YOU CAN REPOST IT AS COMMENT in the DIARY

WHEN YOU FIND SOMETHING in the DIARY that you LIKE

EVERY PERSON WHO COMMENTS WILL GET A CRITTER

THE PERSON who MAKES the FIRST COMMENT WILL GET TWO CRITTERS

(Or NOT As the CASE MAY BE)

YOU WILL FIND in the DIARIES a LOT of POLITICS

A Timely reminder: This Saturday, CNN will broadcast a live production of George Clooney in Good Night and Good Luck. Check your local listings.

What We Know About Musk's Ketamine Use. www.yahoo.com/…

Elon Musk said in a March 2024 interview that he takes ketamine to treat depression. He claimed to have a doctor's prescription for the drug. ===

Yup.

===

Just a reminder.

x Every place you see steel and aluminum is something that will go up in price from Trump’s new tariffs. Like soup cans.

x I guess making a big, showy, spectacle of praying in public is just one more way Speaker Mike Johnson has of thumbing his nose at Jesus.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Trouble in MAGAdice Paradise?

x Trump trashed Thomas Massie on Truth Social after he opposed his budget bill. Trump trashed Rand Paul on Truth Social after he opposed his budget bill. Elon Musk just opposed his budget bill. — Ron Filipkowski (@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social) June 3, 2025 at 10:52 AM

So then there's this "update(?)"

x So now I imagine we'll see elected republicans choosing sides between Musk and Trump - and I hope this splits the GOP right down the middle come 2026. LET THEM FIGHT!

So now, Skum is a...Democrat? Which side will the spineless cingresscritters choose. Stick with the Dear Leader or follow the sweet, sweet campaign cash?

Now it's beginning to make sense:

===

Meanwhile Empty Greene is having a sad.

Rep. Swalwell calls her out, brilliantly.

===

Speaking of "Check your local listings," I'm sure this is streaming somewhere:

x This... does not feel like an accident. Ali Abbasi's Trump biopic "The Apprentice" won best movie at the Canadian Screen Awards in Toronto last night. "Ali, I told you, you have to come to Canada if you want to find some guts in this industry." www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

These next few stories are really hard to read or watch. I ask that you do it anyway.

x The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

I mentioned this late last night - the opening segment of last night’s Rachel Maddow Show. It's about ten minutes and truly gut-wrenching.

x After three months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, a Filipino green-card holder who had been arrested at Seattle-Tacoma Airport has finally gone home.

x Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

x wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

Mayor Ras Baraka fights back.

x BREAKING: Mayor Ras Baraka has filed a lawsuit for unspecified damages against Alina Habba and Ricky Patel for FALSE ARREST and MALICIOUS PROSECUTION www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I guess Ratcliffe was jealous of those other Cabinet heads getting facetime on FOQS.

===

In other political theater, watch Josh Hawley get his a$$ handed to him by Kate Shaw, a Constitutional Law Scholar at UPenn.

x What a telling exchange here. Scholar @kateshaw.bsky.social with the analytics and the scholarship just bursting a hole in these political theatrics. Watch the staffer's reaction.

Meanwhile, about that Sofa King military fiasco parade. Army says Trump's military parade could cause $16 million in damage to Washington streets. www.nbcnews.com/…

The cost to repair Washington, D.C., streets after the upcoming military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials. That’s part of an estimated $45 million total cost for the June 14 military parade, which coincides with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday. The cost estimates have fluctuated as planning continues. In an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” earlier this month, the president defended the cost of the parade, calling it “peanuts compared to the value of doing it.”

Talk about waste, fraud and abuse.

===

x All the people complaining about Pride parades, parades they don't pay a penny for, are predictably silent about the US's Most Costly Parade Celebrating Pride (Donald Trump's), which they *will* be paying for.

Mrs. Betty nails it about all this being for FIDJT'S Pride.

===

Pete Hegseth is a Fecking As Shat.

x "The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional." Fuck right off, Pete. We don't need your ship to honor Harvey.

Poor wRONg must be feeling irrelevant again.

x Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.

===

These made me smile.

x Ukraine's wildly successful drone attack on Russia was an intricate plan that probably took a year to arrange. That means when Trump berated Zelensky four months ago for not having the cards, Zelensky knew he had the cards. But, unlike Trump, he's smart enough to know when to keep quiet.

Evening Shade Seekers! Happy Chimborazo Day!

Chimborazo Day is celebrated on June 3 every year. Although it isn’t the tallest peak on the planet, Chimborazo mountain holds the distinction of being the highest point on Earth. It is an inactive stratovolcano in the Cordillera Occidental range of the Andes in Ecuador. The mountain is measured at an elevation of 20,000 feet, which makes it the highest mountain in Ecuador. The Chimborazo is also a top destination for mountaineers. On this day, revelers gather together to celebrate the farthest point from the Earth’s center and the spirit of mountaineering.

Happy European Bicycle Day!

Happy National Egg Day!

Happy National Love Conquers All Day! (Long)

Love Conquers All Day is celebrated on June 3 every year as a day to cherish our loved ones. No matter how tough life gets, the sailing becomes smoother with our loved ones at our side. It is a day to express gratitude and love to those who matter and recognize love as an emotion that makes the world go around. A day of joy and warmth, you can celebrate it with your friends, family, partners, pets, or anyone whom you love and cherish!

AND Happy Chocolate Macaroon Day (Chocolate is a no no for critters, but pumpkin is okay)
