Sorry I didn’t see the post until now.
I made an account for my wife, but she had to close her Etsy store for health reasons. My wife also fuses glass. I’d love to see your work. Meanwhile I found this picture frame we made over 30 years ago. We used to make hundreds of these.

Sacramento NO KINGS protest
July 14 2025

The day America started regaining its pride.
(Also the day of the worst military parade since Napoleon left Waterloo)

Si se puede!

Great vibes at the No Kings in Sacramento.

When we regain our freedoms and our dignity, I will probably be too old, but I can say “I was there”. I did my little tiny part and helped defeat tyranny.

I went to the NO KINGS protest today because I was behind on my car payment. Then this guy shows up and says he is doing it for free.

I caught this gem on CNN subtitles earlier. Apparently we have a new POKE heir of St. Pizza

CNN video subtitles glitched a bit.
"Selected a Pope" became "Selected a *Poke*" and
"The 267 successors of St. Peter" became
"The 267 successors of *some pizza*".

As an Italian I am very devout to "Some Pizza"🍕

I just received a low quality picture from the future of the anti-fascist treason trial against the current regime.

Trumpanzee is not there because I suspect that by then he had a cheeseburger or two too many, but the rest are cabinet members and ICE agents.

They too said "I followed orders".
May 1, 2025 at 10:42 PM
This is insane. It ranges from the obvious to the bootlicking, ass-kissing prose of someone trying to avoid Trumpanzee's ire.
I hear that under Mussolini the trains run on time.
My grandfather told me it wasn't true, but nobody was complaining, unless they wanted a dose of laxatives.

Can you Photoshop Trump, Miller and Pam Bondi on this photo? Or swing a miracle and bring them back in time so they can be judged where they belong?

I’ll be damned!
I went to buy it and then I stopped.
I looked on my bookshelf and I realized I already had the hard copy.

I pointed one of my security cameras on my kitty litter. I hope whomever is going to break into my network gets a eyeful of my 18lb tuxedo taking a shit.

Here is a funny coincidence for you guys to munch on.

Luigi Mangione, the CEO killer, folk hero, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan fan, has a VERY Italian name.

Being Italian myself I translate "Mangione" (the "e" is like the one in "eco") as "Large Eater" or "Big Glutton", as in "Eat the Rich"

CEO Shooting: The news keeps posting pictures of a guy wearing a similar hooded jacket, but no facemask.
No one has commented on the differences between the shooter and this guy, or his magic 2 tone backpack straps and the jackets differences (zipper/no zipper)

Here is Miles, my beautiful tuxedo beast. 18lb of fluffiness. He thinks I am an idiot and sometimes I think he may be right.
His sister just died in my arms a month ago. Broke my heart.
At 14 Miles is still doing OK, but every day I have to squeeze him and kiss him. We sleep holding paws.

I'll be working on my new best-seller "Disappointed".
December 1, 2024 at 11:07 PM
I am not so much upset that Trump won as I am disappointed with America and Americans in general.
Half of them at least.

I have European citizenship, my wife is Canadian and I live in CA. If push comes to shove, I am so gone your head will spin.

But I am very disappointed in my "fellow Americans"

I love Genova. When I was in the army in Italy we often traveled from Oderzo (east) to Milano and Genova because my roommates (I was an officer) were from there. Specifically, Monza and Genova.
I am looking to buy a jersey from Sampdoria if I can find an unsponsored one (Like my AC Roma SPQR jersey)

Does anyone know why in MS Word sometimes my ribbon disappears completely?
FYI, this is how I used to use Twitter before such a question would have gained rely such as "MS Word is woke" or "Deep State Bill Gates" or blame it on the COVID vaccine.

I don't mind growing old as much as I tought I would, but if I were 30 years younger I would be in Ukraine now. Or 2 years ago.
My job in the Army was to command a Lance Missile Section to Nuke Russians but my weapon was decommissioned in the 90s.
Pity.
I am a pacifist but we all have our limits
