Musings on DC, ancient Greek, depressingly overweening (in every possible sense) US fascism. Erstwhile Jeopardy! champion; Twitter escapee; just the beer light to guide you.
Lawful in the streets, chaotic in the … toots?? (Relative newcomer to Mastodon & still fumbling toward Masto competence.) William Hung and snow-white tan.

FFS why not just pardon every white criminal in existence to normalize his own crimes🤦🏻♀️
“ #Trump said he would pardon reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who are in prison for charges that include bank fraud and tax evasion”

The Graf Zeppelin visits DC (Oct. 1928). Between the overcast sky and slight overexposure of the negative, it’s a bit spectral & hard to see; it’s more or less in the center of the visible sky, straight up from the Amoco signs.
The LoC caption describes this as “Zeppelin over 13th St.,” but we’re really looking west on E St. NW from 11th St. At left is the Hotel Harrington, still operating today. At right is the Perpetual Building Association, long since demolished, its name notwithstanding.
Today in Department of WTF:
Cotard's syndrome, also known as Cotard's delusion or walking corpse syndrome, is a rare mental disorder in which the affected person holds the delusional belief that they are dead, do not exist, are putrefying, or have lost their blood or internal organs.
What on earth is wrong with these people
Wait till he finds out the women in his house also breathe. Instant crisis
@APBBlue @jalefkowit There's no justification that makes sense, lol. One might as well say that tongue in drink is also a sexual act.
Anyway, I'm fine with people having beliefs like this, it's just when they try and make it my problem, by running on a platform forcing their idiotic ideas down everyone's throats, that it becomes an issue.
@APBBlue @jalefkowit yeah they've been on this whole straw thing for years. I remember Tucker Carlson making fun of Biden for using a straw.
Like, could you be more insecure and closeted?
@jef @APBBlue @jalefkowit There’s telling on yourself and then there’s whatever the hell that guy’s doing.
@jalefkowit They are so very, very secure in their masculinity
(?)
I think Burchett just means... He doesn't mind getting lipstick on his glass or mug.
Also... Holy fragile masculinity, Batman.
Fellas, is it gay to imbibe liquids?
@jalefkowit phallic obsession
that's why he won't do it. he looks at a straw, he sees a penis. So there will be no sucking, because not only is he a homophobe, but the straw as penis analogy hits way too close to home for his personal comfort.
My gender is straw-drinker-sometimes.
No red-blooded man’s gonna suck on a straw; in THIS house we slurp the rim!
@jalefkowit Does he know that some cities have enacted laws that prohibit restaurants from giving customers plastic straws unless the ask for one? (I always refuse a straw, unless it's a smoothie or a milkshake or some other thick beverage that requires one.)
It's so environmentally conscious of him to refuse to use a straw!
