JD Vance seems to be making more public appearances recently. I have to assume it is to remind the public that he has the energy of a dude who corners you at a party to ask (with thick, gummy, catshit breath) why you don’t like him - tearfully begs you to kiss him - then calls you a bitch.

This should be the absolute BEST time of year (2 more weeks of Spooky Season, then Vince Guaraldi Season begins). But this violent, racist, classist, misogynist administration has been DESTROYING it with - what I am calling - their War On Spooky Season.

Do I have thoughts on any of the other DWTS contestants this season?

Man, I am so here for all the DWTS love for Andy Richter. It’s no coincidence that when I got my own show (Earth To Ned) Andy was literally the first guest we had. He’s just a good, kind (and very funny) dude.

Just another case of unchecked capitalism being incredibly destructive. The free market doesn’t care about your dog, or your cat, or your family, or you.

And by the way - it’s not veterinarians profiting off of this. Vets are suffering too - the rate of suicide in their industry is remarkably high now. Like many other industries, private equity has bought up vet clinics and focused solely on jacking profit up as much as possible.

There should be no tax on or profit from medical care - and that includes veterinary medicine.
People are giving up their animals because they can’t afford care for them - not because they never could, but because the cost has gone up so much so quickly. Shelters all over the country are packed.

The news media needs to start using experts on authoritarianism and pre-WWII history as pundits on stories about the current administration. This is not a joke - just a boring good idea. The rapid shift to fascism needs to be put in context by people who know, not podcasters and politicians.

Nothing. I just keep watching another show instead.

Desperately trying to watch The Expanse based on some friends’ recommendations - cannot stop rewatching Elementary instead. Hoping it’s an astrological thing.

Sometimes Im tempted to think “I’m not like other middle-aged white women, I’m cool.” Then I find myself drinking white wine & watching The Morning Show — I don’t know how I got here — I don’t remember starting the show. I’m scared…. What’s happening??

I gotta light a scented candle and think.

I feel like the government is shut down the same way shelter dogs shut down.

BUT ALSO let us not forget that - as a man I have never met once said - “we didn’t start the fire. It was always burning since the world’s been turning. We didn’t start the fire. No we didn’t light it but we tried to fight it. Birth control, Ho Chi Minh, Richard Nixon back again.”

I know things seem super fucked up right now - and they are.

I find it really hard to believe that there is a actual organic human fan base for Jared Leto out the world. But then again I’ve never had a Pizookie at BJ’s, so what do I know about the world?

Hey, look, I’m not Washington insider. But it sure sounds like Pete Hegseth just wasted a lot of time and money yelling at a whole bunch of high ranking military personnel because he can’t grow a beard.

He was so excited - congratulating him, asking him how he was feeling, if he had any questions. He sat down with the guy & talked fatherhood for a good while - til we had to break it up for rehearsal.
He just seemed way more interested in being a person than being a star.

I hope he gets well soon.
