sits beyond the woman.

Brain MRI to look for dementia plaque and drs said it was "positive" and he took that as meaning "the best" because being positive is a good thing, right?

I'm always happy that I gain an hour PLUS the 20 min it would take to change the car clocks and old basement clock radio.

Any business that contracts with the WH now is complicit. They likely plan to eat the cost, but expect to earn favors.

Will they get those favors? I hope they never do.

Soylent Green lines.

Or probably more likely, Soylent Brown.

When you are with your small children and bad government sprays you all with chemicals, is it an "air mask in the airplane" situation where you should wash your own eyes out first, while your children scream in pain? Or do you attempt to wash their eyes first, even though you are unable to see?

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

We imprisoned the low-level fucks that tried the coup, but didn't charge with treason the upper-level fucks that incited and funded them.

It just dawned on me. tRump has the Epstein files and is now using them to bribe the others on the list!

And what they're giving is not "funding" the military. Those millions work out per service member to equal less than the cost of dinner for 4 at Applebee's.

Wait - hear me out:
Drizzle on top of a Bloody Mary, but fancy, like baristas do with foam on lattes.

Why is it that even though I've never bought this, and would never try it, just by reading the label specific flavor memories have combined in my mouth, and I know exactly what this tastes like.

Bette Lasky @bethlasky.bsky.social · 3d

Maybe blow up all the mattresses, and stack them Princess and the Pea style. Then if even one stays inflated, the kid won't be on the floor?

I still sometimes dream about a novel I started reading at an elderly relative's home when I was 9. It was antique and beautiful, with amazing illustrations.

I got 4 chapters in. I don't know what the story was anymore. It feels like a chronically unfinished part of my life; I'm over 60.
