Ever since I was very short I have adored Audrey Hepburn. The woman was a stage shaman, turning stories into the dramatic magic made right before your very eyes.
Long may we honor her name and overwhelmingly envy her amazing cheek bones...
Happy 15th Immiversary to me! It was 15 years ago today that I immigrated to the UK. Back then, I was sad to leave the U.S. because Obama was president and things were looking up. There have been some really bad bouts of homesickness early on, but I got better. Now, there's no fucking way I'd go back to the U.S., even for a visit. I truly miss my kids and I have grandkids in elementary school I haven't even met in person, but I don't plan on going back until it isn't a fucked-up third-world dictatorship anymore.
Besides, even though I'm still a U.S. citizen, I'm probably on their radar and would get thrown in jail as soon as I'd land in Minneapolis (or wherever Two-Names Mullin decides I should land).
We celebrated last night at the pub and tonight plan on staying in to continue re-watching "Man in the High Castle."
Thank you for introducing "Ducks" into my life. I will alway think of my life as a time "before Ducks" and the time "after Ducks". Katherine Hepburn was most certainly a duck wearing a human suit. Q-w-aaaaa-ck!
Imagine if Kamala Harris had crashed the economy, started a needless war with no end in sight, and her ONLY concern was building a ballroom to throw expensive parties for her rich friends.
Something about the devil you know is better than the woman who might be a tremendous leader. About 1/2 of American citizens have shit for brains and/or are hateful bigots and hypocrites. There’s no other way to explain voting for a man who literally is doing all the things his base and much of the media baselessly screamed might happen under Harris. But you can’t get average people to admit mistakes, or ever agree that an intelligent, capable, energetic and articulate woman is the right choice versus a vile, corrupt, petty, deeply flawed conman. I still can’t make sense of it. I was able to, somewhat, in 2016. They wanted an “outsider,” who wasn’t afraid to actually shake things up and maybe, finally, make life better for voters somehow. He didn’t. But the reasoning was enough to keep me and some others from totaling losing faith in humanity. But a second time? After what he did? And now what he’s doing? Yeah, it’s had a very unfortunate impact on my outlook on people. There are fewer and fewer people I truly respect or admire anymore.
“I understand Artists are getting ‘the yips’ having to do with their performance,” Trump posted to his social media platform Truth Social Saturday, adding that he was thinking of bringing “the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists.’”
To those (few) still planning to perform: Trump thinks you are overpaid and Third Rate, with sarcasm quotes around "Artists"
Gas is down a little. How is that possible with the Strait still closed? Easy. None of this depends on the Strait. It all depends on how much profit oil companies and oil governments want to make. Short supply just makes it easier to manipulate the market. The whole idea that we are out of oil is simply ridiculous, and has been magnified by the entire commercial media, who are invested in oil. The reason gas is down, is because Trump couldn't find his way out of this dilemma with the entire power of a technological war machine bigger than the world has ever known, and the whole gas empire wants to keep him in place and give comfort to an inactive congress...
I can't really make a definitive call on this since I don't have friends on the ground in New Jersey, but having Gov. Mikie Sherrill bring in state troopers, including horse-mounted, riot-ready assholes, to beat the crap out of citizens protesting inhumane conditions inside the fed's concentration camp at Delaney Hall is definitely "not a good look" for Sherrill.
This stuck in my craw more than anything I've read so far this morning, and I need to vent.
The fuck went to Walter Reed for his now monthly soon to be weekly "excellent health" exam (can The Universe hurry this shit up already?) PRETTY FUCKING PLEASE!? While he was there did he go visit any of the wounded that he seriously injured with his shitass fuckery in Iran? I will not change that verbiage because it's fucking true. He's responsible for their injuries and there's no debate on this. Did he visit a single wounded warrior or "war fighter"? NO, HE DID NOT. Has the fuck who labeled them "war fighter's" stepped one toe inside WR? NO, HE HAS NOT. There are certain things I'd like to write in this little box, but I can't. I'm partial to you guys and I'd like to stay for a little longer if that's OK with you. In closing I will say this - the fucks can go fuck themselves.
I’ve posted numerous evening Zelenskyys where he is visiting wounded troops, if not the front line; it’s just common decency, leadership 101. No-brainer, and yet.
Zelenskyy is the very definition of a gentleman and a scholar. The US fucks are the exact opposite of that. If I may I would like to attach labels like they attached labels to our troops. Simply call them fucking idiot's and dishonorable thieves'. It fits.
Today? Can we hope and pray (if you're a praying kinda person) that the end is nigh? I want every single electronic device I own to go off with the blessed news - TODAY! FUCKING PRETTY PLEASE?
Whether it’s Obama eating mustard, Biden eating ice cream, or Talerico eating a vegan burrito, you can always count to the media to police the food Democrats eat.
That breakfast burrito was NOT vegan, it was eggs and cheese. Ours is a vegan household, so we KNOW. The complicit media can all go fuck themselves with rusty garden weasels.
Just by numbers, we people should hold the power, but we don’t for some reason. We seem to be very tolerant of all sorts of abuse because we’re bigots(?).
Senator Dan Sullivan Has a New Challenger in Alaska: Dan Sullivan
Two candidates with the same name will be on the ballot seeking the same seat in the state’s primary. “It’s going to be confusing,” one Republican said.
The campaign arm of Senate Republicans, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, suggested that Dan J. Sullivan was a plant by Democrats intended to confuse voters and siphon support from Senator Sullivan, a former Marine who worked in the State Department under President George W. Bush.
If some voters mistakenly vote for Dan J. Sullivan thinking they’re voting for Senator Sullivan, it could make the difference in a tight race, political observers said.
But Alaskans in both parties were skeptical it was a ploy. Alaska simply has a lot of Dan Sullivans, they said.
Apparently the story dates back to May 2025. Still interesting, but hardly new, and interesting in that it shows how media sites raid each other's stories.
I've seen the "RUMP" watch story floating around various places the past couple of days but wasn't that a story quite awhile back? I honestly don't think I'm psychic but I DO remember the pink watch bought by the MAGAt couple and she was so upset when she noticed the "T" was missing.
Watched ‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ on Netflix and I rather enjoyed it. It was funny, heartfelt, sad yet uplifting. Perfect escape in these trying times.
Some of my favorite scenes in this movie are the ones with Virginia Weidler. Her rendition of Lydia the Tattooed Lady rivals Groucho.

Kamala Harris bought cookware with her own money and the media collectively shit the bed.

OMG, ARUGULA!
Not to mention Michelle Obama.
What the fuck was she doing having arms like that?!...
She actually wanted kids to eat vegetables!
If it ain’t deep fried in hog lard, it’s weird.
I read professor Robert Reich article this morning. Capital vs Labor.
Oligarchy reigns.
From his article:
When you adjust for inflation, hourly wages have risen 3 percent since the end of 2019. Corporate profits have risen 50 percent.
We KNOW what the problem is, several of them in fact, yet no one with power will do anything about it.
Just by numbers, we people should hold the power, but we don’t for some reason. We seem to be very tolerant of all sorts of abuse because we’re bigots(?).

Everyone needs a therapy octopus.
Just remember to hide the keys or put yer octopus on the car insurance. "Remarkably Bright" turns out to be faint praise.
