You're kidnapped. The characters from the last show you watched are coming to rescue you.

.... oh, dear ....

2010.
Mejicanos, San Salvador, El Salvador

Members of Barrio 18 set fire to two buses with people inside and then shot the one who were able to escape the blaze.

These are the kind of demons who are now in CECOT and don't ever let anybody ever tell you any differently.

The capybara rocks!
November 21, 2025 at 5:23 PM
BTW ... I mentioned the movie to you because the best character (apart from the cat) is a capybara
November 21, 2025 at 5:22 PM
Speaking of Capybaras ... did you see the movie Flow?

The Missus and I LOVE that movie!! Oh so good!
November 21, 2025 at 2:24 PM
The Missus sent me an IG video where a lady claims she and her husband are flying to Italy in first class for only $300 for both of them.

She asked, "Why can't you find tickets like that?"

I replied, "Because they don't exist and that lady is a fkn liar"

FWIW when I was thinking of tile, I was remembering the time the Missus and I toured the newly renovated Palacio Nacional in San Salvador.

I was imagining her in the dress she wore for our daughter's wedding (a beautiful hunter green!)

Mosaic
Frost
Enchanting

Tile floor a collage of cutpiece and angular curvatures
staccato tiles and kaleidoscope colors,
chill wind blankets me from the open window
as your magic billows from underneath you
you opening and drawing forth
and pulling in
like an incantation
fire

ice

of all the things I don't give a shit about, this is pretty high up there

SERIOUSLY, WHAT DOES IT MATTER TO ANYONE what a 20yo boy who was raised in complete opulence, far away from any want, any need, any lack, says to an 80+yo man who has spent a lifetime in public service and been through loss

2nd paragraph - utter horseshit

Eff the Wall Street economists: when you do not have data about economic conditions, you simply do not KNOW how economic conditions are.

The economy is flying blind, and when you fly blind, you usually fly the plane right into the side of a mountain

My hot take is that "The Final Cut" is a damn fine Pink Floyd album and screw the haters.

That Joyce Carol Oates dig really got to him
November 14, 2025 at 5:06 PM
Even though there are many many other horrors to be focused on, I have to say that making the White House look like a cheap sleazy-ass casino that's nothing more than a money-laundering brothel is just a TAD BIT too far.

God, the tackiness of it all

Trying to parse this here ...

is he really trying to say that a SCOTUS decision not in his favor would be something he could use the military to combat?

He's calling it a "National Security Event"

Somebody please explain this to me...
