Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

When they announced the core children’s cast I was like β€œUgh, they don’t deserve what’s going to happen to them.” John Lithgow though… πŸ™„

The first time I got prescribed that stuff I asked my GP β€œHow does this work?” and she said β€œNobody knows.” But yes, they definitely make the world go all soft focus and wobbly, like a cheap flashback effect on a 70s soap opera.

The most challenging thing I did as an undergraduate was to study Russian language for two years to meet a degree requirement. For quite a while I thought I’d like to visit and use that skill but now there’s no way I’d go. The place doesn’t deserve visitors now and won’t for a long, long time.

Me, snacking on an Oreo: That sounds pretty good.

Times are challenging but please remember that you deserve to take good care of yourself, as much as you are able.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

I do wonder if they actually make any money on the exotic stuff like Valhalla. My uninformed thought is that Ferrari is moving up in price so fast that there is a viable market gap between Porsche and Ferrari where they could thrive, but only if they can get depreciation under control.

Good night to catch up on all that stuff you’ve DVR’ed, floss your cat, walk your goldfish, clean the coils on the back of your refrigerator, etc.

FWIW, they do medical lab work. When I visit my doctor I usually get a bill from QD for the associated lab stuff.

Here's the floor plan for the new ICE concentration camp in Georgia. Look familiar? Let's take a look at some similar blueprints throughout history.

I Rode a Mini Motorbike Across Scotland
YouTube video by Chris Howett I Rode a Mini Motorbike Across Scotland

Not exactly a Weird CAR per se, but as a fan of small displacement motoring I feel the need to share this delightful video of Chris riding across Scotland on an absurdly tiny motorcycle. Truly our kind of lunatic.
