THEY ALWAYS WANT THE INTUITIVE ONES
Scruffy: Lean on me, when you're not strong, And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on...
Muffy: For it won't be long, Till I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on...
Scruffy: Please swallow your pride, If I have things you need to borrow, For no one can fill those of your needs, That you don't let show
Muffy: Dude, I thought you were more intuitive...
Remember that Dennis Quad movie with Lou Gossett where Lou played the alien who then died but gave a little one to Dennis to care for, when I think of climate change, I think of that movie and how we will only get through all of this by
SHARING AND CARING
It's the only way if we are going to salvage an existence worth existing in.
Ken-Dogger: Hey PeeWee, morning…
PeeWee: Hey Bro, I’m sad.
KD: I get sad sometimes too, what’s up?
PW: I’m sad peeps want to rewrite their own history.
KD: Yep, some just want to make their lives into what it’s not.
PW: How you live your life, that’s your record.
KD: True, the daily little tasks become your life.
PW: So you can do them well, or you can do them poorly.
KD: Peeps know what you do, how you did it, and what it meant.
PW: Revising intent is a loser’s game…why I’m sad.
Ted Rall on Where to Find the Money...
The idea that military expenditures are "must-pass" relies on the assumption that the U.S. faces existential threats to its safety and/or sovereignty. This is crap.
As Stratfor's classic 2011 assessment of the U.S. and its geopolitical position noted: "The American geography is an impressive one."

Historybook: Mount Vesuvius erupts, killing up to 15,000 people (79); Thomas Edison files patent for the Kinetoscope, an early motion-picture viewer (1891); Brazilian author Paulo Coelho born (1947); Windows 95 released (1995).
"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."
- Paulo Coelho, from "The Alchemist"
ON this date in 1932 - Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the U.S. non-stop.
The trip from Los Angeles, CA to Newark, NJ, took about 19 hours.
NY Times reporters Bun Man and Mr. Purple were there in Newark to greet Amelia, who was resplendent in her leather and while silk scarf.

ON THIS DATE...
After those filthy Romans had their way w/ their women, Bun Man and Mr. Purple, from the Northern Germanic tribes, led the charge in 0410 where The Visigoths overran Rome.
This event symbolized the fall of the Western Roman Empire....
This would not be the last time The Boyz tumbled an Empire.
ON this date in 1998 - A Shania Twain concert in Syracuse, NY was halted when lightning hit the ground 40 yards behind the stage.
The concert was almost over at the time of the lightning strike.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple, both long-time music aficionados, were at the show and while they sought shelter, they were not disappointed in the cancellation.
Don't get me wrong, The Boyz loved gawking at Shania as she looked in the 90s; they just couldn't take another sound-alike country twang song...
IT STARTED AS A SIDESHOW, THEN BECAME THE LONG-RUNNING ATTRACTION, UNTIL PEEPS TURNED...

Here's a man, supposedly one of the richest in the world, elected to the most powerful position in the free world (at least it was when he entered office), who commands every freakin' news cycle since 2016, and yet, this dude feels persecuted...
The shallowness and narcissism are pellucid...
Morning Peeps,
AFTER THE LYING STARTS
Ken-Dogger: What ya doing Petra?
Petra: Reviewing my options
KD: Options?
P: Dude, I need a new line of work.
KD: What’s wrong with your current one?
P: I keep having to tell the truth and fix stuff, I need to see my counselor.
KD: Not really sure there is work where you don’t have to tell the truth or fix problems.
P: Is too, Counselor said it is what politicians do, I only need to get elected.
KD: That’s when the lying starts.
Abstract artist Tyler Foust is known for his intricate line drawings formed from one continuous, non-intersecting line. A quote on his website even dubs him “Reddit’s most upvoted artist,” and it’s not hard to see why. “Lines direct eyes and can create some interesting illusions,” Foust tells My Modern Met.
