“I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM!”

Both proud and ashamed my inbox has an email that reads “Ordered: Hooded Medieval Cloak”
For the record, whenever I see the word “pariah” my default mental image is of South American river fish with razor sharp teeth.
Facebook reminds me that on this day, September 23rd, in 2014, President Obama saluted a Marine while holding a latte. The horror.
Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.
It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."
Because that's not how America works.

Monica Lewinsky, decades after the presidential scandal that made her famous, told Sophie Gilbert at #TAF25 that she sees herself as “a poster child for having survived shame”:
God only knows what we’ll be without you. What a legacy he leaves behind.
It’s gotta have veg and it’s gotta have cheese and Tzatziki sauce to balance it right ♫
Aw, damn it! When you’re right, you’re right. Points!
Dog barks. Horn beeps. Yawn.
The clock on the nightstand glows
The bar must have closed.

CMS is a real job. Maybe a TV host can pretend to do some mid-tier cabinet position while a deputy does the real work. CMS is a technocratic job responsible for 6,000 employees, complicated billing policy, HIPAA, etc.
Dr. Oz knows how to do precisely none of that.

The James Webb Space Telescope's first deep field image reveals a stunning tapestry of galaxies, both near and far. The image showcases a vast expanse of space, filled with countless stars and galaxies of various shapes and sizes. Some galaxies appear as bright, swirling spirals, while others are more distant and faint, mere smudges of light. This image offers a glimpse into the early universe, allowing us to explore the origins of our cosmos.
Webb's first deep field.
This is so deep space that if you'll look at this portion in the sky, you'll see complete darkness.

This is weird. On my tablet using the Dish app, MSNBC ch 209 keeps disappearing from the “News” tab, but is available under the “See All” tab during the live DNC convention. The next morning it’s back under the News tab. It’s happened both nights.

A hesitant pause
Thoughts hang crystalized mid air
The moment slips by

Beach, sea and sky meet in a similar, hazy blue-gray
where sea and sky meet,

hazy horizons

Hope kindles a flame

To begin anew

Plucky syllables
Owl has one, vowel has two
My lips disagree

Dream of a tropical day
Lush scents, warm breezes
