grinding to fill a prescription




  • Any one else find it strange that the Shitgibbon Shitstorm didn't shitstorm?
  • Major League Baseball to experiment w starting extra innings w a runner on 2nd base.
  • My damns, the ones I give, the ones I don't, some of them migrate between the two to my worrisome amusement. My local baseball team is owned by ogres even by oligarchal standards but the PxP local radio team is a tonic, the best broadcast I've ever. I'm curious to check my damn.
  • I'm guessing they'll suck the damn out of me: it's gonna be a plodding 83 win season. This team had a window and it is called Last Year.
  • I was indoctrinated to think damns must be held. That not giving a damn is akin to moral failure, a sin.
  • I hope I will always have enough of a damn to say, Fuck the DH.
  • But the Shitgibbon Shitstorm: someone got to Trump and talked him down from responding and/or took the phone from him. Last time Trump was banned Twaater it was 72 hours before he won POTUS. I'd have thought loofa-faced too much temptation....

  1. those blind cats are remarkable - they do what they can with what they got, and they got a lot, it turns out

    they were adopted from a no-kill shelter, and recently i had occasion to make a donation-in-kind to a localno-kill shelter -

  2. 21st century version of a beatles song

    yesterday i encountered on youtube a video depicting a young woman dancing with a drawn, stylized male figure, with the soundtrack being george harrison singing "while my guitar gently weeps" - accompanied by acoustic guitar and strings - as the song ends the strings resolve a chord sequence rather than simply fading out - the video is copyright 2016 The Cirque Apple Creative Partnership

    it has 11 million views

    i liked it very much
