Yes, a rather ubiquitous use of the existentially qualified noun, madam. i do rather agree.

so CNN recently rotated Phil Mattingly onto the set and made him an anchor. Phil was one of CNN's chief white house correspondents, and he's in direct competition with Jeremy Diamond for smartest and sexiest male reporter of the year. U really can't fuck with Diamond's beard. anyway Phil was originally having a hard time when they made him anchor becuz he didn't know what to do or how to look when he wasn't talking... u know just sitting there beside the co-achor as they talk. he knows he's the hottest anchor and the pressure put on him by CNN to maintain that persona is so tremendous that all he can do is constantly shift from one sexy face/pose to another like each pose was for his feature in Forbes and they wanted him on the magazine cover. u could totally tell he was nervous and over-aware of all the cameras rolling around in front of him. normally there's one camera in a hallway or on the street and it's all him tryna pack as much info about some recent development as he can into two minutes. this studio anchor stuff is new territory for Phil.

how cool would it be if a guest on Fox news who was semi-schooled in marxism said during one of those panel discussions that in no way does China even remotely resemble a genuine marxist state and to call them 'communist' is as screwy as calling north korea a democratic republic. that the  working citizens of china have little to no political participation and voting power should be the first clue. socialized healthcare and education and basic incomes and housing and all that is not fundamentally marxist. u can have a state that has socialist elements that isn't a marxist state. etc., etc.

imagine one of those dumb looking plastic blonde anchors on Fox and those two of those other guys that look like 80's romance comedy movie actors who do all the commentary, hearing somebody explain that for once to them. to point out that nearly every time any of them have ever heard the phrase 'marxist something something' in their circles, what ever was being referenced, described or explained wasn't anything marxist or hardly marxist. and that today this misrepresentation and ongoing misuse of the term 'marxist' has created a false idea of what it is, and it's automatically associated with anything that isn't the Right.

bro in many respects u could call marxism a conservative philosophy. even spin a comparison between Marx's concept of social freedom and limited government as a coercive force with the Right's disdain of government involvement with the personal lives of citizens (in many instances, others not so much). but u could spin it. it wouldn't be that difficult.

I don't know about zen master DAM but I'm a healthy narcissist. Most who allege I'm a narcissist aren't aware that I'm incredibly modest and humble in all the ways that count. I claim no immortal soul, blame nobody for anything, and i have extraordinary sympathy for anything that physically suffers (imma hyper-empath kinda. Like if u so much as cut your finger on a piece of paper, I'd faint, and when I came to I'd start crying as if being wakened from a nightmare. You'd have to bring me a cup of water and I'd be all pale and out of breath). I can't handle animals suffering bro that's me @ 1:07

Alright u guys I'm fixin to build my first portico so I'm gonna follow Ho Chi Minh's lead and do what this guy did minus the deck.

I've built dormer roofs and awnings obviously becuz who hasn't but never one of these things. See how he made those curved ceiling templates outta plywood and then assembled and installed the whole gable barge rafter plywood template piece at once @ 0:55? See I was gonna set the rafters and ridge first, then frame out the barge rafter and then install the plywood templates. But Ho Chi Minh was like naw bro. U build portico like this.

It's gotta go here:

New planet discovered with an ocean not far from Earth

"The scientific community has discovered a new planet. It is located 245 light-years away from Earth and has been named TOI-733b."

earth.com

Not far from Earth? A light years is about 6,000,000,000,000 miles. So, it's a planet only 1,470,000,000,000,000 miles away from us!

That's the equivalent of going 59,033,773,744 times around the Earth at the equator.

True story.

I think I'm gonna take the whole summer off becuz this heat is just ridiculous. somebody tell the capitalists that if they continue to bake the erf like they are and make it impossible for me to work, I'm gonna take their money instead.

Move north. Alaska perhaps.

In the early 90s I was working with my dad building decking alongside the furnace in a cast alloy factory. Every fifteen minutes we'd step outside to cool off (outside it was 42C = 108F)
