Well. I guess that I’ve reached the age where I don’t hate Steely Dan anymore. Let’s not go crazy… I don’t *like* Steely Dan either. I’m just saying that now when I hear it, I don’t feel the rage of 1,000 suns.

I LOVE making these bubble mugs - they are chaotic but sorta fun and they always turn out great.
And I’m very sorry if you have trypophobia.

When Trump said to Zelenskyy, “you’re gambling with WWIII.”, he was projecting. Trump and Putin are the gamblers, and Europe is smart enough to see it.

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke.
