Welcome to the weekend. Any big plans? I’m going apple picking…Seems like an appropriate fall-ish activity. I have the last part of the bathroom project to finish – have to hang the mirrors and the towel hooks. Then I think my recent spate of house mania will be over.
Ugh.

Ok this one made me LOL
Enjoy your weekend. Touch grass!
Jeebus, the fire at the explosives plant. Sounds like a worst case industrial accident (someone broke safety protocols to speed up production?)
I’m assuming with no evidence that any type of federal or state oversight was gutted, probably within the last 9 months.
Apparently, even when there was oversight, it was ignored. No reason for safety protocols when you’re manufacturing explosives!.
As a former safety rep, I’m not shocked especially if profit motive is there.
Guarantee at the state level there was no oversight, Tennessee don’t give no shit.
FREEDUMB!
Peter’s worried about the anti-christ, but elected Trump?
I guess Peter’s got a different idea of what’s evil than I do. I see a selfish, greedy, narcissist with delusions of grandeur, thief, liar, actual convicted criminal and rapist as evil.
It’s a standard belief system for rich assholes: Good is anything that makes me richer, and evil is anything that prevents me from doing whatever the hell I want.
Billionaires are simple folk.
Tech Brahs, the simplest of them all.
Here’s an even more fun story with pics of that great event…

Like the Disco Stu Jewish guy… (if the antiChrist is real then your people get burned in a nuclear apocalypse to save the morons around you) it’s a bunch of fucking idiots and the kind of moron hipster shitheads who stabbed my friend in the back at his startup.
It looks like Trump’s federal layoffs are illegal, for what that’s worth. Workers are already filing lawsuits, but eventually it will end up with the Supreme Taliban and we know how that will go.
Trump begins cruel layoffs of federal workers as his shutdown drags on
Today in leopards ate my face:
Scoop: Trump admin warns of “insufficient funds” for food stamps
But wait! Who gets the most food stamps?
Red States Are About to Go Hungry Thanks to Trump
It’s also interesting that Republicans are trying to use withholding food stamps as leverage when they slashed the program as part of that stupid megabill.
Looks like they are just going to try to find ways to get around anything that makes them look bad. Pretty soon it will be, we are only going to pay Trump voters that sign a loyalty pledge…

You know the knuckledraggers don’t give a shit. All they hear is that it’s Biden’s fault and they eat that and ask for seconds.
It’s never going to sink in, is it?
Kentucky town loses senior care center because of Trump
The cuts dig deep in my Kentucky Old Home,
‘Tis summer, the place is closed;
The billionaires are rich and the economy’s going boom
While the MAGAts love Trump all the day.
My god these people are stupid…

Let’s not go to the Trump White House, it’s a silly place.
Lovely film reference, 10/10.
Such a classic.
