I was a juicer -- film industry slang for set lighting technician -- working in Hollywood and beyond for forty years ... and now I'm not.
tRump probably had to send 500 of them out to buy more erasers at Staples.

Fire that drunken, over-amped frat boy? The sooner, the better.

Whatever beliefs bring people comfort are fine, so long as they don't affect and are not imposed on others.
Personally, I think anybody who's been under full anesthetic has a pretty good idea what death is like -- it's just ... nothing. Endless, timeless nothing.

And the same to you!

I hear you, all the way.

Seems to me there's only one equation that really matters here: if you add more energy to an already extremely dynamic system - like the climate -- the result will be an increase in dynamism ... which is exactly what we're seeing.

You'd think even the Lumpentrumpers could understand that.

Go for it, Doug -- you were a good Senator, and will make a great governor!

And how depressing it must be for them to know that the ultimate decider -- SCOTUS -- not only doesn't have their back, but is actively serving the forces of evil.

Suitably humbled, Ruffalo accepted the tutelage, and learned enough to - apparently - play guitar acceptably for the role.
I guess it's never to late...

In an interview with actor Mark Ruffalo, he discussed a role that required he play guitar. The producers brought in a pro to school him, and Mark told the guy that he'd played guitar for 20 years. After hearing him play, the pro said: "You've owned a guitar for 20 years, but you haven't played it."

Yes, but Crockett isn't a snowflake -- the MAGAts are.

Pretty much everything tRump has done -- domestic and international -- in his benighted second term is a scandal.

Well ... I guess that makes me a really bad - but dedicated - guitarist.

Same. I've got doctor's handwriting, which is less legible than hieroglyphics.

I can understand the argument for using a typewriter rather than a computer - which requires more thought before committing words to paper - but handwritten drafts?

No effing way.

I'm not using a typewriter, either, mind you. The laptop works just fine.

The entire damned country has been being burned ever since tRump he regained office -- and these guys are just figuring that out now?
November 22, 2025 at 6:22 PM
Most of what's happened since tRump's second electoral win has been incompatible with democracy.

Maybe so, but vice-presidents don't have a strong record of winning the Oval Office via the ballot box. Most who become president got there because of the demise of their boss.
