“Ugh. I’m a little blue dot in a mostly red family. The anomaly. I had a sister mention $1776 proudly the other day - the money ‘from Trump’ for military folk. Me, I see it as something he’ll never do. I certainly was not going to have that conversation with her. I’ll let her find out the hard way.”

I lost my 14, nearly 15, year old kitty this morning (seen in my profile picture). I am trying not to mourn her, but honor her. She CHOSE me! I told her sisters and brother one by one. It has to get easier. I miss her.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

Listening to Belle of the Ranch and her latest Epstein drop. A couple of lines: ‘Seems to be enough interest on both sides of the aisle to keep this thing going, in fact it may become the dominant story if a shutdown happens’. This is a positive. This may force the shutdown issue to resolve.

Taking a lead from @jasonnarducy.bsky.social without the bed sheets. Me, in order: I slept with the Beatles mostly - my own drawings on my bedroom wall, Monkees (still shake my head at that), early Bowie, Police, Sting and finally REM solidly - home!! Anyone else?

@remhq.bsky.social While I don’t know when, and it is none of my business, send my best wishes to Peter and what seems to be his upcoming hip surgery, if this article is legit.

It ‘sucketh’ to get ‘oldeth’. No more jumps for a while.

Thank you for everything.

Assigning Sen. Thurmond’s “longest filibuster” of the Civil Rights Act to the dustbin of history is a powerful part of the story.

Because no matter what, that’s where they’re all going, no matter how hard they fight it. Men who fight the future are the most foolish of all men.
Cory Booker will break the record for longest Senate floor speech at 7:19 PM EDT. Fewer than 2 hours from now. The record is held by Strom Thurmond, who was arguing for segregation. GO CORY, GO!

I have to share one week ago - on a quest looking for mirrors - I visited an old go to spot, Habitat for Humanity Restore in Rock Hill, South Carolina. While I didn’t find the mirrors I wanted, I did find a chair, matching one that I have yet to repair, and 4 eclectic barstools, picture below. 1/+
