What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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.

This headline is just jaw-dropping.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

This headline is just jaw-dropping.

Jesus fuck. This is so very very bad.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I would like a different reality, please.

Always, Dana. But especially now.

This too shall pass.

It is a Déjà vu situation where we are back where every day brings a new horror. We went through this last time, and yes indeed, it did get worse the next time around. Hugs LAistas tight.

Our wings are not tired

It's so much BS. The protests are less action in the streets than we see after a Laker's game.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

All my Angeleno friends are trying to explain the protests are confined to very local areas and not LA at large. He's actively attempting to provoke a strong and publicly evident protest so he can call martial law before the midterms, and call them off. Right out of the Nazi playbook."We'll vote them out at midterms," not so much. We may have already enjoyed the last free election in this country.

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"

He also wants to scare his followers about those horrible immigrants flouting his sensible deportations. And scare the people who are planning to protest next week to stay home.

All my Angeleno friends are trying to explain the protests are confined to very local areas and not LA at large.

Like Portland in 2020, where the protests basically involved one city block.

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

Where would I have put my safety goggles? They're not in the big tool box where I thought they'd be.
