Happy birthday to Natalie Schafer (1900-1991), who had a 37-year career on stage and screen before GILLIGAN’S ISLAND.

Here she is in KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY (1945) w/ Lana Turner.

Welcome to #Monsterdon, new Fedi friends. 😂

But if we don't let poor children starve, who will the conservative Christians feel superior to?

The Hitchiker’s Guide was famously written by correspondents like Ford Prefect. It wasn’t an #AI that made shit up based on some random sub-ether drivel. As a result, it was useful.

God, #DouglasAdams would have fucking hated #ElonMusk.

Curiously enough, an edition of The Guide that fell through a time warp from a thousand years in the future, defined the executive board of X as “a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came”.

11/ "I’m terrified that many angry, apathetic or ill-informed voters will wake up on Jan. 21, 2025, in a country they no longer recognize — and didn’t see coming...A democracy beat won’t mean much unless journalists report it like our existence depends upon it...

We are at war, dammit, literally and figuratively, and we can’t win this fight by hiding in the corner and absorbing the punches."

Spotted in my back yard. 😀

@MissingThePt Well, that’s certainly creepy.

Trying to sheet death. Yes, I'm here every #Sunday folks.

Not that I care about Ivana Trump necessarily, but I sometimes wonder why authorities didn’t pursue her questionable death that came just ahead of her children being deposed by the NY AG (which Ivanka is still avoiding), her hasty cremation, and quick burial in a coffin (people bury ashes in a coffin?) that took a bunch of men to carry under duress, only to be buried on a Trump property that can’t be touched without probable cause and a subpoena.

Martin Scorsese could’ve written this storyline.

A small town mayor in Alabama killed himself after a conservative web site published pictures of him in women’s clothing and make-up. The closet is a hard place to be, and outing anyone can be very harmful. We need a society where it’s okay to be who you want to be so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else. Is that so hard to imagine?

@_ohcoco_ @Waitnwallflower @RickiTarr It’s tough here in Puget Sound. Winter came early this year. I’m happy that I have a hobby that puts me next to a bright light.

Hello Fediverse 👋

For now, it's just me - once I'm comfortable with the administration tools I will be open for registrations.

Please boost to help me Federate my little space. Thank you 🙏

From focus on the 'soft voice' of extremist #MikeJohnson to soft-selling #Trump's dictatorial plans to calling killing civilians 'a crater,' something's very wrong with the #media today

It's called cowardice

From Gaza City to Capitol Hill, a cowed media is chronicling the death of democracy in a passive voice

I don't care if there is a Hamas operative in that orphanage. I do not want you to carpet bomb the orphanage, just send in some troops to get the operative. Killing the orphans is genocide and I will never approve of this.

Follow me for more recipes……

so… this is hard for me, but i’m starting to think it may be time to consider getting a permanent wheelchair. i have a loaner. it’s old, squeaky, judging by weight it’s apparently made of lead.

google seems lousy with enshittified ad pollution.

anyone out there have any good info/advice/love of a particular chair?

also any advice for coming to grips with this transition in my mobility would be greatly appreciated.

plz boost if you can.
