Hey, y'all

I'm still kicking on my BIRTHDAY!

Just wanted to keep you from worrying about me!

Frankly, I can't wait until Jordan gets the Speaker's gavel

Considering the fact that EVERY SINGLE Republican Speaker for the last thirty years had been eventually politically destroyed. It’s no accident that any Republican congress critter with a lick of sense doesn’t want the job.

The rabid extremists are throwing Jordan to the wolves. He’s going to be eaten alive. I doubt that he’d last six months, due to his own stupidity, malfeasance, corruption and contempt for The Constitution and the American people.

Unfortunately he’s going to inflict damage on the republic before he’s sacked, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles.

The only bit of optimism that I have about this is that we’re another day closer to having a Speaker Jeffries.

Until then, embrace the suck.

If you were to hazard a a guess, what ethnic minority do you think that MAGAts the most?

Black, Latino, Muslim. Jewish or other, it doesn't matter...

I'm wondering who would send them over the edge if this person ran as a liberal candidate for president.

It's for a story I'm working for. I need a last name for an incidental character. This person is going to run for President in the future and lose the election to the bad guy.

By the way, his first name is "Matt."

What I've always found intriguing about my six degrees is how extensive it is.

For example, here, I am with Margot Kidder:



Kidder was, of course, once married to Pierre Trudeau:


(So many connections from that alone)

Here's Trudeau with Fidel Castro:



Who once met my great Uncle, Joe Louis:



And here's the picture that I took of my Uncle Joe with one of my cousins:



This just goes to show that MrScorpio is at least within six degrees of seperation of, uh... MrScorpio.

Hark, what is that giant, luminous orb wafting gently o'er yonder horizon?

Shall I howl at it?

It vexes me so.

On a dark desert highway...



Cool wind in my hair


Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air


Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light


My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night


There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell


And I was thinking to myself
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"


Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way


There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say


"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face


Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here"


Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz, uh


She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends


How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat


Some dance to remember, some dance to forget


So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"


And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say


"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face


They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis"


Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"


And in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast


They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast


Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before


"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"

I'm listening to the indictment coverage on C-Span

it's really disheartening to hear all of the fucking idiots calling in supporting Trump.

These people are utterly delusional... And they vote.

We are in serious trouble.

I wondered how an AI would render coloring and texturing my original art

I have to say that I’m intrigued now.

I would just use a paintings program to fix any errors. What do you think?
