I was parked for an hour today while waiting for my ex to finish the appointment I drive them to, so I took the opportunity to make a new crow friend while I sat there.

i wouldn't be who i am today without Monty Python.

the first show i ever watched was the philosophers’ soccer match and it was life altering.

wasn’t even a pre-teen, but i was always an avid reader and i’d go thru my dad’s bookcase and read some of the philosophy and sociology books he’d kept from college and graduate school. we also had a full encyclopedia & atlas that i’d read like comics books.

so that night, i understood most of the jokes; and a blerd was born:

"A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were not the suspects the agents were looking for."

"... about 20 men, armed with guns, busted through the door."

"... they ordered her and her daughters outside into the rain before they could even put on clothes."

"Now, Marisa said they have, quite literally, nothing."
