Remember that every time the executive ordure claims a win, that usually means he lost. Take that to bed for comfort.

Haruki Murakami being PZ4 and Italo Calvino being PZ3 (or the reverse: can’t remember right now) is why I hate the Library of Congress classification system.

I just want to state, for the record, that I think we have two worse transformers in our house. They both transform into different-shaped boulders. And they aren’t even convincing-looking boulders.

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

I feel like the insult-to-injury aspect of having cheetoh-Mussolini back in power is that every single article about anything his administration does is accompanied by a photograph of his smug vapid mug. Not that this wasn’t an issue before, but ugh.

Nice to be reminded by Michelle Obama, that just because something’s on, doesn’t mean you have to watch it.
