After all this is over, they are going to have to bathe all of DC in bleach to try to get the stain out.

My wife and I went to DC in Summer 2016. I remember us looking at the White House, and I said, "There is no way this country would allow Trump, of such low class and no character, to live in that house" Oh how wrong I was. And now ... oh my

They are building a UFC cage at the People's House and I have no tears left to shed for this miserable mockery of a country.

Still Life with Teapot and Melons

Hey there, you! Tell me I'm your favorite thing (I wouldn't mind ... not at alllllll) youtu.be/jcjFkNtFHA8?...

On Wednesdays we wear black

"The juiciest boy in Boston" That's quite a moniker to carry. 😅 His house looks amazing and I will definitely be visiting next time I'm in Boston. It really is a monument to the LGBTQIA+ people who came before us. #Victorian #lgbtqia #queer #history #historian #Boston youtu.be/xfD72RDqwsY?...

Well, one positive about Paxton getting the nom is that maybe now he'll stop suing Houston for bullshit reasons that mask his jealously over my city being more cool and successful than he could ever be.

Cornyn was one of the "gang of 7" headed by McConnell when Obama won the presidency. Their sole, unyielding, singular goal was to try to make Obama a one-term POTUS. no matter what. Glad Cornyn's gone. He's a tumor, like every Repub. Paxton, sadly, will be worse. A cheap hack criminal scumbag

Real men have shoulder kittens. Photo from my collection, ca. 1950s.

I know you probably won't believe me if I tell you that I would love this version of the song even without the video 😏 youtu.be/MhRXOOc_p-0?...

“When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.” ― Golda Meir, A Land of Our Own

Me neither. But I take such things as evidence that the Conservatives control the media narrative. Always have. This is also why "woke" "Social Justice" and "Black Lives Matter" are held in such derision. They should all be badges of honor ... yet, in common vernacular, they are despised.

Still one of the coolest videos for one of the coolest songs! youtu.be/wCDIYvFmgW8?...

For what it's worth, I (hopefully) have taught my son not to be a scumbag. Now, if I have failed and he is and I'm just not aware, well ... I'll have to be open to that possibility. But I believe that he is one of the decent men out there in the world

Truly, I cannot see how men can send unsolicited dick pics. But I know for a fact that, just because I cannot see it, does not mean that it doesn't happen. The reported evidence is overwhelming that many men send a shit-ton of UDPs It's fucking disgusting and we MUST make that shit stop.

Men, Stop being perverted scumbags. Signed, Real men

Hiking through New Mexico Wife: What about Skinwalkers? Me: We'll be back at the hotel before sundown. W: What if we meet a puma? M: I'll throw myself at it and you run. W: NO! I'll throw MYself and YOU run! M: If we both do it at the same time, the puma will probably get scared and run off.

Sun in an Empty Room, by Edward Hopper, 1963.

One of the world's richest men saying that his taxes wouldn't help the salaries of teachers is really the 21st century version of "Let them eat cake"

You know, for all the comments about Bowie's fluidity, he truly was what I consider an example of a "real man" 1) Confident but not arrogant 2) Goal-oriented, but not at the expense of others 3) Stylish, never garish 4) Spoke up for the rights of others, not just his own 5) Well-spoken & kind

We lost Norm Peterson (actor George Wendt) a year ago. He was aged 76. A consummate performer, he appeared in all 275 episodes of 'Cheers'. Along with Sam Malone & Carla Tortelli, Norm was one of only three characters to appear in every episode. We loved him! #GeorgeWendt
