Al Franken has a great segment on his youtube channel featuring Liz Oyer (the lawyer). She formerly ran the department in charge of screening requests for pardons and sentence commutations. That puts her in perfect position to
show how the process has been turned into a pardon vending business

Brewers won their last game, Packers tied Dallas but it was a great game, birds flying around in the back yard like they're insane. Jo Jo begging to go out for another walk (watching her while Annie is in South Carolina). Trump and the idiots who voted for him may destroy everything but hey...

Just a post in case they delete my account if I exceed some keepalive time. With Colbert and Kimmel get deplatformed for what they said, I just don't know if there is any hope for broadcast media.

Wasn't Pam Bondi attorney general in Florida when Epstein got off with the sweet plea bargain that let him continue to run a child prostitution ring for another couple of years? Republicans should be voted out of office just for confirming her, let alone voting against the move to get all the info.

Getting out on the kayak since I haven't explored the waters around here since moving down to Stoughton. Paddled up the Yahara from North end of Vikings Park to the passage into Lake Kegonsa. Trip back had the current, wind, and the sun at my back. Fish darting, dragon flies in formation.

Feeling pretty down about the way things went in the house. Not surprised if our neighbors are laughing at the American voters who put these clowns in power. My feelings toward them are a little darker.

Earth day, garbage pickup, recycling pickup, branch and brush pickup, 2 loads of laundry. Overwhelmed.

What a coincidence! I also am 6'3" and 224lbs!

@dawnpape.bsky.social let me know if I'm doing anything you consider stupid or against your wishes. Trying to send zuck/trump/ccp a msg & use meta only for orgs & bizs that have to stay there.

Now suddenly everything is working. Something about my internet config (firewalls, etc) or my browser settings (edge on win11) was screwed up. I am atypical in not trusting smart phone apps and crossplatform tracking. Bluesky on Win11 only, no xp/win10/Ubuntu/chrome bla bla

Does anybody else find this user interface as clunky and nonintutive as I do? Just even finding help on "How do I post?" requires me to log in when I thought I was already logged in.
