Yes.

He's not allowed phone calls but he can tweet?

Where does he plug in his phone and how many bars does it get? Or is there WiFi in the SHU?

I loved her translation. I enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed her review. It's weirdly easy to do so.

As an engaged Kentucky voter I concur.

It's a completely ridiculous demand, that Democrats force the GOP to remove McConnell so they can gain a vote in the Senate. Why the hell would we want that? The only accounts promoting it are bots and people who are so stupid they're effectively about as conscious as bots.

Mitch McConnell isn't dead, but he is dying, and the best possible situation for Democrats is the one we have now, where he's too sick to leave the hospital but too stubborn to resign, and you should be extremely suspicious of people demanding Democrats rescue the GOP from this situation.

I’ve seen one 2026 film, The Hail Mary Project. I enjoyed it. So it’s my favorite until I see another 2026 release.

Most of my mental images of the Odyssey derive from fragmentary memories of Kirk Douglas in Ulysses (released 1953), which I watched on the WKY TV Saturday Creature Feature when I was, what, 10 years old.

The kerfuffle over Nolan's Odyssey motivated me to dust off Fagle's translation, which I bought in 1998; now rereading. Yesterday I bought Wilson's version, and Emily Hauser's Penelope's Bones, largely because of Wilson's witty response to Nolan (plus her tattoos, I confess).

Staples is performing in Indianapoils in November, but tickets aren’t on sale til August 7. Mrs. Dr. Omed and I plan to be there. She’s playing dates in Europe too.

Need to unfollow someone because you don't understand what they're talking about? 1, have you even been on social media before? 2, don't whine about in their replies. The older I get (and I'm old) the less I understand the latest internet-ese and topics. I either find out, or ignore it. Learn or die

This is an insult to Jimothy, and all trash pandas. #jimothy #elon

A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.

Black Spring, by Henry Miller; The White Goddess by Robert Graves.

The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.
