"The Strait of Hormuz? More like the State of More Booze, because that's what I'm focused on. And, uh, warfighting."

Lol, I wasn't trying to craft a misleading sentence, I swear.

Gonna rule if we hear this happened because Kuwait's air defense is "powered by AI".

Briefly excited to see something about an upcoming movie called "The People Vs VBS", but apparently "VBS" in this case is just a South African bank.

FYI just used some birthday money to order the complete Klaus, as well as The Great Treasury of Christmas Comic Book Stories. cc @benitocereno.bsky.social

Seen that, but I prefer less bombast.

All I'm saying is for all the jokes of "maybe it will happen today", one day it will happen, it will be that day. That isn't just possible, it is a certainty. The hope is that it is very, very soon.

Ngl, I think about this song regularly. Seemingly impossible things can happen when people choose to believe they can happen. And when people come together and choose to believe collectively, and work towards that, look out. Remember how it felt the day Obama was elected?

That better be both parties this time. Sick of Dems whose chief complaint is "you did ask first". Schumer and Jeffries cannot be in charge, but how many elected dems agree with them and like taking cover behind them. Time for millennials to take over.

I regret to inform you that US presidents don't tend to face any consequences for war crimes.

The defining feature of the Trump administration is glee at the suffering of girls.

Have never understood it and likely never will. This loathsome black hole of morality, the antichrist we were warned of by our parents and pastors, and they ran to him and embraced him with undying devotion. And they say *we* are the ones who have strayed and need salvation smh.

Donald Trump’s only policy is destruction - at home and abroad, everywhere, all the time.

Doesn't matter how many times you bomb the middle east, Jesus isn't coming back, and a religion that drives leaders to mass murder kids is barbaric. Christian supremacists say "the US is a Christian nation" to mean "the US is The Best nation". In reality, we are a uniquely destructive nation.

Lol, of course. I also went through my Lost Jukebox archives for "Amy", another song I loved that I thought was Sedaka, but it was also Barry Mann. So I have a history of crossing those particular wires.

RIP Neil Sedaka. I discovered his 1969 light psychpop single "Rainy Jane" via the legendary Lost Jukebox series, gave me a new perspective on him, though as a kid in the 80s I did regularly call the oldies station to request "Who Put the Bomp", so I guess I always liked him. youtu.be/JHPn8BwZOYA?...

When I took a tour of the Winchester Mystery House, they pointed out that all the staircases had tons of stairs and switchbacks because the lady could barely lift her legs without pain, so each step was like two inches higher than the last step. Anyway, that's like the bar these guys can't clear.

The chief end of man (me, specifically) is to glorify this post by enjoying the schadenfreude forever.
