Planning a trip to Disneyworld? Go to Disneyland in California, Tokyo Disneyland, or Disneyland Paris! Don’t give Florida your money!
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Elon Musk inherited a lot of money from his rich daddy, and he is currently driving his businesses into the ground with his ineptitude.

Donald Trump inherited a lot of money from his rich daddy and drove his businesses into the ground with is ineptitude.

America, stop thinking rich men are smart.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Saw #Wicked again. Took note of smashed glass:
1. Kiamo Ko - winged monkeys
2. Galinda’s private suite - Elphaba breaks window before “What is this Feeling?”
3. Dr. Dillamond’s Class - vase of poppies (glass?)
4. Morrible’s classroom - Elphaba levitates coin through display case. 1/3

Learning curve: attempted to bake a Trader Joe’s banana loaf cake in my air fryer (with no instructions for air frying on the box).
For a disaster, it’s delicious! (Note to self: Next time, add pecans, fill the cake pan only HALF full, and fill silicone muffin molds with the remaining batter!)

My apartment is too small for a tree. And I don’t put up ornaments every year. This year I felt the need for my version of some festive holiday decorations. A few of these ornaments are not in great shape, but are irreplaceable.

I don't think the actor Earl Holliman, who just died at 96, officially came out, so I was touched to see his passing confirmed by his husband. His first screen role was in 1952; he came up when, for an actor, coming out was not difficult but impossible. He lived through things we'll never know. RIP.

Sign at Branch House Riverfront cafe, ReddinG:

“BEYOND THIS POINT
Shoes, shirts & bottoms required.”

This seems awfully specific.

What happened here that they had to require people to wear bottom clothing?

As a gay senior citizen, I find the best way to assuage fears of- and work up the courage to stand up and fight- the coming political hellscape, is working on a detailed craft project. Only 82 cross stitch lines to go.
