For no reason at all, while reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, it hit me that the Syndicate isn’t just about greed, cruelty and self-dealing. They’re Malthus fanboys (and gurls)! #war/famine/plaguewhoopee

This is a nonpolitical post about my son’s soul and flies. He (not the fly) has autism & didn’t engage much verbally from puberty through his mid 30’s, when he reqiured surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. Surgery was lifesaving but left him with severe tremors.

My gut tells me that the cozy car ride was all it took to completely change the meeting’s objective from “ceasefire”to “peace deal”. All Vlad needed to do was lean in like Jeffrey whispering “Check that one out” to croon “Peace Prize…Peace Deal, Peace Prize…Peace Deal…” SAD! #NoKings,#Resist

As a hill country expat, I wish someone would tell @chrislhayes.bsky.social how to pronounce Kerr Co. It’s like letting him talk with a chunk of raddichio in his teeth.

Just listened to my favorite POD BROS who mentioned @steverattner.bsky.social had some snark about Mamdani’s policy aims. Steve! I saw your crib a few times during covid. You’ve had a huge upgrade in your “boards” and air time. A pilot free grocery, one to a Burrough, should not twist your panties.

You’ve got to believe Katy Tur is preening her harpy feathers after sticking her talons into Jimena Arias Cristobal today, the teen Dreamer mistakenly apprehended then “detained” by ICE. A shameful reprise of last week’s gotcha of her father ensued when she demanded Jimena justify her humanity.

Katy Tur, I swear, just said to a distressed Mexican gentleman whose daughter is threatened with deportation, “Plead your case” alluding to his qualification to remain in the US. He haltingly replied after translation, We are a good person…”. He had also just gotten out of detention. Shame on her!!!

I would miss China’s gadgets and especially the brand names on everything. I wonder if there is a Ministry of Silly Names. My dream job.

I am convinced that aside from the broligarch money grab, there is also a longer term effort to create a stratified sick ignorant laboring class. POCs at the base, poor whites as the overseers, cowed educated as mid mgmt. And lets not omit the Soylent Green contingent. Fun days ahead. #serf’sup

My little town’s Memorial Day parade was always led by the veterans. Most who came home returned to dangerous jobs in the plants. Their uniforms strained their middle age waistlines and some could no longer march in step but the quiet pride on their faces spoke volumes. I hate where we are today.

Am I alone in wondering the outcome of Gettysburg if Meade and Lee had one smartphone call each over the 3 days? My brain trying to override Rick Wilson and his guest discussing the end of democracy. #boomerbrain #gettysburgcellphones

My son Patrick gave my honey garlic chicken dinner a “19 plus” tonight- highest score ever. I’ve become a TikTok recipe hoarder.

My grown son with autism (I don’t really want to belabor that speciality going forward) rates my cooking.I can achieve 12-14 if mashed potatoes are involved. Last evening, the turkey feast got 16, which he also awarded the shitty orange chicken I brought from the grocery store Tues. #keepingmehumble

Now that I’m retired I have been cooking the T-giving “feast”for my fam. Though it’s not a seven fishes scenario, I have a paper cut that is killing me and I’m thinking of driving my car over the turkey brining pot.

I’m not likely to get there but despite that hard truth, I’m still googling around to learn which democratic nations have the fewest Nazis.

First try at this. Never posted at X. Mostly liked and lurked at X following EliNYC, Lincoln Project, etc. I would love to post anecdotes about my son who is my raison d’etre and continue to like and lurk. And is anyone else sick at their stomach when they allow themselves to think about Zylenskyy?
