Cranky old queer bear in Mid-City, NOLA. Previous lives in San Francisco, Boston. Grew up in Champaign-Urbana, IL. Proud Uni High and UIUC (Univ. of Illinois-Urbana) graduate. 80s BA in Soviet History. No fascists. No Trump. NO gay Republicans. Ever.
You're welcome. As I said. Far more eloquent than I, since being a writer (and a funny one) is his job.
A glory hole is the opening to the furnace you use to blow glass. I'm sure this guy has never blown glass before. But he's given lots of blow jobs.
a sentient being from Tolkien! It has enormous gnarled branches. It's outlived a normal lifespan by 30+ years. When it does go, it's going to take everything below with it which will be sad. But when it blooms it's GLORIOUS. Covered in white flowers. This was the tree in 2019. House? What house?
The only person I've seen seriously apologize for being hoodwinked was Michelle Goldberg at the NYT (7/7/26).
In all the Platner mess, few people have been willing to admit they were wrong about him. One of the few is NYT columnist Michelle Goldberg, who is always even handed and level headed. She's also not afraid to admit she was wrong about Mr. P. (Gift Link). www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/o...
What puzzles me the most is that dude gave him ALL THAT £ and bitch couldn't be bothered to fix his fucking teeth. What IS it with even posh Brits like Nigel and teeth? They're all rotten and have giant gaps. He and I are the SAME age. I look AMAZING by contrast. My teeth aren't rotten either.
Jake Tapper couldn't care less. Not even his fucking wife cares. She's in China doing business with the regime there because her family's enormous business demands it. She's a billionaire who has shit to do. She can't be bothered to deal with a dying husband.
The ironic thing is that one of the grievances of the Declaration of Independence is that King George III was interfering with.....wait for it....wait for it....IMMIGRATION to the US!
He looks so cute! This is one day I'm very happy to own a deaf dog! (Butter says hi to Tater Tot!)
The Rs are always on about WASTE, FRAUD and ABUSE. I present to you.....WFA. And the walking crooked New Jersey Sopranos stereotype (replete with $7.95 Amazon toupee) to go with it.
She sure does. That movie totally holds up. All the sight gags. Plus.... "The white zone is for loading and unloading ONLY."
good (we're both a little hot headed now and then). But he's always been there for me. When I got married in 2009 I didn't ask him to give the toast, I asked his sister who's very funny. But after she was done, he got up and gave a beautiful toast. Made me cry. Thanks Dad. Love you.
The more of her fiction you read, the more you realize this is the case. I've read most of it. And love it (Cat's Eye is my favorite one). She's rarely wrong about people. (Often funny too, people don't give her enough credit for humor). From The Testaments. She loves her plays on words. 😜
It's like when Wednesday "smiles" in Addams Family Values and all the kids step back and gasp and Amanda says "Gary! She's scaring me!"
Butter won't get in the pool, but invites Eddie to play in the mud!
The Ukrainians attacked a refinery in Tyumen, EAST OF THE URALS today. 2300km from Ukraine. They are showing that they can attack wherever they want. And there seems to be little that the Russians can do about it. Minsk is next. Lukashenko ignores the warnings at his peril.
@uppitynegress.bsky.social I thought you would enjoy this. And further, enjoy spreading it around.
Poor Stephen Miller. He's barely a human being (See totally real picture). The people who make these claims aren't remote the big butch MANLY MEN they claim to be. Miller? Cruz? PAXTON? I mean come on. They're all creepy weirdos. Middle aged fat guys with paunches. All hat and no cattle.
In San Francisco at Land's End and in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, there are signs that say: 'PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SWEPT FROM THE ROCKS AND DROWNED.' National Parks Service is not screwing around.
Butter wonders why I was late on the train to Snuggle Town. AS USUAL, DADDY! Better have treats!
