Lately, when I copy & paste info in a document, I feel the need to reuse some of the letters or numbers. So if I paste 1073, & the new number is 6743, I’ll delete the 10 from the first number & reuse the 7 & 3. Does anyone else do this? Is it recycling? OCD? Autism? Imminent stroke? God help me…

The next time anyone calls for impeaching any of these assholes in the Trump cabinet, my head is going to pop off. They already impeached the fucko once. These people do not need reproachments or a blemish on their records— they need jail, or worse.

They say that money is the root of all evil, but what they don’t tell you is that an exponentially smaller amount of money is the square root of all evil.

I’d like to have this one back. Maybe not record it with crap mics into a crap digital eight track. Whatever. I dunno. What I do know is that Kurt Hagardorn’s solo cannot be bettered.
It’s almost 30 years old now. I guess I’ll get over it in a few more.

My spiritual healer said I shouldn’t speak negatively about myself, even as a joke, because my body doesn’t know the difference, but that’s probably because my body is really fucking stupid.

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

It’s not enough to say Abolish ICE. It’s not enough to vote no on ICE funding. It’s not enough to confront Kristi Noem or Greg Bovino with Stern Words.
If you are a leader, what are you doing to protect your community? How are you using your power, privilege, and position to confront this threat?

Our city has been over-run by Nazi ghouls kidnapping people to traffic them to concentration camps and other countries.
Did you ever think you'd see the day when masked gunmen jump out of moving vehicles and chase families down the street in your own neighborhood?
FUCK ICE forever and ever.

Why is everyone acting like this Davos speech is the first time he’s shown that he’s an insane idiot? “Surely now he’ll be removed from office!” No. He’s not going anywhere, not without the help of some heroes.

I call on my fellow artists and musicians to denounce this horrible act of imperialist aggression. Protest with your voice and your money. Support Canadian art and goods. And prepare for the worst until it isn’t.

I didn’t think I could love a film more than Casablanca, or The Third Man, but Hamnet is the best movie I’ve ever seen. I’m emotionally spent. Brilliant at every level. Reverential of motherhood, womanhood, parenthood, The Bard, but ultimately of the power of art. Jessie Buckley, my god…

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.
