Social Skills Training By Solmaz Sharif Studies suggest How may I help you officer? is the single most disarming thing to say and not What's the problem? Studies suggest it’s best the help reply My pleasure and not No problem. Studies suggest it’s best not to mention problem in front of power even to say there is none. Gloria Steinem says women lose power as they age and yet the loudest voice in my head is my mother. Studies show the mother we have in mind isn’t the mother that exists. Mine says: What the fuck are you crying for? Studies show the baby monkey will pick the fake monkey with fake fur over the furless wire monkey with milk, without contest. Studies show to negate something is to think it anyway. I’m not sad. I’m not sad. Studies recommend regular expressions of gratitude and internal check-ins. Enough, the wire mother says. History is a kind of study. History says we forgave the executioner. Before we mopped the blood we asked: Lord Judge, have I executed well? Studies suggest yes. What the fuck are you crying for, officer? the wire mother teaches me to say, while studies suggest Solmaz, have you thanked your executioner today?

this is Tracer Bullet [complimentary]
a calvin and hobbes strip from the 'tracer bullet' occasional reveries. panel 1: a PI sits in a messy office, noir darks dominating the scene "I'd planned to take the day off and spend time with a couple of buddies. My buddies travel light and they're fun to have around. One travels in a holster and the other in a hip flask. My name is bullet. Tracer Bullet. What people call me is something else again. I'm a private eye. It says so on the door." panel 2: a closeup of tracer bullet, fedora shadowing his face. "the last thing I wanted this morning as a case to solve, but the dame who brought it was persuasive. Most dames are, somehow." panel 3: Calvin sits at his school desk, feet, up, daydreaming. Ms. Wormwood, his first grade teacher, stands over him. "Get to work, Calvin." "I told her hit would cost her fifty greenbacks a day, plus expenses."

holy Trinity meme. Backhoe in top left, excavator in top right, and skid-steer with mini excavator attachment on bottom. "Is not" links them on the perimeter. In the center, with "is" connecting all 3 machines, is "DIGGER"

eating my morning bowl of gruel while I listen to rumors of war, consider the recent pronouncement of the Pope, thank God for delivering me from the pestilence, ask if we're being punished for our sins, all before I go to work on the cathedral in the French style.

Picture unrelated.

A twitter post from @GenChuckYeager linking to his original after action report of 6 NOV 1944 "first time I saw a jet I shot it down. I was 1st in my group to shoot down an Me-262. He was on final - not very sportsmanlike - but what the hell?"
