Virginia is weird

I went to look at the world’s largest kaleidoscope inside a cement mixer.

The dream was that I came home and someone delivered furniture in enormous boxes while I was away. They broke some windows and some walls, punched a round hole through the door where the keyhole was, and rearranged furniture to make their boxes fit. I was glad to wake up.

A tiny pep talk from @adamjk

I don’t get it why English is considered to be a more compact language than Russian. While in English you would put it like “I’m not entirely sure that’s the right interpretation of events”, in Russian it’s just “хуйня”

I am not entirely sure that’s the only way English language allows to express this sentiment – the word “bull( and horse )shit” works just as nicely. Not to be confused with chickensh.t.

Never thought I’d think it, but so hopeful thanks to Alabamans who voted today. Particularly those Republicans who chose consciousness over tribalism that’s becoming so prevalent, and didn’t vote for Roy Moore.

It couldn’t have been easy (it’s not an accurate comparison, but I’ve been imagining myself in a situation where I had to choose between, say, Anthony Weiner and Pence ).

“Parisian actress, Polaire , with a ring worn through her septum. The actress is so certain of the attractiveness of this fashion that she vigorously attempts to convince other women to follow it as well”

This place actually has a park called Mt Trashmore (and yes, it’s built on a literal pile of trash – a former landfill), and a Yellow Fever Park, which is small and a little sad – I stumbled into it on my walk last night.

Oh isn’t this lovely – the newest subway “lone wolf” terrorist used to live right next door to us.

President Donald Trump is sending astronauts back to the Moon.

Can the astronauts send president Donald Trump back to the Moon instead?

He could ~~build~~ license his name to a hotel there, on the far side of it, preferably, of locally sourced basalt and gold, and have his office there, and we would call him the King of the Moon and promise to supply him with freeze-dried KFC for the rest of his days, and think of him every time the Moon rises and sets, and during lunar eclipses when it takes on that special hue.
