I guess what bothers me most is just how little it took for half the country to sacrifice its humanity, in favor of pretty much nothing. Not even a Faustian bargain with a short term benefit.

In retrospect, I likely overestimated their humanity to begin with

DOGE is effectively the Deep State they warned you about. Unelected, unaccountable, and with a seemingly unlimited purview. How’s that for irony?

The press is basically saying that Trump has set himself up as a messianic figure. This is not news to anyone who was sentient eight years ago.
I’m really beyond tired of self proclaimed “intelligent people” who can’t be bothered to pay attention. Where are these new people from?

It's even worse than last time. And the kowtowing is sickening

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Ceci n’est pas une pamplemousse nonplus.

When I was a young kid, I had no idea what gay or homosexual meant. But it seemed clear to me that Anita Bryant was some flavor of evil

I have actually had excellent tripes á la Bordelaise. Heavy in vin rouge and black pepper. But honestly, the other times I have had them, smelled and tasted like merde. Which, you know, unsurprising, given what that is.

Jesus. The amount of bullshit on my FB feed is approaching intolerable levels. Crap movies, stupid AI manipulated photos, weird daredevil nonsense, bizarre right wing missives, reasonable people wearing badly photoshopped t shirts. I’m okay with the boner pill ads, but it’s at a point now where…

Paris-Défense. I haven’t been in years, but the first time I went, I felt like I was on the set of Logan’s Run or some other sci fi film. I’m not qualified to comment on the aesthetics but the experience was surreal

L’Etoile

Actually have driven around this many times. Takes some nerve at first. Head immediately to the center and then peel off for your street. If you miss it, go around again. It works. Kind of controlled chaos. It’s the people who hesitate who cause accidents.

Oh, Kermy. How did we fail you?

Can we sue Merrick Garland for theft of wages now?

Despite everything else that’s going on, my New Canaan Rams beat the Darien Blue Wave 34-0. So, cool

Enjoying spicy and crispy turkey skin. That’s the part that’s good for you, innit?

These Breztri ads, a drug designed for the treatment of COPD, sounds like “breast tree” to me. Because I am effectively 8 years old.

But what would a breast tree look like?

My mother was at least a little square (big Perry Como fan) but she was a jazz pianist and introduced me to Thelonious Monk. Taught me how to play Round Midnight.

I confess that I like using the word moist, because it pisses off the right people.

I love Gwen Stefani and her band No Doubt!

What a difference a comma makes. Mangiamo, amici miei! “Let’s eat, my friends”. Without, it’s “let’s eat my friends.
