Spent the day at Uxmal yesterday. Our local guide was super cosmic. Known as the city of gratitude. Seemed fitting. You can climb most of the buildings except the main pyramid. (The lessor sites still allow this, btw, if it’s on your bucket list).

Happy Thanksgiving to all the binge eaters out there. To the rest of you, Godspeed & don’t forget the Pepcid. 🍗🦃😊🍁

I wonder if they have a little buzzer attached to his nads to shock him awake when he nods off and can I borrow it?

Well, the cosmos is awesome in every way so I completely understand why it would want to get to know itself better. Thanks for the pre-frontal cortex, cosmos. I’m paying you back in poetry & stories. Hope you like!

Surprised this even made the news. I used to edit SEC quarterly earnings call-transcripts (which are public, btw) & I’ve heard CEOs say way worse about their customers, including how stupid they are & easily manipulated. Also heard some admit to crimes as they spoke to their shareholders.

On Reddit, I often get mistaken for being a dude. My handle is gender neutral so it must be my writing style. I’ve heard this before & thought it was strange, but I just found out one of my favorite pages isn’t run by a woman, but a man, so I 💯 defaulted to “feminine” due to his writing style. Weird

Gum surgery this morning, Uxmal pyramids tomorrow.

I offer my blood sacrifice to the Maya gods freely, with joy in my heart and strong narcotics in my veins.

Deregulation changed everything. As a kid, I used to fly Braniff, Eastern & other now-defunct airlines to visit my dad. Tix were insanely expensive. $400-$600 RT from OKC to Boston. That’s $1100-$1700 in 2025 USD. Prices peaked in the 80s then slowly went down in the 90s, as did service.
When, in the history of commercial air travel, have airlines NOT looked for ways to cut costs and maximize profits? Isn’t that what ALL businesses do?

I don’t mean to apologize for the air industry, which I hate. But historically, in more years than not, that industry barely squeaks out a profit.

Trump brazenly colludes to help authoritarian Bolsonaro escape justice in Brazil, breaking Brazilian law, US law & International law. Too stupid to pull it off, even with US help. When is enough going to be enough, folks?

Trump is a criminal & we have got to get him out of our house ASAP.

These people have no idea what they’re doing.

We do actually need smart people to keep things running properly. People who get that air travel has become intolerable bc of the way passengers are now treated. THERE IS NO ROOM TO SIT COMFORTABLY. Flights are delayed for hours

Buffoons, all of them
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

It’s in quotes bc they mean that any order the president gives is legal because he is apparently the Pope & the King now, therefore he cannot issue an “illegal order.” Of course they are all completely insane, but this is mental cirque du soleil and we’re all fucking sick to death of it even MAGA

They know they’re going to lose the majority in the midterms (bye, Majority Leader Johnson) so why bother campaigning? Also, they finally figured out that Trump doesn’t share toys. He’s treated his most loyal people in Congress abominably. Also, Epsteinery is still afoot.

I don’t eat like this & would never want to look like this poor, frail girl.

First time he sees a silver-dollar pancake sized 🩸 clot in the toilet, I would be the brand new owner of the house he fled & all the bathrooms in it - stocked with the cushy stuff, too, not that prison TP he sawed in half.

A “new come-to spot for meaningful encounters.”

In Italy, pineapples are still considered exotic & super fancy. They bring them whole to your table and carve them in front of everyone with flourish, like a prime rib.

I had an uncle who “committed suicide” in a similar way. They found him with a gunny sack over his head attached to the exhaust pipe of his running car, half his head blown off. There was no hole in the gunny sack, though 😳

He was a gambler & owed money to some bad people. I never knew him.

Actually, yes. Though no laws existed, slavery was considered immoral by a great many in Jefferson’s time, including Jefferson himself, Washington, Franklin, Adams, Hamilton. As was rape. And to state the obvious, child rape. JFC.
Actually, no. There were no laws against having sex with child slaves in 1776.

"Horrific" or no, it wasn't "immoral" in Jefferson's time.

Would he have any less of a chance of being elected president in 2024? 🤔 #PedoDon
