Oh man, this is what I get for doing/thinking about too many things at once. I’m so sorry to conflate two wonderful authors!

You also wrote a seriously cool Science teacher in “Project Hail Mary!”

This really DOES sound like his aides are feeding him “fake news.” Now I admit I don’t watch Fox News, but is it even possible it’s showing old videos from Portland in 2020? All the time?

That’s…one hell of a photo. Where/when is it from?

I didn’t even start the career I retired in at 75 until I was 38. Flailed and faffed (and raised a couple kids) until then.

My 65-year-old friend was detained at the airport because she was born at *ChinaLake* CA when her dad was stationed at the military base there. Those idiots saw CHINA and detained her at the airport for a long time. She was flying with Real ID and not her passport. Never again, she says.

Yeah, but according to his handle, the guy can fart like a champ, apparently! That’s another stable genius right there.

I’m too lazy to look it up. Other than waiting to beat him in his next election, can senators be impeached or otherwise removed? Just because?

Can I tell you how much I would adore it if someday soon he needs to be wheeled out of the Pentagon in a straight jacket?

I have Mormon ancestors who stayed in Illinois after Nauvoo and became Baptists of all things, before eventually becoming no-particular-religion-at-all.

One of the good (?) things about moving to Missouri is it’s virtually impossible for me to watch the Bears. They’re just not available in deep southwest MO. So restful.

Wellll, I guess I give a little bit of a shit—would be cool to learn something new about her. As a distraction however, this is weak sauce.

In 1974-ish (it was a long time ago) Ginsberg spent the night at my house. He was performing somewhere and my then husband was involved in the booking. All I remember is him sitting on my couch, spouting nonsense, and a raft of people positively cooing while I’m there going “wtf.”

I love Bluesky. I commented on someone’s post last week and mentioned I powerlift. A reporter from The Guardian US asked if I’d be willing to be interviewed. Here’s the result!. What an interesting life I lead!

Moved to MO from Illinois after I retired because it’s much less expensive. I like that aspect, but its politics are truly horrendous.
