OJ ran for 2000 too 👀 he probably had dinner with a president too, probably the same one

I'm trying really hard to keep this timeline a little more upbeat and a little less sweary than the other. This is probably why I don't post very often here.

I need kitties. And pills.

I am *not* a conspiracy theorist, but both of them (Elmo and the Orange Bastard) are just psychopathic enough to do this.

Thinking about home right now. Spent a reasonable amount of time in NE Philly as a kiddo. This is heart breaking on many levels.

I won't lay the blame entirely at the tiny feet of Orange Foolius. No. The blood of any casualties will not only be on the very small hands of the Dear Orange Leader but on the voters who put him in office.

This will be the rule moving forward, too.

Dilemma: In 2023, sprog and I went home to watch the Super Bowl. We all know how that turned out. In 2018, we stayed here.

Sprog is begging to go home for this year, but I'm too superstitious to do that. Also, walking through PHL the day after LVII was unbearably sad.

Super Bowl bound!!!!! Go birds!!!!!

Yeah, if I were at the game, this would be the point where my stepfather would be dragging us to the car.

Me: I don't want to leave yet!
Him: Game's over. It's done. Let's beat traffic.

A college kid, anywhere: Free Palestine!
The ADL: Why, you antisemitic $%&@! How dare you!?
Elmo: :throws an N@zi gesture:
The ADL: Now, now, everyone calm down. We must extend grace.

Greenblatt et cie are the worst. The lowest of the low. The slimiest of the slime. Nary a redeeming quality.

Hi, I’m God.

I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

Oh, this is so sad. Representative John has served our district for the past nine years. He is a lovely man and a phenomenal public servant. Sending his family and him the warmest wishes and comfort at this time.

May Cecile Richards' memory be a blessing, and may her family, loved ones, and friends find comfort.

Actively avoiding anything to do with today. Against my will, I discovered that Princess Ivanka is doing her best to ruin Bottle Green. I think not. I'm NOT surrendering Bottle Green to anyone. I was here first. I'm louder and meaner, and I carry a stick.

Oh, a Sex And The City Marathon on HBO. What an excellent way to avoid reality today.

Feeling divisive and snarky this evening. Can't imagine why.

How did I not know about the Walmes Wirkin? Not remotely interested in it (I think Birkins are tragically ugly), but the name is faboosh.
