: It's the name of a style of IKEA chair, and it's also the sound my joints make when I get out of bed in the morning.

: If I'd've won the $60mn lottery in 1990, one of the signs would've been a BBC/A&E/CBS co-production of the crossover every murder mystery on Earth would've tuned in for:

Lt. Columbo in rural England solving a murder alongside Miss Marple, with the best villain's villain alive at the time.

: The GOP, Tories, neolibertarians, (often) neoliberals, the religulous, the techbro/dudebro pseudointellectuals, the Bronze-Agers of every major religion, and bigots in general fit this.

: Still on this one. Gonna do it before the election.

: I never have understood why so many people consistently express shock, outrage, and such whenever the people they say are shocking, outrageous, and such keep saying and doing the same kind of shocking, outrageous, and such shit they always have said and done. I don't mean the folks shouldn't notice or say, "Oh, look; they're saying/doing the same old shit again." I mean their continuing to react the same way to it each time or most of the time makes no good sense.

: ...the only adult in the place, if you get my meaning. Also, I do believe my aunt has learned that my mother kept me a secret and just beyond arm's length for so long because she was, for lack of a better term, embarrassed to a degree about me and my situation. (She and my mom wear their upbringing differently.)

Families are strange, like some kind of microcosm of humanity, eh?

: ...drift away can kindasorta be understood. That said, I was then as I am still: the weird kid. Plus, I'm the disabled one. Everyone in the family kept somewhat up-to-date on me by way of, essentially, whatever my mother told my aunt. (I do not understand the compartmentalization of the family, but whatever.) My other cousin Johnny is at least making the effort, which I appreciate. He went though a mountain of shit for years and years, shouldering a lot of the melodrama because he was kinda...

: I'm looking forward to going to Southport tomorrow. It's my aunt's 80th birthday, and it's only the last year and a few weeks, since my cousin's sudden death, that that quadrant of the family has felt much need to get back in touch again with me since the late 1980s. The background is that I grew up with those cousins. My sister and I did, and they all kept in touch with one another. Starting the late '80s there was a crazy amount of family melodrama going on with that batch, and so the...

: Seeing as how it's Jason Voorhees Day, it is for me dedicated to what many other days are dedicated to, i.e., watching horror movies. I got a late start this AM due to my sleep cycle having been made fakakte by the anesthesia for the procedure this past Tuesday, and so I did't get started until 11 AM EST. Anywho... I am currently watching the original "Sales's Lot" two-part tv movie, the one that scared the shit out of everyone back in the '70s.

: I keep seeing stuff about Elon Musk talking on and on about spawning lots of children. Is that because he's hoping one will eventually like him?

@Liliki @LiberalLibrarian: Probably the current PM of Canada.

: I wandered by IKEA the other evening and snagged an LED "oil" lamp para mi dorimitorio, y me gusta.

: Cultural differences are stark between many nations and peoples.

: I remember a Public Policy professor of mine spoke of such a tax policy in 1990. Made sense to me then and still does today.
