This Super Bowl halftime show is like watching the opera: the music is cool as shit, I have no idea what they’re saying but I love the narrative, and it’s 1000 times better than the Rolling fucking Stones.

Even though I’m not watching the game, I did take a break to watch the halftime show. Bad Bunny was good. I liked it.

Not watching the big game. I’m switching between a book and vertical dramas. These Verticals have me in a chokehold.

How the FBI Worked Out Epstein’s Sinister Web Newly released documents show just how much evidence prosecutors had in Florida before Epstein was handed a sweetheart deal.

They had Epstein dead to rights. Nearly 3 dozen victims. He shouldve been in jail for life.

They gave him a sweetheart deal that allowed him to keep raping girls while hopping in and out for prison for 13
months..

Things in romance books that I don’t like. 1) When the female character calls their lover daddy (gives me the ick). 2) When the Male character calls his lover whore or slut.

This is entirely unhinged. Thank god for A. having a real social media person again and B. Kevin Brown. Always Kevin Brown.

Only got to 99. I’m half done the book that would take me to 100 but can’t finish in time.

Yes please, still trying to break 100, in an unusually light reading year.

Merry Christmas. May your day be filled with joy and love.

He had to. He reached the mandatory retirement age.

Very nice day for the beach.

Teenagers are old enough to have sex with middle aged men. They are not old enough to be trans.

It's driving me batty that nobody except Heather Cox Richardson, the Washington Monthly, and myself is covering Trump's race to sell off (for likely demolition) "the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal," w/ murals by Ben Shahn, Philip Guston, etc. I've furnish links below to help reporters get started.

Trinity Rodman speaks out on the refereeing in yesterday’s Spirit-Wave game. (You probably know this, but poor officiating has been a theme across the league this NWSL season.)

“This is one of many examples…. Refs need to be better at managing these games. No words”

I went to my first NWSL Sunday. I cheered on the Washington Spirit. It was so much fun and they won. Hope to attend again.

Truth

Too many things happening to keep up. I hate it here.

One should not celebrate when a terrible thing happens to a terrible person, but one also is not required to feel sympathy for the person or anyone who chose to reproduce/associate with them. They were adults; they knew what they were doing, and they are only due tolerance.

That looks like the neighborhood I grew up in. I don’t remember any deer there in the 80’s/early 90’s.

Start of a fun day at the Maryland Renaissance Festivale. Excited to see Jacques ze Whipper!
