OT,sorry. On last night's NBC news they gave oxygen to the "Trump is better for economy" myth while interviewing some MAGA brisket guy, they remarked that he blamed Biden and Harris' policies for high food prices, and they just left it at that, no "which policies?', nope, just the end of the segment.
"a lovely rented loft that looks like it was purpose-built for a single-season early ‘00s nighttime soap about cool twenty-somethings working in advertising and doing fucks."
Great...now I'm imagining a Yr Wonkette-casted reboot of 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑟𝑡𝑦𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔. Ok, who's gonna play Miles Drentell? Not me - I'm not tall, thin, and I can't do that thing that David Clennon did, where you never blink, ever, during every on camera moment.
I just came back from a wedding in Chicago, what a fantastic city! Great architecture, Millennium Park, the freakin' FIELD MUSEUM..... However, I took my mask off for the wedding and got the Plague for the first time. WEAR THOSE MASKS, fellow Wonkers! And have fun! PS The weather was fine, actually.
I no longer live in The Chicago Area these days, but there are some great places to go if you like arts and/or sciences and don't mind dropping some $$ for admission--my top picks are the (above-mentioned) Art Institute, the Field Museum, the Adler Planetarium, and the Shedd Aquarium (the last two conveniently located more or less next to one another). Window shopping on Michigan Avenue/Water Tower Place can also be fun and gives ample opportunities for critique of our capitalist system.

Does Chad do performance art where his entire piece is living a bird cage w the NYT's op Ed section that letting nature take its course? Bc I would find that pleasing.
So JDVance’s plane had an emergency landing -He’s OK - but they are going to have to replace the couch in the First Class lounge - Donald shoulda loaned him The Epstein (I know that Dumb Force One is in hock) but geeze - a bit early for JD to sit in front of the emergency exit - but whadda I know - Ask Mike Pence -
Masks? My first image was of those fancy gooey things we put on our faces at night to save our skin. Not the pandemicky kind.
Are YOU better off than you were four years ago? (Not 2019. 20-fucking-20.)

Stacy’s mom has got it going on, so…

I hope you packed horse paste and dewormer!
Hahaha!
I totally needed this beautiful, witty, and unhinged writing today. Brava, Ms. Benincasa, and thank you.
Grazie grazie mi amor!
VD's plane just had an emergency landing. Spunk in the door seals!
Those Trump planes aren’t too reliable it seems.
Well, I mean, first -- Boeing, IINM
But also? This is what happens when you do not pay your maintenance bills.
But, to a certain type, very fetching!
Forks? Should we bring forks?
AND BRING SPORKS
Just don't stick them in the outlets.
Don’t forget to go to the Art Institute in Chicago to see Georges Seurat’s “Sunday Afternoon in the Park, “ aka “La Grande Jatte.”

Don't forget being able to go inside a Nazi Sub at the Museum of Science and Industry in Hyde Park.
wowwwww

Been a ton of years since I went to the M of S and I.
Does the Foucalt Pendulum still swing every day?
Don't they have to shut it off when the joint is closed?
No idea. But they surely have to reset and reswing it every morning.
Going to the DNC? Here's what to bring!

Who fucking cares? Seriously.
We all understood. Lighten up.
Say, is that a dangling preposition you got there? Ok, kid, pull over. I'm going to need to see your Library Card.
Well, actually it's a phrasal verb. Kinda' like "fuck off."
third breakfasts are the best.
AN' DON' FERGIT TO GRAB AN EYE-TALIAN BEEF OR 6!
Mine, I like "hot n juicy, and a big stack a napkins."
avian puppet op-ed columnist Chad the Bird
GOT to be superior to the NYT op-ed page.
It's like if Mo Dowd were a really chill bro who also was a bird puppet and liked all of us.
