I said this last year, I'll say it this year. Electing Nehemiah Scudder as the president was not a good idea.

They should have named the end of times anything else other than after that Blondie song.

Maybe having a "border czar" who looks like Lavrentiy Beria from The Death of Stalin wasn't a great choice, but it does cement my views of him.

So most everyone has a tame all-gender restroom in their homes. Why are the free-range ones so scary?

I have decided to monetize my Bluesky account. I figure with the money I make I can survive until yesterday.

It far easier to be a stoic when you are the Emperor of Rome than it likely is for other folks.

Sure all this bullshit sucks, but remember this: "If life were easy everyone would do it."

I'm sick of all this shit, but I have to live it. I believe I shall call this the time of "Terror Ennui"

Perhaps people should have thought twice before electing Nehemiah Scudder.

So, as it is a Sunday evening here with a Monday off, I can say with confidence: pet your cat, hug your significant other, send a pun to a friend. Step back and breathe, we have more fight to do - but now, a deep inhale and try to relax.

I have the sense that many Democrats right now are like the decent kid being wailed on by the bully in a fist of (mostly ineffectual) blows that still add up. Always having been told that violence is not right by their parents, they seem to be hoping it goes away.

So, basically, I am sorry I am 59 and not cool or involved. I ignore a lot of political posts because it gets my ague fired up, as well as my lumbago.
