I have devoted my life to rescuing animals because people are lost causes.

The same women who complain they have to do everything for their husbands are strangely the ones who’ll never vote for a woman for president.

I’m sorry about your pups! Very scary.

Oh no, this is every day. On our lawn or someone else’s.

Still trying to get into the head of someone who bags their dog’s poop but then leaves the bag on the grass or sidewalk instead of disposing of it. Are they just half-sociopath? In training?

The Tesla Diner in LA is playing “Grease.” Grudging thumbs up.

I bought some organic instant coffee on sale and I love it. I’m never grinding coffee for my French Press again. On that note, can anyone tell me where I should surrender my hipster card?

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Our Department of War is run by Patrick Bateman.

Karl Jacoby @karl-jacoby.bsky.social · 18d

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

You think the Tylenol thing is crazy, wait until RFK allows physicians to prescribe you heroin for postpartum.

Look we’ve all been driven to the brink by IKEA instructions before but this is a bit much.

Joey Politano🏳️‍🌈 @josephpolitano.bsky.social · 19d

Not even 20 minutes later and I guess we’re doing 50% tariffs on IKEA for some reason. He’s a man with a plan to make life more expensive and he can’t be stopped.

We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025. Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture. The reason for this is the large scale “FLOODING” of these products into the United States by other outside Countries. It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I sweat a lot at night and have bed head, which always makes me want to clean up in the mornings. But maybe just a “military” clean at night would be the difference maker?

It’s weird I’ve taken showers for half a century and still don’t know whether I should be taking them in the morning or at night. Has this ever been solved?

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

Unsurprising that the Lilith Fair was better run than our current government.

“I found your Christmas gift while on the toilet” is probably not the way to start a text.

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.

If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

Feel like “buenos noches” could easily be mistaken for “hello nachos” and I’m okay with that.

Central Valley, CA: one restaurant known for pea soup and a farmer’s sign blaming Newsom for (checks notes) inflation. #roadtrip

@recordstoreday.bsky.social if you’re listening, I need this to be released on vinyl. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
