Granted, my first mistake was posting any sort of compliment on that hellscape that is Zuckerberg’s failed abortion but these are the sort of replies I get. I could go two ways here. One will get be suspended, if not outright banned. 😂

A comment on FB from the lovely Julie Rentz Burns of Minnesota:

ooooh Matt. Coming from a MAN who thinks men can get pregnant and should be allowed to use girls bathrooms! Stay away from children sissy boy!

Also, I’m very late to this book but it was lying around at my Mom’s and I picked it up. Sooooo good.

My Mom knows I’ve been hoping to start a record collection given I have an unopened turntable waiting in storage. She found 4 inaugural records at the thrift shop she volunteers at:

Cover art of Della Reese’ album ‘c’mon and hear’

Cover art of cast recording of ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ starring Chita Rivera and Dick Van Dyke - the first musical I was cast in and the first and last musical my sister and I were in together in high school.

Cover art of cast recording of ‘ Camelot’ starring Richard Burton, Julie Andrews and Robert Goulet.

Cover art of Glenn Miller’s album entitled ‘Glenn Miller originals’

Fuck off, Apple. You made a conscious decision to enact this change and for that you will lose me as a customer. I’ve purchased my last iPhone.

We filed 15 April on time, however it was a paper return due to some unique tax stuff we had. I just got notice the refund was approved (and a sizeable one) four months later. Jesus. I’d like interest accrued on the refund. Does the IRS now delay returns of those left of center? 🙄

Notice from IRS that our 2025 tax refund has been approved.

Took advantage of the temporary $5 promotional East-West ferry to check out Biidaasige Park today. Just needed to get out of the city and feel the sun and wind on my face. Still under construction and will only improve over time as vegetation overgrows it. Reclaimed industrial land at its best.

Perhaps Canada should put tariffs on US products for all the guns that cross the border and make cities here unsafe.

Ok, summer. You proved your point. You can back off a bit now, thanks.

Looking one direction seems just fine. The other, like the 4 Horsemen are about to come barreling at you…

Can hear the cheers of the games a full 30 seconds ahead of tv as apparently the footage they’re showing crowds in the area near the Gardener has no tape delay….

To the multiple trolls I had to block yesterday, Israel would struggle to exist without US and other countries’ aid. American Jewry is not a single entity. Many of us see what you’re doing as deeply, deeply wrong. Wake up, before it’s too late.

Israel is not subordinate to the United States. We are an independent and sovereign country.”

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. (Fun fact. My Mom dated the actor in the lower middle in college before she met my Dad.)
