momta's JournalMy DIL must have foreseen the news today.
Just before the announcement, she started making a coconut cream pie. (And she didn't even know the reference...or I guess you could say, "the context" ).
FU HuffPost
They're worse than CNN, and that's saying something.
These fucking "news" companies need to start reporting the news, and stop telling us who to vote for and who not to vote for. I don't remember delegating that job to them.
You'd never know the UK just kicked the Tories out in a whopper of an election (unless you go looking for that news on something like Pod Save the World), because the MSM won't cover it.
Aaaaggggh!
No longer a Covid virgin
I thought I was just hungover a couple of days ago, but woke up the next day sick as a dog. Covid test was positive, so I went to urgent care. They prescribed Paxlovid, and wished me luck. Said they've been seeing a lot of "first-timers". I wonder what's up with that. Anyway, still feeling pretty crappy, but glad to have DU to keep me company while I recover.
Okay, so forget assassination.
What if Biden has the military lock Trump in a cell at Guantanamo as a terrorist, an "enemy combatant" if you will? That would be an official act, wouldn't it?
About TFG demanding that Biden take a drug test...
I was thinking--if there is a drug that will make you smarter about
Economic Policy
Ukraine
Women's healthcare
Climate Change
The border
etc.
Then I say...let him fucking overdose on that shit!
One of my favorite lines from Thursday night
When John Favreau introduced Melissa Murray on Crooked Media's bonus episode, the first thing she said about the verdicts was, "In the immortal words of Stormy Daniels, 'That was fast!'"
I just sent this to my congressman
I live in a very blue area, and my congressman (Joe Neguse) is excellent. AND, he's on the judiciary committee.
Feel free to take, edit, spread it around...or not. But this shit with the court has to stop. 
I simply don't understand why we are forced to live (and die) by the rules made up by a subset of corrupt, illegitimate, and oblivious "Justices" on the Supreme Court. They continue to bring their own politics, religion, and personal preferences into what should be interpretations of the Constitution.
I listened to an interview with your colleague, Jamie Raskin, and he has some great ideas for reform of the court, including the following:
1. One justice for every circuit
2. Eighteen-year terms
3. An independent ethics board
...among others. These seem pretty reasonable to me.
By the way, I'm not an attorney, just a mom who doesn't want her children to live under this kind of corruption.
Hmm...Truth Social AND Tesla?
Both companies' stocks are plunging. It's almost as if people don't like investing in companies run by raging lunatic assholes.
I'm coining a new word: ANBO
TLDR: It's an acronym for "Adult Non-Binary Offspring".
I have an anbo. They are neither male nor female, neither are they a child. So none of the words I would otherwise use to describe them work, which tends to either force me to misgender them, and/or call them a "child" when they are 25 years old.
I have a friend who also has an anbo, and she recently asked me how to refer to them, considering they are not a "child," nor a "daughter," nor a "son." It makes for long, complicated conversations with people who either don't understand what it means to be non-binary, or want to engage in some rancorous conversation that I don't have time for. (Pretty sure a new word isn't going to fix this, but it might speed up the process a little, and help me get it over with faster.)
So...new word: ANBO
You're welcome
