Our daughter asked for a long scythe, the Grim Reaper variety, to clear the back of her lot in spring. To my surprise, there was one available for delivery!

Best gift that you gave or received this year?

@JeremyWingert79 Mr. Maryn and I are actually able to watch a movie without eating for a whole two and a half hours or whatever its run time is. Quite the skill! Saves us a bundle.

Hey, @Tesco. Three times in the last couple of months creepy men have sidled up to me and said, "Hello, [NAME]" having seen my name appear on the display on the hand scanner when I remove it from the stand. This is not a good thing. Can you disable this function?

President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of the majority of people on federal death row.

Hey traitor.
Haven’t you taken your over $2.6 million from the NRA?

Fuck you, and your prayers.

[Kid Riles @kid_riles]

Scott Walker has collected about $4 million from the NRA, to prop up the gun industry.

At least 3 people are dead.

Fuck you, and fuck your useless fucking prayers.

@DrHistoryBrad IME, lots of college students don't know the difference between Dr. and Professor. (Can't remember if I did, but maybe not.) Our family academic gets this all the time, and she's not even at a place with a tenure track.

There are 4, very well educated, GOP physicians in the U.S. Senate. Will they vote for a HHS Secretary with a documented case of neurocysticercosis (brain worm), who doesn’t believe in immunizing children against easily preventable diseases ?

@DrHistoryBrad Or they have their hire chosen and are legally required to advertise.

@ChloeCorc Right until,you stay at a hotel,that just tucks in a flat sheet on the bottom. Then you’ll love your twisted impossible to fold fitted sheet after all!

@ask_aubry In Ye Olden Tymes, the "rule" was that "Women pick up women" hitchhiking alone. Not because you approved or wanted to be helpful, but because you would not harm them.

@JeremyWingert79 When you have two extra chairs—both stained—and your living room seats seven, tops, hosting is both difficult and embarrassing.

I crowd-sourced Christmas music & now I need a Christmas movie for my queue (next to It's A Wonderful Life & Muppet Christmas Carol). But it *must* fit these criteria:

~ Not primarily for kids
~ Not about believing in Santa
~ Genuine emotion, not schmaltz

GO! (And good luck...)

Thanks for speaking up. It was feeling like I was the only one who didn't think murder was the appropriate penalty for unethical business CEOs.

[Jeremy, Writer & Dad & Collector of Parks @JeremyWingert79]

It is tragic I have to say this in 2024 — a thing I’d have never dreamed I’d have to say in 2004 — but Luigi Mangione’s act of vigilante murder shouldn’t be heroized, admired, or even excused.

And yes, this is true DESPITE HEALTH INSURANCE BEING AN ULTRA-CORRUPT INDUSTRY.

"Somehow"? There's more to that.

The vehicle "somehow went off the roadway, became airborne, and struck a support column" in Newark, New Jersey, prosecutors said. https://t.co/rkl94LoLTE
