Taco Friday! Yum yum
9:22 a.m. Friday morning. Liberty and Mathilda, big black pickup, a work truck, sweet and sour smell of marijuana trailing from rolled-down windows. 90 decibels-plus: “Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm … Once there was this girl who—wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room..”

“If Trump is a guy holding a smoking gun and standing next to a bullet-riddled body on Fifth Avenue, then Booker is the cop saying, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa — before I do anything, I want to hear your side of the story.””
If the Democrats were able to convey any messages last night, they began with "what the hell are we even doing here" and ended with "nothing."

The Democrats had a chance to do something bold last night. Almost all of them blew it.

USA = “finally being run like a business”
delegitimized social security, NIH, HUD, etc. = asset allocation
massive tax cuts (funded by layoffs & tariffs) = happy investors
furloughed workers, measle-stricken & cold, amble around malls, looking for jobs at KB toys = expanded margins

if the dems really want to win (a big if) -- they should take that $220 million in campaign funds that Biden spoke about last night and sink it into a reality tv show called "sorcerer's apprentice." hosted by joe & kamala. The goal? joe helps kamala choose the next vp ... shenangigans ensue!

Fred Neil - Dolphins (HQ)
*lyrics* This old world may never change The way it's been And all the ways of war Can't change it back again I've been searchin' For the dolphins in the sea And sometimes I wonder Do you ever think of me I'm not the one to tell this world How to get along I only know the peace will come When all hate is gone I've been searchin' For the dolphins in the sea And sometimes I wonder Do you ever think of me You know sometimes I think about Saturday's child And all about the time When we were running wild I've been searchin' For the dolphins in the sea And sometimes I wonder Do you ever think of me This old world may never change This world may never change This world may never change

in the checkout line at aldi, i saw a baby toddler with mascara and earrings and makeup etc.
but.
the parents were real shlubs. sweats, tees, stains. I think a demon baby is holding them hostage
