Oh, the last sentence borders on the ridiculous.
"The unnamed suspects motives are also unknown."
"Critics Say Submersible Should've Been Tested With Poorer Passengers First"
https://www.theonion.com/critics-say-submersible-should-ve-been-tested-with-poor-1850566314Sorry if someone has already posted this. And sorry if this satire is just a little TOO satirical.
I know Father's Day is over, but i have to share this, out of shame and a bit of serendipity.
Must have been maybe 1985, I came home from work with a live lobster that I was going to treat myself for dinner. Our youngest daughter, 4 years old, was playing 'school' on the living room floor with her Barbie and one of the older kids' lunchbox.
When my daughter wasn't looking, out of what I can only describe as a moment of severely misguided playfulness, I put the live lobster (claws rubber-banded) in the lunchbox and sat back and watched.
The blood-curdling scream went on for a long time, I was interrogated by my wife as to WHY I thought that would be funny, and I think our daughter mistrusted me for quite few months. It has since become a favorite family story.
Anyway, the serendipity part. Yesterday (Father's Day), I was scrolling thru Facebook and saw a Far Side cartoon that i don't remember seeing before. I sent it to all of our 4 children, and they all immediately got the reference!

It is from TheOnion.com, so, of course, its satire that seems entirely plausible!
In honor of Mother's Day, i want to pay tribute to my grandmother, who loved and raised me.
I told somebody the other day, that the only complaint i have about my childhood, is that i wasnt prepared for the realization that not everybody adored me like my grandmother did!
Bless the mothers, biological or otherwise!
I have a trans grandson, and a few years ago, at the beginning of his transition, we watched this
'Ma Vie en Rose' (My Life in Pink). It is a Belgian movie with English subtitles. I had seen the movie before, and when we learned of his transitioning (a sensitive and bit shy 15 year old), we watched the movie together.
He was tremendously moved, and i think a little strengthened, by the movie. Afterwards he asked me through tears, why he had never heard of this movie, why other people had not seen it. I told him that the US had put an R rating on it, even though there was nothing sexual about the movie, to make sure that kids DIDN'T see it!
Here is a link to the trailer:

I know it is available as a rental on YouTube.
I thought to post this, after reading about the teacher whose job is threatened in Florida because of a Disney movie .
Barry Humphries, Australian comedian and creator of Dame Edna Everage, dies aged 89
https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/apr/22/barry-humphries-dies-australian-comedian-death-dead-dame-edna-everage-sir-les-pattersonDon't know how many DU readers are fans of Dame Edna Everage, but i for one will miss 'her' irreverent comedy. This interview with K.D. Lang is one of my favorites -- love watching K.D. having such fun!

A discussion of the Puerto Rican band 'Calle 13' took place here a couple days ago.
I started looking for a song that i hadnt heard for several years, and couldn't remember the name of, but thought that it must have been Calle 13. Just now found it. Love the girl's vocal at beginning!

And, thanks, Judi Lynn!
At what point would IRS start looking into trump's income tax?
If there's evidence that he filed false business records to hide a crime, then it certainly seems likely that he knowingly filed false deductions on his income tax for those years.
Fox News may confuse viewers with "if they can do this to him, they can do it to anybody" bolony, but EVERYBODY understands what happens when you cheat the IRS.
