Next time you decide to do your howler monkey "Genocide Joe" routine, kindly incorporate THESE FACTS:

We have a divided Congress. Republicans hold the House. Put more Democrats in the House and Senate if you want meaningful reform.

Disturbing turn, my hiney. This miserable, corrupt swamp-dweller is now weeping great big greasy crocodile tears about how the swamp he lives in is full of lies and corruption about his lies and corruption:

Just watched Barbie, and I'm more impressed than I thought I would be. While the pastel neon is, um, difficult, it was a very clever film, well made, well-written, excellent script, dialogue, development, brilliant satire and use of effects. I totally see why she didn't win the expected kudos for the first person to make a billion-dollar-grossing film. The bite of her satire is WAY too much for snowflake mens to handle.

Worked out today. The injured knee is from about a month ago, but it's still feeling weirdly unstable, a bit puffy, and out of sorts. I'm going to keep exercising and icing, I'm getting really annoyed by this body being in such terrible shape, I've worked hard most of my life to keep it healthy, and now it's acting like it doesn't know me. An ass-kicking is called for.

I love making sag paneer and substituting firm tofu for the paneer. I use black mustard seeds, kalonji, and dried red chilies with spinach and tomatoes and some red onion for sweetness, and add the (pressed, salted) tofu after the spinach has been processed into a smooth and tasty comestible. I can eat it with dal and rice. I always said I could eat a vegetarian diet if it was Indian and African food. The vegetarian/vegan food of this country bores me.

Somebody made a passionate threnody on this here platform yesterday, about how people who "have it better" when Democrats are in charge don't give a damn about the disabled bc they got theirs.

It made me really sad. It's a kind of ignorance about the real world that says "My suffering is unique, and nobody understands it and the rest of you are privileged shits."

When I was a kid and demanding my parents tell me WHY I wasn't born to rich and famous parents? My parents told me this:

For the love of GOD, Europe, Russia is practically on your doorstep! If Ukraine goes down, the rest of you go with it, you KNOW that, and you'd better step the pace up, bc the Ukrainians cannot hold out without HELP!

https://mastodon.social/@SocraticEthics@mastodon.online/112446322707396157

Decide NOW if you're ready to fight, and if not, you'd better find someplace to FLEE, bc Russia has plans for Western Europe, and you won't like them.

$100K for a car that you can't wash in the sun, rusts in the rain, can't drive on snow or sand, gets stuck on hills, can't charge when it's cold, and sometimes blows up, killing occupants. Wow. Chinese vehicles are cheap, you can probably buy FIVE of them for the same price, and they do what you need without killing you or anyone else.

If you don't have proper N-95 masks, now is the time to pick some up, and build a Corsi-Rosenthal box. It's edging towards summer, which means fire season, and it's already started in Canada. If you don't want to be inhaling smoke and particulate matter, get your protection ASAP. Wear it everywhere, your lungs will thank you.

This guy has no shame whatsoever. Ron de Santis will grovel for money to be handed over to his pimp, Donald Trump:

Just remember, when you say you won't vote for Joe Biden, nothing bad happens to Joe Biden. He retires, goes home to his family, and lives his life in peace.

What happens to your Muslim/Hindu/Sikh/Jain/Buddhist/Wiccan/Pagan neighbours? They're fucked. What happens to your LGBTQ friends? They're fucked too. What happens to poor people? The disabled? The elderly? Babies? Kids? BIPOC folks? Women?

What do you care? If you cared, you would've voted for Joe!

Well, fuck me blind. The Grifter-in-Chief, the Orange Turd, that giant POS in the punchbowl, is now mourning "the late, great Hannibal Lecter."

This fucking moron. There is no depth to which he will not descend, no gutter in which he will not crawl. And in addition to that, he is out of his miserable fucking two-celled mind. Somebody please tell him Hannibal Lecter is a fictional character, unlike Melania's son Barron.

Eeeeyargh! Here I was feeling terrible this morning (took a muscle relaxant to deal with the crippling muscle spasms, and those knock me out for days. I take about 2.5 mg, and that's ALL I need). And then friends called, and I actually started feeling better, but our comms kept breaking up, dammit. Is there a major solar flare today, or something?

Anyway, I'm not compos mentis today, and not very awake, either. Plus my muscles are still extremely relaxed, so I'm moving like a slug.

So as usual, a year or two after everybody raved about it, I finally checked out Lil Nas X, Montero (Call Me By Your Name). It takes a while for me to appreciate a musician/entertainer. Almost like I'm cheating on my former faves by liking someone new. But this kid is SO MUCH TALENT in one person. I think I'm totally converted. Is there an alert I can set so I hear everything from him immediately?

The only way to ensure we don't all die in a coming superplosion of fatal airborne diseases is to STAY MASKED and stay away from unvaxxed folks. Be careful out there.

Awake early for a change bc I am in so much pain that I could chew thru my own intestines, but I can't bend that far. I just took OTC pain meds, but this is ridiculous. I can't be on pain meds 24/7, I might as well just give up and put a bullet thru my brain (also not an option, the sight of blood makes me puke).

There must be SOMEthing people do to distract themselves? What? Pick fights with the cat? (Not recommended, he has WAY more pointy fings). UGH.
