I do not care if the new press secretary called herself a lawyer. To the extent that it is untrue or evasive, it doesn't matter to me in the least. She's the press secretary. People in this administration who have actual decision-making authority, including the President of the United States, lie about far more important things dozens upon dozens of times every day and the political press largely just shrugs, occasionally mustering up the courage to include "critics argue, however . . ." 18 paragraphs in to their biweekly "Trump flummoxes Democrats" story.
Greetings from the pied-Γ -nuage where we dined on the leftover vegan dashi Meccalopolis made yesterday. Added some fresh maitake to the dashi and boiled up fresh whole rice soba noodles; cooked a handful of baby spinach in the bowls by pouring in the hot soup, sprinkled it with finely sliced scallion. Soup is so healing! Gummy for dessert; that's healing also too. Good night, beloved Wonketteers. We love and appreciate you all and we bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace. Be kind, especially to yourself, and please, please stay safe. When we vote, we WIN!!
He's been a real breath of fresh yet critical air on social media. I was pleasantly surprised when I started running across his stuff on twitter years ago.
Here's a corner of the pond in the park near my house where I go for walks almost every day. The various depths and colors and textures are just astounding this time of year. I went to some length describing some of the critters that I've photographed there, but I don't want to detract from this just being a pretty shot.
There's already a lot more yellow (this was from 3-4 days ago) and the sycamores just go straight to brown, but we've got a week or so to go before the fall colors really come out.
She was brilliant! He seems to not be well connected mentally with a lot of what she was saying and started spouting a whole lot of what I thought was amateur unknowledgeable shit.
A close friend was sitting at a light when an 18-wheeler made a wide right turn and basically destroyed his small car. The whole right side was stove in. And the adjuster declared it impossible to fix, totaled, nothing to be done. And the fucking truck driver did not even stop. My friend is not as good as some people would be at whipping out their phone and taking photos, but boy, be careful out there. That motherfucker. Plus the car had just been serviced and had new tires. All gone.
A small thing to note: when once upon a time I had a car totaled, I was able to produce a receipt for very recent new tires and get a small (not enough) upward adjustment to the value.
Please tell your friend he absolutely can haggle with the insurance co, and have examples of real replacement car value, from marketplace or Craigslist. Bc they'll lowball.
Nashville line dancing excursion with my work group tonight. Sorry, Iβm gonna have to opt out of that, still prepping for tomorrowβs meetings! (Actually a real excuse. Also a convenient one.)

If it feels this good getting used ..
I took a coganative test and successfully identified which number equals four.
No way Biden gets that right.

Fucking again with you idiots...
Now getting calls from John Mitchell.
Really getting tired of this bullshit.
It's Wednesday.
That was supposed to have been Joni Mitchell, new American citizen.

Mr. gallbladder, another call from Sun Yat Sen!
Look, I already told him that the First Guangzhou uprising was doomed to failure.
But if he wants to buy me lunch, who am I to resist?

Sweet.
You should officially declare that this is Lake Wookie.
If the swimsuit fits you must admit! - The Chewbacca corralary
Or Lake Ontario.
Gorgeous! And so green! Everything is yellow/red/orange here in New England.
Grinch orgy!
There's already a lot more yellow (this was from 3-4 days ago) and the sycamores just go straight to brown, but we've got a week or so to go before the fall colors really come out.
For my showbiz announcement, retirement, and reenlistment:

Unless it comes with a chorus line of Spiro Agnew impersonators, I really can't get behind this one.
The Nattering Nanettes of Negativity! And not just a chorus line, a kick line!
All the upfists!
He's playing lead sax.
Maybe I'll stay for the opener...
The appetizers are worth it.
~imagine me in a 1940's outfit, cracking chewing gum as I take your calls~
No, Mr. Zanuck, Mr. gallbladder can't take your call at the moment, he's in conference with Howard Hughes.
Now THAT would be the ultimate. Telling Zanuck to go fuck himself.
No Mr. Zanuck, not a movie. Mr. Hughes needs opinions on a new aviation venture. Can you hold?

How do you be your best self when it would probably get you shot and thrown off a bridge like Rosa Luxemburg?
Our neck of the woods would never be the same.
One version of that for Wonkette, another for your locale.
Move to the desert?
Wear a fancy hat and write poetry?
[walks and waves hand dismissively off stage]
No listen, I'm done with it.
Here have a donut.
You always divine the way.
You see, this is all it took.
Itβs the little things.
And the inebriants.
Agreed. Fuck 'em.
Yep, fuck the citizens who voted for me. I gots mine, bitches!
Are you FOTUS or his new press sec? And why would a Canadian care at this point?
So give the rest of us a chance with it then.
Are you kidding?
Wait, there's a call from Fritz Lang! He wants you to play every part in "The Iliad".
He does?
He's offering a producer's credit too!
[readies pen]
Just have to work out how to stage the fight between Achilles and Hector.
FIGHT CLUB technique: one throws itself down a concrete stairwell. In its underwear. Eleven times.
Shadow puppets!
I'll stick around.
Or, just out hector Hector.
People just have no respect for genius anymore.
Never recognized its own time or its own province. Or something like that.
Fucking 65 years of producing the show and THIS is what I get?
"if you didn't know
this is called The Show"

I'll talk to my board and see if they'll let me put in a nomination for you in the Honorable Mention Hall of Fame.
FINALLY: Someone who appreciates talent!
The people who hand out the participation trophies.
I think Velshi is way in over his head and abilities.
lol
No you don't
He just interviewed Maria Ressa, the Nobel laureate (the real one, I mean)
He was much better with the OH students than Jen Psaki was with her audience in Maine
She had a bunch of dead spots
She was brilliant! He seems to not be well connected mentally with a lot of what she was saying and started spouting a whole lot of what I thought was amateur unknowledgeable shit.

There might be cameras that photographed the incident. Check around. Hope that the police can catch the bastard.
There have to be
Theyβre Flocking practically everything now
Maybe a phone call to whatever precinct is in charge of that intersection for the footage
