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

Happy birthday, dcp!

Well, fuck, I signed Matilda up for a new round of Pilates classes and got her out of bed and sent her there. And they said, "No, you start next week."

It's so freakin' hard getting anything started with her. Not that this is her fault - it was a miscommunication between me and the staff.

Anyway, Scola and I will be off to see The Phoenician Scheme this afternoon and have lunch in Japantown.

Did you all notice that it's June? We're almost halfway through 2025.

Our wings are not tired

Sounds like a pretty great day for a movie. I'm curious to hear what you think of that one.

I picked the wrong week to quit popcorn. (Airplane)

The inevitable breakup of Elon and Donald was always going to be ugly, but this is over the top.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I picked the wrong week to quit popcorn.

I have seen very little of the actual fight but seeing people commenting how much they are enjoying it is giving me a lot of pleasure

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I hope there is an alternate timeline in which DJT and company have been put into a Truman Show style bubble where they can proclaim and bluster and bully to their hearts content without harming the rest of the world. Musk already seems to think he's in a game or VR of some kind anyway.

Famously, while he was at PayPal, Musk kept trying to write code and it fucked up the whole system. So they made a fake separate system for him to play in without telling him. When he figured out what they were doing, they dedicated one person to undoing his code every night on the real system.

And now Trump needs a TV show dedicated to presenting security briefings to him. These people are detached from reality, but keep fucking it up for everyone living in it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Remember the Mythic Quest episode where they couldn't find a way to ban Nazis, so they just gave them their own walled-off server where they wouldn't bother any of the other players? Let's do that.
