Dooooo you have the time
To listen to Trump whine
About nothing and everything all at once?

He is one of those autocratic tools
Psychotic to the bone, no doubt about it!

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. Blade Runner, live, at the Seattle Symphony.

So far, 2026 is aces. Family member’s dementia has gotten much worse & I finally got t2d diagnosis after being told it was an eventuality every 10 yrs (yrs of rlly bad hypoglycemia, then 2 diabetic pregnancies). Dealing with insurance prior authorization for meds & cgms, which has been an education.

Working on my socks. Stripes with some lacey type stitches, because why not they are MINE. There was no pattern. They are customized 20 ways to hell and back. Doing them “two at a time” on separate DPN sets, going between them by section or row as needed.

The Dude hat for hubby is wrapped, back to my socks. I am past the yarn break of the puppy vs. self-striping yarn, and the striping is matching nicely. Going to the Stitch rescue hour tomorrow to have a knitting guru tell me what 2@Atime sleeve methods I was using 2 or 3yrs ago when I left off.

Hey folks - if you want to gift some charity dough for Christmas, yo… you can’t do much better than the folks who are protecting your freedom, privacy, and rights.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

I fell off a ladder in August. The bill for the 1.7 mile ambulance ride is $4387.31.

Our $4500 per MONTH Cigna insurance won’t pay more than $600, because the ambulance is out of network.

There are no in-network ambulances in our county, and I was unconscious when it was called.

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?"

The Dude hat for hubby dude is cast off. Didn’t like the pattern’s crown design so I re-designed it, frogged it back, and redid it. Now I have to weave in all the goldarn ends and do a bit of blocking.

Conservatives can never again call themselves the party of small government. This is surveillance in depth, Big Brother.
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

At around 17m. Yes. None of what’s happening is American or conservative. When T saying he wants rule of law = “My word is law. I am the Party. Party rules.” His camp is so desperate to straight up use the Xi/CN/CCP playbook. Also he needs to be 25th’ed. He’s not running the show. Miller & Vogt are.
