Morning Coffee Roundup

 Things found while having my morning coffee...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where... oh where... have I heard MAHA before...?

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday Morning Sip

 ...and on that, we bid the Merry Month of May a fond adieu.

 

 

 Perhaps try it without the hat...

 

Or try this hat...it's a better slogan.

 

 

How about a chant?

  

"LET'S GO TACO!!"

Kinda catchy. 

 

 

Never an asteroid when you need one...

 

When driving through Trump Country here in New England (yes, we have that in New England),

when I see the banners flying off porches, the middle finger salutes.

I don't want to say there there is a LOT, but I thought I sprained my finger last week.

 

 

 

Lessons lost on the old...

 

Ah-yup...

 

Always!

 

Thank you, Infidel, for that one! Spot on! 

 

Ah, youth...

 

 

Ooooo!  The INTERNET!  Let's see what we can see!

 

Ah-yup.  About sums it up.

 

I see a dancing martini shaker in my future.

 

And I leave you this morning with... detente. 

 

The duo sharing a bowl of fresh kibble.

Without trying to kill each other. 

We have proof! 

What could tomorrow be...?  Oh, Fairy Godmother, I summon you to guide us into June! 

 

                                                         Wait... wait!  Wait!  I... think I see it!!!! 

 Something is materializing!

Free Climbing  

 

 

American rock climber Chris Sharma in a photo for the 2013 ESPN body issue.  His pose looks impossibly perilous, but other photos showed that he was less than 10 feet above the ground.  Chris does much higher climbs, but he ensures his safety by using ropes or climbing above water (like an oceanside cliff) where a fall would not be fatal.

I'm glad that ESPN explained the photo.  I was wondering where he kept his ID should he land on the rocks...

 Things found while awaiting my first sip of the morning....

Well!  Fuck-a-doodle-do!  Wouldja look at that!

 

Keith Olbermann on Trump and Tariffs

Your Daily Meme - Memorial Day Edition

I am having a difficult time contemplating America without a sense of sadness for those who fought in global conflicts to preserve our way of life and to promote stability around the world.  My father and his siblings often come to mind.  Just... sadness.  These months have offered horrific attacks on our democracy by enemies from within; based on bigotry, ignorance, greed and revenge; and more or less a sense of complacency and apathy by those able to stop it. 

I do not know what the solution is? The only thing I can think of is to take care of those around us.  Try and instill some sense of hope - even if it feels difficult.  Try and show kindness to strangers.  

O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

May you find kindness in return. Assurance of a future; if not in mankind, solace in nature and our surroundings. 

 

Meditate.  Ruminate.  Breathe.

 
Happy Memorial Day.

Hypocrit.

Today in "Fucking Whack-job Christians"... 

After a week of figuring out ways to plunder remaining social services and to cut funding to the essential support of programs like Medicaid that disproportionately impacts the disadvantaged, children and elderly, Speaker Mike Johnson poses in front of his 'Place for Prayer'.  

Fuck him.  Fuck Christians who adore him.

And like any good Christian church, it's has security protecting it.

“This is like a cathedral at night,” he said, walking toward an almost-hidden door. “It’s the most beautiful thing in the Capitol.” He punched in the key code and stepped inside.

 

Sunday Morning Sip

Good morning, all!  

 Sunday Morning Pope Collection...

 

 

Rhode Island beaches are officially open! 

 Calamari is our official State seafood, btw...

 

...all I want is a morning without bullshit.

Thank you, Gary Trudeau

For Whkattk

 

 

Ah-yup...

I begun to just cut to the chase - when someone gives me that "Whatever" or worse, "Whateves" response, I just tell them to go fuck off.  If you can't be bothered to actively listen, then I am not going to be bothered to be civil. Just fuck off.    

 

Love bunnies.

I'm looking at you and your brain worm, RFK Jr.

I leave you this morning with tree peony blooms from our yard!  

 

So... question... do you pronounce it, 

 Pee-oh-knee, 

 Pay-on-knee

 or Peenie?

 

 

He has a very large peony.
