Waiting with baited breath to hear what the catch is now that Trump has "reversed" and is suddenly calling for the release of the Epstein files. 'Cuz no way are his revolting team of scabs letting anything bad happen to the Cheeto monster. How will they control the narrative this time? Riveting!

Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.

My theory is that they are making the 2-factor authentication process so ridiculously obstreperous that when they finally offer us the option of eyeball-scanning instead we will jump at the opportunity.

Okay, so this government is toasted garbage. Who wants to start a new government? What we did the first time was get a bunch of people to create a declaration of independence and sign it, so apparently that suffices.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

It was kind of a toss-up in 1791 whether Vermont would become a Canadian or Union state. The big reason we went with the Union was to settle some bothersome land disputes. We suspected we might have to pay for wars we didn't want if we joined the Union, and, well.

We celebrate this Easter Sunday with a reading from the Gospel according to James Tate.
Jesus got up one day a little later than usual. He had been dreaming so deep there was nothing left in his head. What was it? A nightmare, dead bodies walking all around him, eyes rolled back, skin falling off. But he wasn’t afraid of that. It was a beautiful day. How ’bout some coffee? Don’t mind if I do. Take a little ride on my donkey, I love that donkey. Hell, I love everybody.
