if writing your book takes 12 years rather than the five or six you budgeted, so be it. suck it up and get the job done. and when the publisher says, "We don't publish books longer than 600 pages," you just bloody well shrink the font.

No single person can be surprised by the bald-faced lies this president has told about his ballroom. The cost started at $200 million. Then $215 million. Now $250 million. Actual? $500-600 million? Our next president must scrape it away, rebuild the East Wing & fully restore the Rose Garden.

Mandarin Chocolate Sherbet was what Baskin Robbins called it waaaaay back when they first went national. Decades before there was "sorbet."
Best flavor they ever had. Ever!
But for some unforgivable reason, they ceased selling it. Why? Maybe it was too upscale?

Sorry. Gotta say it. Threads & Bluesky just don't have the buzz, the energy or the compelling draw that Twitter had. Have no idea what X is all about, but it may have elements.
Why don't they ever resonate?
I really miss whatever it is that Threads & Bluesky just don't even come close to . . .

2 of 2 After the January '27 inauguration, we can begin the two to three generations of work that required to neutralize the trauma inflicted on our democracy – and the planet – by the scourge our dictator has become. We are in worse shape now than in 1866.

Marilyn Monroe owned one home during her lifetime. She bought the Spanish-style hacienda at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive in Brentwood, thought to have been built in 1929, for $75,000 in early 1962. She named her home “Cursum Perficio,” which in Latin translates as “I end the journey.”

RFK, Jr. is just another of the existential dangers trump has foisted upon this nation. Like many of the others, he is hiding behind a title, Secretary, that George Washington created. The only difference between Kennedy and the others is that the deaths he causes have begun and will escalate.
