Exceptionally average with a mind as sharp as a Nerf™ ball.
If I weren't me, I'm not sure I'd follow me. Mostly silliness, bad jokes, and groaners. Reading, cycling, cooking, jazz, the odd Lego, and whatnot.

The tears of Marine Le Pen making the rounds here is a nice sentiment. But the image has been repurposed. She was actually laughing there. We haven't seen her yet. Sorry

So. Been watching the legislative elections on French TV. Now what they're saying is exactly what you'd expect. Except their clothes fit properly!

That's how you do it. Great article. Best line, maybe: "it’s incredible to think that only a short while ago we thought we’d eradicated measles and Nigel Farage. Both have now been brought back, largely by the same people."

Yup. As an aside, it was late in life when I realized that actual power was NOT the ability to DO something, but mostly the ability to PREVENT someone from doing something.
for me, JAWS has become a covid movie, tho it's about many things, and its original themes still resonate. that feeling in your gut when something's fucked. everyone tells you it's fine, and why, and you know they're wrong. and you wait. and then you regret waiting. JAWS is about that feeling.

Good grief. To think that only a few weeks ago my favourite places to travel were the U.S. and France.

You really have to wonder how many "Kamala Harris Is Unelectable" articles the @nytimes.com has lined up already. Must be something to behold.

NGL, I did not expect a reference to Captain Scarlet today.
Today I saw what I suspect to be my first Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle in the wilds of Woodstock. Now keeping a weather eye out for Mysterons.
