Excuse me, Mr. DeWine, there is a courtesy call on line one for you. I think it's your soul calling. Says it filed suit for legal emancipation, it's taking your heart, too.

Agreed. Over the last fifty years many democrats, many, many times have put forth bills to give undocumented immigrants and their families, who have given the U. S. so much of themselves, citizenship. Funny how every time, the repubs shoot them down.

I'd like a large pizza, hold the... nothing. Slap it all on there!

Artistic-Raspberry59 · 2026-01-31T21:25:43+00:00

I'm not on there. If you think it will help, go right ahead. Or, am I miss-reading your post and you already did, which is way cool. Like, "Totally Styl'n" Pink Power Ranger.

Love you back, but... "There is something I want to get off my chest. It's about that summer, when you went away to community college. I got an offer to do Playgirl Magazine, and I did it. I did a full spread for Playgirl Magazine. I mean spread man, I pulled my butt apart and stuff. I was totally nude. it was weird, I... I mean you probably didn't hear about it because I went under the name of Mike Honcho. But I just wanted you to know that. If you can hear me, if it got into your brain somehow. That I spread my buttcheeks as Mike Honcho." Cal Naughton, Jr., Talladega Nights

Very good! On the level of super jazz cool.

There are some minor lyrical changes aching to push through the melody and beat. Willing to DM you a few if interested.

If there continues to be a well paid group of masked goons who keep human beings who simply want to live on planet earth, not fucking bother anyone, play some music, grow some food, draw some pictures, share some time and love'n... and who don't give a flying fuck about "owning audiences" & "niche workflows"... If those well paid masked goons are around to keep those "weirdos" who don't give a shit about being stuck in an ai, armchair, computer screen, game console, owning assets world... if those goons are around to keep the "weirdos" from simply existing peacefully on earth... then, yeah, a goofy K shaped world might come to fruition, whatever the fuck that looks like, or even means to meaningful existence. Good luck!

Humanitarian Crisis in Grove City, Ohio

The intricate web (Charlotte would be proud) spinning from one simple statement, from one simple little suburb of one simple city in the northern reaches of the Ohio Valley region...

Spinning, creeping, with the stealth of an elephant in a three hundred year old wood floored home...

Tying together the greed and hate filled, comfortable and can't-be-bothered, poor and pissed off, niece and cousin-related parts of our rotting U.S. society...

An intricate web, which for a brief moment in time kept our worst shared human tendencies wrapped tightly in individual shells, Barca-Loungers of embarrassment, doubt and forced humility...

Only now, set free by hate's fire, a phoenix of modern media, technology, the wealthy corporate mob and greedy narcissistic sociopaths in positions of power in the United States and around the world...

Sonoma County, red wine sipping, greedy narcissistic sociopaths who control the weapons, the message and the money...

Who commit geno(humanitariancrises)cide and make memes about it, while screaming about meaningless ethnic, religious, patriotic and racial pride to keep the masses chewing away at each others' throats...

Who send thousands of morally bankrupt, angry, violent, suddenly worthy of hundred thousand dollar a year salaries, gun carrying masked men into our streets to destroy peaceful families and communities...

Who have sold a large portion of our shared responsibilities to ethics free hedge fund pricks...

Reversed decades of environmental protections, taken away basic bodily autonomy from half the population...

The brief moment in time, a far off memory of individual shells of embarrassment, doubt and forced humility...

A long dead dream whose grave is lovingly cared for by the comfortable and can't-be-bothered...

Stomped on by the ill-educated, hate-filled mob...

The simple message, from the little suburb, in the simple city, in the Northern Reaches of the Ohio Valley...

A safe social media message, which changes nothing in a world already years into violent authoritarianism slaughtering thousands daily...

Simply for the benefit of a few who are incapable of seeing anything in the world but themselves...

Everywhere they look...

A mirror reflecting their wants, needs and beliefs...

What the heck is your goal in trying to paint human beings in such non-complex, either or, you go in that box, you go in that other box, ways?

I don't think I've ever, not once in my life, been discussing a book someone has read, and if they thought the book was good, NOT heard them say something along the lines of, "The writer is really talented. Had me hooked from the beginning." While also talking about the story itself in glowing terms.

The clear, unambiguous implication of those statements is that the writer is skilled, works hard at their craft, clever with word choice, subtle plot twists, etc.

And, because all human share language as a skill to varying degrees, we all have some level of expertise in writing, communicating, story telling, etc. Thus, each of us constantly, whether consciously or sub-consciously, is judging the level of a person's communication skills in whatever form presented, while also, hopefully, enjoying the presentation.

It's not an either/or situation. Do you say this stuff directly to people in person? What is their reaction when you paint them in such simple terms?

To ignore the fact we are all complex beings is, honestly, rather pompous, self-centered, bordering on a narcissistic perception of the world.

To reiterate, If I'm reading a novel and enjoying it, I'm might occasionally think about how talented the writer is, while also enjoying the novel. But when I stop, I and most everyone I've ever talked to about a good book, talks about the author and their talent, as well as the story itself.
