I’m trying to imagine how I would feel if someone tried to assassinate me. I’m stuck on a complete inability to imagine anyone caring enough about what I am doing to make an attempt.
If it does happen and I don’t want it to but just in case, could I please have your stash of cans and preserves?
You will need to negotiate with Miss Meow and Mr Woof regarding my estate. I expect they will be happy to exchange them for appropriately yummy treats.
Yeah I think I can handle those moochers.
Same here. I’d rather live an uncontroversial life of plain living and good acts and be missed by only a handful of people than gestures in Trump’s general direction stir up a hornets nest of cultish populism and intolerance and be missed by a gunman.
sometimes it’s not you, it’s what you symbolise/ideology or a position you hold
for example, you might be a famous gay person or someone of a particular faith, or you might be a politician or business leader
We would open the space time fabric and redirect the bullet at the shooter
Bleh. I have obligations today. Do not want
Today was sorting day, since I wanted a clear day to tackle the back room. Didn’t quite get the floor cleared but got a through path and more stuff on the shelves (and crap off the shelves).
Also got on a roll this evening and got the DVDs unpacked and shelved. And found the pyrex, so bonus!Fell asleep to some video of the difference between Quebecois and Parisian French. Felt somewhat better after and made it to airport short term wait area. No hope of any meal prep tonight so I think I’m just gonna have to write off the rest of today and consider a sickie tomorrow if I don’t feel any better. Blurgh. Brain no can use

Should I be worried about the next appearance of the food truck? 🐙
🦑
Um, yes? Would you care to join me in sending healing vibes in the food truck’s direction? I believe its parked just around the corner - any corner. 🚑⚕ I think our beloved chef has been reading a bit too much Verne and/or Poe.
📿 🙏 ☸ 🕉 🌈 Let us pray that we do not end up prey tomorrow. I have a feeling there may be some infiltration by the after eight clientele. If so, the health inspectors may want to know about this…
If necessary, we will include them in the after eight menu, after consulting with our beloved chef.
So Richard Simmons died, but Trump lives??
Make it make sense!!
Wait, what?
Edit: it’s true, and Dr Ruth the day before.
Trump had an assassination attempt on him. Richard Simmons has passed away.
I posit their roles ought to be reversed lol
True. I could see Richard Simmons as President more than I can see Trump as a fitness guru!
Simmons was a good and kind person who did nothing but make people’s lives better. He was one of the first on tv who was inclusive
Trump. Reverse all that.
Truth. He was an inspiration, and did everything he could to help people be healthier. A true loss.
Simmons was very loved.
🎼I want this like a cigarette
Can we drag it out and never quit?
And oh my god, you are heaven sent
With your dirty mind, yeah, you’re perverted
You give me guilty, guilty pleasure 🎶🎶🏳️🌈The kids have a massive flatbed tonka truck I’m constantly flipping on its side so it doesn’t become my Skateboard To Hospital. It makes me feel like those guys they hire in Singapore to tip over open pots of water after it rains so mosquito’s don’t spread
If you wanted to continue the Singapore theme, you should fine your kids in increasing amounts per infraction… $5000 and/or 3 months jail from the third time on.
Maybe I’ll put them to work doing the actual cleaning up like all the old guys in Singapore
The sound of a random toy going off in the middle of the night because it’s low on battery is heart stopping. Thanks furby. Always thought you were possessed.
How is it fair that when I warn the Mrs she’s feeding the kid too much cheese that I’m the one that gets puked on?
Proposal: feed the kiddo cheese and give them back to Mrs Break. :D
I really can’t afford to get sick this week but I kinda hope I am because today was a bit black mindwise and feeling really foggy…managed to catch up with family and that was nice. Glad I pushed to do that.
Ooooh I’ve discovered the world of spicetify and spotify client themes
I mean look at this!
There’s also flashbang mode, if that’s your vibe
One with animates stars
I prefer the last one. The white, middle one is gross af
Agreed. I could barely see what I was clicking. I’m rocking the first one at the moment because I like the vibe, but will probably switch to the animated star one long term.
There’s also an extension that adds better lyrics which sync better to the song with a fullscreen lyrics thing. I like it, but it uses album covers for its theme which clashes a bit awkwardly with the rest of the UI
Ooooo neat as! But yeah that’s a clash oof
now i miss winamp
It’s still around. You can use it if you get your music from ‘other’ sources
It really kicked the lama’s ass.
Good swim, but the afterdrop hitting and I’m trying to cook for 3.
I got this… maybe
Bloody hell, in this weather?
Pick the worst days and jump in :)
Apparently someone tried to assassinate Trump
They keep replaying it over and over on the TV. Disappointingly they miss every single time.
Jeez this isn’t going to end well.
Ah shit… That’s not going to end well
Can I just say “lol”? That’s my first response…
I really don’t approve of violence for political purposes, but I can’t help but feel that the mongrel thoroughly deserves this or something like it. It’s a pity the shot went wild. Apparently the shooter is dead according to the abc.
The real downside is that he’s going to make political hay out of this - it’s a real gimme for motivating his voter base. Maybe even to saint and martyr status.
Depending on how this plays out this could also stir up the public over there in not so good ways.
Trump’s going to ride this out and take it to his advantage sadly, I just hope he doesn’t kick the hornet’s nest with his supporters.
I doubt he’ll be able to stop himself. Too many self aggrandizing jollies on offer.
Unfortunately his son already declared that it was the extreme left that did it so it’s already political sadly.
Shame they missed even if I don’t condone it.
If the shot had struck home, he WOULD be a martyr. This is better
Yeah but there would be no one equivalent to replace him, so the traditionalist republicans might have a chance at regaining the party back from MAGAs.
Was it staged? That pose at the end 🤢
No.
It’s very, very hard to aim precisely enough to hit someone’s ear but not the rest of their head. That’s an absurdly precise shot to attempt deliberately.
It can’t be a BB gun or something either. They lose velocity really quickly over any sort of distance, so his ear wouldn’t go to pieces like that with a BB pellet.
Real gun, real attempt.
I sadly think that just secured a MAGA victory. When I saw the photo of a triumphant Trump leaving the stage whilst fist pumping and bleeding, I thought OMG this is going to send MAGA supporters even deeper into blind frenzy hero worship. Project 2025 here we go.
😭😭😭
If only there were a baby near by this could have been a Dead Zone moment when Trump’s evil would be displayed for all to see.
https://youtu.be/Aa-3up4-xNk?si=D43e6kYdiZtTSASs start at 3.15
I’m afraid you’re right.
Also, that blood looked too red for blood that wasn’t spurting.
Trump’s wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift.
I am not joking but he really is evil
and got his ear…
Wow. Shit. Never thought I’d see that
Please please let him die. What a horrible thing to say but man I can’t see this all ending well if he lives.
No. If he dies, it’s war immediately
I doubt it. He’s a leader of a cult, not Martyr. they know what happened to to folks on Jan 6th, and they know if he’s dead he can’t save them.
It’s all well and good to say you’re prepared to die for him, but actually doing it (especially once he is already dead) is another thing entirely.
so tired so i’m heating up frozen stuff for dinner.
I feel like Mlem isn’t showing all my comment history.
That’s correct, it only shows the first page at the moment. In the next Mlem update it’ll load infinitely.
Are you a melbournian too, or do you have an alert or something set up for when people mention mlem? Not judging, just curious
Very likely the latter.
Yeah, I’ve got an alert set up. I’m from the UK :)
Oh, thanks!
