Just freaking sick of the impotent WTFs and the defeatist talk that smacks of helplessness. There is and will be times that we no longer can afford to be mere spectators.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump started a reality show where contestants compete for this prize: Becoming Trump’s Groom of the Stool.

How a single French-Canadian captured nearly 100 Nazis, forced more to flee, and liberated an entire town of 50,000 people by himself. Later led victories vs China and North Korea. “I fought the war with only one eye, ... and I did pretty good.” allthatsinteresting.com/leo-major

#covid Here’s an ideal vacation tourist location for the health-aware folks. Fort Henry, Kingston has an awesome CO2 monitor count. That includes the outside parts, the indoor display rooms (doors open) and even the dungeon!!! Below 500!!! Exceptions: yellow for gift shop & red for bathroom.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. 

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. 

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. 

Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. 

...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

News for those who find the idea of making insects part of your cuisine too gross to accept. It's already happened. www.wyff4.com/article/gros...

Gross, but true: You unknowingly eat bugs every day
You may think you would never eat a bug, but thanks to FDA guidelines, you don't really get to make that choice.

Thanks to Nosferatu, I landed here a while ago. Never got around to being a regular here. Bad enough that I bled too much time on Twitter. My ADHD-sense warned me that another time-bleeder means trouble. Elmo making Twitter an even bigger shithole than ever makes a second home necessary.
