As if in response to some secret signal from Canada, all the maples in the yard started leafing out yesterday.

Went out with the UV light to see if I missed any spots when I put anti-bird strike dots on the windows. Saw this guy crossing the path. Probably would have stepped on him without the light. On the minus side, I saw how much bird poop there is on the fence.

WIthout a doubt...
Thread on Quora: A fact is something that can be shown to be true. I am 6'3" tall. I can be measured to verify that. There is a teapot orbiting Mars at a distance of approximately 236,000 miles. That is not a fact, because, whilst it may be my earnest belief and no one can definitively disprove it, there is no proof. That the Divine Potter placed it there is my belief, but that does not make it a fact. Reply from Christopher Schardl: Just to be clear, the divine potter put that teapot there, but it's the divine pourer who serves the tea. Reply from Bob Simms: HERETIC!!! Reply from Ghope: What brought that on? Reply from Bob Simms: There is no Divine pourer. The tea is poured by the archangel Mrs. Johnson. Reply from Paul Davis: Can we at least agree that like all religions, it exalts the maker, but ignores the pour.

The grocery store got upset that my tariffs might affect their bottom line, so I decided to give them $2000 a month in subsidies.

I'm saving so much money! My genius knows no bounds.

It's probably Eva's last #caturday. She's stopped eating. Cancer is a bitch.

Minor correction. It's the first fatal accident involving a scheduled US airline in 16 years. You'd have to go back farther to find a collision.

A picture of a crashed cybertruck with the caption "This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement."

We held our Wake for Democracy last night. Featured cocktail was a "Coastal Elite" made with blue curacao, of course. Had special coaster made for it. Had a good time with friends we hadn't seen in a while. Grab joy where you can...

Want to hear something truly hilarious? In 2019, American cancer patients paid approximately $16.22 billion out-of-pocket for cancer treatment. Meanwhile, UnitedHealthcare reported about $33 billion in profits last year. This means one insurance company alone could cover every American’s cancer treatment and still walk away with nearly $17 billion in profits.

The parallel is uncanny.
Post from Sundae Gurl @sundaedivine.bsky.social: Jimmy Carter putting his peanut farm into a blind trust reminds me of that time Donald Trump's son-in-law took $2 Billion from the Saudis who murdered Jamal Khashoggi.

In summary, there are no surprises in the Gaetz ethics committee report.
Summary of the Gaetz report. In sum, the Committee found substantial evidence of the following: From at least 2017 to 2020, Representative Gaetz regularly paid women for engaging in sexual activity with him. In2017, Representative Gaetz engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl. During the period 2017 to 2019, Representative Gaetz used or possessed illegal drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, on multiple occasions. Representative Gaetz accepted gifts, including transportation and lodging in connection with a 2018 trip to the Bahamas, in excess of permissible amounts. In 2018, Representative Gaetz arranged for his Chief of Staff to assist a woman with whom he engaged in sexual activity in obtaining a passport, falsely indicating to the U.S. Department of State that she was a constituent. Representative Gaetz knowingly and willfully sought to impede and obstruct the Committee’s investigation of his conduct. Representative Gaetz has acted in a manner that reflects discreditably upon the House.

Would it be a federal offense to use a MAGA relative's name as the return address?
Wouldn't it be funny if thousands of Americans sent empty envelopes addressed to “President Elon Musk" at Mar-A-Lago? I'm not suggesting you do it but wouldn't it be funny? “President Elon Musk” 1100 S Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FL 33480

If I were at Goldman Sachs I would be distancing myself from this one and also spending more on bodyguards.
