  • If you can’t joke about death then what? I made jokes with my mother about having lost two toes to diabetes. Just couldn’t count past 18 anymore. She loved the manicures and pedicures insurance paid for. She was twisted.

    My joking helps with coping with traumas. World’s greatest defense mechanism.

    And I’ve been shaving my head for decades so I’ve heard jokes since the 90’s. All of them.

  • Steve Albini, Influential Producer of ’90s Rock and Beyond, Dies at 61
  • So many good memories of his music. It introduced me to industrial in the early 90’s. This just means that the artists of my generation are starting to pass. I’m sad.

    There is nothing wrong with sticking to one’s convictions.

  • Educators under fire: Teachers targeted by Libs of TikTok
  • Well put. I am also not young. I remember the hate and the use of that word as well. It really does weird me out at times that the queer community is as accepted as it has become. I hope it will one day be a normalized part of society. Many of my old friends and family would welcome that.

    As for that woman you wrote of, I agree with you except for her being pitied. She deserves nothing other than to be remembered for her actions so they will hopefully not be allowed to happen again.

  • NY Attorney General asks judge to reject $175 million bond in Donald Trump's civil fraud case
  • That would be most excellent. His bond is crap, maybe maybe maybe the supremes will rule his immunity claims are total nonsense, opening of the Stormy Daniel’s case, the contempt hearing. Am I missing anything? Not a good week for orange crush. Where’s my popcorn?

  • Ohio to purchase mobile homes to train public school staff in firearms
  • I miss being a teacher so much. Definitely not for this crap. I worked with another teacher years back who actually kept a bullet proof vest on his office. A bit of a nut. This would be back in 2011, I believe. I just rolled my eyes. Scared me.

    I used to be a gun owner. I enjoyed shooting and cleaning my gear. I also believe in laws that control so that people like me don’t have them. I have my own mental health demons so , no guns. I also believe in a need to train heavily for situations that may occur. Teachers don’t have time to pee (personal experience of myself and others), let alone train for this. Preparedness for life or death situations takes a whole lot of training. If a teacher is already frazzled, which we always are, and a situation starts, I would not want that person armed and protecting. No doubt the ones who wish to carry are the cowboys who would run at the first shot heard anyway.

  • Trying to help this kitty and he does not need any.

    My wife and I have been taking care of this stray. We usually go outside and call for it and make some noises for him to come out to eat. A few nights back we go out for the same routine. We call and we hear him. Finally, we look up. About 10’ up is this.

    Little guy finds some safety in that huge hole beneath him. He tucks right in. Until he poked his head out we had no idea.

    Forgive if the picture is a bit dark.

    Tides go in. Tides go out.

    My wife just showed me this. Words escape me.
