Proud to be someone Lord Dampnut says he hates. Means I'm a good person.
Also, the feeling is mutual, you pathetic skidmark.

Adding to my "most Milwaukee-looking Brewer" comment about Nick Mears the other day, he looks like he literally walked down after his shift at Miller Brewing to pitch the 8th.

People with integrity can't be bought, Elon. But you wouldn't know that, because you and Lord Dampnut and your sycophants don't have any.

The only regret I have so far post hysterectomy is that they didn't let me keep my uterus. I wanted to send it to Washington with a note that read: "Since you're so eager to control this thing, here ya go!"
Missed opportunity.

March is gearing up to be the most intense month yet for me in 2025. Time to saddle up.

One of the most unsettling sensations in the world is when you touch something expecting it to be a certain texture and it's a totally different texture entirely.

Correct.
It's becoming clear that not only does the "new admin" not care whether the country functions the way it "always has" or "should," they don't care whether it functions *AT ALL*.
These people literally do not care if the world ends as long as they take everybody else's money first.

Ignored the demise of the free world by going to the doc, finding out my heart is extra (because of course it is), and was informed I get a day off tomorrow due to weather.
The world is a shitshow, but at least I'm cozy.

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.
ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:
A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.
