Woke up this morning to the news that a notorious war criminal had died. Going to bed tonight knowing that the current regime got it's ass handed to it. Decisively.

So…. What did you all do this weekend?

2006 Prius, 160k miles, all original equipment (even the plugs! Hybrid ftw!).

Wheel bearing, all four struts, water pump, plugs, and PCV valve, as well as transmission service.

It’s sitting 2 inches higher than before, and rides a /lot/ more comfortably 🙃

Not gonna lie--this one's been slapping hard tonight....

🎶When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?🎵

Relationships, amiright? 😆
A bathroom sink. Sitting behind the faucet are two tubes of toothpaste. One, Colgate total, sits folded neatly behind the hot water valve. The other, Sensodyne Pronamel, squeezed in the center of the tube, leans drunkenly across the middle of the faucet, threatening to capsize at the least provocation ……

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

"We are the same. There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the common denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all the boundaries, and goes right to the soul." ~ Willie Nelson

black and white photo of Jim Morrison's (The Doors) face on a black background, so it looks like his face is just floating there. His expression is blank as he stares into the camera.... Text: Jim Morrison was right People are strange..

Top caption: Here. You look like you need this. Photo: Bill Murray, wearing a black T-shirt with an open white overshirt with black stripes. He is standing behind a bar, with a lot of high-end bottles in the background. He is proffering a shot of some delicious looking amber liquid, so close it (and his hand) are out of focus....

Correlation ≠ Causation.
Threads post from "azmatthews > RFK Jr" Approximately 70% of all people who get cancer have eaten pickles. Most people who have recently died in car accidents ate pickles in the past year. All Americans who ate pickles in 1901, have died. Therefore pickles obviously kill people. (This is a post about Tylenol and autism.)

Having trouble this weekend finding a bit of absurdity that eclipses the reality of the times. Instead, how about a bit of whimsy (and an absolutely epic Rube Goldberg!)
