It's a cup trick shell game, it's a puff of smoke
I seem to have spent much of this day driving in a nor'easter, when all the potholes overflowed and every other driver in between the streaming gutters drove like a hydroplaning yak. I got to see
rushthatspeaks and secured a new inhaler and an appointment with a pulmonologist. Foods of the hour look like pastrami, scones, and a Zagnut.
Last night's shooting at the Capital Jewish Museum is still going around in my head, even if I didn't have people in the Jewish professional community of D.C. I don't want to entertain a referendum on the politics of the victims any more than I want to hear it about detained students or deportees, but it feels too cheap for irony that the shooter targeted an event with a focus on humanitarian aid in Gaza: all that mattered was that it aggregated Jews. The word antisemitism should be like hot iron in the mouth of the man in the White House. What he has to offer, none of us need.
In stark contrast to the mishegos with FB, when Criterion's website refused to honor a gift certificate I had received from them in the last month, I was able to get a real live person on their customer support staff who solved the problem for me so that I could ship a DVD of Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) to a relative who really needed it. Maybe I should try to bribe them for editions of my favorite films.

I know that you know how to stay and keep safe. It's just the four hundred and fifty miles.
If somebody slips on his hairpiece and falls down the stairs across town, that I can’t help.
Gravity, it's the natural order of all things, baby.

b) the debrief was DRY AF and HOMELAND SECURITY was in it and half what kept me awake was watching the PD hunch and mantle at Homeland Security
c) he'd fight gravity, that dumb fucker, he'd pick the fight. I wish, somehow, the day he decided to fight Death, that I could be the one personally to tweak his nose and say "No." I would do it honorably, in the name of so many.
