Yikes. That’s a whole lot to deal with. I hope the new chemo is much better.

This was a hard hard week, Jezzies. My 8 year old beloved dog died suddenly, just before my birthday. It was awful. She was the main link from when my family was alive, and now she’s gone too, no one left. On the other hand, my wonderful best friend made sure we had the exact right level of birthday doing stuff, and…

So botoxed. So tan. As a hedge fund guy, I wonder if he will respond to my pitch for a new product, Bo~Tan. It’s tinted, spray-on botox. I think he would be able to help build the customer profile.

I was a little kid too, and it was on my and my cousin’s bday, so we just thought it was for us, not for everyone. In the way that little kids and possible people named Trump do.

You are so persuasive that we probably will all become unidimensional and only consume one type of information. Good job!

Yep, this is my town. This idiot, Congemi, runs all the time. He’s also been charged with elder abuse (of his mother); banned from a KFC by the police; and wrote this to the newspaper about the current (progressive) mayor:

The Rock is an Elizabeth Warren super-fan, so of course I am not denying the Warren/Rock 2020 ticket.

I’m already losing my appetite...

Thanks for everything you’ve written, even the stuff I raised eyebrows at. Goddamn it first you take away the tweet roundup and then Shade Court. Must I get a tv to watch your new program? Yes, I must. You’re a super talented writer, but even more so than that, a fantastic thinker. I’m lucky to have found this site…

Hmmm. I used to be such a big Spike Lee fan, but over the years he lost me. Wonder (and hope) that this works.

Poor, poor, poor puppy dog.

I truly did not think there was a person that could make wish Spicy was there instead.

Ooooh, I love this thread! Thank you.

Thank you for posting this! I love the books, the movies, all of it. My birthday falls usually near the release of a book, and several birthdays were days off devoted to reading the whole book.

...the Wolf Man responding to furries....

The only time I’ve liked him as an actor was Tropical Thunder and in Magnolia.

Thank you for this. Jewel Allison is the definition of grace. Why is everything making me cry today?

Usually Senator Nelson is cool, so I wonder what is up. I don’t know enough about this (ack, I’ve called about net neutrality, AHCA, & stopping Senate business in just the last 2 days, how the hell did I miss this? Dammit!) but guess I will be off a-googling.
