Was Worst.

December 1, 2020

I'll bet Joe Biden does his own hair every morning.

He's a resourceful man. I can imagine him in front of the mirror. Four or five swipes with a comb, and it's all done in less than ten seconds. Nobody around to help.

So Mote It Be.

Time to bring on the monkeys! Large, bristling gangs of them.







I can't imagine anything more fun than watching a monkey- trump pile-up.

And this: Other whistle-blowers, gone.



Chen Qiushi is one of the people I followed on YouTube for his latest news of the Corona virus, and now he's disappeared. This is a nightmare.

Thanks for the tip, dewsgirl! I found this yesterday:

I'd never heard of Chris Martens before then, but he inspired my confidence.

"Thumbs-Up": When a (universally-understood) positive gesture goes BAD

I'm a child of the seventies. All of us in America, everyone with a thumb, expressed approval & enthusiasm with the signal. There are so many pics from that time onward indicating joy or sarcasm from children and adults of every background. I myself was making the gesture up until, I don't know, 3 years ago?

I loathe it now. I've lost all regard for the "thumbs up". I have no use for it. I've seen too, too many pictures of pasty rich powerful ugly nasty cruel old men using it. And their slimy, mean smiles. It feels like they're giving me the finger.

Sometimes, this is how it's done, I think: working on people's heads, turning the meaning of something around completely. Incidentally, if I wanted to destroy another nation from within, I'd start with its very language, and I think this is no different.
