My thoughts also. I’ve been working on, “I’m glad you made it back home,” or some variation.
Also too? It is criminal (or should be) the way we treat veterans in this country. I was a service member (Army/infantry, but not a combat vet) post-Vietnam, I served with the guys that fought and came back home, and I find it disgusting*.
*Not referring to urban myths but actual lack of care and support issues.
Since the OT is somewhat in our future, I chose here to share this from the SF Chronicle. I cracked up at the "David Brooks Special" and kept laughing from there.
It seems odd to have National Sundae Day on a Saturday but considering that we had multiple Caterdays during the Dog Days of August, it's not surprising.
Back in the days of Pogo, Churchy La Femme used to get his shell in a twist over Friday the 13th, especially when it fell on a Monday and cast a gloom over the whole week.
Beautiful cat, Robyn, and a great photo. No, I'm not watching the video. Beloved Meccalopolis and I ran our errands, but once again (yes, it's happened before), Aetna fucked up and he didn't get the second shingles shot. I asked him if it might be better to go to the VA. Oh, and I noticed the sign for 10% off any purchase over $10 for veterans at the dollar store, so he got that. We also picked up a lifter for canning jars at the thrift shop.
I hope none of the veterans who inhabit Wonkette is without a roof. It's so unjust.
Good day, beloved Wonketteers. I love and appreciate you all and I bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace. Please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get the new vaccine as soon as possible (I had my PCP add mine and my flu shot to my medical records), avoid indoor and crowded outdoor gatherings and when you must meet, remove masks only to eat, drink, and take quick photos, and stay the fuck away from me and everyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because I love you, too. Do this in memory of our late friend Treg among over seven million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel, especially ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Stay safe.
Dear Ms. Editrix, I demand that Doc Zoom post his Armistice day essay/article today. It won't seem the same without it. I'm sure it brings good luck to anyone who reads it, like a rhetorical chain letter but in a GOOD way.
"Mostly their deal is that they are super religious and not allowed to talk to anyone outside their group and routinely kick people out and never allow them to talk to or see their families again. 0/10 would not join."
"I hope that you are okay and I sure do wish that our government would stop sending teenagers off to die, be maimed or psychologically scarred in conflicts far less likely to impact anyone in the United States as much as the fact that we still don’t have universal health care.”
What's the story behind Grimes (what an awful name) being unable to serve Musk with child support papers? He's richer than rich, why is he hiding?
You mean Grimes (what a non-talent)?
All I know about her is she's had 3 of Musk's 11 kids.
“[S]o I will say “I hope that you are okay…”

hey Robyn! by coincidence, Mutahar/SomeOrdinaryGamers made a deep web video which discusses, among other things, the mummified lady from Love Has Won.
the love has won bit starts around 19:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olfsgIW4M2I
I think I need to fire up ye olde tor browser and see what fresh hell it dredges up.

Well, shit. lemme see if there's a non-paywalled version
And the list of suggested headlines at the end is snark supremo.

They do not have ice cream sundaes in Portugal. To my knowledge anyway.
There's definitely gelato though. And dick-shaped waffles.
Gelato is amazing.
"Mostly their deal is that they are super religious and not allowed to talk to anyone outside their group and routinely kick people out and never allow them to talk to or see their families again. 0/10 would not join."
so, no social media presence? lame
US media is an absolute joke.
MSM: Trump’s 91 felonies and attempted coup don’t matter. It’s what the people want. We have to let them decide….
But if Joe Biden Trips again he should be forced to bow out of the race.
they're complicit. instead of doing their jobs they sell drama.
honestly, I sometimes yearn for the olden days of a boring news anchor with robotic delivery.
I grew up watching David Brokaw. No complaints.
Which one? The Indiana orthopedist or the professor at Azusa State?
TOM Brokaw...
I meant David Brinkley.
Whoops, my bad.
"I hope that you are okay and I sure do wish that our government would stop sending teenagers off to die, be maimed or psychologically scarred in conflicts far less likely to impact anyone in the United States as much as the fact that we still don’t have universal health care.”
Thank you, Robyn.
This is Ohio Republicans telling the people: Fuck you, we don't care how you voted.

FUCK you and the horses you rode in on.
The lot of them don't give a rat's ass about life. Sluts must be punished. Period.
I guess it's really no different than the Colorado Sunday mega-concerts I used to attend back in the day.
They were always on a Saturday.
