When your 14 year old black Labrador is terminal & you know he really wants to put his belly & paws in the ocean & on the snow once again, you make it happen. August and 92º or not.
I love you, Fiver! 🐾

Oh, look. Judge Cannon dismissed the classified documents case against Trump.
I’m so sick of democrats trying to play Scrabble in a fistfight.
For fuck’s sake! Hit. Back!
Refile this case in DC. NOW!

So, Ted Kaczynski just died. Hm. Guess there’s room in a prison cell for Captain Bonespurs now. That was mighty Christian of Ted to give up his bunk like that for Donny.

I try not to make any room for schadenfreude in my life. But seeing Alex Jones corrode has certainly been welcome. Not quite full-on schadenfreude but just enjoying seeing Justice be done unto deserving assholes. May this trend get momentum & continue onward.

I love the architecture in my city. Especially in the fall and winter. Saw a neighbor’s house look like this while walking with the dog.
Meant to share this a bit ago, but better late than never.

to all who partake!
AKA the Christmas Book Flood: an Icelandic tradition where books are given as gifts on Xmas Eve, opened, & the rest of the eve is spent reading them.
That's my kind of holiday! Hopefully you make it your kind, too. Read & be merry!
Wanna have some fun with

’s new book HOLLY? Take it into a dark room and look at the cover. Awesome!
And if you haven’t gotten your copy yet, this is all the more reason to go grab you one! Happy New Book Day!

is a lot of fun to be had in the theater. Really appreciated & enjoyed the care, dexterity, and talent all around in bringing that one out to the world.

When you have insanely talented friends & they share that talent with you, everything just feels so much lighter and better. Especially when they’re sneaky and just mail you snacks like this October gem!
@cpwilsoniii
you rock, dude. I love it! Thank you!
Goodbye Fiver. 🐾
I'll be haunted (in the best of ways!) by his absence just as much as I was rewarded with his presence. I wanted to build a space for him, where he was safe and loved. Oddly enough, he was at work building a space for me, too. I’d say that we both succeeded.
Watching
@MargaretAtwood
use a flamethrower upon one of her books is amazing. Her quote - even better: "I never thought I'd be trying to burn one of my own books...and failing." Great idea for an auction!

If there's something else after all of This, another place that we go after moving on from here, I know he'll be there waiting. Excited to show me where all the good scents and fallen apples are once again. And this time I'll run to him, so he can show me the way...
Was just sworn in to my city's Board of Ethics and though no one asked me to put my hand on the Good Book, I had another great one handy just in case...

I love a big storm but prefer no one gets hurt & the power stays on. Lots without power now, thanks to the wind, but hopefully folks’re ok. Peak gust was 68 mph, so it’s no wonder the trees have fallen & the lines are down.
But it’s unique looking outside.

It's been a long time since I've seen a line of 35+ people willing to wait in line to get seated for breakfast. But Thornton's Restaurant in Boston has it, and it's worth the wait!
Not sure how you spent your day but I was fortunate enough to see her for a while. Nothing like having an enormous bald eagle in your back yard. Aside from her eating a squirrel in front of you afterward.

Happiest of birthdays to this 7 year old! It's a fun filled day of running around, frisbee-action, dog walking, friend-seeing, bone-chewing... you name it, we're there!
One of my favorite Paul Reubans memories is after the embarrassing arrest and ridicule he took for the theater bullshit, he eventually came out to give an award, as Herman - and I want to say it was for the MTV Movie Awards, and the crowd went nuts.
Happy birthday, Fiver! I can’t believe you’re 10 today. What a decade we’ve been through together! And there’s more fun adventures ahead. I love you, buddy! 🐾

Happy birthday to this guy! Finally have a teenager in the house. You still have a lot of puppy in your head & heart - I can absolutely relate!

