Just voted in my small Pittsburgh neighborhood. No line, but one of the workers told me I was the 150th voter, which apparently is a lot for this precinct. A few Harris signs out front, no drama.

And can expect to make it to 86, actuarially speaking. Plus some extra bonus years due to having the best possible health care provided to him.

Here’s a little poem I’ve written to mark the occasion:
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off.
Fuck off, fuck off.
Fuck off,
Donald
You cunt.

And I expect a Congressionally-approved retirement package in the range of $50-100 million would lead to Roberts spending those actuarial golden years in a nice villa somewhere in the South of France.

And this morning’s lecture is…the Sand Cat, courtesy of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
(We were there recently)
Newman is a sand cat, a small feline with short legs, a wide head, and tawny fur. About the size of a house cat, sand cats Felis margarita are the only cats to occur exclusively in desert habitat. They live in areas where less than 1 inch of rain falls each year, and surface temperatures can range from 124 degrees Fahrenheit during the day to 31 degrees Fahrenheit at night.
…as sand cats have extraordinary hearing. If you have ever had a domestic cat sharing your home, you understand how excellent their hearing is—and sand cats surpass that. On any cat, more than 20 muscles control each ear, and the ears can move independently; one can be pointed forward while the other is pointed back. Cat ears can quickly turn to catch sounds in all directions, including those behind the animal. They can hear the ultrasonic noises that small prey, like rodents, make, which are beyond our hearing range. The ears of a sand cat are even more specialized. Although the external ear size is about equal to a house cat’s, the inner ear canal is twice the size.

Spouse has 125 texts from Trump & Friends on his ipad as of last night, all asking for money. A little unclear on how he got on all their lists.

It’s funny how it’s become so transparent that people embrace religion as a means to get away with evil shit.

Poetically speaking of course but I’d take the “You” off and just leave the key word. Keeps the descending word pattern plus it rhymes with Trump. JMO
Regardless, concur wholeheartedly with the sentiment.

Everyone should be vigilant for signs they need a break today. Being online, doomscrolling, talking about nothing but the election, watching returns coverage, listening to bobbleheads, etc…boiling outrage, crippling anxiety, debilitating sadness, Fargo levels of nausea…whatever it is, be self-aware and practice self care. Take a break, watch something stupid and funny, go for a walk, take a dump in the MAGA neighbor’s bushes, run from an angry neighbor, lie to the cops, call your attorney, smile during a mug shot, etc…do something to be distracted. Nothing we do or say online today will change anything and it will almost certainly have the opposite of a calming effect if you don’t step away.

“A pro-Trump influencer, who uses the handle @AlphaFox78 on the social media platform X, told CNN he was paid $100 by a pro-Kremlin propagandist to post a fake video that depicted immigrants claiming to vote in the presidential election.”
A measly $100 fucking dollars is all it takes to buy these assholes? Fuck the right. Just please fuck every one of these stupid, cheap grifting motherfuckers straight to hell.

The attorney general, Ken Paxton (R), touted an agreement, ... But a DOJ spokeswoman confirmed to NBC that the agreement in place is what the department had planned to do anyway.KKKlowns like Paxton just can't stop the performative bullshit and faux dominance; it's baked into the breed.

We’re expecting unusually warm weather and a bit of sun to go with it today - so off for a late-season bicycle ride right after lunch.
