kakistocracy (n): government by the least competent or suitable.

Given Trump, Gaetz, and Hegseth, looks like we're also going to get a misogynistocracy, but of course most of us saw that coming.

A couple of you tried to claim Project 2025 had nothing to do with Trump. Bullshit. Here's Trump picking a P2025 author for his administration, and more will be coming.

In the run-up to the election, I had two people in my feed try to tell me that Trump planning the use the military to round people up was "Democrat lies". I promised you I was going to call your bullshit and hold you responsible for what he does. So let's get started.

I have paid the "special San Francisco tax", even earlier than I expected. Someone broke into my car looking for change to get their fentanyl; took out a passenger-side window. Any recommendations for where to get it replaced on a budget?

For a party, I made gumbo with extra roux so it would be rich, and baby okra (whole instead of sliced, makes it less sticky), chicken, turkey- and beef-based sausage, scallops, and shrimp. On the side, I made a "jambalaya-adjacent" dish with riced vegetables instead of rice, to be keto-friendly.

Alrighty, then. Let's hope BlueSky takes off better than Mastodon. Sure not using Twitter/X again (I bailed on that the the week Musk got control of it).

Trying to find my peeps. If you are one and I haven't Followed you back, it's probably because I can't tell who you are from the handle and pic.
