Was just on my Nextdoor feed, sometimes an oppositional sewer and wondering what the hell is going on with the American psyche? Then I remembered the good, ole Iconoclasts. The dudes that hated all the pretty and good stuff, so they ripped it up or burned it down. And now they've bred like rodents living under a pizzeria. There's millions of them who will refute everything and anything because it gives them sadistic pleasure. This is why we can't have nice things.🆖

How cool is this "I voted" sticker? It was made by a school kid in Lake County, IL in a competition. Has a Keith Haring vibe. Oh yeah, I voted in our primaries this morning.

It never fails. Tonight there's supposed to be some spectacular celestial event and of course, it's overcast. Thick, snow filled clouds. In the past year, the best I've seen are a few full moons because I guess we don't deserve to view celestial events here. Hmph. ☁️

Have already selected a film to stream tonight so I can avoid the brain rot of the "State of the What the Hell?" speech. I encourage you to do the same.

On Facebook, I saw a video of JD Vance offering an invitation to Pope Leo for the 250 anniversary of the US. The pontiff took the envelope, tossed it into a basket to his right as if to say "Yeah, whatever". The Pope will be visiting Lampedusa, on July 4th. It's the island in the Mediterranean where migrants from Africa frequently land on their perilous voyage to Europe. 🌍

@EVDHmn@ecoevo.social Re: Fortune ~ I get it, but I also read the piece and the study seems legit. I did some work in an elementary school and the kids were digital addicts always on their tablets and could barely relate to each other. It was sort of creepy.

Tonight I watched "The Swedish Connection", a film about WWll currently streaming on #Netflix . Ultimately, it's about some petty bureaucrats defeating even bigger bureaucrats at their own game, and saving a lot of lives in the process. Sometimes humorous, poignant and beautifully crafted. Recommend. 🎦 #Movies

Seems to me, that the most universal answer to nearly all political malfeasance is "follow the money." 💰 💸

Just got a call from the county regarding my property tax appeal. Government forms simply scramble my brain. They need a declaration page from my home-owners insurance and a few signatures. I located the declaration insurance page in my paper files, but still have to go to the county building for the signatures. Deadline is next Thursday. So excuse me while I go punch myself in the face for the rest of the afternoon. Fun times and a field trip to Waukegan. Ugh.👊

Ruminating on the possibility that an ex royal's arrest might bring down the house of Epstein/Trump. Probably just a fever dream, eh?
Well done UK, flowers all around. 👏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 💐

That punch a Nazi kid puncher was very polite to the kid holding the support Ice sign in his high-school. The punchee was recording him, the puncher kid said "I'm going to punch you now". The punchee replied "I'm going to report you." So the puncher said "Okay." Puncher is my hero of the week. 👊 💯

Night shoveling complete. That's roughly ten inches/25 cm deep. Crazy. New appreciation for those who have to do this often. Like more than every 25 years. Maybe tomorrow I can get some winter beauty

Tonight I watched "Deliver Me From Nowhere" currently streaming on #Hulu. I didn't have high expectations for this film, but the 2 Jeremys, Strong and Allen White, pulled off a pretty entertaining piece about a span of darkness that befell Bruce Springsteen. The music was raw and wonderful. It quite surprised me how something could move from such quiet to raucous in the span of a few minutes. The sound mixing was exceptional. It's well worth your viewing time. 🎦 #Movies
