📽️ Happy 76th Birthday Tom Waits. Not only a brilliant “bad ass” song legend he eats up the screen.“I do some acting…I usually get people who want to put me in for a short time, or they have a really odd part that only has two pages of dialogue, if that” Too many faves to list. My #1. What are yours?

“The Trump administration has ordered the incineration of 500 metric tons of emergency food aid, enough to feed 1.5 million malnourished children for a week, due to cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency.” Repulsive, vomitous, deprived, sinister, and demonic comes to mind. Fuck them all.

Texas Governor Abbott acknowledged that 25 states had sent teams to assist with the flooding. He highlighted that these states, regardless of their political leanings ("red" or "blue"), demonstrated unity. What? Excuse me while I mop up the hypocrisy.

Oh dear God... just at the point it becomes obvious that he's run out of Soviet era tanks & trucks to use so he can't replace losses fast enough, running out of bodies, and running out of economic breathing space... FFS they have started using donkeys to bring ammo up to the front...
