Wouldja lookit that? ARMED THUGS STORMED GIULIANI'S 80th BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

https://www.thedailybeast.com/rudy-giuliani-served-with-indictment-at-his-80th-birthday-party?ref=home

Nah, he'd like to think it was drama, but some folks from AZ showed up at 11 pm, right before the old prevert's bedtime, and handed him a subpoena. Good. Watch him get dragged into court and try to LIE his way out of it!

Everybody switch browsers to Firefox. Google is doing some shitty-ass stuff with Chrome that will FORCE their ads onto your eyeballs, and if you don't go along, they won't LET you use Chrome. Good. Tell them to go fuck themselves. Chrome is a crappy-assed browser, and not all the "Don't be Evil" policies in the world will make me happy with turning over all my data to Google muthafuckas for sale or rent.

Our local and free is the best thing our local community has done for .

We can give the extra plants that love to volunteer in the and exchange a few , , plants, or garden tools that people want to share.

Here is the link to the FB group if you want to find some inspiration and start some for your community. It is my last reason to still use FB.

I sure wish had groups like this one.

@compost It's amazing how many of our lovely LGBTQ fam are gardeners AND readers. I guess when you have to hide who you really are from most people, it makes sense to want to do things on your own. Nothing better than sitting in the garden, surrounded by this little piece of a beautiful planet. Our home.

@compost I understand. It's just that they're siphoning so much data about you, constantly. Fortunately, we have a couple of local Seed Libraries with emphasis on open-pollinated and heirloom varieties adapted to our local microclimates.

@compost I will NEVER use Facebook. But perhaps you could start a Fediverse-wide Free Library for gardeners?

I was yelling about the NAR Christians for the last decade in Singapore, where local acolytes also have implemented versions of this theology (there’s a cinema with evangelical Christian certified content for example)

You can’t divorce that movement from the parent theology, which is this stuff. Except in Asia it becomes 80% about prosperity, 5% about God, 15% about MLM

THIS is why the Speaker of the House must NEVER AGAIN be a partisan MAGA nitwit:

https://www.rawstory.com/u-s-democrats-charge-disrespect-over-kenya-leader-snub-at-congress/

Africa is pivotal to soft power in the world. The US has been booted out of Niger, Sudan is in chaos, and problems in the middle east are exacerbated by anything in Africa. A NON-partisan or BIpartisan Speaker would have done their duty. Johnson, being a waste of skin, will snub the Kenyan President, and consequences be damned.

Speaking of locking up disabled people, I just remembered people would LOCK THEIR DAUGHTERS UP if they didn't want to marry the man their fathers wanted them to. A friend's cousin was chained to a wall in a back bedroom, and nobody knew she was there. For 20 years.

Somebody woke up EARLY this morning, sang a paean of praise to his water bowl (so loud, it woke me up), ran around the bedroom and bathroom all morning bc if he goes downstairs, Izzy will kick his ass, then screamed to be let out until Izzy (predictably) kicked his ass, right outside the bedroom door, got dragged in to the bedroom again, sang more songs, ran around some more, BANGED on the bathroom door, and, when we opened it, changed his mind. Now sleeping like a bebe.

I follow food YouTubers from certain countries not err, known for their culinary prowess, and it’s just an anthropological thing at this point. ‘Best recipe ever!! Everyone will love it!!’ And it’s something they would get me uninvited from dinner parties in my part of the world, like if I showed up with unseasoned potatoes.

It really reminds me that people are so different

@skinnylatte Have you ever tried "baeckhoffe?" Also called "laundry day stew," it's basically a bunch of meat-like stuff cooked with potatoes and JUNIPER BERRIES. For those hitherto unacquainted with Juniper berries, may I invite you all to imagine what Satan's bunghole (which might be another name for this herb, or I could be getting it mixed up with asafoetida, which shares the monicker) smells like. You're welcome. It tastes about as thrilling as it smells.

OK. So here I am on Wednesday afternoon, and my evil ways have finally caught up with me. My left ankle looks like a ham trussed up for roasting, and my right knee looks like a ball. Some kind of ball. I know they're not supposed to look like that. Both those bastids HURT like hell.

Meanwhile, my doctor's on vacation, there is not a SINGLE OPERATING MRI FACILITY in the greater Bay Area with the sole exception of fucking Lafayette, FFS, and I have to drag my ass to the dr bc.

Victoria and Vladyslav got married in May of 2023. They planned a wedding celebration on their first anniversary. But Vladyslav died defending Ukraine in November.

"I didn't know that I will be bringing a wedding bouquet to you this year, not you to me...I didn't know there would be no more photos together," Victoria wrote. She had a photosession on their first anniversary.

Anybody know why it sounds like WW II up here? Who's setting off fireworks IN SUMMER IN THE BAY AREA when we still haven't finished cutting firebreaks around our homes? Are they fucking crazy, or do they just need a sound beating to calm them down and put them quietly to sleep?

sound beatings are those that produce lots of sounds other than those of the actual beating

@glasspusher Are you experimenting with things that go boom! Bc if I find bits of you in my garden in the morning ...
