Life in Dad Land - tales of dementia from the inside
Dad is in his 80s, has a non-Alzheimer's dementia, and is otherwise healthy. He's been living with me since early 2020.
Various tales include whatever his current obsession is, such as A Door Into Summer, No Spiders!, and Why Can't I?

I Don’t Recall
A studied no recall,
Declared with conviction.
A deliberate fall.
When the misled defend
The one who crafted lies.

Mainstream news coverage almost totally ignored Bannon’s extensive ties to Epstein
In the month since the House Oversight Committee released the most recent batch of files concerning late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, most leading newspapers and all broadcast news ignored ...

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”
And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

We'd only really have to eat one of them.
The rest would get the message pretty quickly.
