A smattering of photos of non-political things including some #CatsOfBluesky in the form of sleepy kittens, our annual #Thanksgiving spiced peaches, and a photo of Mrs. T and I are the #MNF packers and eagles game.
Trying to snap out of the blahs from the last couple of weeks.
More sun lamp time!

This is the strangest timeline on top of being one of the worst.
My usual “I’m alive!”
The absurdity of normal tasks has diminished following the advice of a friend:
“How much worse would all this be if you were hungry and had no clean underwear?”
Touché.
Here’s a mostly followed menu, a sexy but too spicy for Mrs. T taco, and my increasingly cuddly kittens.

Imagine calling someone else “piggy” while you are standing there with a loaded diaper — literally sitting in your own filth.
Reminds me of a joke.
Q: What does the desk chair in the Oval Office smell like?
A: Eh. Depends.

The other thing I've come across lately that speaks to some of what I've gone through is this list regarding "Complex PTSD"
Which *feels* an overblown statement but at the same time it's also shockingly accurate.
Especially:
-Overexplaining
-Overapologizing
-Blanking mid convo
-Alone in a crowd

A little geomagnetic storm action from around the ol’ domicile.
#NorthernLights (well, barely)
Light pollution and cloud cover conspire against shots from home, but the fact I can see it (with digital assistance) is nice enough.

On the way north for Monday Night Foozball, meeting the rest of crew in Manitowoc.
Which sounds like a magic word
Here are a slew of pictures from the weekend that aren’t politics or cartoons.
1. Goose and Anathema sharing
2. Needy Goose
3. Perfectly browned chicken
4. Condom machines still exist

I’m trying to make a meal a week with a decent amount of ginger in it (for various reasons but it’s delicious and Mrs. T loves it)
If anyone has a real solid #ginger heavy #recipe or #recipes I am all eyes
I’ll share the ones I try that work well (that are from recipes, this last week was made up)

Wound up calling an audible yesterday and swapping ginger chicken to lunch today
I’ve had negative numbers of spoons between the cats new diet making them insane, the mold abatement and destruction of the basement aesthetic, and all the evil going on in the world right now
Forcing basic functions.

MFer *is* the list at this point.
Mar-A-Lago was a recruiting pool for Epstein's pedo ring.
Why else was Trump so angry Jeffrey "stole" one of his underage workers?
Johnson may be huffing the royal diaper right now but if 2025 went bad for the GOP, imagine 2026 after 12 more months of this.

If there is no due process for ICE:
There is nothing to stop them from taking ANY child.
Regardless of if they fit the currently targeted skin color.
Pastor Martin Niemöller's "First They Came for the Jews" is happening right now.
We're at that first line, only replace Jews with Latinos.

For those who want the itemization -- I've attached the 2024 and 2025 kits.
Walmart claims you can feed 10 people on the 2025 kit vs 8 with the 2024.
TL;DR - It's "25% cheaper" because you get at least 30% less and what you get is lower quality
Trump *and* Walmart are gaslighting America.

"Walmart's thanksgiving is 25% cheaper this year!"
Sure, because they took out two full pies, can give you less turkey (10lb - 16lb is quite the range) and changed everything to generic.
It's 25% cheaper cuz it's at least 30% less AND generic.

Read a study that job “creation” was flat in the Trump economy with the shut down.
SCOTUS was hearing arguments on IQ47’s illegal tariffs.
Very low doubt they will rule them legal despite lack of congressional anything.

The originally used It Came from the Headlines logo was an homage to 50s and 60s Sci-Fi films and pulp novels which seemed appropriate for the name.
As this is sort of a reboot:
I decided that I'd shoot for a more 80s B-movie look this time around.
Similar concept, but with more polish!