Okay, there has to be a Mercy Rule in congress going forwards. If you run for something 10 times in a row & lose 10 times in a row, you *have* to stop & go home.
It's supposed to save one from humiliation, not cradle them within more of it.
Kevin McCarthy: look up cumberground
@GillianRedfearn
Maybe it was an autocorrect fail? He probably was dictating “I’m hoping to get fired & blacklisted in my industry, how quickly can this happen?”
I hope you lot are okay. As always, if you need *anything* I’m but a beep away!
Saw video of
@lukecombs
talking to 2 kids who stacked wood in order to buy tickets to his Bangor concert. Luke pulled out his wallet, gave 'em all he had, promised to give more afterward, signed their hats, & told them to stick around after the show. I'm now a Luke Combs fan!
They cheered and hooted for him for a long time and Pee-Wee melted away and Paul took his place for that moment before he came back and said, “Heard any good jokes lately? Heh heh!”
2023 was quite a year. ‘24 is gonna be a trip.
Enjoy tonight - be kind, don’t fight, and don’t drive drunk (or allow others to, either)!
There’s a lot to do in the year ahead, and I wanna see you in it.
Cheers!
'Twas a fine day anyway. Seeing the ticker say McCarthy loses 4th & 5th rounds just made it better.
I just saw he lost the 6th, too!
Way to go, Big Kev! You can do it! Try for the 9th & 10th. Just to set the low bar so high for future spineless insurrection apologists!
Finally won
@hqtrivia
! There's a certain satisfaction in winning a trivia game. As if justifying all the random trinkets stored in the halls of my memory are valid.
I really loved people that day, as a whole. And pop culture people, who get a lot of shit for (too many) bad apples. But that night, they took a beloved figure & saw a human being and welcomed him home. I was happy he had the courage to go out there and I hope it helped him heal.
Words matter.
Mitch McConnell isn’t a “man of honor” but rather a traitor to the US Constitution. And Jan 6 wasn’t “legitimate political discourse” any more than assassinating political foes is “legitimate grievance resolution.”
The GOP is beyond saving. Beyond defending.
I have to admit, I’m not sure why people are applauding Will Smith right now, considering what he just showed the world. Or why he’s joking and trying to make light of assaulting someone live on television like that.
Just wondering: what are the chances that the President’s car, The Beast, has recording capabilities inside? Wouldn’t that be amazing to subpoena the footage of Trump’s tantrum & assault!

Yeah, this is accurate. There is no choice for me.
And for the party of invertebrate hypocrites & ghouls like Ann Coulter who criticized Gus Walz, a teenager, you can rot in every incarnation of Hell.
“Christian values” my asshole.
Civic duty ✔️
Read up on each issue ✔️
Researched candidates ✔️
Spoke to candidates ✔️
Ignored fear mongering candidates who spread misinformation, ignored rules, lax in calling out negative ads they “had no part in making” ✔️
Hoping others did their due diligence ✔️
Good think Michael Cohen is busy trying to straighten out his life. Otherwise, I'm sure Trump would have had him attempt to pay off the hoax and made it go away.
This is what living in a Right Wing America looks like.
The Bad News is - they're just getting started.
The Good News is - they can be stopped. They're telling you what they're going to do. Out loud.
Believe them!
Make their actions finally have consequences.
“The Committee concurs with the ISC’s determination that Representative Santos’ conduct warrants public condemnation, is beneath the dignity of the office, and has brought severe discredit upon the House,”
This could apply to so many more in the House, easily.
Dominion could have illuminated this in court. Maybe Smartmatic will get around to shining the light on truth. *turn the sound on*
The Truth IS out there.

The forgiveness the republican base will have for their leaders is unconscionable.
The republican leaders who’ve acted unconscionably are unforgivable.
I really wish Ted Crockett would put his hands on another book for once. At least one additional book... try it, Ted, you won't turn to salt or burn in hell, I promise.
Happy All Hallows' Eve eve you lot! Subterranean Press has a wonderful treat for those interested -

's "A Sign of the Times" is free for download (along w/always killer art by Brian Coldrick). Go get yourself some...

Merrick Garland recently said "We are enforcing the law, without fear or favor. We are upholding the rule of law. And we are protecting the American people."
Total Bullshit. It's like watching an earthworm pick its nose.

I know from experience how the Secret Service interacts with people who make threats against POTUS, even ones they can't carry out. This, from a former President, is totally out of bounds. It's time to stop letting Trump break the rules. Long past time.
