Just once I’d like to see an NYC developer tear down a lower Manhattan block of 19th century commercial buildings and replace them with grubby little 17th-century style Dutch cottages. #NewAmsrerdam #Mindfuck #whimsy

I hope Zohran can outlaw people who walk into crowded NYC coffee and bagel shops and proceed to ask an extensive series of questions about the limited menu once they reach the front of the line. Villains!

Here’s an idea: once Trump is gone that tacky ballroom is stripped down and converted into an interactive multi media museum of the American Republic.

Not saying I’m fancy but those crumbled chips in the bottom of the bag? Eaten with a spoon from a bowl, peasants.

To the young woman who pointed out the crosswalk as I drove thru it. Yes, it is the law I let you cross, no, it is not the law I have to wait for your dog to finish pissing on the hydrant then let you cross.

Hard to think of a father and son who had more divergent careers than Richard and Mojo Nixon

I come from humble social beginnings. I have tried to always expand my horizons especially culinarily. Then Jaffa cakes entered my life. My dirty secret, my shameful kink: I love Jaffa cakes.

Just watched the parade with its Fox fellating hosts, the uninspired speech “dusty streets of Danang”? I’d rather had a little check sent to me and fellow army vets for what this community theatre spectacle costs (all due respect community theatres) it was Waiting for Guffman for wannabe fascists

How the hell did we let the hall monitors take over this country

I’m not sayin she’s kinky but her address says it all….

the current political situation: America is sprawled legs akimbo giving desperate looks Republican response “ yeah baby I’m about to give you the best night of your life, let’s do this” Democratic response: “ this is going be mutually satisfying, I just have to take this pill and in 30 mins we go”

I love his mischievous little smile as they get rolling.

In the manner of the “successful “ renaming of Twitter to X, I propose Amazon should become Quisling. Yellow Freight was already taken.

Because sometimes it’s all we have…

Remember when people were wondering how Gavin Newsome could date Kimberly Guifoyle? I’d say his calling Abrego Garcia a “distraction” should give you some insight

Todays walk along he Mongaup River trail ending in a lovely little isolated cemetery. Your final resting place surrounded by woods with a river view.

Hey, Chuck, does the name Joe Biden, you know too old, bring any memories

I don’t ask for much except for that bitch ass cunt to get margin called

Chuck Schumer 1 Chuck instead of charlie? 2 Years of taxpayer salary and free healthcare (for life) 3 constantly rationalizing capitulation 4 inside Washington so long he couldn’t find a decent restaurant in his realm 5 hubris hubris hubris All these things make you loathed more than you know
