I once went to expedia and looked at schedules for flights from New York to Kyiv and spent weeks getting ads for brides by mail.

Three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas

It’s so fucking predictable that Hegseth came in declaring that the military needs to focus on preparedness instead of making political points and then consistently doing the exact opposite.

It’s like the Bible, or Atlas Shrugged. You carry it around and refer to it constantly, to seem smart in certain crowds. But read it? Nah.

Someday when enough time has passed, we’ll get a movie about the minions working for DOGE.

I’m so glad this went through, partially because the results will be hilarious, but even more because Ben humiliated the fuck out of Alex Jones and the Universe is a little bit better place because of it.

Thirding. I want.

May her memory be a blessing.

A dark shirt with an outline of New Jersey. Exit 98 is highlighted in the middle.

I pulled the top shirt out of my dresser and am now wearing it …

I’ve lived in Massachusetts for the last 35 years but some things — pizza, diners, shore points, jughandles — are formative and never leave you.

Get on US 9 anywhere south of the Raritan river bridge. See that sign coming up on your right? Eat there.

One summer in northern NH my wife “opened” the bidding on a Dec. vacation package including two nights at the Christmas Tree Lodge, a ride on the North Conway Polar Express, and a horse-drawn carriage chocolate tour of Jackson.

It was pretty fun until the blizzard arrived.

I think it works be fun to add like 7 more liberal justices and then refuse to accept Thomas’s resignation.

Truly you have earned a Doctorate in the Sandwich Arts.

Many years ago I used to refer to clocks that were round and had hands — the kind you used to draw — as acoustic clocks.

I’ve been told re: elephants that they simply don’t develop a trust bond, the way horses, dogs, camels, and apparently ostriches do — if you want an elephant to follow commands you have to break its spirit and rule by fear. And who the hell wants to do that?

Two camels in the desert (Thar desert india) i am riding one. Nobody is on the other.

An elephant up close, in a mud puddle, extending its trunk.

I’ve been lucky enough to ride camels in India (several times), Egypt, and Australia. I loved it, felt natural from the start, which in turn made the camel feel calm.
I didn’t enjoy the elephant ride at all. Wouldn’t do it again with what I now know, I preferred the mud bath anyway.

Even before 1975, Shostakovich wrote a lot of that sounded like knock-off Shostakovich.

One of them told me that meem is short for meemaw.

Worst John Wick reboot ever.

I think that could be read in Korean as uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Although it would be more correct as 으으으으으으으으…
