I might keep a running list of things I’m throwing away to make room in the garage. The first thing out today was a 10lb. brick of clay that dried into a doorstop about 20 years ago. Time to go.

If we can’t read Bram Stoker's Dracula together whilst enjoying a vintage bottle of Château Margaux paired with dark chocolate tiramisu in front of a crackling fire in a Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cool October night with the sound of wolves in the distance, then what’s the point?

Have you seen this woman recently? Kat/Kater/Katelyn Mulder has vanished. Her car was recovered in pierce co after a police chase- the driver claimed to be Katelyn but was not. Katelyn’s dog was found tied to a fence hours away from home (and succumbed to neglect). Her fam & friends are scared 💔

I work in this wonderland that is part Global Corporation, a little bit frat party, and a whole lotta shoes. We have a person whose title is something like “Workplace Experience Manager” and her job is maybe the most complicated of any in our region. She handles everything from building maintenance to what sort of coffee beans are loaded into the coffee machines.

Hilarious when you understand that he thinks the Nobel committee will give him a Peace Prize for his "work" to end one armed conflict while actively fomenting another in his own country. Like Norwegians can't see our Frog.

a lot of people are not going to survive the next few years. and it's hard to see any way to stop that from happening. if there's a collapse, people die of starvation and lack of medicine and all kinds of shit. if there isn't, the government openly wants to murder lots of people.

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

Now we have the DOJ claiming the right to provoke protesters into violence, so they can use violence against protesters.

All of Trump’s fascist goons are drooling at the prospect of murdering protesters, and not even hiding it.

Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News @froomkin.bsky.social · 1d

Judge who has been asked to block National Guard deployment in Chicago asks DOJ a key question: What if it's the feds who are provoking the violence, rather than stopping it? DOJ says it doesn't matter.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 1d

Perry asks again whether, if the inability to execute the law is b/c of the feds' "own provocation, does that matter under the law?"

Hamilton: "No, if that were true, the fact still remains that we are seeing sustained violence against federal personnel and property in Illinois."

The 15th will be the first missed paycheck for federal employees if the government doesn’t reopen. This is what military see when they try to access their pay statements. One soldier told me they’ve never seen “currently not available” in 20+ years.
