a sliver
After dinner, we sat down to watch a recording of Trump’s press conference because there’s nothing we enjoy more than pain and suffering, and if we don’t get enough of that at work, we look for ways to inflict more of it on ourselves later. But after supper. Gotta eat supper first. My Darling B Read.

streep
After Meryl Streep used her acceptance speech at the Golden Globe awards to rip into Trump, she got a lot of blowback from his supporters who said that a) he was only criticizing a reporter who disagreed with him, not mocking the reporter, and b) Streep is an entertainer, not a political figure, so she Read.

dishonest assange
Julian Assange, who is most infamously known as the founder of an internet clearing house for “leaked” data, appears in an interview broadcast on mainstream media to warn us all that the U.S. media is very dishonest — more dishonest than anyone knows. Trump live-tweets the show, also using U.S. media. There isn’t enough gin Read.

push-ups
At what point do you believe push-ups have occurred? I ask because My Darling B says that we do push-ups when we yoga, but I don’t think we do. We plank, which it the top of a push-up, and we chadurunga, which is lowering from a plank to the floor. I would argue that that Read.

slings and arrows
Donald Trump, the billionaire real estate mogul from New York, is still running at the head of the pack of candidates seeking the Republican nomination for the presidency.

looks great but
It’s been ten years since Battlestar Galactica was rebooted by the SyFy Network. Everybody else’s take: Greatest Television Show Ever Broadcast. My take, staying in the five-word format: Looks great, stupid as hell. Looks great: Really great, if you get off on space ships, and who doesn’t? Stupid people, that’s who. And also, killer robots!

middle
Yesterday, for what I’m pretty sure was the first time ever at the office where I work now, someone stepped up to the middle urinal while I was at the right urinal and someone else was at the left urinal. I’m almost one-hundred percent positive that’s never happened there before. At least, not that I’ve Read.

a thousand cuts
I broke a glass while washing dishes and cut my finger. Not a deep cut, but it wouldn’t stop bleeding. Couldn’t finish washing dishes until it stopped. I tried cold water, then direct pressure. I tried tightly bandaging it. It kept bleeding. I just wanted to finish washing the dishes! So I washed them with Read.

Pomplamoose
I had tickets to see Pomplamoose last week at the High Noon Saloon. Too bad I didn’t get to see them. Oh, I was there. I got there early. Tickets said the show started at eight, so I was there with my hot date at seven-thirty hoping to score a couple of seats close to Read.
