On the plus side, Merrick Garland is finally out of the job he was never interested in doing in the first place.

Hoo boy! The replies to this are just uniformly golden. Many calls for him to retire but I seem to be the only one adding “or die” to the solution.
It is time to look to the future.

The challenges that face America are many and great.

The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.

My dog’s monthly heartworm medication is sold by a U.S. company but its manufactured in France. So it has begun. #trumptariffs

Haven’t we always been told that the 2nd Amendment exists to protect the 1st Amendment?

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not advocating for violence. Just pointing out the hypocrisy.

TikTok has decided to flood my FYP with posts from these twisted, demented “Christians” who are absolutely giddy about the California fires. They’re all assholes and so is any god they’d worship.

Fine, go ahead and shut it down.

Years ago we woke up one morning to find a blanket of snow on the ground so I turned on the Weather Channel and shouted to my wife, “Oh, shit! Jim Cantore’s in town!” Then I looked a little more closely. “Oh, shit! Jim Cantore’s in front of the house!” Neither of us made it to work that day.

Well, guess who just set up a monthly recurring donation to Wikipedia. Thanks for the motivation, Elmo! 🖕

“This is thy sheath; there rust and let me die.”

Just last week I re-watched the 1968 "Romeo and Juliet." They showed it to us in high school English class and it was the one thing that we paid attention to (well, the boys anyway).

Also, cancer still sucks.

We do walkies right before bedtime. It’s a good night to be an inside dog.

“Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?” Ethiopia is 60-something percent Christian so I’m gonna say yeah, they know.

It should go without saying that someone who works in public radio for 30 years ends up with all the coffee mugs they could ever possibly need. And yet, I couldn’t pass these up.

#target is "preparing to ship" the item that's "arriving yesterday." 🤔

Police say they don’t know why the CEO of United Healthcare was targeted in this morning’s shooting. Check the comments on any news story about it and you might find a possible motive. People’s thoughts and prayers appear to be out of network.

Our tree from the front sidewalk. Cyrus’s nightly walk was a little chilly, but on the plus side the snow makes it easy to see the poop to pick it up.

View from the living room window. It was too cold to do this tonight but I did it anyway. The tree is next. As soon as my fingers thaw out.

#dogsofbluesky fans should read “Laurie” from @stephenking.bsky.social’s short story collection “You Like It Darker.” Don’t worry; nothing bad happens to the dog. But you will cry all the same.

How about the next time Elon Musk buys something we all just walk away from it immediately rather than waiting for him to turn it into a shitshow?

Matt Gaetz has now removed more criminal insurrectionists from Congress in 1 day than Merrick Garland did in 4 years.
