Trump thinks ketchup *is* tomato sauce. That scene at end of Goodfellas, “ketchup and egg noodles”?, Trump thinks that’s OK.

P.S., folks, here's the story Mark refers to… Quite possibly the most "correlation is not causation" study ever written. (The Bullingdon Club mention is literally rich. As in, being a rich ass kid w/ connected daddies and mommies helps one get ahead. Not goddamn booze.)
Heavy drinking in youth may aid career success, study suggests
Research on more than 3,000 people found those who binge drank in their late teens and twenties later achieved higher education and income levels

Day 10. Movie that makes you grateful. I'm grateful to be sober. "Leaving Las Vegas" stays in my mind and I wasn't a drinker (not yet) when it came out. Being unable to sign your own name — that's fhk'n real. And humiliating. #sobersky

First-time watch for me was very late one night as 12yo at my grandparents' house. I had no idea - zero - that movies could end that way. Also, I was way too damn immature for it.

I need to watch that. I haven't had brain space. Or memory. I need to write film title on Post-It note and stick it on TV screen.

I rewatched (for thousandth time??) Planes, Trains & Automobiles the other night. John Candy’s line, “We’d have more luck playing pick-up sticks with our butt cheeks” seems apropos.

It’s like playing fetch with the dog after it’s snowed. Throw a snowball across yard and watch him fruitlessly look for it. The dog here being Dems, of course. Apt metaphor???

This reminds me of a Xmas dinner spent w/ my brother's in-laws. They spoke of Obama being "communist," and in next breath, bemoaned a church friend who went bankrupt over cancer treatments. "The gov't should do something about this!"
Did I argue? No.
Did I get the fuck out? Yes. Yes, I did.

Exactly. So much more pre-processed foods that are artery cloggers or crap substitutes (sugar from beets, not cane).

Day 8. Movie with memorable feast scene. How is this different from Day 5 w/ big family meal? Seems redundant. But, I guess… #Bales2025FilmChallenge #FilmSky #MovieSky #November #HorrorSky

My first crush. I was 5. I wanted to grow up and marry Lynda Carter, and work on The Muppet Show, play for the Phillies, and dive a Sears truck around NE Philly where I lived.
