I used to find Nicole Kidman alluring and sexy. Then she gave her face (specially her upper lip and thereabouts) to surgeons and Botox. Now I can’t watch her (trying to) act without thinking of kabuki masks. Sad waste of beauty in the pursuit of youth… sigh

I feel you… got a similar syndrome; mine is because my head is full up with my brain, which in turn is full of holes. The difference is just a few decades…
Writer brain means sometimes I can never remember where I put anything in real life because my head's full up with plots and characters.

I think the NYT will run a piece titled “Harris admits on the debate that she has no ideas”.
Debate prediction:
At some point when Trump rambles incoherently Harris will say "I have no idea what he just said. I don't think he does either."
Reporters will say "Oo, I remember that, from Trump's debate with Biden!" They will write it up as a key moment.

With this strike on a Rafah tent camp, Israel says they killed Hamas commanders taking advantage of the safe zone.
Good chance that's true, and it doesn't matter. Tell civilians "evacuate here, it's safe," it's off-limits.
Even worse that they used airstrikes instead of a focused raid.
Deeply wrong.

the Kent State massacre was metabolized as a tragedy in history books, but it was cheered by reactionaries at the time. the fantasy of delivering violence to naive young liberals is foundational to the modern right. they never learned the lesson of Kent State because they never stopped supporting it

"The goats will also enhance the biodiversity of Killiney Hill"
How on earth can an invasive, non-native species that strips out all native vegetation possibly 'enhance' biodiversity???
The solution to fires is to allow natural non-flammable habitats return. Goats prevent that.

Strange to drive *one hour* from LA to Orange County and cross SIX Elon-trucks, moronic drivers basking on the attention, so shiny and visible, so LA. Then started counting homeless tents. So many, so scrubby, so invisible. So LA, so Kalifornia, so Amurikan 🤮
