Cardio helps me when it gets bad.

Can't disagree.

The way he said "nineteen-hundred and ninety-one" aged this Gen-Xer considerably.

He's holding a weapon to the head of the American economy, looking around feverishly at any country who dares make eye contact and shouts "Give me $300 billion or I'll shoot!"

My theory is he used that word because he's looking at an attractive woman while saying it.

First they came for the criminal undocumented immigrants.
Then they came for the undocumented immigrants.
Then they came for the documented naturalized citizens.
Then they came for those born here to undocumented immigrants.

Do you think they will stop there?

I've had some beautiful females parked for minutes at a time on my feeder recently.

I feel an itch towards action. A constant physical pull.

This tingling in my sense of what's right hasn't stopped for months.

I did the exact same. Learned some hard lessons that way.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?

I remember Publix used to make paper bags specifically for wrapping our school books back in the 80s.

My algorithm doesn't generally include his music, but damn that set slapped and now I'm checking out his latest album.

I'm in the diy led art space, and everything I use comes from China. There is no other source.

My brain and stomach are vibrating with anxiety. Not great, but cats help.

I am grateful for Max, and his mom.

Timeline break: Max is here to check on you #Catsky

Photo: an extremely handsome brown and black striped tabby cat: Max is standing at the threshold of a doorway between kitchen and balcony. Blurred in the far background is Sam, another gorgeous tabby cat in silver and white, laying like a stunning Rubenesque model ready to be painted.

Max is facing us and standing on three legs while his front arm is outstretched, reaching and extending under the camera. We can see his little fingers are spread as he widens his paw to touch us. He is looking at us as if he's concerned and is reaching out a hand. Max is the check-in cat. He is here for you. When this photo was taken Max actually tapped me with his paw like he was saying: 'Hey, stop for a minute, I am here.' Sometimes when I'm asleep and I have a nightmare, I wake up because Max is doing exactly this, a few taps and then he lays on me, all draped over like I'm a big log or tree branch, and then settling in on me and purring. 'No bad dreams; I am here now.' (That's what I say to Max when I gently wake him from kitty nightmares.) I often wonder if I was making nightmare noises when he does that. Max is the check-in cat. He is here for you. We are all doing Herculean amounts of emotional inventory management right now. It's okay to look up.

Congressman Don Beyer @beyer.house.gov · Feb 3

Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration.

Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.
