Mum (92) still knits these sweaters for family. She'd knit us a new sweater every couple of years as we outgrew them. Mum made this one about 10 years ago.

First things first, Kegsbreath, you’re not worthy to polish Kelly’s boots. Next, the image is mirrored - you can thank phone cameras for that, but your drink-assed frat boy brain can’t process that, now can it? Lastly,looking forward to your imminent downfall and testimony in Congress and the Senate

When I started working from home I stopped going to the barber. I didn’t inherit the baldness gene, apparently.

After another week of watching credulous right-wing fluffers melt down over Arabic numerals and other trivial matters, I remain convinced that stupidity will be the main reason civilization, such as it is, ends with a groan, whimper and one final facepalm.

They’re not going after criminals. “Criminals don’t get up and go to work and pay their bills.”
These are not criminals; they’re hard-working people.

I don't know. It's been heading this way since the mid 70s. In a way, I'm not surprised. I'm impressed at the number of people who jumped at the opportunity to be their worst selves to 'own the libs', etc. The stupidity, cruelty, and selfishness were always there, just waiting for permission.
I can’t believe how stupid everything is

I've started editing the images from Nepal. This is Pashupatinath, the Hindu funerary temple in Kathmandu. The dead are cremated at the riverside and their ashes placed in the Bhagmati River, which eventually flows into the Ganges.

It's pretty rare for someone to get a photo of me I'm not aware of, and with my own camera at that. Anyhow, this is me, Fat Thor, sitting in a small tea shop in Ilam this past October.

To my dad, uncles, great-uncles, brother-in-law, niece, and cousins, all who served in conflicts from World War I to Sarajevo, Kuwait, and beyond: To those I never had the chance to meet, to those who made it home, and to those whose families will wait for them forever, my humble thanks.
