It's just Thursday night in the west. It's always this quiet at this time. Nothing new.

It comes and goes in waves. This time of night, half of America has been told to close that computer and go to sleep, the other half will as well in two hours. Europe lies slumbering, restless dreams of Brexit and nationalism and globalization dancing in her head. Asia is up and about, diligently working. :)

Ah, this week was a full-on gauntlet!

See, there's this colleague at work I had a major crush on, and she easily got along with the family...we were supposed to go on a road trip down south after shift, but with the car we were supposed to used being awaiting service--busted brake lamps means a long-distance trip with possible night driving is an accident just waiting to happen--that plan went south.

Add a monumental clusterfuck involving bringing my son back to my ex's place, and all I could say was "Give me a frakking break!"
Let "¡Viva la Libertad!" be a cry of Eternal Defiance to the Jackboot.

Unemployment is down to historic levels.
And finally the truth about wind turbines and cancer has come out.
Thanks to the Biden fiasco we now have a glorious picture of Joe Biden hugging al Franken, if you haven't seen it go find it. Joe has al from behind and al looks like he is about to be dragged off to a very unfriendly anal probing.

So the future is so bright, I gotta wear shades.

The shades are to dull the glare from the skin of the bad orange man and Ethel's guilt from his direct complicity in the mass murder of trigendered Mexican CNN reporters.
