Kind of a tool, but I mean well. I also have too many hobbies, plus my kids’ hobbies, so I’m bad at all of them.
A couple of weeks ago, I noted that Nazi parades by groups like Patriot Front have basically disappeared while kidnappings by similarly masked ICE “agents” have gone up.
Apparently DHS hired their communications team, too. The US government is directly parroting Nazi “blood and soil” propaganda.

I’ve reached the denial phase of middle age where I see an older professional athlete and think, “Jeez, look at that haggard old guy,” only to find out he’s younger than me.
Also stronger, faster, and richer.

Any time I start to get down on myself, I get a notice that someone tried to steal my identity and someone else had to buy me a year of credit monitoring.
So, I’ve got that going for me.

🎶 Brave Sir Michael ran away.
Bravely ran away away.
When Epstein reared his ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Michael turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
****Bravely**** taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Michael!

There are only two possibilities: MAGA lied about an Epstein client list to Pizzagate the libs for Trump, or they’re burying it now because Trump’s on the list. Unlike a monorail, you can get off this ride anytime.

I’m normally in favor of nuclear power as a safe, clean, and efficient source of energy. But, in a government where competence has been purged for party loyalty? A DOE of Fox News personalities hired for their pro-Trump essays?
That’s how you get Chernobyl.

Decades after a tense N.H. protest, nuclear energy has become a rare bipartisan issue. Here’s why. - The Boston Globe

My favorite little bit in The Cask of Amontillado is where Fortunato’s all-in to stomp through catacombs for wine, but is briefly worried whether Montresor is a mason because he didn’t know the secret hand gesture after drinking. So Montresor shows him his trowel to keep him moving.

We all read #blessed as “bless-ed,” right? Like Shakespearean characters after stubbing their toe or checking out a cool knife in Act II that will definitely cause Problems in Act IV?

Is it bad to lose 12 months of economic growth in only two days?
I don’t know. It seems bad to me. But I haven’t bankrupted several businesses, including a casino, before.

Seeing Trumpers in my town with signs supporting NIMBY liberal candidates for our Select Board demonstrates how little difference exists between “not in my backyard” and “not in my country.”

Silver lining: This was kind of a nice subtle reminder that Donald Rumsfeld isn’t alive anymore.
But, yes, the Trump administration is absolutely removing all the guardrails that previously prevented him from using the military on US soil against civilians in his last term.

I had a choice with this one from two years ago: shelve it for another four years, or just say fuck it and finally put it out there now.
You’ll get why when you see it.
But my premise still stands: it’s okay to like things that taste good but don’t hurt.
