"Antiques Roadshow" trending alongside "Aaron Rogers" would have been perfect if the Steelers had had to travel to Texas for the game last night.

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - CONNECTICUT STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 139🚨

Democrat: Larry Pemberton

Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, JANUARY 13TH🗓️

Area: Norwich

Notes: Given low turnout in CT specials and R strength downballot in CT, the GOP could flip this seat from blue-to-red, and we do NOT want that headline.

Damn! Has Donnie gone to England? "London Crime" is trending alongside "Donald Trump."

WARNING to any aliens resembling brown packing paper:
AVOID THIS HOUSE.
During the night here, one or more of the indoor cats had a drag-out, knock-down (okay, shredding) fight with brown paper from a Chewy box. I have found torn and tattered remains all over the place.

I entered the USMC in 1970, did infantry training at Camp Lejeune, and somehow managed to miss any references to this. I was aware that black Marines tended to keep to themselves, but I mostly kept to my own little bubble anyway, trying to reach the end of my enlistment.
⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️

🧵 On July 20, 1969 — the night America celebrated the moon landing — Camp Lejeune exploded in one of the most serious racial clashes in Marine Corps history. Pull up a 🪑. (cont)

Actual headline: "Johnson 'concerned' ICE shooting will hamper funding negotiations as shutdown looms."
Frankly I'm surprised Mike Johnson read, saw, or heard anything about the murder in Minneapolis with his head so far up trump's ass.

I want to try and just clear a little something.
Are you feeling way beyond overwhelmed.
What is happening is happening on purpose.
The Trump regime is purposefully bombarding you everyday. For a purpose. You are living inside a perpetual threat broadcast.

Morning thought and/or bad dad joke:
at the conclusion of a mathematicians' conference, does the speaker say, "now go forth and multiply"?

Double stray cat burial today. About the time I found a patch of unfrozen ground to dig a hole for the first, I found a second. So I dug twice the width to accommodate both.

If, as claimed, Herr Obese Gropenfuhrer's misadministration succeeds in "restoring democracy to Venezuela," do you think we might persuade them to try it here?

Anyone who refuses to vaccinate their child against meningitis has never had a child stricken with it and given a 50-50 chance of surviving the night. In pre-vaccine days, my older son contracted it. Thankfully, he survived and recovered, but it was touch and go for 24 hours or so.

I have added Neighborhood Dead Critter Removal to my resume. A dog walker asked me yesterday if I could do something about a dead cat in front of the neighbor's house. Calls to the village to have the street crew pick it up have gone unanswered.

It's official. Our misRepresentative in Congress is a trumper, through and through. In his weekly email update, Nick Langworthless praised HOG - Herr Obese Gropenfuhrer - for his decisive move against "drug traffickers." Nick may even have typed that straight-faced.

With respect to the Venezuela matter, how long before we hear Mini Mike Johnson offer his customary, "I haven't heard or read anything about that"?

The way trump keeps threatening military interventions - Venezuela, Nigeria, and Iran - he's going to have FIFA rethinking awarding him that peace prize.

I awaken to this second day of 2026 wondering, "whatever happened to Absorbine Sr.?"
(I don't explain these random thoughts; I just wonder them.)

@tracyc.bsky.social Happy New Year (nearly a day late and several dollars short. 😀)

All those who nearly rang in the New Year by setting a paper trash can liner afire, please raise your hand.

"Out with the old and in with the new" apparently applies to the year but NOT to certain people.

Okay, everyone. Despite their best worst efforts, the dump misadministration hasn't been able to kill us off. So Happy(?) New Year's Eve.

Oh goody. Another "you've been doing this, that, and other things wrong your whole life." It's a wonder I'm still here.
