This social media blight of people hunting for another "hidden authentic culinary gem" has got to be stopped. Now even scrap yards in Flushing are having to post signs to shoo these people away.

Preserve us from designers who do not understand the art of dimensioning - "Oh, that element? That should be exactly 36 11/16 inches from the very tip of the dragonfly's tail I saw in a dream once... I can't remember where..."

Every time a new pope is chosen, I'm reminded of a poem I came across thirty years ago. In the poem, the cardinals all get together and go to 7-11, where they all down Slurpees until one of them throws up. That's the new pope.
Don't remember anything else about the poem. If you do, pls share

Apparently, my YouTube algorithm has had a stroke. I got this ad for a group called "Staunch Moderates" that I can only describe as boomer brain rot.
The political version of George Carlin's driver -
anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac.

Was reading Keynes's "Essays in Persuasion" today, came across a quote from Gen. Smuts's statement on signing the Treaty of Paris, which contains the irreproachable turn of phrase "the sponge of oblivion."
