The tattoo is part of his cosplay, his Jed-face performance of working class. He is in no way working class. And the hang wringing is based on the very flawed assumption that the white working class is defined solely by racism. Assume that, though, and the tattoo becomes a necessary prop.

In my family, apropos of nothing, you're likely to hear "Son, you got a panty on your head."

Hmm, as a straight man, I'm thinking, well, sure, I'll have a bite of that: it looks delicious. [Now thinking that post will prevent me from reentering the country after a family vacation].

Okay, so, I'm listening to Colorado Sound, public radio station, and they were playing "Kiss Off" by the Violent Femmes when I made it down in my scrolling to this. And I can confirm that the flamingos eat like this because they can hear the music.

Okay, since we're picking on my adopted home state, I present to you the Pueblo (CO) Slopper: www.pueblopages.com/slopper-show...

Thank you for your attention to that matter.

Does he not realize that we've handed our entire space program to one immigrant? I'm not saying that's good, and it's not the only dumb thing about what he's saying. But can he even think and talk at the same time? Yes, "so good."

Cardigans in professional situations? Shit, yes, you wear 'em. But before you put 'em on, you were so very much cooler than that. Your cool doesn't reside on the same cool-om-eter.

Sure, he's that uncool. But, ma'am, yes, you are that cool.

I am accustomed to coming to shows late. It’s fine; I’m slow. But now I am very put out to learn that Murderbot will not give me another episode. I want it now, like Veruca Salt wants it now (daddy?)!

Thank you for reposting that! Never has a small bit of money felt so good to spend.

CU Admissions, to be fair, I don’t know that any of us are too worried about fall 15 admissions. But to be clear, fall 25, no! Go elsewhere.

I say this as a parent of a college grad, a college student, and future college student: who in their right mind is sending a kid to Columbia? CU admissions, how is fall 15 looking?

I would be more tolerant of his lecturing me about my pampered elitism if he'd not dress like a play-by-play announcer for the Hunger Games.

All this clerical work in front of a screen has me suffering with a bad case of neurasthenia.

Knowing about history would be nice, sure, but how about just a simple working knowledge of the phrase "witch hunt"?

This at the USNA library suggests that he really did say that he needs generals (and, I suppose, admirals) like Hitler had: www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

Still waiting....https://www.npr.org/2025/04/11/nx-s1-5358429/senator-todd-young-on-u-s-china-relations

Listening to Sen. Young (R-Ind.) talk about trade relations with China and China's plan to dominate certain industries like biotech. Waiting for Steve Inskeep or Sen. Young to mention the huge investment in higher education China's made to meet that goal and our slashing of all higher ed funding.

Oh, I thought the press secretary was using the pronoun "they," as in "they [the Trump press secretary] deny reality." I mean, given the context, that makes the most sense.

The world has gone to shit, and I'll need to put off retirement for, well, some time. But there's this:

Crowd gathered in front of Colorado Springs City Hall to protest Trump-Elon attack on constitutional democracy.

Crowd stretching several blocks in front of Colorado Springs City Hall to protest Trump-Elon attack on constitutional democracy.

Good crowd in Colorado Springs even with sunless skies and temps hovering below freezing.

Richard Russo’s Straight Man would be fun; and Delillo’s White Noise would work well.

I want to learn to play an instrument so that I can start a band. The band will be called Turkish Nut Merchants.

That paragraph could have been my US history teacher (really football coach--defensive ends) circa 1984. I was 17, had never been very far from SE Texas, and I knew that he was full of shit even then.

Hmm, that's really cool; but have you ever paid any attention to how this market thing works? You should take a look.

Thank you!
