No DMs. I'm from the Central time zone. I like liking things. People are inherently good. I do theatre and film sometimes. I'm getting greyer and rounder, but that's okay.

Our dreams are beautiful. Our fate is sad. But, somewhere in the middle, it's all kinda funny.
Today will be my first Mardi Gras spent sober in... quite some time. Still gon' let the good times roll.

Trump was 'best friends' with Epstein for 20 years. He hosted parties for Epstein at Mar-a-Lago featuring young hired "models," flew on his plane many times, and visited his "Lolita Island."

Despite that, there are ZERO email exchanges between Trump and Epstein in the files released by DOJ.

Hmm...

I just got an ad that offered to let me play Dungeons & Dragons anytime I want with an AI dungeon master.

That's both a hard FUCK NO and a hard FUCK YOU.

I keep trying to figure out how, with so many bigwigs involved, the Powers That Be didn't just have them destroyed?

Only answer I can think of that makes sense? Somebody else has them, too.

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured?

Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

Gen Z may hate us, but they're just jealous: I'm Generation X, and I know what the word "Loopted" means.

You know that whole thing about Ghislaine Maxwell being sent to a nicer prison? Yeah, I think there should be a bigger "Why? about that.

I mean, I want American tax dollars to buy me a puppy, too. And I've never even facilitated raping children.

This this this.

I've posted about it before but *multiple* AI slop James Gandolfini biographies appeared on Amazon in the days after GANDOLFINI was published, and any money those jagoffs made should have gone in my pocket. I did the work, I did the promo, they ripped people off.
I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

I know its a minor thing, but I'm still kinda amazed that he wears more makeup than some drag queens and nobody mentions it.

I mean, it's weird, right?

Given that so much high-level policy making is announced via that Truth Social account, are we okay that unknown "staffers" can post things that could catastrophically disrupt global security/markets?

Sadly, I think this is accurate. "Hate the Libs," as a strategy, has been effective.

I went to a Cajun place for lunch. Then Drew Brees was announced as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Drew, buddy, I knew we could do it.

"Own the Libs, protect children from rapists... own the Libs, protect children from rapists.... What if we own the Libs but only protect children from Liberal rapists, is that close enough?"
