Making base insults against politicians does no good. Insult them for their hipocracy, their lies, their moral lack, their political stance. One should not insult their looks, voice, clothes, personal life, etc. THAT SAID:

I can't hear peace over the sound of rattling sabers.

Pre coffee thought: I think one of the ways we can start diciphering Alien Language (And by alien I mean Otherworldly) Might be by seeing how they make words and learn language as lil alien babies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fros...

Let's not forget the B side to Schoolhouse Rock's 'No More Kings" " I will send a fully armed batallion to remind you of my love" www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5JA...

By Grabthar's Hammer... What a savings...

So... Welcome to Messy Bitch Summer.

The last few Doctor Who's: David Tennent: Fangirl dream boyfriend Matt Smith: Emotionally Available Twink Peter Capaldi: Cool Uncle who smokes weed with you and introduces you to underground music Jodie Witticker: Found Family Matriarch Ncuti Gatwa: Bisexual Labrador Retreiver. In a Good Way.

When I hear of the passing of a Public Figure, one of the first things I do is check the math on how old they lived to be. One day I'll hear of someone passing, see that they had a 'good long life' and they died younger than me. THAT'S the dream...

It's got a Pope motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got Pope tires, Pope suspensions, Pope shocks. It's a model made before Vatican II so it'll run good on regular gas

So... is Cinco de Mayo just St. Patrick's day with tequilla instead of whisky? Cause I don't think either are celebrated by Mexico or Ireland...

Thunderbolts. It's good. Florence Pugh and David Harbor have awesome found family energy, and I still want to punch Julia Lewis Dryfuss's character. The only 'bad thing' I can say about the flick is halfway through I relized I want to be Winter Soldier, but I am, in fact, Red Guardian.

Politics is not Politics anymore. It's Sports with people's lives on the line.

Found out that in Chinese Art there are 4 plants called "The Four Gentlemen". Theya re the plum blosson, bamboo, chrysanthumum, and the orchid. ORCHID?! No one tell Georgia O'Keefe

I kinda want Oscar Isaac to open a snack shop and call it "Oscar Noms" with themed food based on the movies/ people nominated

Happy Birthday Tom Lehrer! still kicking! this is how I (and probably many other GenXrs learned of him. It was only a matter of time before we Gave It To Agnes... www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB2F...

I picked up Jurassic World Evolution 2, the new 'find/ raise dinos' base management game. I'm partway through the tutorial, and I gotta say, even for a Jurassic Park game it's pretty unbelievable. The tutorial has you working for Dept of Fish and Wildlife... Like we'll HAVE that in a few years.

I have a blacksmith friend. He's recently decided to make a metal set of playing cards. Every deck he sells (they are NOT cheap) he'll play a friendly hand of poker with the buyer, but he insists on dealing, because he wants folks to know he who dealt it smelt it.

BREAKING NEWS: It's recently been discovered that the reason Certain People are Upset About Pronouns is Rafeala Gabrialla Sasperilla recently came out as Trans. So did the Rinocerous... www.youtube.com/watch?v=koZF...

Pre coffee thought: Back in MY day we just said "What the hell, man..."

Happy Trans visibility day! www.hrc.org/campaigns/in...

I keep forgetting how much I like Larry Wilmore. Funny, smart, thoughtful, middle aged African American and not chasing fame. Just a workaday interviewer. If you Pod, check out his pod "Larry Wilmore: Black on the Air".

I wonder how medicine would change if the first 2000 years of it wern't harmful. If you were sick in that time period you would probably start by bleeding with an unclean knife. Or go to the crazy person who would have you drink tea. Neither would probably have an affect, but hey... tea!

Is it time to reboot Hogan's Heroes? Hogan and company are a rag tag group of people arrested by ICE for no crimes running rings around their idiot camp commendant. Loads of MAGA border patrol guards than make Roscoe P Coletrain look like Einstein. Hollywood- CALL ME!

It may be time for a rewatch of The Good Place. I forgot what a great show it is.

If the game of Monopoly was invented today what would the rules be? 1) you no NOT get $200 when you pass Go. Bootstrap yourself you lazy bastard. 2) no one with a net value of $2500 can go to jail. Any others?

Just finished "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder. read it. It will keep you sane.

In order to make Life More intresting, I shall be believing in one wackjob theory and idea. This belief shall be unshakable and any debate will result in me digging in even harder untill my entire personality will revolve around this. Problem is I do not know which batshit idea to accept.

As a NOLA ex-pat I'm used to public services going down- Squirrels knock out power grids, water boil advisories, flood, potholes that could conceal a washing machine (and that was UPTOWN!). But when the Internet and phone lines go down in Los Alamos NM twice in 5 days I get all tinfoil hat.

The Fam is out for the week, visiting some Canyon that's Grand. I think it's called... YER MOM! So basicly I'm alone in the house with only the Gawdamn Dawgs to keep me out of trouble. Who's up for marathon LEGO & Booze?

I think I have a cold coming on. I'm ok, I'm just espresso. You know... A little coughy. (A reminder no one is forcing you to follow me)

Happy Pi Day! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsrJ...

The fact we need a Bible Scholor to explain why empathy is good makes me want to smash my head into a wall so hard I make a roschach test with my brain that spells out "WHY!!!!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z8D...

Pre-coffee thought: There needs to be a word for the emotion you experience when you explain a normal everyday thing and the people listening look at you like you have a tentacle waving a 'Nixon '68' pennant growing out of the top of your head.

Although violence solves nothing, I firmy believe we need a good old fashioned fistfight in Congress. A realy donnybrook. I'm talking thrown desks, broken noses. I want to send AOC a new walking stick because she broke hers over the head of Mike Johnson.

From the 1940s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGAq...

Happy Ash Wendsday! Also please type quietly for all the hungover NOLA people 🙂

After years of shame and silence, Charry from Pee Wee's Playhouse has come out to admit to having a torrid affair with JD Vance in the past. No questions will be taken at this time... www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMzd...

Bon Mardi Gras! here, it's Tuesday...

Pre-coffee thought: I say this as a born and bred midwestener: If one considers bread as a medium for other foods (not always, of course) there is no more efficient shape for it than the burrito. Even the Chilly Midwesteners have lefse, which is the potato equivelent

Who's up for a Dance Party? www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOf7...

Pre-coffee thought: WHY did I wake up with "Wake Me Up Before You Go-go" running thru my head? More importantly why was it being spoke/sung in an accusitory manner by John Lithgow? "YOU put the boo-boom into my heart!" "YOU send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts!" send help

So... Blown Head Gasket sounds like a fun sex act, but a pretty lousy car problem. Not 100% that's the problem, but mechanic says it's a fair bet. yay...

Car is pooping out white smoke from the tailpipe and the hood.I give you this question: White smoke out the tailpipe: 1) No problem. Keep on rolling 2) Problem, but you can still drive local 3) PROBLEM. Do not move, do not pass go, get ye to a mechanic ASAP. 4) Redneck Pope has been selected.
