 "Let's be clear."

Stop the fuck starting your viewpoint with those three words. I am seeing it all the time now, by politicians, especially. You give the implication you think your audience is stupid and needs a reminder to pay attention. It adds nothing to the relevance of whatever point you are trying to make. It makes you look like a bully boss. Some of my favorite people are using this phrase and it breaks my heart. 

Just stop, please. 

And now back to our regular scheduled program...

Who is shocked Jeff Bezos caved as fast as he did? 

No one?

I'm shocked he even considered listing the tariff costs to consumers. 

People are angry Bezos is exactly who he always was and now insist a boycott.

No. You tear that band aid off and end your relationship forever. I deleted my account, yet, I'm still getting notices from them about sales. Apparently, Amazon is like the creepy boyfriend who refuses to believe it's over.

There are many, many other options when shopping for shit we really don't need. Go to directly to the seller. Amazon is just the middleman. Yes, that free shipping is great. We'll all be paying more for that wherever we go. I just paid $19 for a document to go airmail, the whole 16.2 miles away. 

Don't be put off by thrift stores. I have found wonderful items in Goodwill and St. Vincent DePaul shops. 

We are entering a very dark era. Most of our money will be going for shelter and food. We don't need Amazon. We don't need Temu or Shein. 

This is when the blowhard really wants to drive their point and state, "Let's be clear!"

I think I was.

No to boycott. Yes to oblivion.

Update, May, 2nd. Word on the street, actually from an insider at Goodwill. They are hiring former Amazon executives in order for consumers to achieve the Amazon experience. You know, high prices, zero customer service, servitude to the orange man. I'm incredibly disappointed. Maybe we just buy what we absolutely need to get through four years.

I have a feeling this suggestion will be ignored. Amazon is just too convenient. People don't like to be inconvenienced. They're going to in for a big surprise.

I remember when my mom ordered something from Sears. It took six to eight weeks to arrive. That's a lifetime, now.

An Empty Vessel

Image
He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

Image
  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

Image
   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
