Alright as promised to @floregonian.com, here’s the finished shawl FINALLY not pinned to carpet. I’m very very pleased with how it came out.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Oh thank goodness.
BREAKING: Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt stops the scheduled execution of Tremane Wood today, commuting his sentence to life without parole.
In doing so, Stitt accepted the recommendation of the Pardon and Parole Board. This is Stitt’s second death-sentence commutation as governor.

Really wild how all these Harvard scientists and mathematics guys constantly talked about how Jeffrey Epstein was this brilliant, "misunderstood" man and then you read his emails and he's clearly a barely literate lecher, extremely easy to understand

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Never ever say your vote doesn’t matter.
Wow. While we wait for the few remaining ballots to be counted, we feel like we have won this race. The recent drop put us nearly 1,400 votes ahead, just under the .5 percent threshold for a mandatory recount.

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

If this exploded and killed someone they'd be casualties of WW2 which makes me wonder who the latest casualty of WW2 is and what killed them?

The last annual review concluded the SS Richard Montgomery was perfectly safe!
And as a demonstration of exactly how safe it is it also banned aircraft from flying anywhere near it in case, y'know, the wreck spontaneously makes itself a lot safer in a manner incompatible with continued aviation...

Of course.

Yes I do and I’m obsessed with the concept. 🤣
yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

It’s never gonna be a serious threat in part because not every Democrat actually needs to be primaried.
For example, you can pry Oregon’s Senate delegation out of our cold dead hands.

My dad got hit by a deer once. It’s absolutely accurate that they can and do hit cars.
Sometimes I tell ppl the story of how a deer hit my sister’s car when she was 16 and flipped her into a ditch and now she’s scared of driving and you can always tell who grew up in the city because they’ll go “don’t you mean SHE hit the deer?”
no I do not
