I realize some people are lost by the first chord of Wonderful Christmas Time. But the Christmas song that loses me immediately is Little Saint Nick by the Beach Boys.
Idk if it was the drugs or the general mental state but of course Christmas comes this time each year.

I forgot to buy my parking spot out of LAX months ago.
And I learned most hotels near LAX charge similar rates to the budget lot near LAX. However, their liability fine print is...oblique.

Some of you may be like “what about people who can’t breastfeed or babies who can’t latch” and the answer is that he wants your babies to die

I just got out of a migraine fog. These passages put me back in it.
Only 17 pages in and I am winded.
This passage, folks… Don’t ever write like this. Just don’t do it.

Old enough to remember when a bunch of white guys in the beltway said that the occupations were something to laugh at
"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.
“I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...”
She screamed “Leave me alone...”

too many people want to have kids but don't want to parent
some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

And even if we were at war, (allegedly) smuggling cocaine is not a belligerent act. Especially since most of the relatively small slice of South American cocaine that passes through Venezuela goes to Europe.
None of the people in the boats the US has illegally bombed are "in the fight" because the US is not at war, no matter how much the Trump regime insists
