Goodnight, friends.

I'm full of pizza and chocolate, and I'm tucked into bed with a book and two cats. Be gentle with yourselves.

I love you.

So thrilling that I did it multiple times!

We had one in the house and another in one of my parents’ cars. My parents were (mostly) patient with my need to listen to my ABBA 8-tracks in the car.

A 2-page ad for Columbia House Records Club as it appeared in Playgirl (January 1979). For $1, you could order 13 records or tapes, as long as you bought 9 more in the next 3 years at the regular price. Selections includ Allman Brother Band, Eat a Peach; Moody Blues, Octave; Freddy Fender, Swamp Gold; The Best of Glen Campbell; Styx, Pieces of Eight; and Crystal Gale, Only When I Dream.

Which 8-tracks are you gonna order from this 1979 Columbia House ad?

I might pick up the Allman Brothers Band’s Eat a Peach, Elvis Costello’s This Year’s Model, and Tammy Wynette’s Womanhood as a start.

AFTER Putin reportedly shared U.S. weapons positions with Iran? How….odd.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy

A good start to your weekend!

EXCELLENT!!!

Truly a luxury…in any accent.

Hope you can do at least a little something nice for yourself.

Wow. The corruption and self-dealing is boundless — in the billions.

Pizza is here!

President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches At least the specter of corruption in previous presidential administrations (Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich or Biden’s pardon of his son) appeared to be an exception to the rule. Today, however, the ev...

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...

I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed

I might be a little relaxed. :-)

Only one bath so far, but there may be another later.

This complex move, known as the "Humpty Kinsley Gaffe" - when one both tortures the plain meaning of words AND reveals the obvious lie about grandiose policy claims one has absolutely no intention of fulfilling - regularly receives a 9.85 from the East German judge.

Today is a recovery day after hosting job candidates and before student conferences next week.

I have a pizza that’ll be delivered later today. There’s been a bath, some comfort tv, a bath, and reading.

Plus the weather has been pleasant enough to have the doors open.

A portrait of a short eared owl face

All of our wildlife patients this year so far have been owls, but this is our first short-eared.
You can help prevent car strikes like this by obeying rural speed limits and not throwing any litter out of cars. Even organics like apple cores attract rodents to roads, which attracts their hunters. 🪶

Missourians on probation and parole can’t vote. Their rights might be restored The House has approved legislation that would allow the more than 53,000 people supervised by the state to vote.

Wow, a huge bipartisan coalition passed a bill in the Missouri House to allow anyone who is not presently incarcerated to vote.

More than half the states allow this, but Democrats have led this in the last decade. Haven't seen a GOP-led chamber pass this in that time. Big deal.
