PikaProgress Update: 95% complete.

Under 2000 stitches to go. I can see a few spots on Pikachu that I want to fix, but I’ve promised myself I’d finish this thing before I went back to fix things I hate. I’m so close!
Ok, here’s what I came up with. I’m making 8, all will have these fabrics and then a different square in the middle, depending on the family member.

Whimsy!

Are we still doing diner journalism? Because today at a greasy spoon in Stateline, Nevada, a 65 year old birder named Maryanne told me that she likes that “Mamdonnelly” fellow and thinks that Donald Trump is a pedophile.

This is what prison is supposed to be for. But the prisons are full of people who used drugs while the criminals are running the government.

These people need to be permanently removed from society with whatever force is necessary to make the point that this cannot ever be allowed to happen again.
The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

The kid is spontaneously singing “I Want It That Way” and I honestly I think I’ve hit peak parenting.

I’m still thinking about Bari Weiss saying that Hasan Piker (extremely popular influencer) is less of a measure of where Americans are than Alan Dershowitz (extremely unpopular Epstein associate, his own neighbors won’t sell him a pierogi)

Not a movie, I want to see Westworld S5.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

There better be some severe consequences.
So, ordering enforced disappearance—an international crime.

Complaining about furries being on a social media site is like whining about there being white people at Trader Joe’s

My mom told her physical therapist she wears a mask because her husband and daughter are immunocompromised. The PT said she is too but isn't worried bc she knows if she dies she is going to heaven. Then her co-worker yelled, “Shut up Debbie you wear a seatbelt and take blood pressure meds” 👀

One reason I haven’t tried to sell anything I make is that no one would pay a fair price for some of my stuff. Like I wouldn’t sell my shocked Pikachu (pinned skeet) for less than a grand.
I’ve been working on giving myself permission to make things without placing any expectation on myself to share them, sell them, or prove something with them. It’s actually really hard for me

I am going to attempt the impossible: make placemats only using fabric I already own.

Our pediatrician’s office had the Covid booster. I’m so glad the kid will be 12 this year so next year we can just him his at Costco with the rest of us.

So the aliens thing… I’d argue it’s naive to think that there is no life anywhere else in the universe.

The question in the second post in this thread—do you think aliens have visited earth—is a much better and different question.
New polling on aliens
% of U.S. adult citizens who believe the following definitely or probably exist:
Aliens 56%
Bigfoot 28%
The Yeti 23%
The Loch Ness Monster 22%
Chupacabra 16%

I didn’t have to throw him under the bus! He’s gained about 5lbs since our last visit. Still need to get him to exercise but let’s take baby steps.
If we get to Tuesday and he hasn’t put on weight I am *absolutely* throwing him under the bus and blaming him.

Every time the kid screams “kamehameha” it’s stolen valor because he refused to watch at Dragon Ball with me.
