I am among those blown away! I re-read it every couple of years. Also "The Perfect Prince" was a pretty fantastic tour of 15th c social perception and construct plus an enduring mystery...

Do you know how language works? Using "but" does not automatically and directly negate what came before; sometimes it just indicates a complex thought. As it does here.

Fucking Josh Hawley can't seem to shut up. He's one I look forward to seeing up against the wall.

I know it's been a tough year - check those couch cushions and if you can find a little something to send, that would be SO GREAT. You just never know when it's going to be your turn in the barrel ... build good karma!

The destruction of the Rose Garden really burned my biscuits.
A color photo of Jacqueline Kennedy in a pink shift dress examining a rose in her now-defunct rose garden. Defunct due to the tasteless excrescences of the person holding the Presidency as of this writing.

I sure hope that's your squash and you're not lurking in some stranger's allotment, perpetrating a squashy abduction

The thing it reminds me of is having a tumor. Doesn't even have to be cancer, just a growth. Or maybe even a canker sore ... it won't kill you, but the pain is ubiquitous and somehow you can't stop tonguing it to see if it still hurts.

In my former field, we call this preventive care and it's a smart move to preserve your peace.

Is this gardening or psychotherapy and is there a difference, really.

Leaving the laws of physics and human biology aside for the moment - if this had been real the coverage of the purported assassin would be endless and ongoing. Endless. I don't believe a word that comes from his anal sphincter of a mouth.

Mice or voles is my guess. Holding tiny little hole-punches. Look around, I bet you can find them strung up as festive decorations.

21 days before the 25th anniversary of September 11th, the United States imposes 50% tariffs on the country that gave its citizens refuge during the worst terrorist attack in US history.

It has always given me the ick. I think it's because I'm seeing Hitchcock's psyche more clearly than I care to.

So here's my question: every depiction of St. Lucy, she's both holding her eyes (plucked out by herself or others) AND she's got working eyes still in her head. Is that the miracle? Or does she carry spares the way I do reading glasses?

The look on Jack Haley's face tells me he may have been dealing with that same conundrum.

The newsagent finally asks what on earth he's looking for? "Obituary," the man says. "OH, but obituaries aren't on the front page, sir," the newsagent says...

Man goes to a newsstand, buys every paper, looks at the front page, throws it down, disgusted. He does this several times.
