This image to text is the gift that keeps giving me laughter today.

Apparently, everyone wants to be Hornk Groom OR Park Rober.

Have I shared my discovery of The Forest's butthole here yet?
Are there others, or does The Forest only have one?

Is that dark object one of the test satellites released during the flight, OR is it something else. Just so interested in the lack of commentary, and how fast it disappeared.

After a looooooooong ride from LAX to North Hollywood, I've arrived without my wallet at the #SloanSummit25. Fingers crossed that modern tech and the NFC phone tap work for me this weekend... because I already ordered.

Soooooo, a little light reading hasn't made me reassess anything related to the past decade of events in the US at all. Nope. There is nothing to reconsider at all...
Cover of book titled "THE C.I.A. PSYOP MANUAL" with an image in red & black of an anonymous smiling person in a flight cap & goggles. The subtitle is "Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare". Sidenote: this manual was apparently compiled & prepared by someone with access to CIA documents made public through the FOIA. So, I take its accuracy & providence with a grain of salt. That said, there are interesting tactical tidbits that, as someone not schooled in psyops, made me go hmmmmmm...

They are great illustrations. But, this backyard chicken dude looks very confused as to why he is holding a chicken with bird flu. Or, is he simply concerned?

I can post this cross-stitch/ sewing project now that I finally finished it and gifted it to my friend. It speaks truth.

It's almost Xmas, so I guess it's time to trim the bush for holiday festivities.
