The only difference between Fatou and me in salad-eating technique is that I'm shoveling it in with a fork. It's the same lettuce-hanging-out-the-mouth thing, though.
What did anyone expect when Hegseth's experience in managing defense is non-existent? But he did work for Fox, so Trump expects he'll man up. Both of them are useless.
What I always loved about Mrs Raymond was how she claimed abortion was violence against women, and then she had so much plastic surgery that you could Frankenstein up a second Patricia Heaton if such a thing was necessary (spoiler: it isn’t).
god I hope this album is good. I haven't really loved one for far too long now (read: Scarlett's Walk). Abnormally Attracted to Sin was good, just not great.
Now I'm interested in Patricia Heaton's counsel to friends on the right when Josh Shapiro's home was torched; when Paul Pelosi was beaten with a hammer; when Melissa and Mark Hortman were murdered and John and Yvette Hoffman were shot by a man with a list of 25 other targets; when Donald Trump was raging for Obama's birth certificate; and when tourists erected a gallows at The Capitol and the president suggested they had good cause to use it for the vice president. You know. To see how convincingly she asked them to go on with gratitude.
JFC Tony comparing yourself to Cronkite and his era is dumbfounding. That's when journalism had credibility and respect. News filled with truth and facts. This shit today is infotainment lacking in truthful info. Stop pretending you're not a magat. I hope you and Weiss take CBS down and that follows you for life. Katy you may want to rethink your choices.
Texas Tech gonna ban the gay stuff out of all undergraduate course work?
Whoa! I am almost tempted to relocate to Lubbock TX and audit the Introduction to Literature classes to check out how the professor handles the whole Achilles/Patroclus/Briseis love triangle. That professor is gonna hate it every time I raise my hand.
But don't worry Professor Whoever You Are; I am only "almost tempted" to move to Lubbock. One look at the Lubbock TX city homepage is all I need to realize LUBBOCK SUCKS. I simply am too spoiled a big city boy to consider moving to someplace so completely flat, dry and baptist as Lubbock.
All you gotta do is pass through, cruise the parking lot at one of the SIX Walmarts and check out the bumper stickers you will find there.
Everyone who says "you cannot judge a book by it's cover" has never been to Lubbock TX.
You don't even need to stay overnight at one of the many motels and talk to the friendly office/lobby staff to get a handle on Lubbock. All you need is to re watch *No Country For Old Men*
Cailyn Green, a junior studying human development, told the Texas Tribune that the university’s decision prohibits students from accessing “an honest education.”
Jen Shelton, an associate professor of English at Texas Tech, called the memo a “betrayal.”
Michael Tilson Thomas, an American conductor who grew up in public from an imperious wunderkind into one of the grand old men of classical music, died April 22 at his home in San Francisco. He was 81.
Mr. Tilson Thomas was best known for his long tenure as the music director of the San Francisco Symphony, where he served from 1995 to 2020. He was also the founder and music director of the New World Symphony, a youth orchestra in Miami Beach created in 1987, whose best performances were on a level with the finest professional ensembles.
He was widely considered one of the most distinguished American conductors of his generation. In addition to making more than 100 recordings of both rare and familiar classical repertory, he created valuable instructional series for television and radio.
Huh, the United Arab Emirates just announced they were leaving OPEC. They're the third-largest oil producer in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia is first, then Iraq).
"The people who always say it's "too soon" to politicize a school shooting started politicizing the hell out of this shooting about a minute after it happened."
Reporters should keep Michael Mora's handy list of Trump insults with them at all times, and just say "you mean when democrats said this" and read one.
Heh-heh-heh... 69. But like seriously, that's how old Fatou (hed gif gorilla) is this year. https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/fatou-celebrates-69
And here is your hed gif: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/72c5c87d-ac3f-4858-b59f-59ac91d22053
Nice...
69? Still a kid to this geezer.
Lookin’ good at 69, Fatou!
Happity Birfdee, Mr. Go-Rilla!
Eat well!
🧁
Trying to rhyme with sixty nine
Has me walk a real fine line
I don't want to cast aspersions
On Fatou's old age diversions
Glad to see her fat and merry and
Thriving as an ape sextarian
"Merry and"
"sextarian"
Stunning
Thanks.
Still can’t count to 70 without cracking a smile.
Don't mess with Madame Fatou! She can be a crotchety old bint!
Misplaced non-comment goes here.
Nice.
The only difference between Fatou and me in salad-eating technique is that I'm shoveling it in with a fork. It's the same lettuce-hanging-out-the-mouth thing, though.
I don't want her.
You can have her.
She's Fatou for me.
Here's to Fatou!
Mmmmmmm…salad.
Rabbit food!
Gorilla food!
69 is Divine!
Heh, heh, heh . . .
The first time I saw that movie, I mean I had been cackling all along, but when she started yelling that out I just lost it
That scene was hilarious.
Happy birthday Fatou!
I will say I'm much more interested in what Tori Amos thinks (and sings and plays) than what Patricia Heaton thinks.
Fatou: "I hate this diet!"

I agree. There are always some gems sprinkled throughout her albums but "Scarlet" for me was the last of her initial hot streak.

Did Peggy Sue leave Lubbock once she realized that Buddy was never coming back?
All hail The King of Hollywood Blvd! Dude had me crying (tears of laughter, for once) into my coffee!
How can Texas Tech stay accredited if it bans ideas and topics allowed at other schools?

From Evan's TAB today:
Cailyn Green, a junior studying human development, told the Texas Tribune that the university’s decision prohibits students from accessing “an honest education.”
Jen Shelton, an associate professor of English at Texas Tech, called the memo a “betrayal.”

It’s a total betrayal, and a sign of how constitutionally lapsed Tx has become after thirty years of unopposed pro-rapist testosterone.

What is he going to do to make TX get rid of all it's wind farms?
These deals aren't working out quite right for ol' dipshit. There's more to this, I think.
And dooms our country to go down with the oil tanker.

Yes, he will be missed. I fondly remember the time he was with us in Buffalo.
RIP MTT
When i was a little kid, he was the hottest, new thing.
He was always open to new music, like conducting a session with John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra: https://www.discogs.com/master/72293-Mahavishnu-Orchestra-With-The-London-Symphony-Orchestra-Michael-Tilson-Thomas-Apocalypse

FUCK OFF KKKAROLINE. I thought she was going on maternity leave. (not that her replacement will be any better)
Her demon isn't due until May.
Poor kid.
