There's a moving truck in the tiny alley outside my tiny home..loud people, racket...I decided it needed an appropriate soundtrack...and I turned it up loud enough that I can't hear them at all.

You know what is worse than two birds somehow getting into my house and setting off the alarm while I am at work, necessitating chasing the stupid fucking things out a window? Waking up the next morning to find two more fucking birds that have to be chased out. How are these feathered assholes getting into my house?

My cat was disappointed when I covered it over. He likes some excitement.

A big bird got into my house when I was out. Couldn't figure out how. Turns out he had a TurKEY. 🦃

That reminds me that I started one of my XTC pun lists based around birds a long time ago and never finished it. I'll have to see if it still exists.

Yeah, but our sabre-rattling isn't helping.

WASHINGTON — The National Archives confirmed on Friday that it had found classified information among documents that President Donald J. Trump had taken with him to his home in Florida from the White House and that it had consulted with the Justice Department about the matter.
The agency “has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes,” according to a letter posted on the National Archives and Record Administration website that was sent to Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, Democrat of New York and the chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee, who has been scrutinizing how Mr. Trump handled presidential records.
“Because NARA identified classified information in the boxes, NARA staff has been in communication with the Department of Justice,” said the letter, written by David S. Ferriero, the national archivist.
In the past two weeks, a series of disclosures has raised new questions about whether Mr. Trump followed federal record-keeping laws or mishandled classified information after he left office. The National Archives said in its letter on Friday that the Trump White House had failed to turn over records that included “certain social media records.”
Mr. Ferriero also wrote that “some White House staff conducted official business using nonofficial electronic messaging accounts that were not copied or forwarded into their official electronic messaging accounts.” The archives said it was in the process of obtaining some of those records.
The disclosure that Mr. Trump had classified information among the documents he took with him from the White House has prompted assertions from Democrats of hypocrisy. Mr. Trump made attacking Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of national security materials a centerpiece of his 2016 presidential campaign.

Joe got voted in on a no more war ticket. Everyday I turned the news on for the last two weeks he said, they will invade tomorrow. I'm sure he said today, they will invade yesterday. Dog help us.

Dog help us. 5 mins ago, BBC. President Joe Biden said that he is “convinced” that Vladimir Putin has “made the decision” to invade Ukraine, an invasion that might come in the next days, based on US intelligence.

That's not Joe doing the invading. It's conflating two completely inequivalent things. Being the aggressor and invading vs trying to minimize conflict and pulling out troops. Major difference.
And I see the point in calling Putin/Russia out diminishing their typically counted on element of surprise before people move their ass in gear to say or do anything. Joe should not be silent. Calling out agressive action as agressive and getting a wake up or siren call instead sooner than what happened last time in Ukraine at least may help. I do not see it encouraging Putin to be more agressive. He either is or isn't and purely on his own without giving a damn what others think unless it hurts him and gives him a royal PITA which is clearly what Joe is trying to broadcast to dissuade him. Seems pretty reasonable considering unlike Putin he isn't in a country he can take and or make unilateral decisions.
