The DOGE cuts + tariff wars are like the government increased everyone’s service plan but has added unskippable commercials, too - and you can’t cancel your membership.

If this was a Netflix subscription we’d be burning cars in the streets by now.

My kids started me on Stardew Valley and oh god it’s troubling. I’m an oddball farmer from out of town who just hands out gifts to people, unprovoked? Apparently I’m supposed to buy ice cream for other people’s children??? WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?

We’ve entered the “Don’t retire while a Republican is in office” phase of financial planning.

If the Orange Asshole could use his supreme executive authority to cancel Daylight Savings Time, that would be great. We would all celebrate under the “stopped clock twice a day” clause.

Took 8 days in office (2 were spent golfing) to destroy Medicaid.

Did anyone vote to ruin their Medicaid services? And eggs are still expensive even though we were promised a fix on “Day 1”

These assholes can’t do anything right and are ruining basic services in their stupidity.

“Siege” by Anne Bridgman/Manual for the Invisible complete! Used Woolfolk Fleck Bulky and it is just a spectacular yarn for this piece.

I’m an amateur knitter, competent but not an expert. I love how stunning this easy project is:

Knitting 🧶 update:

Finished the Siege scarf last night!

The giftee hasn’t taken it off since, so no photos yet. Hope to post the big reveal later today.

One round left, hope there’s enough yarn left in the last skein. Very happy to have something to look forward to tomorrow, of all days. And happy it will keep me occupied. “Siege” by Anne Bridgman / Manual for the Invisible. Woolfolk - Fleck Bulky

Photo still gives no hint of what’s to come, lol.

End of Day 2 with “Siege” by Anne Bridgman / Manual for the Invisible. Thick yarn is tiring to work and I’m making slower progress. 3-4 rounds left. Maybe halfway?

On to the second skein. This is going to be amazing. I love the in progress photos because they really give no idea of the final product. “Siege” by Anne Bridgman/Manual for the Invisible. Knitting 🧶

I should be doing something useful but I’m captivated by the way Woolfolk’s Fleck Bulky yarn is a perfect fit for Anne Bridgman’s “Siege” pattern. Getting nothing else done, mostly. #knitting 🧶

If you live in Santa Monica, Brentwood or Malibu and see a Cybertruck with a Starlink receiver attached to it for free public internet access, please post a photo and location here.

The accidental Emergency Alert that just went to every cell phone in Los Angeles was a real shit-cherry on shit-cake today.

Anyone celebrating these fires in any way is inhuman, and a monster. No one is in a category or demographic that “deserves” this, and everyone thought that we had the resources to handle it.

People can be dumb all the time, that doesn’t mean their whole community deserves to be Dresden-ed to ash.

We’re upgrading from a Congressional Rep with dementia to a President with one. It seems clear that everyone around him will hide the truth from the public for as long as possible - like the GOP did with Kay Granger.

Thrilled to have completed holiday projects and now just knitting 🧶 for myself! Every January(ish) it’s finally me-time after churning out a bunch of gifts.

This year it’s reworking an ill fitting sweater I originally did on the wrong needles. I don’t care, so pleased to be here.

Peanut butter is incredible because of how many things it works with. Just tried peanut butter on day-old garlic bread and frankly it rocks. Amazing. #peanutbutter

Question for knitters #knitting 🧶 :

I made a sweater that was too small: too snug in the torso and a wee bit too short because I’m impatient.

Unraveled and started again- I discovered had used US 7 by mistake the first time. Ought to have been US 10. D’oh!

“Original Sin” is such a fucked up doctrine. Most kids are born perfect, literal angels. They learn bad habits and capricious behaviors from their environment. “You were bad from the start” is such a fucked up worldview to hand kids.
