  So, what is it about her- what is the reason why we can't let her go? Marilyn Monroe would have celebrated her 100th birthday this year if she hadn't taken her life a very long time ago. It was the time of our American Camelot when men ruled the world and women pretended they did. What is it about her that still draws people to her? Was it her beauty or was it her doe eyed look of vulnerability that keeps her in our modern world, a world that would be so foreign and unforgiving. Every word, every thought and screw up would be recorded, analyzed and used. Or, maybe she might not even be noticed. We have Sydney Sweeney with the vacant head and over spilled dresses, who plays the hapless, dumb victim. She could have dressed up like a dog or a baby and have men masturbate as she opened those big blue eyes and asked for love. We have AI, where a man can conjure up his soul mate. ( 👀🫵 Aaron Rodgers) She can do and be whatever he wishes. Who needs a real woman with real issues whe...

  It still shocks me to see that books are still being banned , mostly books regarding sexuality, especially books written about the gay, lesbian and queer community. One book on the banned list is, 'Last Night at the Telegraph Club ,' written by Malinda Lo. It's set in the 1950's in San Francisco, where a young woman explores her own sexuality while also dealing with her Chinese heritage, culture and immigrant parents. It was the winner in the National Book Award and has the badge of honor for stirring up the homophobes.  An oldie, but still rankles the bowdlerizer is, 'A Clockwork Orange ,' which was published in the early 60's. It's about a group of violent teenagers living in a dystopian future trying to survive, usually by extreme violence and drugs. Oddly, the last chapter of the story where the mc finally seeks redemption was eliminated from the American version by the publishers who wanted the book to end on a dark note. It's a hard read, but...

  So, this ad wasn't approved by Pratt, but I don't think he dislikes it. I am conflicted about posting the link but I want you to know the type of garbage the right is generating. Most of it is AI and it's absolutely vulgar. Pratt is an opportunist from way back- another loser who has no life goals other than to be somebody. Frankly, I hate everyone in this election. The people we need in office are not stepping up and that's understandable. It's a thankless task where the enemy is beyond cruel. There is no working together anymore. It's gone beyond what was once at least the presence of respect. No longer. It's AI slop and lie after lie where no one can believe anything anymore.  I can't speak for others on the Blue side who prefer to remain respectful. I see a lot of criticism about reporters not standing up to Trump. When he calls a woman a piggy and no one responds we get angry, but what do you think would happen if a reporter actually told Trump t...

  "Oh, we love him but me and Daryl think he's hiding the truth cause people will just go crazy if they knowed what really happened. I was shaving Daryl's back cause he was gonna apply at the Whine and Diner. He's a real good cook. Grits, and gumbo is his specialty. Anyhoo, I usually get on the Fox News with Jesse Watters. He's so handsome. Anyways, they showed us the volcano and the UFO comin' out of it. Where was it Daryl - one of them third world countries, like Paraquat. But then we seen it, right Daryl? I'M TELLING THEM 'BOUT THE ALIEN SPACESHIP! Don't mind him. He can't hear too well after blowing off some fireworks last fourth. Anyways, we seen it fly out of that burning volcano. They must've couldna breathe in there, or the heat was killin' 'em. They all tryna cover it up as a coingkeydink but that's just ridiculous. Any fool can see it weren't no meteor. It went up and out, didn't it, Daryl? Will you leave that d...

  The 250 clambake is turning into another debacle. How shocking. The White House is starting to look like it's in the ghetto. First they tore down Jackie's garden and mama liked the roses. There's no bringing it back. Now that the musicians who normally follow the carny town circuit these days have suddenly realized the party wasn't for us, but for Trump. Suspicious minds wonder why they didn't catch on sooner. What else could Trump do but to be a flaming star and declare the show must go on? I was a bit confused when he started to rip it up about being as great as Elvis. WTF!? Now he's going to sing? No. Worse. He's going to talk. About himself. I'd prefer a little less conversation. Pete Haggis is also making some rules. They can't seem to be able to fill in the seats at the giant circus tent/cage out on the White House lawn, so the brown eyed handsome man would like to invite the military to fill in- on their own dime of course, aaaaand, their wa...

  As I ride my bike (no, that's not me above) going nowhere because it's a stationary bike, I like to watch Stingray Cityscapes on Roku. Wow! We get a bird's eye view of various cities, something we can never do in real life. I've only just begun but have a few favorites. Los Angeles is absolutely stunning. I think it is one of my favorite cities, from above anyway. Boston, Dallas, Malaysia and Switzerland are all cities that have been beautifully designed by incorporating the old with the new. Some cities look as if, well, if the orange man had been at it. Big, ugly monstrosities that are built next to a Shakey's Sugar Shack or stand away from any other buildings. Detroit from above looks no better than Detroit down below. It tries, but it's really boring. Nothing stands out. They're just a bunch of big cement building blocks. Even Paris from above is underwhelming. You have to explore that city to find the beauty. These beautiful scenic adventures are alle...
