"We'll negotiate on healthcare after we reopen the government" is the most obvious wallet inspector line ever even if you weren't dealing with someone whose entire career was telling people he was the wallet inspector and taking their wallets

Oooh! I saw the silver mask CC the other week, but I have made myself promise not to start collecting the 6" Joe's. That one was real, real tempting though.

A younger staffer sent the unsuspecting Baileys on a swingers cruise and, while they did not participate, they came back to dry land with a little bit more empathy and a greater appreciation for their neighbors.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

They're just teasing the Jan-June lineup on socials so far. I'm guessing tix will probably go up in November.

I wish they'd get an acct going on Bluesky (I sneak over to twitter to keep up with them).

[This really would be the best bit. Just walk into the theater every few minutes and watch from the corner of the screen. Come in one time with an apron, another with a rake, and so on.]

Gonna open an art gallery but it’s just all of the old fake movie posters from Chuck E. Cheese.

Chuck E. Cheese parody movie posters for INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, BATMAN, BEETLEJUICE, BEVERLY HILLS COP, GONE WITH THE WIND, JAWS, TOOTSIE, THE WIZARD OF OZ and CROCODILE DUNDEE.
