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

Thoughts and Prayers

Sorry if this has already been posted.

He's right behind me, isn't he?

The kitty is Quantum, and she's a grumpy old lady. The dog is Finn, a 5-year-old Great Pyrenees. They don't get along (although he mostly ignores her, and she doesn't get along with anyone.) My daughter-in-law took this last summer.

"...and that's a problem for Democrats"

I sighed heavily this morning while grumbling at CNN. My hubby asked why and I told him the main headline was "Anderson Cooper is Learning to Grieve". He replied, "Is the subhead 'And that's a problem for Democrats?''"

Cool pic from the eclipse

This was when it first started here in Colorado. My DIL took this, and I think the reflections are from her glasses or something, but you can see the eclipse in them.

Hamas claims to have "won" so I sat down and wrote this...

Hamas says “We’ve won! No matter what anyone says or whatever happens from now on…We Won!”

Okay, sure.

You won the way Eichmann “won”. By oppressing those you claim to be defending, killing families whose faces you never see, stealing from people whose belongings you covet, and then ordering them massacred so you will never have to see their incredulous eyes.

You won the way bin Laden “won”. Sending others to kill babies in the name of your god.

You won the way Netanyahu has “won”. Seeing humans as animals, pawns to push around in the name of power and control, never understanding the crushing pain you leave in your wake, even the pain you cause to the people you claim to love.

We have lots of winners in my country.

Klebold and Harris “won”. I mean, how hard is it to “win” when all you have to do is walk up to a bunch of unarmed, innocent teenagers and kill them with automatic weapons…just like you did.

George Zimmerman “won”. He got scared because of the color of someone’s skin, and so he blasted a family’s dreams all to hell. Now he’s ostracized, his name synonymous with “coward”…just like you.

Leonard Leo “won,” and now women and children suffer horrific pain and death while he toasts his accomplices aboard his luxury yacht. He claimed he did it in the name of his god…just like you.

I could go on, but you get the point. This kind of "victory" is for cowards.

About "Indictment Fatigue"

I was listening to Allison Gill on some Serius show, and she said she posted a poll (which I've searched for, but can't find) that basically said (I'm paraphrasing):

Do you have "Indictment Fatigue"?

___No

___Fuck No

Am I the only old lady out here crushing hard on Jack Smith right now?

Marc Elias is ANGRY! And I don't blame him
