All phenomena are fleeting. He/him. For those who don't know me from other social media sites: Waffles (Waf) is the name of our dog, not the name of my husband. [Update: Waf was. Marlowe is now our dog's name, not my husband's. Waf is now a name for love.]

These two quotes really really *really* make it look like ICE was used to “resolve”’ a custody dispute.

OMG ok Google. You get 1 point for this, which does not by a longshot get you out of the negative hell you're in. Tiny Chef can't redeem you but he can make you slightly less evil for one day.

Two things:

-ICE claims Bruna Ferreira was previously arrested for battery. Her lawyer disputes this.

-A source close to Karoline Leavitt claims the son has never lived with his mom.

This sounds like the beginning of a riddle.
So the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was just picked up by ICE.
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

Does Trump not realize it is himself up for sale and not Ukraine?
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

With all the pie discussion, I'm reminded of a favorite thing an elderly friend used to say about overcomplicated thinking: "But it's pie-simple." Reading the pie discourse, I'm seeing how wrong he was to say things were 'pie-simple' and that obviously overthinking things was the correct way to go.

So now they can play solitaire on desktop computers rather than Candy Crush on their phones. Neat.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

How does one sit in an audience listening to Bari Weiss and not laugh uproariously at everything she says?
"elevate charismatic figures such as Alan Dershowitz"

So, @chkenginelight.bsky.social, we've come to this. Or sunk to this.

Maybe it is because I was talking about him earlier, but this reminds me of the interview Larry King did with late-stage Marlon Brando.

Okay so we're heading into the Search for Spock portion of Trump's rewatch of the Star Trek movies while he's half-asleep I take it.

Look up Hugh Thompson jr, lady.
Leavitt: "They were suggesting to the 1.3 million active duty service members in the military that if you think an order is illegal, you don't have to follow. That's actually against the uniform code of military justice."

The point isn’t to punish Mark Kelly—tho they will try—but to make an example out of him. They want a military cowed by Trump.
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Venezuela is the new Poland.
It’s like the people behind the Fyre Festival decided to throw a little war
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Not the point, but I worked at a restaurant years ago and got a call around the holidays asking if we offered a service to fry turkeys. I laughed bc it had never occurred to me anyone would want a turkey deep-fried. Like, it's supposed to be the healthy meat, right? But here we are, decades later.
There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

It will never not be funny to me that for a while the Harry Potter play ran in two parts on separate alternating nights and many people paid $$$ to see parts 1 and 2, and then one day the producers were like, 'Oh, we can edit it into one part' and the play is still running.
Ugh I hate when I happen to be walking down 43rd as the Harry Potter play gets out and I have to bypass the fucking loser convention of literal adults dressed up in Gryffindor robes.

Galactus urging people to use toothpicks reminds me of eating my grandmother's layer cakes: you always had to be wary of toothpicks. It made eating the cake an adventure in choking and peritonitis.
Stan Lee was notorious for not giving any fucks about licensing no matter how off-model or goofy so long as the check cleared.

C'mon. Stop trying to make 'felch' happen.
we’re like 36 hours from “add a felch ruin a movie.”

Still reading the Mark Twain bio and I gotta say: he spent years paying back debt taken on because of a harebrained scheme to get rich quick. Is relieved to have paid it off. Then immediately goes for another harebrained scheme. Twain was closer to Lucy Ricardo than we like to admit.
