Thingy

  Not really. I had the Olympics on my telly mostly for background noise. As Ferrerman noted, curling was in progress. What a silly sport. I did watch some kids fly down a mountain and there was some team figure skating. I don't like that. Stop that. My background noise was interrupted with football garbage, pre- football stuff. It's noon and the game isn't for hours. Oh well, back to Bones. The good news, what I really wanted to discuss was the cancellation of the MAGA concert. No one wanted to be a part of it, so kudos, I think. Trump must be shitting in his pants. Not for any reason. He just shits in his pants now, but he's gotta feel some heat. His nasty behavior is backfiring. I asked the question on Bluesky, who had to go tell the orange man that portraying the Obamas as apes was not a good idea? You can put money on the belief that those who wanted an anti- Bunny shinedown also found Trump's disgusting meme amusing.  It's good to see people backing off al...

 What's wrong with people? Seriously, how do they become so filled with toxic rage? People (I use the term loosely) are enraged because Savannah Guthrie's mother is taking up airtime. The basic thought is, "Oh, this rich, white lady gets airtime when thousands of people go missing every day!" Some are not as kind with a description. Yes, thousands go missing every single day. Over 99% are found safe. This is not case of a runaway, a walkaway, a parent taking a child for custody issues. This is a woman who was allegedly violently removed from her home. I'm not a fan of Savannah or the show she's on. It's too right wing for me and she's extremely religious, so, not my interest. But, there are millions of people who do follow her and find her to be a kind person. It's obvious she had a close relationship with her mother and so what if this woman had a good life. How fucking dare you despise her for that!? She has done nothing wrong. She has raised a f...

  Back in the day, before the Internet, if you wanted an answer to a question, you either asked your parents, which in my case, crickets chirped, or, you looked it up in your Encyclopedia Britannica. Every home had a set. I'm sure it was mandatory. I seem to recall we could only afford up to the N's. Anything after that, I'm clueless regarding M to Z. But now we have a search engine(s) I used Google this week for serious questions, such as... What happened to Will Smith?  Remember him, the fresh prince of Bel-Air and a man on top of the world, until he slapped Chris Rock for dissing his wife about her alopecia? He has been banned for ten years from attending any Oscar award ceremony and future movie roles dried up quicker than a hair dryer on a bald head. He's still around but is no longer on top of the world. Who's the other guy from, 'Flight of the Conchords ?' I just saw Jemaine Clement the other day, still working in the biz. I loved that show, The Conch...

  It's not a new marketing ploy - how many times have businesses tried to entice you with money, big money? Get $500 in groceries if you join right now! I've been almost taken in with Temu's games which claim to give you money back! It's amazing! Until you read the teeny tiny fine print. For the next $5,000 you spend we'll chip off a few cents. Gotta be quick! This offer is subject to government intervention.  Aww, those poor ICE hirees, all thinking they were going to get a big bundle of $50,000 if they join the brown shirt club.  Picture it... Podunk, USA.... "Lookie here, Mavis, says I'll get $50,000 just for gettin' picked to round up them border hoppers. That's a win-win in my book. Hey, once I get that money, Imma quit right there and we can build our double wide back behind your Mama's pot garden. I won't have to work for ten, twenty years!" Unfortunately, that's now how it works and men in masked cosplay outfits are starting...

  I was going to start this post by apologizing for  writing so much about politics, but then I said to myself, "Self, this is what interests you. Stop bowing to pressure to write about kittens and baking bread and budgeting the month. This shit is important." Yes, it is. It truly boggles my mind when I see people completely turned off by what is an absolutely imperative function in our lives. Y'all have clean water, decent roads, firefighters and no mice poo in your cornflakes because of policies written by politicians. So, go fucking knit a blanket and discuss three sticks of butter instead of two, if laws that impact your life are so bothersome.  So. I'm gonna discuss Melania once again. She's not a politician but she knows a few. I'm still shaking my head when I see the news media proclaim her documentary as a great success. It's all relative, my dears. But, I wanted to know who the movie goers were who spent $7 million dollars to watch the first lady ...

  "No, I never knew him." "Yes, I vaguely knew him." "We chatted occasionally, mostly business. But, I never went to the Island." "Yes, we talked about women, not girls. I had no idea about his life." "I'm ashamed how I spoke about women, but it was just immature banter. I didn't know anything." The line in the sand continues to be pushed back after more emails and images are revealed. From never knowing Jeffrey Epstein to hundreds upon hundreds of emails passed between him and a host of powerful men and women. When did Epstein ever get anything done considering he was emailing people nonstop? They all wanted something from him. Money, advice, drugs and girls. Even after he served time they ran back to him so this defense that they had no idea that he was in the business of sex trafficking is ridiculous. It absolutely shocks me to see the amount of people who knew this man. Slime bag after ass kissing sycophant, praising him, mi...
