We don’t have another

The fight for poor air quality!

Watch Obama bag on him in public. Watch him struggle to retain his composure. And that was in 2011, long before the dementia got a solid hold.

Thanks Obama!

So, this person is saying that the Fed has been so politicized that it’s going to start ping-ponging across the aisle and that our own financial policy will become so unstable that the US dollar won’t be a safe bet. I can see it.

That means the American institution that is left in control of the dollar’s fate by keeping spending (and thus the debt) under control is…. Congress.

This irritates me. That is their job. The Fed is supposed to be an “oh shit” backup. Congress exists to spend into our economy.

I want to play frog bongers!

That should do, thanks.

This meme was meant for me

I’m getting older and I find that I have a bit more trouble reading with my contacts in.

I had been just wearing my glasses and taking them off all the time as I’m pretty nearsighted.

The last week or so I’ve been experimenting with one contact. My natural nearsightedness takes care of the close stuff, then my corrected contact for anything past four feet or so.

All that to say, quite unnecessarily, that I’ve experienced the world as simultaneously fuzzy and clear and have been trying to figure out what’s blurry for days.

Honestly, there’s no real decoding this. There’s no hidden messages or trying to see the underlying logic.

I’m guessing they’ve either got a little cult where they’ve given specific meaning to this little phrase, or it’s just as dumb as it sounds and makes no sense.

I’m guessing it makes no sense on account of the it not making sense.

It’s been a rough one

And honestly, maybe a global nuclear war is the appropriate action.

Too bad those sliding phones never really caught on

I loved these two when I was a kid.

She’ll give up Trump’s most wanted and head off into the sunset (or resume operations, one).

There goes middle management

That lines up with my existential dread.

When I was in school, I worked in a coffee shop and I’d down espresso shots/drinks until closing and then jump in the bed.

Twenty years later, I have a cup a few times a week and if I have much more I start to get wired feeling, or have trouble sleeping that night.

I’ve read that’s part of getting older, caffeine just hits a bit harder.

I guess I just don’t feel bad for corporations.

Some of the viral videos show this in action. In one, a man can be heard telling employees at Chipotle that he was called in to “clean house” because portion sizes have been “lacking.”

He makes a phone call to call in his troops, who then begin haphazardly “cleaning” the restaurant and attempting to enter the employees-only area behind the counter as the store’s manager calls the police.

Honestly, it’s kinda funny. I wouldn’t watch the video, but reading the article brought out a chuckle.

It’s probably been twenty years, but I only remember thinking that the movie was ok.

It sucks that the distribution was all whacked, but I’m not sure I’d just buy this without a rewatch.

I only have a red vase.

Edit: I have a brown one too, but not an octopus in the whole house.
