An all-time great, but he forgot "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."
For this, he will have a negative mark, at least in my mind.

Went to Bay Cities for the first time since it re-opened, and that Godmother sandwich was like an old friend.

If Trump thinks you’re funny, you’re not in the comedy business.
You’re doing something else, no matter what excuses you give St Peter.

Happy JAWS-iversary to all!
I was 6 when JAWS premiered, and have spent the rest of my life fascinated and terrified out of my mind. That summer, on a family trip to Connecticut, I wouldn't go in past my knees.
Today I live six blocks from a Great White nursery. Still...not past the knees. :-)

I find this photo chilling.
Trump’s parade isn’t a show of strength to the world—the world is already well aware of our military.
It is to show the American people, “I own this and will turn it on you.”
Pure President Abuser stuff.

There are kids who will never be coke dealers at Harvard. Will never eat roadkill. Will never get addicted to heroin. Kids who will never show *whatever titanic bad judgment it takes* to get a worm in your brain.
Or maybe they will, like RFK Jr. And they deserve rights, compassion and respect.
