Every* d*** time he opens his mouth, he proves he is an idiot with zero understanding of how the world actually works.

*it FEELS like 'every time'...

Aspirations!

While, we have only watched the first episode (& were reasonably entertained & pleased with it) this review feels as though the reviewer was pissed it was their assignment to begin with.

This is an important point to remember every time some yahoo politician who wants to defund the NSF reads the title of a grant in dumbstruck tones: "They're studying the venom of Gila monsters? What? Who's *that* for?"

All of us, Gomer. It's how science actually works.

I just want them to bring back their red lentil fusilli… (yes, it may be that the grocery stores I have access to simply stopped carrying it, but I bought A LOT of it…)

I bought this one when it came out, but was unable to read for several years (reluctant for the end). I figured I would know when the time was ‘right’ (I did).

🤣

I was impressed when we first saw it, but now it even more perfectly captures this entire BS administration…

Please!

Anyone who has ever worked with yarn/string/thin-bendy-stuff feels your pain at a deep & personal level.

That is one of those movies which - in the days of scrolling through channels looking for something appealing - I would windup rewatching every dang time!

Defective Units

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here

he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor

and still, they threw him out

and you know what? they did it by voting

don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

TASKMASTER (we are working our way through the seasons) is helping our tiny family (hubby, the cat & me) stay sane in this hideous year.

Perfect!

How tiny, sad and boring that guy’s world is.

Maaaaybe in comparison… but blech!!

One of the comments to this is like “of all the things to be mad about, not being able to get a credit card is low down the list” and y’all being able to leave shitty men is so important and cannot be done without money.

Boy, that ..claim… is really a stretch.

What.. how..

*Taps the skeet.*

Pay attention. My father had to sign for my first credit card.

It is within the lifetime of we immortals, and we keep warning you that there are people under the delusion that it was a better time. They want to re-create it.

It wasn't a better time.

I find this seems to occur depressingly often*. Men have been getting truly terrible messaging/training to have so many of them making these bad choices.

*I am old & aware that, yes, there is a great deal we simply never heard about (or were forced to experience) before.

Instant graffiti magnet….

Wow! Strength and flexibility! I don't recall having an option for girls wrestling in the prior century, but with an example like that, I would have wanted to learn!
(Not certain I would have had the presence of mind that young woman has to pull it off, but wow!)

I have at least 2 piles... Most of them are re-reads & I am dancing with impatience for a couple of new ones pre-ordered (come on May!)

Hmm, my actual current reading habit does not enforce addressing the TBR pile. Guess I need to re-think something.

How do we think about that when the current daily news seems to indicate a strong possibility we’ll be back in the Stone Age about then.

We read Reader’s Digest, of course! You only read soap bottles when you were using a ‘guest bathroom’ in someone’s home.

yeah. Decades ago when I was young, I used to really worry about The Bomb.
Now I just worry that I(we) might survive it...
