It's not just the MAGA folks who ignore reality.

I just read: 

The Sydney Sweeney Denim Ad Takeaway Nobody Is Talking About

It's critical that we give voice to the subtext of denim ad campaigns; they have a long, documented history of reflecting and shaping culture, for better or worse. We must also continue to push back on size exclusivity and push toward a more body-positive future.

Today, great jeans should be universal, because everyone has always had great genes.

That's just Bullshit.

I don't quite get the fascination with Ms. Sweeney, but her genetics are definitely aligned with our perception of beauty.  Exceptional beauty.  There are multi-billion dollar industries focused on helping others look more like that.  Everyone does not have great genes. 

It’s kind of a Rippingtons day. Or even a Spyro Gyra day maybe

When dogs look at their humans in the morning—hair a mess, face all puffy—do they think, why do you guys look so rough when you wake up? I look just as fresh as when I went to bed.

Don't miss the inherent message. Every human soul needs to be reminded of this. No gender, religion, politics, or race has a monopoly on being an Asshole.   

If you've ever seen the movie "Fire In The Sky," it suggests there are also Alien Assholes.

Hate is like acid: eventually destroying the vessel in which it is contained as well as the object it's poured on.

Au contraire, mon frere. Pros and Cons is a wonderful piece of music (and a much better album cover)...some of EC's best guitar work.

And Gilmour's was music but Waters' was shite.

Funny how Waters and Gilmour both released solo albums in '84, with cover art featuring hitchhiking thumbs.

If we had put term limits on Congress a dozen years ago nearly everyone we are bitching about would have been replaced by now.

He who restrains his words has knowledge,
And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise;
When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent.

The tribe speaks loudest at times by remaining silent. 

A nation of complacent MF’s.

Thank God Mammon!

Another s$#t show orchestrated by king taco, with the predictable support resulting in fires, looting, violence and contempt for the US...

Markets are holding...everything's fine.
