"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dag, the world's got me down. Putin is going full Aleppo on the Ukraine.

But we are lining up all of our escrow transactions so everything is ready on March 8th.

And I do find it amusing that Roger Stone had a Danish documentary team following him around for two years including on January 6th, where he's on top trying to skip town when shit goes sideways.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

And yesterday's HONY was gutting but THEN had a satisfying ending. I kept checking it all day like I was waiting for a new Dickens chapter to drop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Very loyal and blindly loyal are different things.

Hee.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Heh. Remember "Freedom Fries"?

Huh. Apparently my brother has avoided being taken up by the immigration police for the past year and a bit (he was arrested for overstaying his visa last December) and has now got a job in Dallas. So he’ll be in the US for the first time in 18 years. I can’t wait to hear the culture shock. (He’s crazy right wing and it has annoyed the crap out of me that he talked such shit despite….not actually living here??)

Our wings are not tired.

Huh indeed. I'm sorry you have one of those brothers! Mine annoys the crap out of me, but the rare times we see each other we avoid almost all topics.

... where was he, meara?

I have a guy here from Sonic to install actual fiber optic cable! So much faster internet!

Turns out "reconstitution" really means "nobody has to wear a mask, even in meetings and common areas". Sigh.

I'm not eager to discover that all these relaxed requirements will result in big jumps in Covid numbers in three or four weeks...

Yay fiber optic cable! Boo acting like covid is over when it isn’t. I’m like we have as many cases per day right now as we did in November, and more than last summer, but now it’s suddenly ok to give it all up?

My brother was in the Czech Republic. Easy to talk shit about Obamacare when you have socialized medicine, and somehow he didn’t find it hypocritical that he criticized immigrants to the US, but is still not fluent in Czech himself.

What is even happening?

Oh, because "poutine" sounds too much like Putin. That took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out.

Hey Buffistas.

It's totally going to be a miniseries starring Reese Witherspoon.

Although, I must say, I personally know a comparable story that goes in entirely the opposite direction where the wife connived and successfully was a golddigger, had everything she aspired too and then Broke Bad and lost it all and went to jail and lost custody of her kids.
