They killed a young poet on a street while a university in Texas forbids teaching Plato (among other things), and president can’t stop talking about buying an island that has no desire to be sold. That was the first week of the year in a strange country getting stranger by the hour, my Horatio.

Last week I met with a very distinguished Latina and upon reading up more on her background, it looks like she went to high school with my Dad and his fam. I wonder if they knew each other? Pic is from around that time - my Dad is on the right, Tío Chuy on the left.

Tomorrow is my brother's bday (big number bday!) and he loves The Cure. So my idea to celebrate his bday was a Cure themed party. Messy hairs, messy red lipstick, dark eyeliner, a Cure soundtrack, and cured meats. No one went for it.

I'm obviously not watching the english language broadcast of the women's Euro final, but can't imagine having to listen to the waste of space that is Alexi Lalas. Carly Lloyd was at least on a successful US women's team, tho her opinions are also usually dumb.

Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane.
This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.
