Our local Home Depot is a friggin' mess. It can't hire or keep employees. Half of them are stoned and the other half started a couple of days ago and haven't been trained.
Contractors are pissed and making the trip to Lowe's instead.
Three hours of a stone tablet? Is there THAT little going on, no Nice Times stories that exist that can be shared? I'd take a bobsledding Grandma story or a recipe post, even.
We just... waiting around until they don't release any relevant Epstein files, face no consequences for not releasing everything like the law demands, and, finally, discuss how it didn't change a goddamn thing and they're all going to get away with raping children as we're all powerless to bring any of them to justice?
Thanks, Editrix, for recommending Simon Rosenberg's Hopium Chronicles substack. It gives me realistic hope when I'm barely keeping my nose above water.
Alito is likely prominently featured in them with tons of photos of catholic school girl/priest cosplay with lots of mortification and butt stuff. Somewhat mundane, according to Epstein's contemporaneous notes when compared to others proclivities, but he did note that it was a challenge finding a plaid mini-skirt in Sam's size.
The thought of Thomas hovering above me, naked and ready to instigate sex just dried everything up so thoroughly that I think even my blood stopped flowing.
I guess it's true that the trmp administration is the most "transparent in history." Transparently criminal and lying and covering up every fucking thing they do. Transparent! It's lost all meaning!
My only regret is that the video didn't end with Strickland then punching Adin Ross (the sum total of all the universe's stupidity standing next to him) square in the face.
No self-respecting pugilist is going to have ANYTHING to do with those "fights".
It's impossible for me to articulate just how offensive using the White House to host these fist fights actually is, and I am rarely at a loss for words..
Donora was 1948. The previous year was the one in which I was born — a whole different disaster, if you believed my mother’s disaster tale. But thank you for mentioning it. Your link to the story you wrote about it was worth tapping on. Good work!
Sad December songs anyone?

Heard this the other day ( (old)cover of Depeche Mode song). Chorus seems appropriate for the times.

Will give it a listen, thanks.
The K-pop world specializes in these special sad songs for the season, here's a new one from veteran group fromis 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZB9JLfIw_Q
Thanks!
Here's a nice times bit:

I didn’t know Kirk-Fest was going on. It seems like the worst people are tearing into each other. You hate to see it.
Ugh, nuke it from space...
OT: Bondi won't release shit today, and likely what sanitized bits do get released it will be at 11:59:59 EST.

"Bondi won't release shit today" Ex-lax?
She already announced that DOJ won’t release everything.
The forensic question: "What's your motive, Pam?"
A Home Depot in Los Angeles installed three high-pitch noise-emitting machines outside to deter day laborers from seeking work there, causing them to suffer headaches and nausea. You know who else it deters from Home Depot? CUSTOMERS! You dumb bastards. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/noise-machines-installed-by-la-home-depot-torture-for-day-laborers-advocates-say/ar-AA1SD0DK
We as a nation learn nothing from studying history. Let's hear about more stuff that's going on right now, like this.

My Grandma started a bobsled team for the Senior Olympics.... they made a movie about it.
it was called Drool Runnings.
That's mean to grandmothers (and elders) and a really cheap joke.
Sorry 'bout that.
I'm still stupid enough to believe the dam will leak if not break
Hope isn't stupid, hon. And there is certainly a possibility that leakage could occur.
Don't call me hon.
Sorry, I was trying to be nice. Don't call yourself stupid.
Don't condescend.
I assure you there was zero condescention in my non-comment.

Brings new meaning to “a living wage”, now don’t it?
Really appreciate your labor history essays, comrade. One Big Union!
OT lulz

It occurs to me that Fuckface McDistraction and his band of murderous infants are peerlessly incapable of getting ahead of it.
Are you giving me hope? I could use it.
They have never--and WILL never--admit to any wrongdoing in advance of an investigation.
Nor after one apparently.
They haven’t figured out how to clean up the photos 🤢🤮
Spraying Windex on their computer screens isn't doing it for them.
Why can't they just "bleach" it like Hillary did? 🙄
They are also peterlessly incapable.
After all this frigging time? What went wrong?
Get ready for SCOTUS to say, "Yes he's violating the law regarding the Epstein files, but nobody has standing to sue."
Wonder if any of them are in the files.

I'll bet Coke Pubes is in there.
I've asked that many times. Why would they NOT be? Nazis all.
My money's on Thomas and Kavanaugh.
The thought of Thomas hovering above me, naked and ready to instigate sex just dried everything up so thoroughly that I think even my blood stopped flowing.
Oh, I got enough of that during the Anita Hill testimony to do some lasting damage.
If I were to speculate, it would be Thomas, Alito and Roberts.
Roberts has perv face.
That creepy smile says, "you can trust meeeeeeeee."
Indeed.
I guess it's true that the trmp administration is the most "transparent in history." Transparently criminal and lying and covering up every fucking thing they do. Transparent! It's lost all meaning!
The emperor's new clothes are transparent.
Unfortunately for our eyeballs.
Eeeeeew.
Found a fortune cookie on my kitchen counter, cracked it open: “Your mind is filled with new ideas.”
How exciting, I thought.
But then I did a quick inventory of the new ideas and realized 95+% of them were bad.
Sigh.
But that other 5%, that's the good stuff.
100% of mine are unoriginal...
and bad 😔
Don't feel bad. That's around average for bad idea percentage.
I bought a ticket for the powerball drawing. Just one. Last time it was 10.... that was a bad idea.
besides, I only need to win it once!

I typically do not take advice from people who get punched in the head for a living. But in this case, broken clock and all that.

They should refer to it as The Cocktagon
