Kermit's voice is far more pleasant. Brainworm sounds like he gargles with broken glass.

Sorry for your loss. My own mother passed in 2024. It's a gut punch.

Why is it so hard for so many men just to be decent and respectful instead of creepy and predatory towards women?

Horned owl in tree. 🦉

Crows having a massive tantrum this morning, for no apparent reason. Turns out that an owl is nesting in the tree next door. Big horned guy, just chilling, while the crows cawed hysterically. Photo courtesy of my sister, whose phone takes better pictures. #photography #owls #wildlife

I think there's another House seat from CA that is empty after the Republican incumbent died. Maybe there will be a special election to fill them both at the same time.

The only thing I don't love about "The Princess Bride" is the end-credit song "Storybook Love." ("My love is like a storybook story, but it's as real as the feelings I feel"? Seriously, Knopfler? You've penned better lyrics.) But everything else: 10/10.

I doubt the HOTUS is on anyone's side but her own. Still, whatever helps to get the truth out there.

Quick, send this clown to stump for the next authoritarian a-hole up for election!

If your heart is ever ready for another cat, maybe you could name her Artemis after the mission and the healing.

Shitler may be just stupid enough to send him.

Delighted for the people of Hungary. Now which right-wing authoritarian POS is facing an election next?

Let's call this move the "spraggle upon waggle," after Christopher Smart's poem in praise of his cat Jeoffry.

Smelling of sulfur, no doubt. And maybe going down rather than up. But hey, as long as he goes...

She's accused, he's denied. In which case, let there be a full investigation. Meanwhile, find someone else to support for governor of CA.

I'd never want to forget. But that doesn't mean that remembering is painless. It's been about 18 months for me. I've reached the point where I just let the memories ebb and flow like the tide. The sadness comes but it also goes.

Yes, it's normal. My mom's been gone for a year and a half, and not a day goes by that I don't think of her. And feeling guilt when you do something nice for yourself is also common. But if your loved one wouldn't begrudge you that pleasure, try to let yourself off the hook.

Only if we want a latrine for pigeons.

We elected you to Congress to be a check on executive power, not a spectator.

You swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to protect a man who threatens democracy, threatens war, and threatens the future.

Stop hiding behind voters.

Stop punting responsibility.

DO YOUR JOBS.👇

Well, that explains her bizarre press conference.

Too bad, but maybe we could get Rs spending more money to ensure that they keep it.

Will the GOP have to defend that House seat again in November?

Cloud egg with toast.

Coddled egg with soldiers.

Egg in a window.

Scrambled eggs.

Eggs for Easter breakfast. What could be more fitting? And which would you go for? Cloud, coddled, window, or scrambled? #photography #food #eggs

I wonder if she cried...

Finished another Lyons Pride story over the weekend. Almost 45K words. Is that an extra long novella or a very short novel? #books #writing

Then let them travel to a dead one, and leave those of us who actually care about Earth alone with her.

Just don't require her to sing. There are so many actresses who can hold their own in a musical. Broadway ingenues appearing in revivals. Disney would have been wiser to cast one of them.

She's adequate but not much more than that in the most recent remake of Little Women.

Try a library with a DVD collection?

Mostly I agree. And the animated B&B is superior in every way. But I was pleasantly surprised by the live action Cinderella (the animated version with more emphasis on the mice than the humans bores me stiff), so I gave B&B a chance. Conclusion: Watson cannot and should not lead a musical.

I wish they'd kept the shack scene a bit closer to the book version. I remember reading and thinking it was a strong pivot point. Harry enters the shack with one set of expectations and leaves with a completely different one. It felt a little rushed in the film.
