Any Wonker worth their toe-beans can draw connections between something in this article and whatever they want to talk about without breaking a sweat.
Example: Gryffn is drinking water by dipping her paw in the bowl and slurping it off her fur, while MΓ‘ebh is eating dry food by scooping pieces out of the bowl and throwing it on the floor, and then eating it.
It is a good thing that Mamdani did not tap the camera glass with a sodden paw, and also that MΓ‘ebh was not trying to eat that food from the balcony of her NYC penthouse.
Dok knows what heβs gotten himself into. He is the prof sitting at the old wooden desk in the front of the classroom with his feet up, reading a newspaper that he rattles when we get too obstreperous. Rules for Radical Commentors are posted at the front of the classroom, and he keeps the banhammer at reach, but rarely needs to do more than clear his throat or occasionally lower the paper and look at us from over the top of his glasses.
You should know, though, that the grownups have stopped coming around during Night Shift, and donβt even bother yelling, βDonβt make me come up there!β anymore.
It used to be like that for me. Now, it's so bad that I open a tab, and immediately forget what website I wanted to go to, or what I wanted to search for.
And this is why i have umpteen million tabs open at any given time. If i close them, i will absolutely - la la la - forget them completely.
Edit: oops, i need a relevant tie in. Okay, some of those tabs are on real estate openings in various locations. I like doing research for entertainment purposes. It might be time to compare some of the amazingly tiny apartments in NYC with some of these mansions.
I was at the Farmers Market and a person dropped something. Went to pick it up and they said βOh you didnβt have to do that. Thank youβ. I told them dropping things is the only way I get my exercises in these days.

Lord, I certainly hope not!!! KEEP IT GOING!!!! And EVERYWHERE!!! Time to take back the cities!
Why in the one you get yuge tax on even properties worth 100k, cause no income tax dig, an in the other you will be actually underwater in a few years.
I don't know about Texas, but I know one person who moved here (Upstate SC) from Florida because of the out of sight property taxes in Florida. When her husband died 4 years ago, she sold their house because it was too big for one person. She would have bought a condo nearby, as she had, and still has, so many friends there, but looked elsewhere because of the insurance. She had one friend already here, and since moving here, has made many more. Some of her Florida friends want to sell their houses and move, but can't get buyers because of the interest rates. Maybe they will get those buyers now - all those wealthy people fleeing NYC (actually fleeing from second homes in NYC).
Ta, Dok. We call our east village tenement the pied-Γ -terre, but we walk up four flights and actually live there, and we're renters, not owners. Warehousing apartments SUCKS. I'm so glad we elected Zohran.

Poor Dok.
Boise doesn't have any 500M penthouses.

You know us hippies will make it a free for all regardless. We roll like that.
I just double checked what's in my closet and since I do not see my neon yellow leisure suit I think I know what decade I'm now in...
At least the correct century.

I literally just stood up to do something, and before I could even take a step, I forgot what it was. So, I sat back down.
Iβm sure it will come back to me.

boomerangs usually do
*Whap!* "Oh, that's right."
If it's not going to the bathroom I'm sure you'll be fine.
It can become a real problem when you fiber too much.
I do that so much that it's become an exercise regime.
I was at the Farmers Market and a person dropped something. Went to pick it up and they said βOh you didnβt have to do that. Thank youβ. I told them dropping things is the only way I get my exercises in these days.
In the hospital they wanted to give me a laxative.
I said "Over my dead body!"
They looked at me like "That can be arranged."
There's not really much point in it then.
What day is what? Where am I? My hands feel like two balloons!

He's so cute in that pic!

You may feel a little pin prick.
Wait, did you just call me a prick??
No, but you may feel a little sick.

While I wait for the OT to start drinking heavily I'll just note that "The Millionaire Tax" in Massachusetts is working.

by an amazing coincidence most of my bitching has been limited to real estate so i managed to be on topic anyway.
I felt like I was taking crazy pills! But at this point, thatβs any day ending in βYβ.
I expect that the person in charge of sacking you will also be sacked.
The people who sacked the people for the credits have also now been sacked...
It was the Llamas. Theyβre real troublemakers.
My sister was sacked by a moose π« β¦. In a Manhattan penthouse .
That must have been a hell of a play!
And introducing RALPH, the Wonder Llama!
My friend did a post about how to grow the perfect llamas:

You mean "pied a terre" is not the name of a cocktail?
It means "My foot is dirty."

It's ok. This week has been a long decade.
Holy shit, then what do we call this past decade????
A near total loss.
The Dark (or Orange) Ages.

Does that come with ketchup?
The Ice Age.
ICE Age
Clever, you.
Those who were supposed to be doing the sacking have been sacked.
We touch our ears like mafia dons to indicate our intentions.
Anything that inconveniences NY real estate ghouls just tickles me plumb to death.
"Former Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino"
Never was Twitter's CEO. She was the one doing Elon's dirty work the whole time while Elon was only pretending to have stepped down, right?
California, if youβre listening to, weβre ready for a wealth tax. And redo prop 13 to get those undead fucking corporations off the damned thing.

He needs to follow up on his promise to ban helicopters, preferably before one crashes into my house.
Might this be a good time to ever-so-slightly tickle the fuel tax on private jets- now while the masses are being thrashed by Dementoβs war?

Texas and Florida realtor phones are ringing

Boatloads of money media are trying to declare Mamdani a failure; money is a little bit scared right now.
So weird they are not telling people to Give Him A Chance and Let Him Grow Into The Job the way they are for every Republican fuckwad.
Wonder why?
(That was the sarcasms. I do not wonder why. Fucking press corpse).
SO amused to see the Yaccarino cunt in an anxiety attack.
Once again the right wing gets hysterical.
It's 5 am, do you know where your sun is?
Ta, Dok. We call our east village tenement the pied-Γ -terre, but we walk up four flights and actually live there, and we're renters, not owners. Warehousing apartments SUCKS. I'm so glad we elected Zohran.
RHODE Island has enacted a similar tax on second homes over a certain value. They are calling it the Taylor Swift tax.
I like this guy. Yay.
