{{{Pix}}} I'm sorry you are in such a tough situation, hon.

Mmm, garlicky chicken, that sounds fantastic.

Oh msbelle. I hope it isn't as bad as all that, Mac-caring-wise. Who knows what is going on in his head? That he's not expressing concerns to you doesn't really mean that much, does it? Remembering my teen years. And, of all things, Clockers, but it's a scene that has stuck in my head.

I wish I could reassure you about the reality of the near future. And I'm sorry about church.

I am drinking chardonnay but not watching the Daily Show or John Oliver or any other election coverage. I've taken to just turning off the radio when I drive. Still in denial, really.

Personally I want to do what I can to save on my taxes and then give those moneys to organizations that are going to be shafted by the new Republication administration.

That's smart. bennett.

Sam Bee is probably a good place to start when I am ready for that. Thanks for that reminder, sj.

I agree with -t. I don't remember caring much about politics as a teenager and I definitely didn't confess my concerns about life to my parents. I was pretty blessed in the parent department but I didn't really see it until I was older.

Yes, I have a backlog of recorded tv including Colbert and The Daily Show, and Sam Bee, but I don't know when/if I'll watch. I've been watching Leverage take down the bad guys.

Had a lovely dinner with Bobby & GF & her mom. No politics. Talked cars, and music, and food, and travel. Ate, drank, and well couldn't manage merry, but content with good company.

Wait, Robert Vaughn died?

Uh-huh.

I'm reading Nicola Yoon's new book which I'm enjoying. Had raclette with friends and have otherwise been like an XKCD cartoon all day.

I kind of want to fight every fight right now.

Good lord, yes, Jesse, this is me. Normally on FB when friends of friends say things, I let it go. Not my wall not my battle. But I have given up on that shit. I really feel like those bitter battles in bureaucracy where we got into the weeds of every argument really sharpened some skills that I get to use on FB these days.

This is probably not healthy. But I can't let it go.

I am in bed and drinking wine from a water bottle.

It's one thing when people on FB have actual intelligent thoughts. But they're all just so fucking stupid.

(Okay, no, not everyone. But if I see one more stupid fucking meme, I will...continue to be snappy on FB.)

I hate like 90 % of stuff.
