FYI
‪Roman Piso‬ ‪@romanpiso.bsky.social‬ can be a real PITA to anyone who posts about religion, Bible issues, and anything that he feels infringes on what he feels is his self-staked out intellectual property.

I'd advise just ignoring him or, in the alternative, telling him to fuck off.

A Gary Larson panel from sometime in the 1980s. I'm guessing it was in memory of the death of George Harrison.

(I don't know much about these rock history things, actually. There's a reason my handle is alljazz45!)

This Gary Larson panel is from about 30 years ago. As the line goes...ya keep doin' the same fucking thing over and over, expecting sumpin' different, yet still gettin' the same outcome... Well, there is a classification for that...

In my AM meditation, I visualized The Blue Tsunami giving the House a substantial Blue Majority and the Senate a sufficient Blue flip with enough GOPers (who have backbones) to ensure that Trump and Vance are successfully impeached.

The Speaker of the House (Dem) becomes POTUS.

The Rider-Waite deck, I would guess, is the seminal Tarot deck for most folks. I'd surmised the illustrations were quite old. Not so, they are from the early 20th Century.

(I use the Fountain and OSHO Zen decks.)

Drove past a HOBBY LOBBY today. Think all these stores should be required to:

🔷Hire Alts rather than MAGArads for clerks
🔷Have sections for Tarot Cards, Chakra crystals, and Wands
🔷Have Holiday sales for Yule, Beltane, Samhain, etc
🔷Give classes on how missionaries co-opted Pagan celebrations.

There are new Epstein file pages? Saw something to the effect that the DOJ was looking for lawyers to go through the pages.

Cost savings suggestion. JUST RELEASE THE UNREDACTED FILES to us who voted for Kamala. We think critically. We can make rational decisions. We'll publish facts, not redacts.

Coupla days ago, sumbuddy posted a meme of stick figures fleeing 2025 with fear. That bothered me. That is not THE STRONG or MILITANT BLUE approach to 2026. The best vision I have of the Blue WAVE is Cruise and Blunt taking it to the Alien Hoard.

Open to discussion...

🔷How confined do you feel by the 300-character hard stop?
🔷Would an extra 25 characters help? 50?
🔷Do you think folks read serial posts (1/3, 2/3, 3/3), etc?
🔷Do you read alt texts? Do you use alt text to expand your skeets?
🔷Other comments on the topic?

Inquiring minds.

I hope we are discussing eating the rich metaphorically, here, cuz, you know, prion disease and high fat content? Both are real concerns with long pork, as has been detailed in many scientific studies. 🤔🤮
