It's beyond frustrating to have to google the name of anyone in charge of disease control in the U.S. to see if they used to be a game show host.

Honestly not sure which is worse: some sportsball bigshot boffing a woman young enough to be his granddaughter AND LETTING HER MAKE THE CALLS or the duo acting out their slowroll sexay bullshit with one naming her kid after the coach. I just don't know. I never thought football was interesting.

The night Americans made the second-worst decision of their lives (Nov 2106), this is what I was doing in Miami on a Smart Car launch. Can't remember what I was doing when they made the worst decision 8 years later. Probably wishing I was having a blast on a junket.
a crazy woman (me) wearing white jeans and a white top standing next to a Smart Car that has been stickered white in 2016. A graffiti artist is spraypainting my jeans. I pretended it was art. I wasn't. It was drunken chaos. Trump had just won the election and I was on a Miami beach with a bunch of German engineers who wanted me, a Canadian, to explain why Americans had lost their minds. I had no answer. So, spraypaint.

An assassination attempt on the president of the USA and we all just shrug because it's all just an AI world now. You paved the way for this, you idiot, this is what you get. Remind me when to start caring about something real because you've already cashed in my credulity for clickbait attention.

"Trump’s ‘excursion’ should have had a clear end state for operations, and an exit strategy of how to get out and go home. In the inebriated videogame thinking of Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon I suspect there was no such thing." New term: 'mowing the lawn'. They're so fucked. archive.ph/32RXe#select...
