USA did have the disadvantage that the anti-Americans of the Incel Insurrection were still in-charge of the DOJ on January 7, 2021

Having flown for about 50 hours in the last couple of weeks, hopping on a short domestic fight this morning has left me with absolutely zero patience for people standing, mystified, before an overhead compartment, in sheer denial that their bags are too big to fit. Squinting and furrowing one’s brow will not, in fact, suddenly make the bag fit, and enable everyone to keep boarding.

No one should be getting their information from joke memes.

You also don't need to correct them.

Because they are jokes.

Class dismissed.

If a trans person comes out to you and is gracious enough to offer to answer questions, ask them an unexpected source of joy they’ve found in transition and watch their eyes light up.

I'm concerned about the increasing pro Putin sentiment among members of the German public. Looks like the propaganda war has gained momentum in parts of the West.

For tonight's snack:

Amish popcorn.

Things might not work out but it’s still possible to be spectacular. Jupiter really is just a failed star, it cooled down below the threshold for fusion.

Doctor: It's a girl!

Baby: gaga

Doctor, to Lady Gaga: 7 seconds old and she can already say her mother's name. My heavens, your daughter is a super genius.

@ScottSoCal @PaulSchleifer I like the idea of a semi-detached slice 😄 available in every Waitrose

Around the time I joined Mastodon, I’d adopted a new dog.

Two weeks earlier, we’d said goodbye to my last dog.

It was the end of an era, and the longest stretch of time I’d gone without a canine companion in 30 years.

My house had never been cleaner; I’d never felt so alone.

I’ve seen lots of posts today of senior dogs. Makes me think of him.

In tribute:

Can we just stop ranking everything? It's really fucking dull. Thanks.

Dear news media,
Stop using the phrase “moderate Republicans.” That’s like saying “vegan cannibals.” There are none.
Thank you,
Mark

Be honest, is this the first time you have ever rooted for a landlord?

Well, it definitely works.

It’s my first #mosstodon

are those my only two choices?

Stop saying I ‘created’ people like Marjorie Taylor Greene. That’s asinine. She was created in a meth lab.

I've lost count of the number of times I've trudged up the hills, sat waiting in the cold breeze and rain, and seen almost nothing.

Today was different. The golden eagle had read my mind, seen what I had imagined might happen, and kindly followed the script.

I spotted it perched on a ridge in the distance, and it took flight, heading towards me, then drifting by, below, lit up by the winter sunshine.

Magic. 😎
