Two older women outside Safeway
Woman 1: Ok, you take care. And be safe! No speeding. Woman 2: Ha, don't worry, safety is my middle name!
[they part]
Woman 2, under her breath: But my first name...is Speeding.

A funny thing that everyone missed in the chaos of Covid waves was The Offspring firing their drummer because he was anti-vax and the lead guy is a PhD in Molecular Biology and didn’t have time for that shit and then the drummer ended up joining Tim Pool’s midlife crisis band

I had to cancel a first date tonight with a cute guy from Ireland due to a power outage at the original destination, followed by an unplanned hour long BART delay between there & the Plan B meeting spot.

Watching The Maltese Falcon & B pointed out The Big Lebowski is, beat for beat, a noir. "What if Sam Spade were even more of a loser?"

The hunt for an on-theme action movie meant someone put on The Patriot after burgs yesterday and idk what I was expecting but that was a lot of Ideology.
Yeah sure there was a SC planter who didn't like or engage in slavery but ALSO wasn't an annoying abolitionist or anything, didn't come up much
