Someone at The Economist doesn't know what the term "de facto" means.

Gavin Newsom is leader only of himself.

Just three good apps/extensions (multiple platforms) I finally found :

If you're tired of Apple Music's fuzzy playback: Echoes (standalone library and player)

No ads or reels on Facebook: F B Purity (browser extension)

No AI on Google: Hide AI Overview (Firefox extension, not sure of others)

Walley, Goffe and Dixwell Ave. intersect in New Haven . . . the most extremely conusing intersection in Connecticut.

Is this the most confusing intersection in southern New England? From New Haven, Connecticut. Imagine the horror, driving through this with cars behind you!

A thing about unrestrained evil: it doesn't just repeat, it escalates, and ICE is the same.

Ha hah!

O, for the love of peace I wish Gavin Newsom would shut up, but since he won't, I wish people would stop talking about him & showing videos of him desperately not shutting up.

There're better people to highlight: Robert Reich, AOC, Bernie, artists & small heroines & heroes everywhere.

Old joke and a classic...

I mean . . . wow.

In my twenties I'd never include the comma within the quote ("Shazam" said Gluey Glue — not a real example) because I'd decided it was grammatically insensible . . . but eventually I had to accept that people were reading that and thinking I was dumb.

Sometimes, English grammar sucks.

Sorry, but tonight I've been doing something far more enjoyable: shoveling snow in the dark.

Just a reminder that the guy who is delivering the State of the Union address is a convicted felon mentioned in the Epstein files over a million times.

The state of the union is a disaster.

How to stop a dictator: "To save democracy, you have to actually talk about democracy."

Solid research in this thread. These guys didn't ask what polls in a focus group. They asked what worked in other countries. We should listen.

Gavin Newsom's ego is so big it can eat Hansel and Gretel and the witch in one go. Don't let it happen. Then we'll have no story left, and you know how I love stories.

Scheiße! We've got a veritable poltermaus im Haus. Bap! Slap! Bam! Polter, polter, polter!

O, what to do?

"That Snallygaster's around here someplace, I swear it!"

Bernie Sanders wins Nevada Caucuses in 2020, 46%

Hey, all, remember when this happened six years ago? Remember all the shit that happened next? I sure do.

gluey snow in Connecticut

Up here in Connecticut, still no blizzard, even though the snow looks like glue.

Let us just suppose, for argument, that the media has its head up its ass.

Now, let's conclude that the media has its head up its ass.

Pelosi made a formidable study of her caucus. She knew how to manipulate them. When it comes to picking a leader she has proven again and again to be wrong.

It's time for us to stop listening to Pelosi.

Don't let the road rise up and hit you in the ass.

— New England proverb.

Just sent out my first query to an agent. Woohoo! I was almost convinced I would never finish this book.

Pelosi's wrong . . . again. Gavin Newsom has a troubled record and has not shown that he can be a serious leader. Maybe wean him off of AI, teach him that homeless people are human beings who deserve dignity (and housing!), and so forth . . . he could be passable.

I am a lifelong supporter of NASA. As a boy, I loved pictures and stories involving them.

The Artemis program is a sick joke.

Supporting the privatization of NASA is reprehensible.

Stop it, people.

Now I've got to buy sprinkles for my coffee.

• Hanged for a-poaching
• Fell off a horse
• Pissed off a witch

I find it sad when I wake up & all of my dreams are gone from my head. They haven't taken root. It's like watching a crazy film & as soon as I leave the theater it's taken flight and joined its friends on the breeze-channels.

Don't get me wrong, I know why we foret our dreams. It's still sad.

Also angry, territorial snowmen and scarecrows.

Happy Imbolc, everyone, & happy snow moon! Boy, that snow! But the goddess Brigit has your guard, with her back to winter she will usher in distant spring, through successive dawns, which are also her domain.

(Psst, don't mind that Christian imposter, who they claim turns water into beer. Silly!)

Man on a local news street interview: The earth is a resort for like 500 rich people and the rest of us are just the staff.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.
