Leeds United, U.S. politics, birding and oil painting. I write about the things that interest me. This is why I have no audience.
Been going for over ten years. I’d vote for him over Trump, but just because the other side has a disingenuous sleazebag doesn’t mean we need one of our own.

Newsom is Don Jr. in a Democratic state. Every time I hear the guy, every last one of my instincts of “don’t trust this clear fraud” fire off. Surely we can do better.

I suspect it’s like the old WWII rule of thumb for artillery fire. If you see it/hear it, it’s not on a course to hit you. That said, if I see that I’m taking cover on principle.

I typically cheer for any team that plays ManU. But then I see Arteta’s stupid entitled face on the sideline, and all I can do is cheer for injuries.

He had glass encased renaissance paintings on the walls of his home basketball court. I would 1,000% do that with enough money.

If they’re serving noodles and other street-based food, too much cleanliness is a sign they don’t care about authenticity.

That was a vicious hit. That kid walking off the field on his own was impressive.

He also appears to have gotten a pretty unique gun to do it with. And he didn’t really care that much about fingerprints or photos. I’m fully expecting that he left the country shortly after the event.

He probably ought to take a deep breath and just have a stiff drink.

The last couple years have clearly broken Sheridan’s brain. Yellowstone, Lioness and Landman are all tv versions of Clint Eastwood debating an empty chair. He’s capable of writing fun tv, he’d just rather debate straw men with the dumbest arguments possible.

I married up in terms of social skills, fun, looks, and ability to interact with the world. I am, however, clearly the better oil painter. So it’s close to a wash.

Definitely adding to my block list over this one. Helpful for rooting out the truly awful people that are on one’s own side.

If we’re just murdering executives in industries that we don’t like now, that’s not a great direction. Hoping to find out it wasn’t a political statement, or I need to start walking a bit further away from my boss when I’m in public.

My MIL picked up my perfect orange from his comfort chair, despite everyone’s warning that she would get a deserved biting. She did it anyway, and got her biting. Then she got mad I when I told my orange he was a good boy for enforcing boundaries.

Was recently “complimented” on my “classy casual” look by a maitre d’ in NYC, then was “complimented” for a camo sweater/sports coat combo by a worker at the Met. It could be that strangers judge and comment on clothes causing social pressure. Next time they get socks and sandals to make a point.
