I can only think of a friend, B, who used to date rich guys who'd spent their college days in fraternities and now considered themselves playboys of the western world, or at least of San Francisco's Marina District.
With one of them, a "tennis pro," things were getting serious. Then in the middle of a holiday party, the tennis pro dumped B.
"But why?" asked B, who hadn't seen this coming at all.
The tennis pro replied, "It's nothing personal. I've just decided that I prefer Kimmie. She's more bubbly than you."
Re the Lindy West thing - first of all, I'd not heard of her before, though I may have read some of her stuff without realising it. So, the piece itself is nice, seemed very even handed, meaning the diatribes from the husband and girlfriend make them look really arsehole-ish.
Its also a bit rich to take umbrage at people being interested in your personal life, when you've literally written a memoir (presumably with the consent of the others involved) about your personal life, but there we go
Sunday, March 29, is Palm Sunday, when Christians commemorate Jesus's entry into Jerusalem. He would subsequently confront the corruption and hypocrisy that had infested the Temple. On this day, Christians in 16 states will make public proclamation that we stand for justice and compassion, feeding the hungry, aiding the sick, freeing the oppressed, all the things that Jesus left clear instructions for doing. Matthew 25:31-46. This is a uniquely Christian event, meant to proclaim and protect values that so-called Christian nationalists are working to erode. It complements the more general "No Kings" rallies that will happen on March 28. Should you go to one and not the other? If you have the time and energy, do both! If you're not a Christian but still take Jesus's teachings seriously, you're welcome to the Palm Sunday event. It's a big, inclusive community! Here's a link with more information. Help us show the world that justice and compassion still count for something!
WIth all those Marines and "expeditionary forces" being deployed to "the Middle East", where are they being deployed to? They're certainly not going into Iran just yet, so are they going to bases in SA or UAE, where they're vulnerable to Iranian drones?
Congratulations to Ms. Gregory on winning her district. Expect it’s a little warm for me, so dunno about moving there and petitioning that ugly shack on the beach that senile orange rapey con man lives in be bulldozed, but well done.
(I dunno. Make it a wind farm or something. Anyway maybe a local resident can take that up? Probably do wonders for property values after what that guy’s done to it.)
As if we didn't have enough reasons to hate ICE, it has come out that ICE agents have been harassing Minnesota state legislators. Going on their properties, taking pictures of them, hassling them in public. Stay strong on not funding these fuckers!
The story is in the Star-Tribune, which is behind a paywall. Fuck the Strib, also too.
"Jury says only $375 million in damages in New Mexico suit, I think we can do better."
Agreed, it's off by about three orders of magnitude. These Billionaire Tech Bros have to be fined on the order of hundreds of billions for their fuckery!
I see the mainstream media reporting on a “15 point plan” for peace as if that number wasn’t just pulled from T’s arse. I suppose the regime felt obliged to make a list that matched that number. I wonder how many points are variations on “open the strait of Hormuz.”
At least one article I scanned yesterday said that the 15 points are the same ones Iran already rejected. Their goal now is to make trump look like more of an ass than he already looks like, and they are succeeding.
And, Israel is not ready to shut this down. So the USA can walk, but Israel is going to continue.
Car is in the shop today, routine maintenance for living on the side of the mountain- brakes. If it comes in under budget we'll order the pizza pizza. We got it last year and it's TRUE HOW GREAT IT IS TO HAVE IT IN THE FREEZER!!!!

Donkeys having fun and Pharrel singing Happiness is Truth. Great way to start my day.
Every morning I look forward to these. You brighten my day.
There were several moments that I expected the goat to get a good ass kicking.
Donkeys really smart. This looks more like organized crime waiting to happen.
Donkey/Goat miscegenation is the work of the devil!
"MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM! LOOK AT ME!!!!!" (repeat for every babby animal)
I didn’t realize that I required babby donkey zooms in my life!
"Kimi, will you calm down. You're making an ass of yourself."
Babby Pygmy Donkey!
OMG, Martini, you’ve outdone yourself, those Democrats are squee.
Donkey Kong!

I'm sure multiple people have mentioned this, but go Palm Beach County for flipping Blue.

36%? I think we can do better. W’s low was 32%, but that required a horrendous recession and major war.
Yes. That's on the agenda for next week.
"Nobody likes Donald Trump :)"
But nobody doesn't like Sara Lee!

"some bitch AI video thingie (Sora?) for making Disney porns"
Of course! Rule 34. I bet there's Flintstones and Scooby-Doo A1 pr0n out there now too, also!
There is and I've seen both. (The Scooby-Doo pron involves Shaggy and the other human characters.)
There's a metric shit ton of Velma stuffs.

His Clowns will have to come up with 15 points, no more, no less!
Seems like chaff. The only issue is nukes.
I really hate how often they report on shit Trump says as more than just shit Trump said.
Habitual, compulsive liar can definitely be taken at his word *this* time, film at 11.
Bonus cruising headline of the day : Via Cruise Industry News
"Six Cruise Ships Remain Stuck in the Arabian Gulf"
Are reported to be enjoying Baba ghanoush and kebabs.
I don't understand cruise ships to begin with, but why on earth would you want to sail those particular waters?
Dubai, in particular, is a very popular tourist city. I wouldn't want to go there, but people do.
"Why aren't you back to work?"
"Stuck behind the Strait of Hormuz."
"Kevin, you went to Boston, knock it off."
Kevin took the long way.
"Get ready for boots on the ground."
Get ready for dead American soldiers
Trump is looking forward to the opportunity to hawk more hats
