I don’t know who this guy is. When I first read ‘The Stranger’ it was this edition. The white make-up, the crazy hats, I want to know who the artist was who had this vision, what was the context, what was the history. If anyone has a copy and can find a caption about what it is, or if anyone knows the artist I’d love to know. It made that haunting story all the more haunting, for me.

Ted Cruz Really Is the Worst

Ted Cruz on ‘New York Values’ is gross, ignorant, cultural triangulation. He’s class signaling and its unseemly in a would-be leader of this land. That leader should never denigrate one of his would-be constituents over another. NYC is the ultimate American city. There are more people here than LA and Chicago combined. The NYPD is larger than many standing armies. NYC has faced and conquered scale larger than many planners will ever imagine. Washington was inaugurated here. The Federalist was born here. Americans were made here. My great grandfather registered to fight his father’s countrymen. My grandfather fought against those same former brethren because he had become an American in heart and mind.

Mobile Upload: “Poodles are so smart!” 🤣🐩❤️

“Poodles are so smart!” begins many of my poodlesplaining sessions. Today, while roaming in Central Park, my canine genius trotted to this hole, ball in mouth, and dropped it in. If you look closely maybe you see a glow ball in this varmint hole? I saw him do it too. Look at hole Open mouth Watch ball fall in Look at Steven in panic Scurry at hole Whine I used my opposable thumbs and a stick and used the chuck-it balls hole as a point of catch and pulled it back out. 🤣🐩❤️

Mobile Upload: Cafeteria > Sports > COVID

Maybe the reason COVID is surging in Harris county is because the paper of record’s lead story is about a cafeteria and the video inset is about someone who gets paid a lot of money to run around. The story about “hey, were shitting the bed with regard to pandemic discipline” is THIRD.
