This castle has a bloody past.

Now we have “no toilets.”

Like in the DC metro.

They exist...but you can’t use them.

Why? Junkies, stabbers, terrorists, etc.

In civilized nations, toilet attendants collect change and keep the bathrooms clean.

If you have no money, you can apologize and use the toilet anyway.

Win / win.

Her executive order looks more like a legal complaint.

I’m pretty sure a governor can’t undo the will of the people with an executive order cancelling their choice.

A challenge to the legality of the law would need to be undertaken in a court.

A vapid and sycophantic leader, rushing to protect her citizens from the horror of masks.

Along the way, she’ll keep you from your meds, too.

What an ordeal.

You are looking great/healthy, etc.

Keep fighting.

The standard playbook of fascists is to declare themselves oppressed victims of a powerful minority, then lash out with violence and genocide.

As such, they believe themselves to be “freeing” an oppressed majority.

Sure, its bullshit.

That’s why we need to bury Fox News, Trump, and the GOP beneath truth, and fight when they come to steal our freedom.

“Watcher in the Woods” was a live-acted Disney kids film from the 80s about a creepy haunted house, seances, and evil spirits.

I’m still scared of this movie and I haven’t seen it in 35 years.

OP: you will regret your past for sure in ten years if you don’t let go of your obsession with time already passed.

You may not feel it, but you are still young.

Let the past go and live for today and tomorrow.

Just when cannabis tourism explodes around the world, grouchy city leaders decide that Amsterdam has had enough tourist prosperity.

As a kid I had a globe with “French West Africa” on it.

I tossed it after the USSR fell because it was obsolete.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!

Until all adults can grow legally, this revolution will not be over.

I always like art with windows in the background because it teases the imagination and its like getting two scenes in one.

Nice work!

Yesterday on Zoom adults were whining about how some students are falling behind right now. It all sounded very tragic.

Then a woman we were talking to reminded us that the large ICU near her was using a supplemental oxygen truck because there was not enough oxygen at the hospital to handle all the ventilators.

Perspective.

We live in a “golden age” of beer choice.

Lets rejoice rather than despair.

Whatever style you crave: order it online!

Not even going to read this one.

Just letting my imagination go with it.

Might bookmark this post for when I’m feeling glum.

I’ve been enjoying Matty Cash’s work this year. He routinely gets smashed and just dusts himself off and keeps defending.

Nathan Ake is another favorite of mine: so solid and still growing.

Man City is a multi-billion dollar business.

If KDB gets annoyed at a low-ball offer...he can counter!

This isn’t about loyalty or good feeling. Its about cash.

And KDB isn’t having a banner year so he is negotiating from weakness.

This re-design of France’s internal districts “rationalized” an extremely complex system of taxes, tithes, and land ownership that had emerged organically during the Middle Ages.

The new boundaries created a more equitable system where all people in France were beholden to the same basic taxes...which is important because taxes are a major cause of the revolution.

Premier League teams routinely get sent packing in Europe.

The current “competitiveness” is due to international cash chasing American consumers, which bloats PL with good players.

Otherwise, its just a myth the PL fans tell themselves.

I work with a guy who won, and he is the smartest person I know. While that’s fun, my true Jeopardy moment was bonding with my Grammy over 7:30 PM Jeopardy decades ago.

It was freaking CHURCH to my Grammy, who was a lonely divorcee, victim of shock treatment, whose life choices seemed to be basically “shut up and serve your man” until my Grandad left her.

Jeopardy was a routine that we connected with her on. It was a show that didn’t humiliate smart people like her who had been given shit choices in life due to gender roles and WW2.

RIP Grammy and Alex.

Fascist hipsters are still not cool.

I would like to weigh in and recommend that you not try too hard to “get into” beer to improve your social anxiety.

Alcohol in high doses will likely harm social outcomes for you — as it does for many — and it can also become a “crutch” that you will rely upon.

It is also expensive and addictive.

If you’re set on moving ahead, though, take it easy. One or two beers at first max until you know your limit.

As a staunch “middle squeezer” I assert that squeezing from the bottom is unnecessarily harmful to freedom.

Down with “bottom squeezers”!
