I’ve had passive s*******l ideations, off and on, for decades. Typically they come maybe 2-3 times a year, and subside after a day or two. Now they’re here for a big chunk of the day, every day. Still passive, which in some ways makes it worse because I can’t even imagine doing anything to relieve the misery. I know we’re supposed to think of ourselves as responsible for our own mental health, but I’m 100% blaming Pig-King and the ghouls backing him for my current state. I just am.

Working the late shift again.

Could somebody explain to me why the Mariners’ radio broadcast sounds like they’re at the ballpark while ours sounds like they’re in a studio? Bring up that crowd mic, WXYT!

Sad news about Jenks. 44 is a hideously young age to die.

If you aren’t the full package of white, male, Christian, cishet, ablebodied, neurotypical, wealthy, *and* 100% MAGA-loyal and compliant, you are completely and utterly expendable to the current US regime. They’ll use you if they are able, for their own benefit or to weaponize you against other Others, and if/when they can’t they’ll feed you to the gators, literally or metaphorically, without blinking. Don’t kid yourself that they won’t.

Literally holding the House hostage for hours in the dead of night on a procedural vote. Mike Johnson is, as Hawkeye once described Frank Burns, a hermaphroditic weasel.

If I leave the house at all this weekend, which isn't likely, I'll be sporting a black armband. Say "hi" if you see me.

I’m pretty sure I don’t want to be in this world anymore.

Oof

Stable Genius at Work

I had the misfortune of being peripherally involved with a group of Pentecostals in the ‘90s. Superficially friendly but bat****-crazy folks with terrible theology and worse politics, and absolutely a specific Type. I’m not a bit surprised to see them caught up in MAGA. (Assuming we’re talking about true believers here and not pure knavish operators and grifters, of course. MAGA houses plenty of both.)

Cool, another kick in the nuts. https://www.yahoo.com/news/scotus-allows-trump-resume-3rd-205100498.html

Just a stupid, stupid man.

Although, given the patriarchal Christian fundamentalists in the GOP base, it’s probably not that much more likely.

Yep
