An old locomotive engineer drinking deeply from the boulevardier of broken dreams, if not drinking really good coffee. Remember the miraculous absurdly of being alive. “It’s a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace, and a wound that will never heal”.

These privileged frat bros gang raped a girl and invited others to join in for SEVEN HOURS. The story was buried, only two were expelled, and we are only hearing about it now because the victim is suing. Cornell, the police, and the system protected them. The Cornell Seven:

I may not know much, but I do know one thing. For the rest of his life, whenever anyone encounters FBI director Patel, he should be greeted with a hearty “K-a-a-a-a-a-sh!”

No shit. We could have avoided all of this chaos and fuckery if our government had done the right thing. Now we all get to suffer since the MAGA GOP has no balls or patriotism.

I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

A happy Labor Day to Casey Jones, an affable man well liked by white and black co workers alike. Running at least 75 mph, he came round a blind curve and saw red markers ahead of him, yelled for his black fireman Sim to jump, dumped his air, reversed his engine and rode her into the crash.

This close up shot from Evelyn Hockstein on September 2 looks less like a president and more like a wax figure left too close to a heater. Fuckface's skin is orange and slick, his eyes are bloodshot, and he's sweating through what should be a routine photo op.

From Middle English around the late 14th century, (which comes from tromper, meaning "to deceive"). Noun Meaning: 1. Showy but worthless finery; cheap, gaudy trash. 2. Nonsense, rubbish, or deceptive talk. Adjective Meaning: Showy but lacking substance; worthless or trashy. Guess they knew Trumps 🤷

Hate often is but a mask covering the weakness of men. There is a way out. Better yourself, read deeply and be curious about the world you inhabit, and realize there is only one race…it is us, this kaleidoscope of humanity. There is no “them”, there is only us.

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

”Casablanca”, Well remembered for its leading actors, and a (for that time) memorably sympathetic and dignified portrayal of Rick’s stalwart best friend and black American Sam, The Villain was a hero as well. Conrad Veidt, silent star, fled Germany to protect his beloved wife, who was Jewish.
