Oh wow, the rank and file must be so embarrassed. At least I hope they are, but sardonic humor would also be a response.

I don't think you have to go back too many years before that percentage approaches 100.

Fun times.

NYT has an article on Cosby's ongoing legal issues. I still feel broken hearted by his actions. A good looking rich and famous man does not have to drug women to get laid. And he was so beloved. Tragic, in the fatal flaw way.

Well, that was a neuron that didn't fire. Sorry I missed it.

No he wouldn't. It was white people that did this.

We seem to keep finding evidence that long distance travel was pretty common in ancient times.

I think they've already achieved that.

ha, I have been a museum worker.

Sign from the Boston women's march: "I like my government like I like my coffee--not in my vagina." Giggle.

Trump doctrine: make as much money as possible while destroying the United States.

My almost ancient galaxy 9+ used to have a grey cat emoji. I cat sit for a neighbor sometimes, and was replying to her thank you text with my cat emoji...and now the cat emoji is orange. I have a grey tabby. I protest this attempted erasure of grey tabbys. Not that I don't love orange bois.

If a woman really *wants* to be a sahm, she needs a good solid contract, a salary, and a retirement plan, all paid for by her partner. My mother's generation learned the hard way.

so she's still got that going for her...so long, puppy killer

How did his tongue not burst into flames?

Now we know how it feels to internalize the criminality of one's country.

Is it naive to think that a publicly funded pharmaceutical company, with guaranteed medicare and medicaid business, could be sustainable?

ha ha ha suck it, Bezos.

The algorithms, for all their faults, are an undeniable source of amusement. I browse the NYT headlines on the way to Wordle and the ads it's showing me today are: a $3500 "vision pro" rotary something "one pass full wrap in a spin." and a 60W object that looks like a grill? Who am I?

okay.

The Tempest. It was the first play I read out of interest instead of school assignment.

Paternal was DC bureau chief for the Chicago Daily News; maternal was a traffic manager for National Vulcanized Fibre and had his own small trucking business. Paternal grandma was a society lady, maternal worked for a life insurance company and retired to be a gentleman farmer. Mostly bougie.

John Hammond has gone. I met him once, decades ago when I was hanging out in the East Village with my boyfriend doing karate shows in cabarets. I was surprised that he had a difficult stutter--but not when he sang.

Murica has always hated smart women. This Murica hates anybody but white christians. What is it going to take? Two decent, smart black women passed over. Talarico seems okay, but we did not need another white religious man in the senate. He should have dropped out and picked another office.

I need a push to learn Linux anyway.

yes indeed but grumble grumble dammit Jasmine Crockett was robbed

I have met uncastrated male goats. Not only do they behave badly, they stink--but they don't stink as much as Kristi the puppy killer.

This is all true. It's an expensive state, but I wouldn't live anywhere else in the US. If I was rich and free I would move to Scotland. I have friends in Edinborough.

appropriate for the current zeitgeist
