My dog hates going to the groomer. I bought little scissors so I could just trim the hair by his eyes so he could see. He moved. Now he looks like an emo high schooler in 2000. Nailed it.

You know what, this is super helpful. ‘Rein’ always gets me; I can never remember which one is the right one.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

So when can we as the American people dissent against this shit? I know we can “call our reps” but this requires more attention. Ukraine has shown us the future of warfare is in drones. So why are we still doing bloated sweetheart deals like this? It’s our tax money. Wtf.

I’m so sick of America as a country. Everything is so difficult for average people. It doesn’t have to be. We’re the richest country in the world and even still we only care about our citizens that have money. Wealth equals worth. The rest of us get to get fucked and stay fucked. I hate it here.

GM sees its earnings go nuts for Q3. The sales overall are down (our trucks have been down YOY for three quarters in a row now). And they’ve announced a $20b buyback. No, corporations don’t have a greed problem at all. This is America baby; nothing to see here.

I know we have a lot of things to be pissed about right now. I’m embarrassed to say “how the GOP says The Democrat Party” is higher on my list than it probably should be. So. Much. Rage. It’s either *the Democrats” or “the Democratic Party”. Get your shit together.

How is this reality right now? This is ridiculous. And he still has his lackeys saying he’s the smartest most bestest president in the history of ever. What the fuck?

I know Sedgewick probably isn’t the worst company out there for processing sickness/injury claims but they are really giving me the impression that they’re trying to secure that title.

Good. These justices deserve no peace. I hope they’re faced with protesters wherever they go for the rest of their lives. Actions have consequences; they should *feel* that.

Another disappointing doctor’s appointment today. I swear to god I would pay all the money to a doctor that took women seriously. There has to be a few that exist, right? I’ve never seen one in the wild but surely someone has.

Happy for the Jets fans - it’s been an exciting game. But as a Lions fan, I still hope the Jets fuck it up.* *in fairness, the Lions have some work to do because we are not looking together here

With prices being higher and back to school shopping hitting in August, I know I spent a shitload of money for my family. Not sure it speaks to the health of the economy though. These were necessities. We’ve clamped down on non-essential purchases and I’m sure a lot of other families have too.

Oh, you wanna buy a big bad giant pick-up truck? You should have to pass a road test in one first. If you can’t drive a giant fucking truck you have no business buying a giant fucking truck. 

We know FB’s algorithm is fucked. Today, it outdid itself though. I posted something about my 13yo son’s first football game of the season. FB then thought that I would like to see was an article about a 13yo that collapsed and died during football practice. Umm, what the actual fuck? For real.

I wish life would stop fucking me so I could have a minute to do something other than surviving. I look at other adults with hobbies and a social life and just think “how?”.

Oh look! Another job creator doing their best to respect our laws and regulations, take care of their employees, and value our environment. Just kidding. It’s America. We don’t do that here.

I am finally catching up on Shrinking. I fucking love this show. It’s feels real in a way that I can really appreciate. It gets me right in the feels. Every. Single. Episode.

How the fuck are we still talking about tariffs? After a year plus of “will they or won’t they” SCOTUS shot down Trump’s Liberation Day ridiculousness. So why are we still talking tariffs? It’s a fucking doom loop.

“Unfair competition”? Okay so what is deemed fair competition? Because if the government entering the market and offering products at a reasonable price threatens your business, then how “fairly” are you running your business? Maybe you’re chasing profit margins that are unrealistic? Idk

But why are people so upset with the “establishment Dems”? This shit. This shit right here. Jeffries is gonna have to go - Schumer too. Read the fucking room guys.

brent 🌹🗽@therealbrent.bsky.social

I really do not understand the purpose of this. No one is asking for this.

How can Johnson and the Republicans say this shit with a straight face? “Keep lowering costs”? Nope. Shit is more expensive than ever. Keep us from the perils of “communism”? Nope. Trump has taken shares of private business and just announced price controls. That’s actual communism.

Human☮@4humanunity.bsky.social

Are you kidding me right now? "Keep more of their money"? The tax cuts you passed are permanent for the wealthy, top rate dropped forever, while "no tax on tips" and "no tax on overtime" for workers is just a tiny bone and expire in 2028. ...

Good. Trump wants to fuck around. Canada needs to let them find out. I love our neighbors to the North. Give ‘em hell guys. The people in the U.S. are backing you 👍🏻

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

BREAKING: Canadian PM Mark Carney suspends all trade negotiations with the U.S. after “unfair, uneconomic” last-minute changes to the deal. At midnight the U.S. will implement a 50% tariff on ~$28 billion of Canadian goods, and now, Canada will match it dollar-for-dollar.

After reading about Amazon drone delivery mishaps, I can’t help but wonder if this is worth it. We have all this tech and we’re using it to deliver bullshit Amazon stuff? All in Amazon’s quest to have as few actual employees as possible? Our priorities are fucked guys.

I hope Chief Justice Roberts is having a terrible day. After the decisions his court has rendered in the Trump era, he deserves nothing but terrible days.

Man fuck this rich asshole. Maybe you should’ve done some due diligence and found out if attempting to buy *another* media co. would raise the antitrust flags. Aren’t you richer than some countries too? Why should taxpayers cover this? Maybe trying to buy all of the media companies was a bad idea.

Any other moms feel like they’re role is to simply facilitate everyone else’s happiness? Because I fucking do today. I love how everyone else is doing what they *want* to do on a Saturday and I’m just cleaning, cooking, cutting the grass, and laundry. 0 out of 4 stars.

“What’s new?” Sir, you are an adult. You have free will. No one forced you to vote “yes”. You made that choice - just like you did for all of Trump’s other candidates. You just love the taste of that mf’er’s boots. Gross.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Cassidy: "I will vote for Mr Blanche. I will be criticized for this vote. What's new?"

This makes no sense. How does bad economic data hit and stocks go up? Slow growth? Stocks at a record high! Job losses? The market rallies. None of this makes a bit of sense.

Of course there’s another appeal. When is the Supreme Court gonna tell him that’s they’re not his personal court? I know it’s hard to tell, but he keeps make everything he “needs” an emergency. This ballroom is important to only him; the rest of us are still pissed that he razed the East Wing.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

BREAKING: A federal appeals court has ruled that Trump’s proposed White House ballroom cannot be built without congressional approval, affirming an injunction blocking construction. The ruling is stayed for 14 days to allow an appeal to the Supreme Court.

So the Democratic voters have clearly made their opinions known; we need Dem candidates supporting/promoting change. In response, the “centrist”, establishment members of the party plan to go to mattresses. Why fight amongst Dems when you could just accept that the electorate has changed and adjust?

Me and my husband, both class of 2001, are taking the tweens/teens back to school shopping today. Fashion really is on a 20-25 year cycle. I’ve never felt older; lower me into the ground already.

I just checked the stocks app for funsies and I’m even more sure that I understand nothing. The top article is like “stocks get a boost on Trump’s announcement of Iran talks and oil prices going down”. But then I open my news app and the top article is “Iran denies Trump’s claims”. And stocks go UP?

So the first set of tariffs was deemed unconstitutional and stricken. It took the Supreme Court forever to decide on that. So now he’s putting tariffs in place again - also for bullshit reasons. So are we gonna need to wait for the lawsuits to come in and another 8 months for another decision?

Eww please don’t. I mean, if it’ll give his candidates the kiss of death like everything else Trump touches, by all means, come on down. I love a good curse.

Omg I decided to watch Dying of Sex on Hulu. It is such a great show. So many tears but so much laughter too. I’m a mess now but I’m not mad about it.

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."
