I’m still angry that at one point in pop music history there was a song called. “yummy yummy yummy (I’ve got love in my tummy)”

Just…. Why? WHY?

Disgusted by the decision of Paramount+ to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert? LET THEM KNOW. Here’s a link to the feedback form.

Apart from licensed shows, fireworks are illegal in Portland. But people can just go across the river to Vancouver and get all the illegal fireworks they want. Bad enough on the 4th, but they were popping off all day and night on the 5th, and probably will be heard today as well. Neato!

Just received a gross email from the Social Security administration “applauding“ the passage of the “big beautiful Bill” & how “great” it will be for seniors. Dude, read the room. Many are not “applauding.” Sent a feedback form about it, but doubt that anyone at the Trumpy SSA will give a shit.

Nothing to celebrate here, move along.

I can tell the BBBad thing just happened because I’ve received a fresh cascade of frantic messages from Dem politicians begging for money. Too soon, guys. If nothing any of us did or said helped stop this, what good is donating money to you now gonna do? Cuz I sure don’t see it.

In the past eight hours, I’ve gotten 19 texts (and counting) from different Democratic politicians frantically begging for money. Someone - Act Blue? - clearly sold my phone number to every Dem politician in the United States. I do not appreciate it. Life is stressful enough. Geez.

This morning alone I’ve had 10 “URGENT!” “BREAKING!” texts from democratic politicians begging for money so they can fight Trump. I want to fight Trump, sure. But I don’t have money to donate to every Dem pol in the US. (just venting, based on engagement stats here, nobody will see this.)

Pissed off about Congress passing the “big billionaire bounty“ bill in the dead of night? Contact your senators right now and ask them to vote NO - and also to try to convince other Senators to do the same. Five calls is a great way to contact your elected officials. Call every day.

I vote for people I believe in to represent me, and I pay my taxes. Why do I have to keep “chipping in”?

The system is beyond broken. Most working and retired Americans struggle to afford necessities. We shouldn’t have to hold the equivalent of bake sales to keep our party afloat.

Trump sold off billions in “Truth Social” stock right before crashing the market. If anyone anywhere believes that he has the country’s best interest at heart, newsflash. He doesn’t.

I grew up reading books like 1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451 and Lord of the Flies. Never in a million years did I expect to be living in an unholy mashup of all of these dystopian futures. And the cherry on top of the shit sundae is that all these books will be banned, if they aren’t already.

Happy Hatch Day, Marco! Emerged from his shell to grace the world with his quirky sweetness a year ago today. Love this little nerd!

Bummer headline, ray of hope resolution. Kudos to CBS and 60 Minutes for running the story. Definitely worth a watch.

Remember that one bully in middle school who was just horrible to you, and the other kids sided with them because they were terrified that they would be the next target, so even more horrible things happened, and you hated life every day? That’s what we have in the White House right now.

This small delicate spider built her web under a cabinet next to the sink. I’m very careful not to damage the web - in fact now I regularly funnel sugar ants into it. We get along just fine. Bon Apetit, Susan the Spider.
