Yeah, there is rather a backlash about vaping at the moment. Frankly, it pees me off. My OH just lost her dad to lung cancer and now vapes instead of smoking. I am so relieved and proud that she is doing well after about a squillion previously failed attempts to quit. Vaping is, I hope, literally saving her life.…

Just a tangentially relevant excuse to post this cutie’s reaction to a Space Shuttle launch.

The Donzi Scheme may have been speaking a little slow to give the translator time to keep up. God knows, had he babbled on at his usual rate like he does at his domestic Klan rallies, the translator could not have kept up. I closed a loan for a Chinese nuclear scientist once. I spoke rather slow to him and over…

Nah. The judge won’t lose sleep. He’ll probably be at a steak barbecue for at Brock Turner’s this weekend.

Don’t worry. Trump is just doing cosplay of The Walking Dead while it’s off the air. Doomsday distopian narrative, check. White patriarchy, check. Plot line development at the expense of people of color, check. Lots of talk about walls, check.

My rapist admitted it to police the night of, he didn’t call it rape but admitted I couldn’t consent. I went to the hospital that night and documented all my injuries. He admitted to me in a text that he would plead guilty if I ever pressed charges. That wasn't enough for a Hennepin County prosecutor. I wonder if it's…

DEF putting this in my personal Insult Bank for later use.

Our Dad says that part of her is still 14.

I know I always feel betrayed when a person I thought I liked and respected turns out to be ... a secret Canadian!

Guys named Gordie, Derek and Maple Pete...

Well, winter *is* coming.

A little off topic, but still Trump-related: Is it only obvious to me that Trump wrote his doctor’s letter then had him sign it?

I’m actually cautiously optimistic about becoming a Russian federal oblast by next January. I mean, OK, it’ll suck when Trump’s Interior Ministry troops tear down the Washington Monument and replace it with a statue of Putin, and obviously being forced marched to labor camps in the Arizona desert will be unpleasant...…

I can deal with plot holes and shortcuts. But the fact that Naz didn’t have a drop of blood on him and NOBODY MENTIONED IT, drove me mad.

All closing the foundation would do is prove to the right wing that they were right and it was corrupt. Meanwhile, a shit load of people would suffer and lots of good programs would stop.
