Got Super Nostalgic Commuting on MUNI Yesterday, If You're Wondering How In The Feels I Am Right About Now
Got Super Nostalgic Commuting on MUNI Yesterday, If You're Wondering How In The Feels I Am Right About Now
Darlings! I’m trying to come up with a clever way to say GOOD MORNING, HOW ARE YOU, YOU’RE SWELL, but it’s just not coming to me at this early hour. So instead, here’s a picture of Orca and her walk group gang (fur kids are so susceptible to dangerous group dynamics, you know?)
TO THE INTERNET!
Got to see dear Friend of the Missive and all-around fabulous human being Alex yesterday at TechCrunch Disrupt in SF and it was freaking wonderful. Not only was I in the audience for the live Equity Podcast taping, amongst other conference adventures I got to check out an excellent panel on raising capital in challenging times, hosted by fellow FotM Annie Saunders. ’Twas a nerdy day for all!
Speaking of TechCrunch, this article on disintegrating artist formerly-known-as-Kanye buying a conservative hellsite is the only one you should read, because it’s funny in that “we’re living in a horrible dystopic reality we cannot un-entwine ourselves from” way and I live for this headline: Kanye joins the ranks of arrogant billionaires buying their own echo chambers. And the tweet below from one of the co-authors is chef’s kiss perfection:
Here’s a first graf for the ages: “The country's largest online source of JFK assassination records is suing President Joe Biden and the National Archives to force the federal government to release all remaining documents related to the most mysterious murder of a U.S. president nearly 60 years ago.” (NBC News)
I mean, every workplace should have a rule against batshit people with batshit ideas, imho: The House-rules chair blocked Lauren Boebert's measure under a 'new rule' against 'lunatics,' a new book says. (Insider) Although, I guess my ideal rule would be batshit people not being elected to the House of Representatives, but we can’t have nice things sooooooo…….
If you’re a reader of this Missive, you’ve probably already listened to “In God We Lust”, the gossipy and dramatic retelling of the downfall of evangelical leader and hypocrite for the ages Jerry Falwell Jr. after it was revealed that he and his wife were (allegedly) involved in a longterm extramarital relationship with a (checks notes) pool boy. Well, the pool boy has a new book coming out and hooooooo boy, these excerpts are salacious. (Rolling Stone)
The former president posted this after we reported this story: wapo.st/3exJGH0. On Truth Social, Trump has 4 million followers. On TikTok, a St. Louis karate instructor who posts videos about chipmunks has more than 14 million: wapo.st/3erW1wF
Sometimes, we just have to toss a Tim Miller Bulwark headline into the mix. You know, as a treat: Furrygate: A Litterbox of Lies
And finally, Mum of the Missive would like to remind you that the grazing goats are back out in Calgary’s Nose Hill Park, where they are clearing underbrush and being generally awesome creatures. Add “training goats to protect parks” to my list of dream jobs, thank you very much.
Have a wonderful day! Drink some water, stretch your calves, be kind to yourself, won’t you?
xoxo
