'Shut up', he explained. -- Ring Lardner

"We fight our battles with the army we have; not the army we want."
From an essay by Chloe Nazra Lee, M.D, M.P.H.:
"If sexually abusing a minor weren't enough for society -- including physicians -- to shun Epstein, should it be surprising that a man with a history of demeaning women and a sexual abuse conviction was elevated to the presidency?"

Frankly, I'm so Professional Sports ignorant and uninterested, that what the Super Bowl means to me is that it's a great day to go to bookstores, malls, and the beach.
Not proud of that, but that's how it is.

Look... I admit I am a fashion idiot.
But.
If a woman wore a skirt as tight as the shirts #JeffBezos wears, men would say "She's asking for it."

In strictly heteronormative terms, there has never been a less manly president than #Trump.
He is every criticism typically applied to women by misogynist men: vain, pouty, irrational, selfish, preening, needy, superficial, vapid, gossipy, mewling, whiny, untruthful, promiscuous.

A coworker and I got into a disagreement about the word "Flabbergasted".

I am NOT going to review the actual etymology, and I prefer that you don't look it up, either.

I took the reasonable position that my flabbers get gasted, whereas he held that his gasts were flabbered.
What say you?

If my name were "Grace", my entire social media presence would center on calling myself "Amusing Grace", and my Substack and blogs would be named "Amusing Grace, How Sweet the Sound".*

*Grace, if you're out there already doing this, let me know.

I'm just guessing, but maybe #Bezos turning the once-superb #WashingtonPost into a piece of shit is motivated by Bezos wanting it to be more like himself.
