I finally repotted my orchid. It was very root bound - I couldn't believe how much plant came out of the small pot that it was in.

It's now in a hanging pot that I knitted from hemp twine.

The goons that ICE hires aren't bright enough to distinguish between legal and illegal. They recently tried to arrest Elaine Miles, who played Marilyn on Northern Exposure. She isn't the only indigenous person that they've tried this with.

He once mocked a reporter with cerebral palsy. That alone should have been the end of him as a candidate, but somehow his followers were just fine with that. So they're probably just fine with him being abusive to women.

It's pretty well known that he raped Ivana during his first marriage and that he has publicly talked about both his daughters in crude sexual terms. So yeah, he was and probably still is a monster at home.

Holy crap. The fascism is happening even faster than I imagined.

The people criticizing Carney for not arguing with Trump have obviously never had the experience of arguing with a dementia ridden relative.

I don't think they've ever run out quite this quickly before.

When Paul Pelosi was attacked, the MAGAts jeered and made up stupid lies about the attacker being his gay lover. An 80+ year old man attacked in his own home by a right wing nutter and they thought it was funny.

Now they are crying like little babies because TinyFace got shot and sane people are pointing out that he was quite okay with people being shot to protect the second amendment.

I used to live at 3300 feet. Cooking times increased slightly over what most recipes recommended, sometimes more baking powder was needed, but I don't remember having to add more water.

The "good businessman" part is especially baffling.

No, it won't.

I feel sorry for the Americans who didn't vote for him, but it's just too risky to visit the USA any more.

At one time a 2 x 4 really was 2" x 4". Very old houses will have these in the walls, not planed and quite rough and splintery. I think I still have splinters from the 1913 bungalow I renovated more than 30 years ago.

Oh no, our Prime Minister can't join their sooper sekret club! No girls allowed either! It's their treehouse and you can't come in. /s

*In July, the village office closed its doors to the public outside pre-arranged appointments, citing harassment and intimidation toward staff.

The owner of the property and one of Didulo's followers Rick Manz was charged with assault, resisting arrest and uttering threats.>*

I bet the residents of the village are relieved to see the last of her. Hopefully her cult members will start to disperse soon.

Canada here. Still avoiding American produce in the grocery store if possible. I've missed citrus fruit, but some Moroccan oranges showed up last week. Mexico is our main supplier these days.

Eh, I have known some women who are pretty obsessed with being queen bees. Hierarchy isn't just a male thing.

Are viscous criminals a bit thick?

This is in central Saskatchewan. Presumably those southwest roofs are flat - this isn't.

Duct tape was a running joke on the Red Green show, which ran from 1991 to 2006.

Just like Covid cases! If you stop testing for it, then it magically disappears!
