My laptop’s last cover component arrived today. I love it so very much.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business.

You’re in organized crime.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Good morning and Happy Family Thanksgiving from the Six-Sided Chateau.

Crust for chocolate pie has been baked and is cooling. Cracktot casserole is baking now.

The dress I ordered to wear today may or may not be here before we leave for my cousin’s. 🙃 Oop.

If you've got the steam and you want to stay in that fight, more power to ya. I mean that.
But a grown-ass adult who's chosen to support a racist fascist rapist idiot is not someone to whom you have an obligation, especially if they're an older relative who was supposed to be looking out for you.

Went to the Midnight Madness at the sister shop to my local and your mail-order comics shop @thirdeyecomics.bsky.social to pick up some goodies for the players in my D&D campaign. Super nice folks and a very handsome sale!

(Had to go tonight - chocolate pie won’t bake itself in the morning.)

When I was a kid, the only Native representation I saw in cartoons was A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special.

I made Pow! to show that modern, funny Native characters deserve to be seen too. Watch us on FNX. If you like it, review us on @letterboxd.social and tell your friends!

Lift others up at every opportunity. #WereAllInThisTogether
One day when I was on the corner waiting for my son’s preschool bus to drop him off, a teenage girl walking home (the high school and the preschool got out at the same time) waved at me and said “I love your ENTIRE look EVERY DAY!”
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

grease floats.

when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.

the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.

listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.

Anyone who claims working retail is easy and undeserving of a living wage should be forced to work one Black Friday weekend at a major big box store.

If you're going out to engage in mass consumerism this weekend (which you shouldn't), do not behave like a prick toward the workers.
As we enter into sales-season, please remember, the person behind the counter, (et al) is not responsible for the pressure that you've stacked on your own back. Best of all, keep your money, stay your ass at home and spend time with the people you love.

Someone needs to set up a camera so we'll know when Pete Hegseth orders this plaque removed from West Point.
Here’s the plaque at West Point with the relevant text highlighted

A real Secretary of Defense would know any attempt to recall a sitting representative to active duty violates the Constitution and federal law.
