The incipient Fascist Omnishambles & Fucktastrophe has me taking a lot more risks than I used to. To that end, I am eating a Pop-tart (s'mores) that is 1.5 months past its expiration date. If I don't make it, trebuchet my carcass onto RFK Jr's porch.
Nerdy, 53, lives in a snout house in an uncool neighborhood technically in Portland, where she likes to think of her mostly spurge & broadleaf lawn as “re-wilding”, & the Compact OED & Taschen edition of Hieronymous Bosch, 2 books she was reading while marking bowings on her cello music…

The fuck is this "barrel leg jeans" bullshit? I cannot believe I made it through high school alive only to have to live through the return of Z. Cavariccis. There are straight leg, boot-cut, and skinny jeans. Anything else is wasting my time. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The idea that social media is some sort of Marketplace of Ideas to expose me to viewpoints other than my own is hogwash. I'm on SM to see pet pics, read funny posts from smart ppl, smart posts from funny ppl, & get book recommendations. I'm 50+. I've heard all the viewpoints. Most of them are dumb.

Willing to bet the Venn diagram of "leftist" folks who ran a trans guy off tw*tr for being lefty but working a shit office job at Lockheed Martin & the ones who were horny to vote for a former Blackwater mercenary w/a Nazi tattoo is just a circle.

“I’m not gonna have somebody out here dressed like this,” yells the cop.
#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:
I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.
So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Ok, sorry you guys. My bad. Looks like my cello case is Antifa. You think if I turn it in the SS will leave my city? I’ve got farmer’s markets to go to.
