Personally, even if such funds were available, could not countenance spending nearly $40K on a … purse. Not even a satchel. And what’s even funnier is that about 96 percent of that $40K purchase price is simply for the label. China plays chess as GrandMaster, while the Orange Menace keeps losing at Tic-Tac-Toe. Ha! This …
Toothsome
Generally tend towards not seeing movies on the big screen because people. Too many of ‘em, clustered in the dark, in too small a space. However. Seen/heard a lot of chatter re one particular film, asked Half and theKid if they wanted to see. Made it a family thing. And my goodness … was it good. …
Baby Burst
Apparently (heh, didjacatchthat?no?nevermind) the Rethuglicans are seriously worried re the lack of babies being born (among the horsewomen,a’cours). In the land of Dobbs, the SAVE Act, dismantling the Dept of Education (‘cept for collecting on default student loan debt), and efforts to end no-fault divorce … Don’t ever wonder. Here’s a suggestion … try universal …
Wait … What?
A 19YO kid in NYC got snatched off the street by ICE for deportation, likely to CECOT. One problem? The kid is legally in the states, seeking asylum from the Venezuelan gov’t. Another 20YO, a natural-born US citizen, non-native English speaker and “illegal immigrant appearing,” was seized by ICE after a Florida traffic stop … …
Ownership, and Revenue … Slavery?
Not really. But kinda. Hmmm. Recently became a lurker on Reddit, familial cesspool of thought, opinion, and whatiffery. Fascinating lot, that. Particularly fond of the sub “AITA” … why yes, yes you are. Overwhelming so. Anyhoo, one sub discusses RTO, with the consensus almost universally WTAF. State workers in Texas, California, Minnesota, Ohio (oh Ohio) are …
Still Standing
Wow. Guess glad now didn’t choose to invest. They said (and you know how “they” are) not to worry about the fluctuations in the stock market unless retirement is pending in the next few years, but my goodness … do those next few years include the next 20? But … a wise person reminded that …
Frivolity Teats
theKid likes/watches anime, and must say … do like Chainsaw Man. And Dan Da Dan is the business. Altho’ … made the mistake of looking up “hentai.” Brain wounded. Japan is not a real place. Anyhoo, time for some frivolous levity and fun nonsense facts … please. Enjoy. 1. Speaking of Japan … the …
All By Herself
Not sure how all this is supposed to work out but slightly intrigued as to the actual outcome. Walking across the world, punching friends in the face, so not the way to move forward. All those good works since WW2, right down the drain, flushed and swirling. One plan of the Orange Menace is to eliminate …
True Blessing
Celebrated the arrival of theKid earlier this month … asked for a zombie VR experience (yehinorite) accompanied by a few friends. Cake, pizza, festivities and frivolities enjoyed by all. theKid gave a thumbs-up to the experience so feeling pretty validated. Breeding has its perks. Speaking of … recent stats indicate the US birthrate has fallen …
Tomfoolery, and Bobgotjokes
Back to fun … well, don’t get out much, so methinks metype of fun. Enjoy! Or not. Err’body got choices. 1. No only child has ever been a US president. 2. There are around 2,000 islands in the Caribbean but only 2-percent are populated by humans. (Time to move!) 3. The sunflower spiral follows the …
