The greyrat

@jonherrin.bsky.social

Some Hessians know me as the greyrat. Lumbar spine full of arthritis and stenosis but currently mostly asymptomatic. Less than three years to retirement from a job I despise, but I'll never make it. Afraid for my non-conforming friends and acquaintances

Because Schumer is a flaccid, washed up has-been who should have been removed decades ago.

Hey Pam. I know you got the girlfriend, but here's the one of the actual founders of antifa.

Forgotten photos - B sides: Not technically a B side. January 2004. Ponte Sospiri, Venice, with yours truly in the foreground. You can tell what's most important to the registered architect spouse.

But but but, won't anyone think of the health insurance CEOs bonuses?

Suggestion: Disney+ should rebrand as Toady+.

Truth in advertising. Just sayin'.

Forgotten photos - B sides: October 2009. Gravois Road bridge over the Meremac river. Fun to dive at 45 MPH. Jerk the steering wheel hard left when entering and hard right when leaving to not go into the river or into the weeds. And pretend that the thing was structurally sound the whole time.

Colbert has months to plan and execute. I'm sure he won't go quietly, no matter what.

Remember when "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" was canceled? Even though that was politically motivated, this is not the same.

I didn't realize we're practically neighbors.

I used that very photo in a book report on the KKK that I did in 8th grade -- in 1973.

SCOTUS, especially Roberts himself, being Trump's prissy little lap dogs, makes the current administration especially dangerous.

Don't "consider," DO. And don't do any "tit for tat" bullshit. Crush the Republican vote. Make sure they never recover. Because it's what they will do if you don't. No high road, no mercy.

Vote accordingly. And DON'T FORGET.

We flew Frontier to and from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for a vacation. It was OK, rather like a charter flight -- for cattle. We didn't expect much, and we got what we expected.

The short answer is "no." The long answer is "noooooooooo."

Not the defenestration that we were expecting.

Don't sully the death of a monstous global despot by comparing it to a sniveling, cheap, grifter.

Did people not see what Stalin was doing? What Berlusconi was doing? What OrbΓ‘n was doing? Of course they did. And what were they supposed to do about it? Go to a concentration camp to die?

Murder the natives. Take over the land. Build what you believe to be a paradise. The literal American dream.

I've always wanted to call and ask when you're hosting on The Line: You are quiet tall, aren't you? Like, over six feet?

You, like Jimmy, appear shorter to me on the shows...

H5N1 is here, just not being reported, because, you know...
