Notes for November 15, 2024.

November 15, 2024. Day .

English needs a word for the past tense of "read" that isn't "read".

My friend Rel Farrar sent me this, and I am O.K. with saying I didn't read the editorial highlighted here because: what a stupid idea. Thanks again the The New York Times, who, in their eternal search to find the middlest of middle grounds on things that actually matter, found someone to recommend that we welcome our new insect overlords (i.e., the fascists).

You wanna know how to avoid spurious political prosecutions? If I were the President I would simply not do any crimes, making it difficult to prosecute me without looking like a bunch of desperate assholes.

Cartoon of the day.

NPR Watch: I listened to a few minutes of All Things Considered. Ari Shapiro editorialized that the choice of Gaetz for AG was "surprising", to which I say: really? You're surprised? O.K., man. We all knew you did a poor job reporting on the election before Election Day; why change now? Are you being sarcastic? It doesn't work on the radio.

Then he had a guy on who claimed Gaetz has a lot of friends on the Democratic side because they think "he's a fun guy to hang out with".

You know how Ken dolls' clothes kind of fit weird, because the fabric was so thick and polyester-y? I saw that fit on a person on Columbo. He looked like a walking Ken doll.

Can y'all even keep up with the amount of accounts in your Facebook feed you have to block? I liked a vegan recipe (I guess) and the next day there were dozens of vegan groups shoving recipes in my carnivorous face.
