I agree...sadly iconic.

Went to the eye doctor yesterday, and I made one observation.
It is not exactly fertile ground for dating.
I am at that awkward age, where I am too old for the staff, and too young for the other patients.

The only up side is the use of the correct adjective "Democratic" rather than "Democrat" party...somebody at the White House meme shop apparently screwed up.

Apparently, the only thing Trump really understands is a good lawsuit. I really hope the writer of BOC's "Don't Fear the Reaper" takes him to court for copywrite infringement and unauthorized use.
Call your attorney, "Buck Dharma" Roeser!

Clouds and drizzle for a Friday morning in Central Florida.
So this is what it must be like in war-ravaged Portland!
Of course, it's also 71 degrees at 8am, so the analogy sort of falls apart, but there must be Antifa deployed somewhere.
Probably waiting to get into EPCOT...

The title may seem a little dark...and it is!

#Totentanz2025 death dance? OK, how 'bout this one? NOT "Werewolves of London"...

YouTube video by English Tuition Linda Ronstadt - Alison [1978] Lyrics HD

Linda Ronstadt has covered songs by everyone from Dolly Parton to Warren Zevon, making them her own. This one is by Elvis Costello.

t's 11pm on a Tuesday night, and I'm ready for bed.
Who knew that spending a day doing absolutely nothing, could be so exhausting?
Well, maybe Congress knew.
(re-posted, to make sense...it WAS late...)

The original was written by Van Morrison and released in 1971. 23 years later, it was covered by John Mellencamp and Meshell Ndegeocello. John's "Wild Night" did better on the charts than Van's did!

Sorry, General...but you're only embarrassed NOW?!

...sometimes...since it is set in war ravaged Oregon, probably the Kesey novel.

I am reminded of that great American writer...whom Trump has likely never read...

An elaborate veggie tray, like with hummus and pita chips, can be a movie feast!
Or not...

I live in Orlando..."Winter can't come fast enough" should be the State Motto.

Do you know how many positions a pampered cat has to adapt? We're not even counting yawns!

Doing my usual Sunday routine; making coffee and listening to @wfuv.bsky.social. Since the station is in The Bronx, playing excellent Irish trad music from behind the Antifa lines, is a revolutionary act.
Up the Rebels!

Who has the time? Let's just simply call it "The Trump Mob".

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social has a new, highly successful book, and he's making the circuit. I've seen a lot of his interviews, but I think this one with @wajali.bsky.social is the best so far.

The coffee is good, but the beer is top notch...we raided a brewery before Antifa could get it, called "Great Notion".
A great notion indeed...hazy, and not for the faint of heart. We will enjoy our quaffs, and if the Sergeant finds out...we'll call it spoils of war!

Actual war ravaged Dresden

optics are important;
reportedly war ravaged Portland;

Apparently, "Mad Dog" also has mad internet skills...

The great thing is, there are so many more!

If "stupid" is the best you can do, Vance, I'd hate to see you in a real position of power...

You know, if Trump sees this, the only (and I mean ONLY) thing he will complain about is that the drawing makes him look fat.

Agreed...and I don't even live in Portland.

Having a glass of wine to celebrate the return of internet...it turns out to be a long story, ending with a massive tree branches in my back yard. "Clean up? Not my job.", said the installer.
The Cabernet Sauvignon is good if you let it breathe. It's Kirkland from Costco, so maybe hyperventilate.

An attempt to watch pirated "Real Time with Bill Maher" failed. HBO/Warner Bros is getting better at scrubbing YouTube...then, I saw the guest list; Aiden Walker, a "content creator" I've never heard of. Michael Smerconish and Rep. Nancy Mace.
Oh well, my life will go on...

I am far from an admirer of Winston Churchill, but I have to grudgingly admit how the man could turn a phrase. When I think of Trump's last week or so, I think of Churchill's quote
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
