Reminder: The guy demanding credit for a ceasefire in Gaza is the same guy instigating a civil war here at home.

Chump is gonna be insufferable if this peace plan works out.

But I don't care who does it... let's get it done.

Good morning you lovely humans, how the heck are you? Congrats to the Toronto #BlueJays for beating my beloved, beleaguered, NY #Yankees. You've got a really good team, there- good luck in the continuing playoffs!

A Blue Jay bird sits on my bird feeder. This is a youngster, I think, and the beauty of his blue feathers hasn't fully come in. He's looking at the camera with his head tilted. He has silly feet like a dinosaur.

My daughter and her normally sane wife did this two years ago. Baby is in disguise.

An infant is sitting in a carved out pumpkin -holes have been carved and the baby’s adorable chunky legs are sticking out. Baby is wearing a pumpkin shaped orange hat

I just think I’d look better carrying my NO KINGS sign if I was an inflatable emu. Or maybe a T. rex. Or a chicken.

We had a chicken come to our house a couple of years ago. Dog was baffled.

I really wish people wouldn’t take pictures of me and then show them to me. I no longer recognize myself. I ask “who is that old person with the unflattering haircut?”. Aging is weird.

Wait- my boyfriend has another girlfriend?

@OldAndCranky @oldandcranky.bsky.social · 12h

I have at least one I’m able to articulate but I’m way too old to comment.

@OldAndCranky @oldandcranky.bsky.social · 12h

Oh- I adore that. I must have it!

I suspected as much.

Ooooh, there’s an emu one??

And very cool. Last year I did see a lovely inflatable chicken, though.

God, that I don't believe in, please grant me the courage to care for a two year old for two whole days. I may convert momentarily.

I do love an inflatable T Rex. This is true.

I think I should perhaps buy a frog inflatable frog costume to show solidarity with the protestors in war ravaged Portland. I really am leaning towards a t-rex, though. I mean, they're so cool. T-Rexes are the coolest dinosaur.

Am I too old to buy an inflatable Halloween costume? And which one should I buy?

Would you two like to adopt an old lady?
