Two friends and I went to Italy in late November 2000, during Bush v. Gore. And we were often asked who we voted for by people who were always very happy to hear us say "Gore."

They knew the deal.

People like her should just stay home. Nobody good wants them.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place.

Have a purring cat sleeping on my right foot now and can highly recommend.

friend sent this over from the other place and unfortunately I did laugh

I'm so sorry to hear this, Wendy. And you're right about the lack of mental health resources.

It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Doctor Strangelove now reads like a subdued masterpiece of the subtle mimetic.

This is amazing.

That’s awesome!

I was long out of school by the time this was being shown in classrooms but it really is an epic watch, especially as a former NJ Transit daily commuter.

I wrote this #Fridaythe13th story a while back and should really make some updates but it's still fun to learn about the New Jersey connections the movie has.

Always fun to block people who use the word “illegal” as a noun.

Just spitballing here, but maybe we should celebrate all this beautiful stuff and have a better country?

When you work in the financial services industry, “Disclosure Day” is not the most appealing movie title.

I just know what happens in NJ, and there is always some kind of ordnance washing up along the Atlantic shoreline, being dug up in a yard, or found on someone's grandma's basement shelf. So far, nobody here has put one in dangerous play as our poor Frenchman has.

Feel bad for the guy but my first response to seeing a headline like this is ALWAYS to check if it happened in New Jersey or its fringes. Unexploded ordnance and where it winds up is its own weird news category. #IYKYK

I was once stuck in an elevator for about an hour on a Friday night after work (8:00ish), so I can empathize. But I had two coworkers with me and no annoying sounds. Hope you are freed very soon (and save your battery power!).

YouTube video by Grant Barrett Catherine O'Hara John Candy Eulogy (with cleaned up audio)

I’m so sad about Catherine O’Hara. Not too long ago I watched the John Candy documentary, which featured part of her eulogy for him. Here’s the full video of it.

You left us a library of fun to watch too, Catherine.
