The actual insulting title that might work for Elon is not really “co-President,” but rather Chief Party Commissar.

“Call me Ishmael, A week ago -never mind when-I thought I would maintain PCR reagents. There is nothing like federal lab work to make one contemplate the tedium of test tubes of mysterious substances. It was a week spent in close quarters. You could say I had an insatiable desire to catalogue.”

Also, this is a *perfect example* of the kind of bureaucratic layer that makes actually doing things in government sometimes hard! Do you a VA nurse spending her time providing health care or writing Elon an email about “What I Did Last Week”?

It really has to be the “relative” measure of wealth for it to count. Sure, you have a better quality of life now than George Washington ever had, but what’s the use of all that wealth if we can’t show it off to all our neighbors?

I’m ducking out to go get a fajita at the local Mexican restaurant. If you can, try not to “ironically” Sieg Heil while I am away.

Even though the administration is ostensibly trying to work out American security guarantees for Ukraine, I just cannot believe it would hold up the minute Putin decides he wants to finish off Ukraine. Would the U.S. hold up any guarantee so long as it is policy that Russia was not the aggressor?

This is killing my soul.

My Letterboxd stats, so far, this year:

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

Manhunter, directed by Barry Levinson, but Tom Cruise as Will Graham and Dustin Hoffman as Hannibal Lecktor, and Cruise must break Lecktor out of the Baltimore Asylum for the Criminally Insane to track down Dollarhyde.

“97 X….BAM! The future of rock and roll. 97 X….BAM! The future of rock and roll. 97 X…”

"Oh uh just one more thing...the Spice only exists on one planet in the entire universe"

I did a search for the book THE FIVE NEGRO PRESIDENTS, and Google helpfully served up this A.I. overview above the search results.

This anniversary week has been rough. Today, it has been 1 year since my nephew's visitation, so, officially 1 year since I last saw him. Thinking of my brother's family and my mom. My nephew really liked Peaky Blinders and McNuggets with Dr Pepper, so I might watch and enjoy that this weekend.

Everyone who has gotten a vaccine in the US—which the vast majority have, multiple times—heard a medical professional say "do you have any questions?," signed a consent form, and received a detailed information sheet (often multiple pages long). Everyone knows this. Another reality-inverting lie.

“Cordell…throw him in. You can say I did it.”

This got me thinking: As someone who didn’t qualify for gifted education as a kid, I take it there is some “enrichment” that occurs in the curriculum with Greek myth lessons and water coloring, but I’ve always wondered what the hell went on in those pull-out classes my friends went to.

I see we’re now the 11th Province. Please send me the name of my Member of Parliament for my local riding. Maybe they can help me with my issue from this morning?

The Unsolved Mysteries “Update” killed me:

Too bad the DJIA has those circuit breakers that stop trading. I sincerely believe these guys could lose 40,000 points in one day if they really put their minds to it.

So now that the world is on fire you come knocking at my door

We shall withdraw from the Treaty of Paris (1783). The UK may now reclaim sovereignty over the Atlantic seaboard.

Musk 2025: Let’s stop supplying Ukraine with weapons. Howard Hughes in 1944: How many Generals do I need to bribe to get the contract to supply the UK with radar guided missiles?
