Love the part where Patty is going full asshole on Snoopy and Charlie Brown, and Sally truly doesn’t give a shit, continuing to mow down on her popcorn.

The Nazis waged a war on Christmas, banning Advent calendars and replacing them with a pamphlet which provided daily illustrations of soldiers doing their duty and the like. Wheeeee!

It's weird how few of Darger's researchers drew any parallels between his "In the Realms of the Unreal..." and the Oz books (he had a full set). The Marvelous Land of Oz features a little boy suddenly learning he's actually a little girl, who transforms into the beautiful Princess Ozma.

Whenever I saw Udo Kier's name, I remembered an article a long-gone friend wrote where he referred to him as "the loathsome Udo Kier." I'm not sure what he had against him.

I bet Trump is thinking he can still "reinvent" himself, because he wants what Mamdani has—youth, potential, respect, hope. But those things are all gone now, because he wasted them in pursuit of power. He hated Obama for the same reason.

Back then I prayed Corey Flood would come and save me. She'd tell me "Be a man. Don't be a guy," and I'd make her forget all about Joe.
