Make it make sense. Sure, there’s a hardcore base that won’t ever abandon Trump, no matter what. But do they ALL come out to vote in a primary, just because he says so? I know it’s a primary, so it’s all GOP voters, but even there, I would expect Massie to pull a lot of them.

The fact that Trump still has this much grip on the GOP makes me even more depressed than I already was. And I was already pretty depressed.

Perhaps they become rude as a psychological defense mechanism against the constant flood of loud-wealth “alpha males” coming into the store and trying to push them around. Sure, not all Rolex buyers are Andrew Tate wannabes, but all Andrew Tate wannabes are Rolex customers.

I feel like I’m howling into the void on this because he’s the most corrupt son of a bitch who has ever been in public life, and nothing should surprise me anymore, because every day brings a new outrage. But this one really is crazy. He’s not even hiding it or trying to be clever. He’s just taking $1.6 billion of taxpayer money and giving it to people that he likes. And of course most of the money will go to him.

This is just flat out theft. This one is so naked and simple that even the most idiotic MAGA person can understand it. And they’ll still vote for him.

I have a small-ish collection—maybe 100 LPs. But some are really nice editions, thick vinyl, remastered, some have hardly been played, they’re well cared for. My turntable is a modest Rega P3 from about 25 years ago, nothing fancy but I like it. I used to really enjoy listening to vinyl, and the ritual — record washer, brushes, shopping for those used gems.

But it’s been ages since I played a record and honestly it’s just sheer laziness. Any advice?

I would bet Elon Musk has never read the Iliad or the Odyssey. But sure, opine away. I would love to see someone quiz him on it on stage or live TV.

I predict it will start by end of day today, and by middle of next week they’ll hit $1 million.

I’m looking for St. Bernardus, Chimay, Rochefort, Westmalle, Delirium — Trappist ales. I had a good store nearby but they’re not stocking them. Does anyone know a good beer store?

And blame it on Biden and Fauci

Lots of stories lately about the White House briefing Christian pastors about upcoming disclosure of UFOs and non-human intelligence. The story is they’re briefing pastors so they can prepare to deal with their moronic followers who may lose their faith in Christianity once they learn about the space creatures.

Is it just that the people who run psyops always target the most gullible people in the world, and that’s Christians?

His numbers are at record lows across every metric. The economy. The war. The stupid ballroom. The arch. Americans are sick of him. We hear that a lot of Republicans in private hate him. They know he’s crazy. And I don’t think he has enough influence to get someone primaried. Why won’t they break with him?

The shooting. The king’s visit. The indictment of Comey. The ballroom. It’s such a firehose of insanity and bullshit, I just can’t take it anymore.
