She must've had some brains to get as far as she did, with so little charisma. I've only seen a couple of movies with her so maybe I missed her being interesting & talented. She was Queen of MGM for some years, got all the choice parts.

Exactly. We've owned a house in DC since Jimmy Carter's time.

DC is incomparably safer, better governed, better amenities, more worldly, more livable, than city we first knew. Population fell 1950-2000. Growing ever since.

And: DC pays more *federal* tax per capita than anyone else.

MAGA shut up.

For provincial/cultural or maybe post-cultural reasons, this style of hat always makes me think of a Chinese Mickey Mouse.

Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."

Are you a Norma Shearer fan? TBH - I've never met one before!

Haven't looked at decks 4 years. Last I looked many decks had a few good cards and some embarrassing or boring ones. I stuck w/ RW only w softer colors. The gay one= cringey to me, or maybe they're just not my types. 😀

Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

Tricorders didn't come with instructions.

Helen Mirren calls her a major influence. DD always gave her all. A band singer brought to Hollywood, during her 1st movie she nervously took acting lessons. Director Michael Curtiz (Casablanca, Mildred Pierce) said, "What are you doing?" and told her to stop. "Some people need lessons. You don't!"

Several years ago I exchanged some emails with Rachel Pollack, who wrote a couple of fabulous books on the Tarot. I have few decks. I love that every reading is a story, and you use your intuition to create the narrative, which is more nebulous and suggestive than exact. Like life.

Lobsters and crabs are extraterrestrial insects and I don't eat those. Also, they don't eat me, so we have a good thing going.

I'm sure there's a feminist and non-binary and trans version of the above.

The tarot is gay. The Fool: yummy. The Magician: "top or bottom?" The Charioteer: hot.The Tower: orgasm. Hanged Man: What's Your Fetish? Wands: penises. Cups: tushies. Swords: piercings. The Moon: the moon. Pages and Knights, puhleez. Everyone else: a bear, daddy, trans, a lesbian or a drag queen

Gotta love any tarot with fruits.

Allie's no ally.

I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but 'blubbery' has three b's.

In this, I am a conservative.

Not nearly enough people give AF about the climate crisis!

Wake up, America!

Gotta love DC for its sheer awfulness. My brothers and I were fond of Bouncing Boy and Matter-Eater Lad.

And fabulous.

Sometimes I think deep thoughts.

If I could be best friends with any three characters from classic TV shows, I'd pick Endora, Matt Smith's Doctor Who, and Xena. ("Trapped on a desert island with" would have a different line-up, because with any of these three you wouldn't be trapped for long.)

In the early pic, Loki’s Mom. Delicious as Endora.

The mushroom umbrellas were sold out.

Kind of recherché.

What other animals did she do? Porcupines? Anteaters? Hippopotamus-girl?

The moment when the barcalounger's internal massage function kicks into overdrive.

This is clearly not a nice mushroom.

ChatGPT is often a bimbo, (ask it about "b's in bimbo), but like Juby Bolliday in "Born Yesterday," the bimbo will learn.

True. I way prefer my salt caramel-free.
