Yesterday, I had Tillamook ice cream. While I was eating, I felt a clack against my teeth. I spat out a small piece of metal. It had cut my tongue a little.
I reported this to Tillamook and to the FDA and to Michigan's food safety site. If you have any of this brand in your freezer, be careful.
Who would have thought the women's hocky team would have more balls than the men's?
The red-wing blackbirds and the robins are back in Michigan. It's way early for them, though it's nice to hear them in the trees. I wonder what they're eating.
There's a Wiki based in Europe that outs ICE agents. Want to look? icelist.is
Aunt Lynne died yesterday.
Technically, she hasn't been my aunt since I was in middle school, when she and my uncle (by blood) got divorced, but my family has a habit of keeping the exes around.
She was my... (more) stevenpiziks.dreamwidth.org/779065.html
Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
I have a confession. I call Miracle Whip "mayonnaise."
Whew. I feel better now.
Being rich means people give you shit for free. I've never understood why the people with the most money get the most gifts.
If you see ICE in your neighborhood, here's what to do:
The baboon spoke at a Ford plant in Detroit yesterday. Here's how he started it off:

Yes, that's the leader of the free world.
RFK's phone went off during a press conference. His ringtone is a duck quack. You can't make this shit up.

Full picture of the killer
This is Trump’s masked ICE agent, who shot the woman in Minneapolis, fleeing from the scene about 90 seconds after the shooting.
You can hear a witness yelling, “Don’t let the murderer leave.”
Local news has now posted video from a neighbor's surveillance cam. It does appear like the officer may have been pushed aside slightly by the bumper as the victim turned to leave.
Again, seems clear from the video that there was no deliberate attempt to run anyone down.
An ICE officer just shot and killed a woman by shooting her several times in the face.

Have you noticed that doctors on ST tend to have one of two personality types? They're either:
1. warm and empathetic (Crusher, Phlox, M'Benga, Bashir, Culber)
2. snarky/crusty/"Yeah, shut up and I'll get you fixed, you big baby" (McCoy, the EMH Doctor, Pulaski, T'Ana)
The baboon continues his not-so-quiet campaign to conquer Greenland, which would trigger a war with Europe. He hasn't even finished one war before planning the next one.
But this is the "peace president."

The baboon will do anything, including invade a foreign country, murder its citizens, and kidnap its leader, to distract us from the Epstein files.
Some genius took a photo of the baboon in his bad orange makeup and, using the exposed areas of skin as a reference, Photoshopped an image of what the baboon looks like WITHOUT makeup. Here's a before-and-after.
He looks like a cadaver.
A tale of two trifles.

"As an atheist, all Muslims..." This, says the English teacher, is called a "dangling modifier." Because of where this phrase is placed, it looks like "atheist" refers to "all Muslims." Your rephrasing above is clearer. You should have used that rather than call me stupid for noting your mistake.
" As an atheist, all Muslims I know feel a powerful call by Allah" Um...what? Muslims, by definition, aren't atheist.
The news media keep shouting about the Democrats releasing dozens more Epstein photos, but the media only show three of them and do a half-assed description of the rest. There's no link to the full photo set. I sure can't find one.
The media is getting them from SOMEWHERE. Does anyone have a link?

Yeah, it went through right speedily! I was startled, and then I was annoyed that I was startled. These days, I should know better.
