Thingy

  I'm not sure if Banksy has explained the significance of the recent statue that had been stealthily erected in the middle of the night in London. The idea of art is to find your own interpretation. So, here is mine. "There are none so blind as those who will not see." - John Heywood. It certainly seems to fit what we are witnessing  today- the MAGA mentality, who voted for a man they believe exemplifies patriotism, who truly epitomizes of the American flag waver. "One nation, under God..." People choose to see only what they want to see and this phenomenon is nothing new. I became interested in reading about eight Germans who snuck onto American soil via u-boats during WWII after reading another book, "Shadow Divers," by Robert Kurson. It's about a group of deep sea divers who find a German u-boat at the bottom of the Atlantic near New Jersey in the early 90's. It took them seven years to identify its long held secrets. I found it absolutely ...

  They stood behind Trump for twenty-two minutes. They never said a word. The orange man talked about himself and how he's in excellent shape and sound of mind, very intelligent. They could suit him up tomorrow and he's ready to go. I'm not sure why people who have done something so amazing fuck it up to stand behind an asshole who has zero interest in them. These astronauts, the women's tennis team, the jockey hockey misogynist dopes.  Why?  I was feeling nostalgic for a brief time because I felt like my happy self when watching the astronauts go around the moon in early April. In these past few years where I am mentally exhausted I nearly cried because for a few moments it was beautiful to see something so humanly amazing. There was no hate, anger or divisiveness. It was people, doing their jobs, loving the moment, all without rancor or animosity. We were witnessing the best of humanity. It felt really good to watch four people who seemed to care and respect each othe...

  Temu. I've been there. I've also been to Ali Express where I bought the cutest handbag that looked like a train because I was taking a train trip. Clever me. Until.... As I sat in my roomette on the train to Seattle, I couldn't help notice a weird smell. It wasn't until I was in my hotel room and searching for something in my bag, I found the smell. It was a mouse, oh so very dead. In fact, so dead it was nearly as flat as a piece of paper, but it was a mouse because it smelled like death. I never bought from Ali Express again. My last purchase from Temu was probably my last, although I rarely have an issue with the product itself. My last purchase was a bead painting kit, a big one which will take months to do even though it's already ruined. (Environmental impact statement here!! If I have leftover beads I make another craft using resin so these tiny things don't enter our brains, but it's another conundrum I must face) The kit came inside a plastic bag....

  "I em veddy angwy an wheel not have deez peeple of deez country mock me furder." - paid escort and first trophy wife, Melania.  Like Cher and Whoopie she goes by her first name only. Michael Wolff claims she is starting to break off the Trump orange tit and consider her future which is to be a brand name. Nothing more. Like the Kardashians who are vapid, plastic blobs of meaningless existence, Melania wants that as well.  Wolff does admit he doesn't understand their relationship. Is it merely a contract between two soulless and brainless opportunists, or do they actually care about each other? We will know shortly whether Wolff's anti-slapp lawsuit will go ahead and where, which is crucial. That could be why Melania is panicking lately. She will have to testify under oath, which means nothing to her, but Wolff can also subpoena her family and surrounding lackeys.  There has to be a reason she's busting out of orange man's arms. She's been practicing her ...

 The King and the faux king are going to meet up. Charles is going to be in town on Monday. Today! Will he meet his son, Harry? Probably not. He'd rather meet up with a raging lunatic and a guest to another fancy dinner no less! Why Charles has decided to have a chin wag with our despicable leader is beyond me. As much as I love learning about the Kings and Queens of yesteryear, most of them were nasty shits. Don't be fooled into believing Charles kicked his brother to the curb due to a moral compass pointing in the right direction. Ha! Andrew was a problem that needed to go away. Everyone - EVERYONE, including my bestie (in my head) Lilibet, aka, Queen Elizabeth, knew he was a pedophile. He brought his victims into the castle. Snitches got stitches for ratting him out to the queen because Andrew was her favorite son. They all looked the other way until they couldn't. So there will be two jesters in the room trying out man each other. Charles: "I have several castles a...

  I once watched a foreign movie where a family goes on a skiing vacation. As they sit outside the lodge, an avalanche begins to roll towards the building. People scramble to get away as the wall of snow tumbles down. As Mom gathers their two young children, Dad hightails it out, leaving behind wife and kids to fend for themselves. Fortunately, the avalanche stops just short of a disaster and no one is harmed to the great relief of all, although, wife and mother cannot forget what has happened. The whole movie is then between two people trying to come to terms by his cowardice, his complete disregard for the safety of his family. I have seen the picture of RFK Jr being escorted out of the Correspondent's dinner after the horrible event that played out of an alleged attempt by one man to shoot to kill anyone in his way. Kennedy's wife Cheryl is left behind to find her way out. It truly makes me sick to my stomach to see how these men reacted to a threat to their survival. Stephe...
