And then I said
Dec. 20th, 2022 01:55 pmAs irritations cause the oyster to make pearls, Facebook causes me to make comments. I am bringing a few I like to these friendlier environs…
"Goblin mode is a neologism for rejecting societal expectations and living in an unkempt, hedonistic manner without regard to self-image"
For some of us, it's not just a mode. it's a way of life.
Were the Russians lucky or clever when they grabbed Brittney Griner? They pushed a number of MAGAt buttons—
*Black
*lesbian
*celebrity
*caught with ritually unclean substance—
It gave The Former Guy a chance to say that we should have traded for Paul Whelan instead, which it is most likely we could not have done and, as Whelan’s brother noted, The Former Guy did not deign to notice the case when he was president and might conceivably have done something about it.
Second straight day Facebook tells me I have no memories. I find it dubious that I never posted on this date in all the years I’ve been here, but maybe it’s a Dorian Gray thing and my Facebook persona is losing its memories so I don’t.
People as typefaces: Much of humanity is adequately represented by the one we are required to use here,* but me and my friends tend to be Bookface or the dread Comic Sans or even Curlz. If they catch you being Zapf Dingbats, you’ll probably be put away.
Shorter Jeremy Clarkson: Having sexual desire and racial hatred for the same person always makes me want to cry. Will you pay me to do it in public?
You Tube just offered me a video of “Gentle on my Mind.” I want to live in the alternate world where that’s the advertising slogan for a mild psychedelic,
In my adolescence (50s) there were dirty jokes about having a male organ two feet long. As the decencies of public speech fell away, more people realized that such a condition would actually be a deformity and a disability.
I long for the day when the culture as a whole has the same view of similarly hypertrophied wealth and has only pity for those who want to make theirs even bigger.
*Facebook of course. I’m tempted to call it “the neurotypical typeface.”
