Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also in what is possibly a sign about the economy our store has been really slow. Thanksgiving is next week and this time last year I was telling people where the fried onions were all the time. But I have only seen a few people really stocking up for Thanksgiving.
Or maybe it's just an after effect today Hurricane Helene.
When does she go off to Japan? I should know by now, but dates are often meaningless to the small part of my brain that's supposed to keep track of things.
She has to be in Kyoto on January 29th. But we'll go to Tokyo before that so probably flying out of SF on Jan 24th or something.
They call it "Spring Semester" but basically she'll be in Japan for February through April. Slightly less than 3 months for Visa reasons.
So excited for Matilda!!
Thank you for the ~ma for my mom. Reports are good so far. My dad is not very communicative (he's sending a daily group text) so I called my brother last night for more details and to conspire on providing help that will be needed but not asked for.
Thanks for the update, aurelia. Good to hear.
Glad to hear your mom is going on.
So the co founder of The Federalist wrote a ....scathing is not the right word..he tore Matt Gaetz to shreds in his substack.
Choice quotes are : "His eyes are permanently rimmed with the red rings of chemical boosters. In person, he smells like overexposed Axe Body Spray and stale Astroglide. "
And "There are pools of vomit with more to offer the earth than this STD-riddled testament to the failure of fallen masculinity."

Awwww, yeah, that's the stuff. Pure vitriol, accurately deployed.
Even if agreeing with anyone at the Federalist makes me want to scrub for days...
Erika I don't want to agree with him either but it makes it somehow more viscous coming from an arch conservative.
Also, I hadn't realized how loathed Matt Gaetz was by Republicans
