…& I don’t know as polling data really makes me feel better about much these days
But you told people two years ago —
I did. But so did Public Enemy. So did KRS-One. So did Marvin Gaye. There’s something about seeing things on camera. If O.J. kills Nicole on camera, the trial is two days. [Laughs.] It’s two days trying to figure out what kind of cell he deserves. It’s just Johnnie going, [Johnnie Cochran voice] “Well I think he needs at least a 12-by-8. Can he have ESPN?” That would be the whole trial.
President Trump’s continued denigration of Pentagon officials highlights the fraught nature of his relationship with Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper weeks ahead of the election, as the president’s remarks undermine his Pentagon chief and threaten to erode confidence in one of the nation’s most trusted institutions.
…not gonna lie…that shit should be the fucking end times for not just a few careers but whole fucking agencies as they are currently incarnated…not just another footnote in this endless shitshow…but I barely know where to begin about all the ways it’s beyond fucked up…&…well…there’s more to go, yet
Federal agencies could hire employees for up to 10 years for work they consider not permanent, under a Trump administration proposal that a union representative called “a streamlined way to fire people.”
…although it’s pretty clear that for some zero interest is a good thing
In an attempt to revive the economy and the labor market, the Federal Reserve chair, Jerome H. Powell, said the Fed plans to keep interest rates near zero through at least 2023.
…I don’t know…I suspect things maybe seem better when meg writes these…but I’m pretty sure there’s a Food You Can Eat rolling in this afternoon so things might look up a bit then?
Sadly, with my litany of food allergies, I don’t get to enjoy those posts either. #FoodHatesMe
The list, since it’s what everyone always asks next:
Gluten, Dairy, Soy, and FODMAPs
Also, no one needs to make any changes to those food posts. I’m used to this, and my wife (who is awesome and amazing and a chemist) has been incredible in finding and adapting recipes so that I don’t have to eat cardboard and wallpaper paste all the time.
Keep up the fight and good works. You all are wonderful.
No worries. I’m used to this. Random other people don’t have to change their diet just because I can’t have food.
Wait, this is America. I’m going about this all wrong…
I’M GOING TO SUE ALL OF YOU FOR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS BECAUSE YOU POST ABOUT FOOD I CAN’T EAT AND IT MAKES ME HAVE THE SAD FEELINGS.
Hello AdabOfOppo! Might your good wife be willing to share one or ten of her special adapted recipes? If so, please message me – we can do a Food You Can Eat in your honor!
No. No, we have not. And I’m forced to assume that his stance is either financially or politically motivated, because a caring human being would not urge his parishioners to court death just so they can attend Mass.
Somebody in the Vatican needs to slap this shit down.
I heard a very cute thing this morning while out walking Fanny. We saw a woman talking a walk with her three small daughters. They were probably between 3 and 8 years old, wearing cute flowered T shirt dresses. The oldest was riding a scooter and had on a very girly flowered helmet. As I approached with my large, slobbery dog, the woman asked the girl on the scooter to move from the sidewalk onto the edge of the road with them. She did, saying “the roads better anyway because I want to shred. Move out of the way I’m gonna shred.” I somehow managed not to crack up because it was very adorable and funny. But I didn’t want to embarrass or discourage her. I’m all for girls shredding! And it reminded me of my daughter who loved girly things but still enjoyed traditional boy activities. So, my day started out on a good note and I’m going to avoid reading any bad news while I’m still smiling about scooter girl.
So I’m going to try to go get something done but will first break protocol and tease tonight’s DUAN (please read the lyrics) and a chant we can all use with a nice bassline.
TIL…. you need eggshells for magix
me daughters been hoarding them….apparently shes a wiccan now
coz life round here wasnt wierd enough
tbh….some magix must be involved…eggshells go upstairs and are never seen again…. im a little scared of what ill find when i clean up there as shes away for the weekend…
anyhoo…. have a local
tbh i dont know what else shes been using…i just noticed the egg shells
i dont mind her being all witchy and shit if that makes her feel good
just like any other religion…if it gets you through the day im fine with it
just dont try to convert me
far as im concerned religion is a deeply personal thing
me personally…i believe in shit that works
…from the bits of the various religious texts I’ve got as far as reading my inclination is to agree with all of that…for those to whom it’s useful I think religion is largely a pretty positive thing in & of itself…& mostly inclines those so inclined to something approaching their best behavior
…where they (the religions…& I guess thereby the religious) can run into diminishing returns (& possibly worse) seems to be around the point they start to spell church with a capital C?
…because historically speaking…Churches have done some pretty unspeakable shit…can’t say as I’m a big fan of crusades, for a start
…so I guess maybe I’m an agnostic with a preference for disorganized religion…someone probably.already has a word for that, too…but if so that’s definitely not a text I’ve read yet
oh…im pretty sure im agnostic
i believe there absolutely could be a god/goddess/marsbar whatever
now prove it to me
otherwise im going to stick to my belief i will find out when i die
…mind you…they do say sometimes it’s hard to tell your agnostic from a gnostic
…but that’s a whole other ball of wax…with or without eggshells
…I’m liking the church of “plenty of time to find out when I’m dead” though…eternity is a long-ass time & we’ll need something to do…why everyone’s in such a rush to jump that gun is a bit of mystery, really
Well, I guess that’s enough internet for the day.
Maybe tomorrow won’t be as bad…
(Plot twist! It’s always worse.)

…aw, shucks…I’m glad it sounds like someone knows how to keep you in brownies/muffins & such but I’m sorry for taunting you with forbidden foodstuffa

I can ask for a few recipes. She’d be chuffed to bits to share them.
Yippee!!! Feel free to take photos before you scarf all that good food up!

Catholics must resist government’s unjust repression of our right to worship
What? So Catholics should spread disease because otherwise it’s persecution?
Is this “educated” man aware that church services contributed to and exacerbated the Black Plague? Have we learned nothing in six fucking centuries?

I hope that girl has every opportunity to shred for the rest of her life.
Shred on, little one. Shred on.
The news just makes me angrier every day! Then I heard about this site which REALLY got me pissed!
