Chicago cat geezer. Tea fanatic. What the advertising industry dubs "GenX." Gray ace. Neurodivergent. Neither proud nor ashamed of that. Frequently it's hard. But I do my best.

If you had sent me this when I was "surfing the Web" in 1993 (the upload would have taken forever), I would have tried to dismantle the internet myself.

@mariabamford.bsky.social Dear Maria, my wife and I were going to see you at The Den tonight, but we came down with colds this morning. Since we can't get our tix refunded please feel free to fill those seats in row R with anyone you want.

They don't care about history - history tends to be inconvenient to these people. What they desire is anti-history: an artificial timeline that conforms to their twisted philosophy and nothing else.

Hegseth to US military: if you get into MIT, we won't let you attend because of the risk that you will be exposed to ideas hostile to MAGA when you study there.

When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.

It's not a surprise, nor would it be a surprise if all these billionaire men were eugenicists. It's a special kind of narcissism that comes with obscene amounts of money.

I find it horrifying that more people would rather believe that Democrats drink the blood of children than that a group of wealthy white men conspired to groom and sexually abuse teenaged girls, despite the overwhelming evidence of the latter.
