#YesYouNeedToCleanIt: Butts!

No, standing under the water in the shower doesn't count.

You gotta lather it up with soap and water. You gotta scrub your skin. All of it. Then rinse it off. Its an active process, not a passive one. You need to do this frequently and regularly as part of bathing.

The #Canucks are still the runaway favorite to land the No. 1 pick, but the bottom half of the top 11 saw a lot of change this week:

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.
Look at the photos. The thing I heard often working on the USAID Gaza response from our partners in Gaza was the field of dead bodies - men, women, children - that fanned out around IDF checkpoints in the Netzarim corridor. Shot by IDF soldiers for no reason (unless "for fun" counts as a reason).
U.S. Envoys Refused to Report "Apocalyptic" Conditions in Gaza. Exclusive Photos Show the Reality They Suppressed
The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem suppressed a February 2024 report on northern Gaza because it “lacked balance.” These photos from the UN fact finding trip are visual evidence of the conditions.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

I love this and I love this for her.
Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

Rolled into work about an hour ago and about to turn on some music.

Taking your suggestions for the next 30 minutes and playing whatever you soiled masses can think of!

Running off to work on a story.

In the meantime:

Religious left: still a thing.
Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

It could very well be that I am just a horny old man, but this cover of King's of Leon's "Sex on Fire" by Folk Bitch Trio gives me goosebumps.

@mollymcdeath.bsky.social Do you know anything about this question from my friend?
Where is a good place to host your virtual photography? I really like taking pictures of virtual worlds. I don't know if anyone knows, but it's worth a shot.

I’m about 5 minutes away from taking all the money out of my 401k, quitting my job, just driving right out of town and not looking back.
