I am surrounded by people who own homes that they cannot afford to maintain, either the structure or the yard. The same people seem to also own pets and are unable to afford veterinary bills.

I rather suspect that the current administration has little interest in infant morality. I would imagine they see these babies as not measuring up, so if they do not survive no resources will be expended for their care.

Well, a little late, but tax returns for the corporation and personal, state and federal, signed and in the mail along with checks for payment. What a relief.

Felt like an ax on my neck since April 15. We live conservatively, so plenty left over.

Time for a drink. #taxes

My country's history just knocked on the door & asked me to remind everyone that it's only a small step from nasty to Nazi ... in this case, from ridiculing & humiliating a disabled journalist to calling for euthanasia of people with mental illnesses.

To all the dumfuqs and centrists who are worried about Mamdani being a democratic socialist mayor of NYC, we have an actual fucking Nazi as president, who just happens to be a convicted felon and pedophile.

Use your outrage accordingly.

20 years ago this week. No road signs standing, no GPS, and certainly no clue what we were in for. We made it out a month later free of gunshot injury. #towerdogs. #Katrina.

So, I'm wondering if the P2025 crowd is having weekly strategy sessions deciding who will get what appointments after Vance is sworn in.

So, we are in our late sixties. Both from large families.

No one wanted us about automatic enrollment in the Funeral-of-the-month-club.

; from the perspective of a grammar pedant - i overthink this every year - in the context of mother's day and father's day, shouldn't the apostrophe be placed 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 the s - mothers' & fathers' day?

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

In this game of the genius vs. the idiot, I'm not as confident as most that the idiot is going to win.

I would not be surprised if the mega donors don't throw in with Elon. He has a message and does not taco 3 times a day.
