Mary Trump: Contempt.

"What we are collectively facing is a test to see whether this country can set itself right. This is a test we have failed repeatedly throughout the centuries. One aspect of this case that makes the situation more fraught, is the knowledge that Donald’s indictments and criminality intensify his followers’ devotion to him. The same if true for the entire Republican Party, with very few exceptions."

I dropped my phone in the toilet. Fully loaded. Quickly removed, rinsed - also quickly. Removed from case, towel-dried, seemed to keep working but screen jumpy. Couldn't turn off for a while, finally got it off. Now sitting in white rice in a warm oven. Send good vibes.

I guess the picture didn't attach - I had a failure to lunch.

Today was overcast and stormy and rainy and I just never got out of my sweats and robe (a la the dude) and I pretty much just fucked off the whole day. I think this is 3rd "dinner" after 2nd breakfast. It's not even dark yet. 😎 When it does I'll put on a movie.

So a concrete and steel bridge collapsed from a fire? Fire cant melt steel, right? Obviously the CIA destroyed that bridge. /s

More than half of recent inflation is corporate profit taking. Price controls rather than raising interest rates is a better solution.

Oh man I've been busy all day long. I have just seen some posts that perhaps someone is finally gotten in trouble. I asked for this for my birthday 2 days ago, but I'm perfectly happy to have a belated birthday gift like this.

Then powdered in Creole and Tajin seasonings.
Okay, that's breakfast. Followed by another brownie brittle.

The mild satisfaction that comes from a perfectly peeled boiled egg.

Good morning 'nauties!

Brownie Brittle and #coffee -- that's breakfast, right?

Got to go turn some water on for the plants while it's still morning here. Means I'll have to put on some pants. Damn it.

It's abnormal hot in PR this week. 95 F, but humidity bringing the "Feels Like" temp to as much as 125 F. Warmer than normal waters and stalled atmospheric heat dome making a double whammy. Small percentage here have air conditioning and the electric grid is unreliable for those that do. Power Co. LUMA says, reduce your electric usage. Riiight.

Dam on the Dnipro river blown within the last hour or two - Crimea flooding in hours.

Video looks authentic.

Robert Hansen dead.
That opens up a cell for an espionage prisoner.

Tomorrow is my birthday, and I'm waiting for my present from Jack Smith.

"...worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history."

...so far.

Remodel/renovation this week on my Casita - bought it 5-6 years ago with intent to do this, but had a succession of friends needing housing, so have rented it out since. It's needed a lot of work, particularly downstairs. But it's got good bones. Today I will spend on a skid steer reconfiguring the backyard and moving 6-8 inches that have accumulated against the house because of the slope out back. And building ~100 ft of fence.

When you tear out a tile on drywall shower and discover a window.
