I like science & braille & food & cats & books. And large plaster statues of yeti.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

That vaguely rings a bell. At the time I didn’t like coffee (I can hardly remember a time I didn’t like coffee) and my mom (coffee fiend) didn’t like jello much. But I have a vague memory of seeing this at the IGA.

I’m embarrassed and I voted against him. I want to wear a Tshirt daily that says I HAVE NEVER VOTED FOR THAT GUY just in case there’s any doubt. He is the walking embodiment of embarrassment.

Apple Music (I get it for free & there are no ads). Been introduced to lots of good music there. I tried Tidal & just couldn’t get it to do what I wanted, which is probably user failure. I should try again.

I’m sorry but this made me laugh out loud. Glad your wife’s eye is ok but doctor has never met a cat?
My cat has trained ME β€”e.g. I’d love to sleep past 6 am but it’s breakfast time. I now wake up at 6 even when I’m traveling & in a hotel nowhere near the cat.

Ooh, please write one. But also read β€œThe Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break” a wonderful novel by Steven Sherrill.

The Dr Demento show used to play the parody of that song, β€œ99 Dead Baboons” which is equally catchy.

Never had it until I moved to Tennessee for college. Thought of it as a β€œsouthern food” but I think I’m wrong about that.

Gatorade literally makes me gag especially with MiraLAX in it. Do it anyway so they catch cancer early (ask me how I know). Gagging on yuck for one night is worth it.
