I have been on a run of dirty martinis for a bit because the gin we made ourselves in London last year suits them perfectly, and I still have another entire bottle of it to use.

Otherwise, I am a standard 2:1 dry martini drinker. I only make them at home, so I can keep the gin in the freezer.

Everybody is a "keep 'em busy" parent, whether they care about being smart or not.

That sucks. Get well soon!

Explain your username

It's just my name. I was never one for "handles" and was online early enough that it easy to get briank in many places. Later I had to start adding numbers, so I picked a number I wouldn't forget and it almost always works

I reaallly do not want to go give tours today. I have three weeks left to go on this gig, but it has worn me the fuck out. I look forward to a long winter of doing absolutely nothing.

On Tuesday, when it was 50 degrees outside, chicken pot pie sounded like a great idea. It was 80 degrees here today and now I have heated up the whole house.

One day post-Covid and flu shots, feeling okay so far except my arm hurts like a sumbitch.

But remember, DO NOT register on websites for protests. Just go! And be safe!

Wherever you are, please make an effort to show up on the 18th.

“Form a circle, form a circle.” They do not want us to see what they are doing in Portland. Low hanging fruit for us. This was posted 3 hours ago. 1/2

Imagine the reaction if Democrats posted all the Republican senators with little Hitler mustaches and the Horst Wessel song playing in the background. Believe me, if I had any Photoshop abilities myself, I would be working on that right now.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 8d

Ted Cruz just posted a video montage with photos of every Democratic senator altered to make them wear sombreros and mustaches. It’s set to the song Macarena.

What the fuck are we doing here?

Ted Cruz v @tedcruz
X.com
The 44 Senate Democrats who voted for Schumer's Shutdown should know that the Sombrero posting will continue until they re-open our government.
Hey, Macarena!

It's a disgrace. Katherine Graham is spinning in her grave.

Note that these fuckers VOLUNTEERED to invade their own city. They deserve all the abuse that should be coming their way. Traitorous bastards.

I hope they enjoy picking up the trash like their comrades in DC.

The Oregon National Guard said it has begun the process of mobilizing guard members with law enforcement experience to comply with President Donald Trump’s deployment order for 200 troops in Portland, but it could be next week before there are actual boots on the ground.

At least 166 Oregon National Guard members have volunteered for Trump deployment

Lt. Col. Stephen Bomar, director of public affairs for the Oregon Military Department, said Thursday is the absolute earliest the guard could arrive in Portland – but he wouldn’t bet on that.

What's the app, and does it run on Android? I need to do a bunch of cleanup.

Same thing for my wife, who got hers a couple of weeks ago. I have an appointment to get mine on Thursday, so we'll see how it goes for me.
