I'm a father of triplets who are all in the neurodivergent to nuerospicy end of the spectrum. I love music, film, theatre, art, food, politics, and a good goddamn joke.

Keep calling/writing/bugging your reps and senators (especially the Republicans).

No one, not even the MAGAs, want to be dragged into a World War over Greenland.

The mad king must be deposed. Let Congress hear your voice.

It's World Theatre Day!
I love the theatre and all the crazy artists who populate the floorboards. You're in my blood, bitter and sweet. As to the bitter, pricing needs to be looked at. Othello, on Broadway, is currently priced for the 1%!!!. Art should be, needs to be, for everyone.

Happy Birthday to our wonderful boys, Keith, Holden, and Jarrett. Twelve years old! The day you were born, I was forever changed, I personally went from a Lad to a Man. You give me hope, endless laughter, and joy. Know this; there will never be a father who loves their sons more than I love you....

Happy Birthday Jim, maker of films, and fine artist.

“Jim Jarmusch once told me, Fast, Cheap, and Good…pick two. If it’s fast and cheap it won’t be good. If it’s cheap and good, it won’t be fast. If it’s fast and good, it won’t be cheap. Fast, cheap, and good…pick two. Words to live by.”

The country’s largest police union, the Fraternal Order of Police, has spoken out against the pardons, as has the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote: “Law and order? Back the blue? What happened to that [Republican Party]?”

This is a book by Budde that's ironically available for $ 14.00 on Amazon. I'm buying it and I'm agnostic.

"He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot."

"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made."

"Those are my principles, and if you don't like them...well, I have others."

Who ever needs to hear this:
Don't let anyone beat you down. Stay positive. You don't need to be a wall against fascism but you can be a brick. Do small things, be an upstander.

There are few things that confound and infuriate Conservative Christians quite like the simple, clear, unadorned words of Jesus as documented in the Bible that they so loudly and frequently claim to love, believe in, and live by. It's almost miraculous.
