Brandy chocolate truffles.

He says there aren’t enough for us to taste test.

I, for one, give him an F. Hmmmph

Me: “Alexa, play some inoffensive music, something all the kids can agree on”

Alexa: “let’s see what I can come up with. Here’s some universally liked music that the whole family can enjoy”

Spent the weekend putting together a dresser, separating our clothes between the 2 dressers, clearing out the pantry, purging closets, and finding space to put small appliances away behind a closed door.

Still no sign of the trash bags
Dementia is fucking expensive 1/17 edition. I bought a box of 80 trash bags this week.

They’re gone. Vaporized. I’ve looked in all the halfway logical places. Gonna need to buy another box as we are out of trash bags.

I just know they’ll turn up in a laundry hamper or something next week

traveling back in time and ignoring his cries of "it hardly seems necessary" and digging a revolver into jemmy madison's temple until he writes federalist #86, "what if the president is the biggest most corrupt shit-for-brains in history and also going insane"

I keep seeing posts from so many people asking Europe to hold our hand on the stove until Trump et al cry uncle, and it’s giving me so many patriotic feelings.

Priest’s homily today was about MLK, about how catholic means universal, about what we’re called to do and how we fall short but we have to get back up and do better.

That everyone is a child of God. Of every race, ethnicity, nationality, religion (or lack of religion). That we’re called to love

Someone talk me out of donating 95% of our books and getting rid of our bookcase in favor of a recliner

Harsh truth is I don’t have the time to read everything I want to. And husband is not able to functionally read anymore. We have some built in bookshelves for whatever I can make time for

I have a rental booked in Spain to see the eclipse this summer.

I’ve been saying for a while now, don’t follow them around chanting “shame! Shame!” They have no shame.

Follow them around chanting “Loser! Loooooooooser!”
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

…do people not know their license plate numbers and trim of their car?

I’m willing to be the weird one in this case, I’m really just curious

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."

"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

… they’re in the wild now
It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
