I’m looking for a lighter experience here. Still staying abreast of news that matters, but I’m choosing to not get slammed with it. So if I don’t follow back, don’t be offended: My resistance is taking a back seat while I nurture my brain, spirit, and funny bone. #balance #LamaSanglug #Ommm

Per Wiki. Jack Palance, at a 2004 Russian film festival: “I think that Russian film is interesting, but I have nothing to do with Russia or Russian film. My parents were born in Ukraine: I'm Ukrainian. I'm not Russian. So, excuse me, but I don't belong here. It's best if we leave."

I do NOT believe JD Vance can command the cult, SCOTUS or Congress the way His Magasty can, no matter who is behind him. I think only Pumpkin Tits has that magic evil. So godspeed blood clots or Epstein or any combination thereof.

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.
I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.
Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.
But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

A barrier of both language *and* generation:
My 20ish Uber driver and I were talking books.
I asked if he knew who Cher was (I just finished her memoir). He said yes.
I said, gee, her mom was married seven times!
He thought I was talking about Ed Sheeran, LOL.

ICE agents are just proud boys and insurrectionists in my opinion until they show their faces and IDs and prove otherwise.

One of my three has digestive rumblings at bedtime and gets a “chew chew chew” simethicone tablet. But now all three jump at the sound of the rattling container, ears up, eyes shining, eagerly awaiting their “treat.”
Archie likes his blueberry Greenies so much that he sits by the treat canister and cries and whimpers, even if I've already given him one. I put blueberries in his food bowl now, I had no idea he would love them so much!

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Is it “telling,” “shocking,” or “appalling” that the Shapiro arson doesn’t appear in Trending Topics?
