Please stop attacking the frailty of a 79-year-old. That is not the problem; it is a distraction.

His blatant disregard for law and the Constitution are the problem.
His overt white supremacy is the problem.
His blatant corruption is the problem.

Keep your eye on the ball, k?

You gotta dig a little deeper...

Having a Gumbo

Enchanted Recipe #10: Tiana's Gumbo, Surf and Turf Gumbo with Stewed Okra, Chicken, and Shrimp "Gumbo, a classic Louisiana dish, warms the heart and brings people of all stripes together." - Thibaud Villanova, Enchanted Recipes With the exception of Ratatouille there might not be a Disney movie where cooking, and food bringing people together, is more of a central theme than…

I have never ever heard a #ProLife person explain why people outside the womb don't count as "life"

I'd like to understand how taking food away from children aligns with the sanctity of all life...

It's like if a friend borrows your classic, antique, beautifully preserved car, puts it in a crusher, and brings a replacement that is a gold-colored cybertruck with dildos welded all over it and you're supposed to be appreciative of the "gift"

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Contentment is amazing. It is frowned upon in the workplace far too often.

I'm tired of the pressure of always striving for more, better, faster. Money, career, productivity.

I'm a human who lives, not a machine to be tuned.

For a while, I want to just exist comfortably, do meaningful things, rest, enjoy life with loved ones, be creative for the fun of it.

This is such a clear example that Trump thinks things belong to him, personally, rather than coming with the Office of President of the United States. It will take generations for the USA to recover from the current regime's lunacy.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

The last time Republicans made a good-faith argument on any topic, the year started with "19"

It's just ridiculous.

Yay: I'm calling an API to change a data source connection and it succeeds.

Boo: It doesn't actually change anything.

How is your day?
