I have weird dreams all. The. Time.

Last night, I met Jordan Peterson on a pirate ship. Like, it was still modern day—he was in a suit—but we were on a historic pirate ship. We started talking about surgeries, and it turns out we had the same procedure done: we had something removed through our back. (I forget what it was except to say outside of dream-world it was definitely nonsense.) He had something about it he wanted to show me, so he took his shirt off and showed me this massive, gnarly scar that ran over the course of his back. But that wasn't the weird thing. The weird thing was his back tattoo. It was ginormous, from his shoulders all the way on downward. It looked very much Escher's lizard tessellations, except really cubist, like if Picasso did them instead. The tattoos moved like the Illustrated Man.

Then I woke up.

I usually don't share these things.

I can't figure out if King's take was shade on the show.

No, King’s got pretty partisan blinders…

I got that impression from his programmed woke response to JK Rowling. But I didn't really know how deeply ignorant he was. Being a fanboi of Brian Stelter sure settles that question.

Yes, she is a brand. But how far will that get you. It couldn't get McCain elected to anything past Senator in his state, and to give the devil his due, McCain did take care of issues at home.

McCain was the darling of the media world...You couldn't turn on a Sunday political show or CNN, and not see McCain. Then, he ran for President and for the most part, they turned on him.

Notice...Obama, Trump and Zelenski all swagger.

While Biden staggers. Like his voters do, under the weight of guilt and shame for supporting him.

I could probably remember the lyrics to most of those.

I probably couldn’t even recognize a top 20 song of the last 15 years.

Weird choice but I can totally see it.

Pat, a heart surgeon liked death metal.

Remember the band names? (I hate death metal myself but it's Power Metal-adjacent, so I know some bands.)

The guy who did my jaw surgery was a huge Dead-head.

Not in The Chocolate City.

Doggy humiliation.

I still think alcohol prevents COVID. I didn't get it for three years, then I go to a funeral without any and BAM!

Go get a shot!

"But experts are still baffled about the exact age, meaning of the stones, and the reason why they were erected in the first place."

A fine choice of words, eh? 😆

Intentionally so!

@Mik Perfect!!!!

Nukes? What nukes?

I've had boomers and soaking rain off and on all day. About an hour ago, out of the comparatively quiet blue came a !!!CRRRACK!!! so stupendously loud that I jumped and shouted bad words. Got to wondering if primitive man, the first time they experienced that, died in the droves from sheer shock and fright.

August is putrid for weather. I'm done. If this shit doesn't stop Ima write a letter and I'm not kidding.

@LuFins-Dad said in Football: WTG, Kyle.:

What costume do you think Tom's wearing? He could be the Egyptian mummy at the end...

He's back, and he's denied on Twitter that he was filming The Masked Singer.

I assume he’ll be a commentator like Tom Friedan.
