Since #Musk says the "destiny of humanity" has been destroyed by one judicial election in WI (btw, lol to that you hyperbolic, drug-addled jackass), here's hoping he will retreat from society to wait for our inevitable downfall. Go now, beat the rush!

okay if you were a toddler, and you saw a box of sterile wound dressings on the kitchen table that mummy and daddy insisted were NOT fire starters and would not let you put in the woodburner

The new Amtrak hall at Penn Station is pretty nice. It needs about 200 more seats in the waiting area, but at least it looks good.

Seems to me a lot of what Apartheid Clyde and his minions are doing at Treasury could be put in front of a Federal Judge for at least a temporary injunction. But, wtf do I know? I'm not an 80+ yr old member of Dem leadership.

Can someone pick me up? I'm due at a nice farm upstate. I'll be able to run and play and see all my friends! (Yes, a bit dark, but I am so fucking tired of being sick.)

This is the 6th time I've ever been sick since early Sept. It's getting really old and honestly, starting to worry me a bit.

In Oakland for work. Cali still has that golden light, that exotic appeal to a kid from PA. I want to go to a show at Gilman, watch the sun set over the Bay, buy books at City Lights.
