- My suggestion: Lauren Boebert to head the National Endowment for the Arts, which she probably thinks involves a bunch of perverted guys named Arthur.
- Do you get the feeling Trump’s naming nominees not to get the Senate’s approval, but to get the Kremlin’s?
- Alex Jones’s next media appearance really must be as a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars” to prove to us non-believers the effectiveness of his touted supplements. Better: “Wipeout.”
- There are a lot of junior-grade Russian intelligence analysts at the Kremlin who developed dossiers on C-level players in MAGA World who are now salivating at the likelihood those intelligence targets will get presidential appointments in January and those analysts’ careers will take off.
- I’m really looking forward to four years of press briefings from the White House focusing on how oppressed Donald Trump is. Really.
- Funny how Matt Gaetz leaves the House two days before the Ethics Committee would release its report on the investigation into his sexual exploitation of minors, meaning it can’t release the report because the subject is no longer in the House. Just a coinkidink, right?
- They thought they were getting JFK, Jr. They got the Dollar Store ripoff: irregular, barely sellable, and certainly not worthy of the brand.
- I haven’t abandoned Twitter yet, but I started using BlueSky (@jackinec, if you’d care to follow) more, and utilizing the Lists function to divide those in my feed into the sections of a newspaper: News, Sports, Business, Entertainment. It makes things so much easier and psychically satisfying to have feeds without politics.
- The morning routine got a temporary revision for a couple days, replacing the usual coffee with brewed tea, and that was clearly a mistake. Don’t know why, but two cups of black tea sparked the worst caffeine jitters in my life.
- Guess what? Even with Trump in the White House, Kevin Sorbo still won’t get an acting gig because it’s got nothing to do with politics.
- Somehow, my Bluetooth connection autoplay (which I would love to learn how to turn off) switched from playing a sleep-aiding thunderstorm soundtrack that I thought I had deleted around 2019 to Der Kommissar by After the Fire (in the original German), and I am not upset by that. (Well, I am about autoplay autoplaying every time I connect my earbuds, but no longer about the song choice.)
- Saw my first ad for “BFCM” and I thought I had stumbled into some obscure Pornhub category, but learned it’s shorthand for upcoming “Black Friday/Cyber Monday” sales.
- Networks, please stop trying to turn live sporting events into video games. Stop with the player selection circles and the real-time route drawing. That’s what the replays are for.
- The leftover Halloween candy won’t make it to Thanksgiving this year.
- I don’t understand why every pizza place doesn’t put little nuggets of plain, unseasoned baked dough on their menus called “Pizza Bones for Dogs.” Every pet owner would get an order when they buy a pie for themselves.
- Everyone has a “comfort” soup. For many Americans, it’s the traditional chicken noodle soup. But for me, Japan does it better with miso soup or an bowl of udon and broth. And I won’t say no to a good bowl of pho, either.
- Never forget that the goal of Republicans is to show the government to be incompetent, so their selections to run it must prove their thesis.
