Damnatio Memoriae is the Latin term for the ancient Egyptian practice of erasing bad Pharaohs from history by removing noses from their statues (to suffocate their soul) and by filing away their cartouches so their name is forgotten. I hear this practice is about to enjoy a modern revival.

Sad ending, today, for the historic White House Family Theatre (which wasn't named The Roosevelt Theatre solely because FDR wasn't a narcissistic lunatic <-- a fact that should be added to its Wiki.)

If I understand correctly, if he pardons her, once the pardon is delivered and accepted, she can publicly implicate him and there's not jack sh*t he can do about it. The pardon would stand. He would fall. I wonder if he'll factor that into his decision.

Marvel superhero toys, clothes and other merch, Star Wars toys, clothes and other merch, Disney princesses toys, clothes and other merch... these made up the bulk of my planned 2025 Christmas shopping list for the grandkids... making a new list that doesn't include any of those things.

Since when does the govt decide how many toys or pencils our kids can have? Since when is any freedom loving American OK w letting the govt decide how many toys or pencils our kids can have? What's next, kids don't need 3 meals/day, they only need 2/week? (Spoiler: Yes. That's exactly what's next.)

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

You know who doesn't grow up to go on dates, get their own places, get married, start families, get jobs, pay taxes or even just keep wiping their own asses on the daily? Kids who die from the measles. They don't get to grow up at all.

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Anthony Morse, one of my ancestors on my maternal grandma's side, arrived in the Americas in 1635 from Marlboro, England. Gerret VanSwearingen, one of my ancestors on my maternal grandpa's side, arrived in 1656 from The Netherlands. I feel like that's less trivial right now than it ever should be.

Cashed out of my last remaining tiny bit of Tesla stock, today. (Have been selling it off gradually for years and years, so was down to only a fraction of a share left, anyway.) Also dumped my Biglari (Steak n Shake) stock.

Sure he sent the secret plan to the media, but in his defense he's very drunk AND very stupid. Isn't why he was nominated in the 1st place? After all, the goal is to wreck the place with wild abandon, right? Like J6 but on everything, not just one building. He's meeting expectations.
