I was getting on to say this!

oh hey “rigmarole” is NOT from french at all! it is a weird contraction of “ragman’s roll,” an 18-century list of offenses!

Day Three of this horrible cold. I feel a bit better (and an running errands -- masked!) but sound worse. My immune system is so strong that it attacks my own body; how did it let this bug through?

This is a dance off. If you see this, repost a dance.

So very true so take care of yourselves out there 💙💙💙 #proudblue #pinks #selfcare

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged.

Pretty thrilled to have had this dumpster to help us clear out my Dad's place! (From the nice folks at Two Lakes Dumpsters.)

I mean, sure -- but I bought this one new and hung it up on Jan. 1. I've faithfully turned the month pages every month. I love wall calendars for the art, obviously not for the calendar part. You'd think I'd've noticed when I bought it, though!

Hey Knoxville peeps, sounds a lot like McKay's, don't it?

A wall calendar with, at the top, a painting of Voyageur National Park and, below, a month grid clearly labeled "April,2025."

We've had this calendar up since New Year's Day, without noticing this important detail. Is this a sign of our inattentiveness, or of how much 2026 sucks?

Happy First Contact Day! Remember when fictional versions of the future gave us Hope?

Best Star Trek crew. Wrong answers only.

Hey, I get it. He should be impeached. But he WAS impeached already. TWICE. I don't think demanding (or getting) impeachment is going to change much of anything, you guys.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

April Fools Day has been entirely eclipsed and rendered meaningless by the very fact that Donald Trump is president of the United States rather than a convict in prison.
