    Ted Cruz couldn't make a latte to save all his fossil fuel money.

    I picture him blubbering behind a carton of oat milk while suburban moms yell at him for spelling her name "Mariska" instead of "Marissa."

    Man. Men really do tell on themselves.

    So I woke up with something that's literally Black Hairy Tongue. People, including my doctor, seem to think it's no big deal, and will go away soon, but it certainly is gross.

    It's ridiculous how people take the lack of insane flag waving as lack of enthusiasm rather than an urge to not look like a bunch of authoritarian nutsos.

    Years ago I was sobbing in Union Square for ludicrous reasons that felt world-ending at the time, and a young man in a sensible suit stopped and asked if I was ok. I mumble-nodded-shook my head, so he just stood there until I'd pulled myself together, then nodded and walked off.

    I like to think I'd put up a fight, but no, I'd just sit there, miserable in my window seat, wishing for the sweet respite of death.

    I worry about how much that is misogyny. I still don't understand the Hillary hatred, to this very day. I mean, I get have issues with certain of her policies, but the outrage? That seems fueled purely by hatred of women.

    I tried to watch Hocus Pocus the other week because it’s such a beloved movie of the millennials. I literally could not expose my eyeballs to it for more than 15 minutes. Turn on Goonies, tho...

    But it’s not all hidden away though. That’s the problem. He is a racist misogynist who disrespects every contract he’s ever had, ruins lives for sport, has never had empathy and is now plagued with (at least) dementia. It’s all out there in the wide open. That’s why we’re fucked.

    Was biking down the rail trail and this woman yelled at me (well, at everyone), “You’re ruining a beautiful day, take off your mask!!” To which I replied, with all the eloquence I could muster, “FUCK YOU!” Not my finest hour. But, you know, fuck her.

    "Fuck me gently with a chainsaw" is one of the all-time great lines.

    I was sobbing in Union Square by the Gandhi statue. A young man stopped and asked if I was OK. I sort of nod/shook at him. He stood beside me without saying a word until I was calmed. Then he walked away.

    I’m suddenly okay with being too old. It’s fine. I don’t have the time to waste on this nonsense.
