UNBURDENED BY THE LACK OF INTEREST:

SHE’S NEVER HAD AN ORIGINAL IDEA IN HER LIFE, SO WHY CHANGE NOW?

And to be fair, it’s worked pretty well for her.

OPEN THREAD: Be here now.

WELL SAID:

HAHA:

MAYBE IT’S A BIG LIE, AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN:

WOEING: Boeing Starliner astronauts might not return to Earth until next year, NASA says. “Boeing Starliner astronauts, stranded at the International Space Station after a weeklong test flight turned into a two-month stay due to thruster problems, may be forced to fly home on SpaceX in 2025, NASA has admitted. NASA updated reporters Wednesday at a news conference, which Boeing did not attend, on the timeline for crew members Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. The astronauts have been in space for 63 days with no return date in sight.”

JAMES LILEKS, AN ACTUAL MIDWESTERN DAD, LOOKS AT TIM WALZ: America’s Midwestern Dad?

The stories in the news talk about Walz’s “big dad energy!” Yay patriarchy, apparently. His legions of new fans describe his grounded Midwestern appeal, sensible and practical like the rest of the denizens of the great flat lands. The stories about his days as a high school teacher paint a picture of a man whose students liked him, a lot, and how he was a great teacher. No reason to doubt that.

And it doesn’t mean anything, anyway. I loved my teachers, too, but then years later you see their name attached to a letter in the paper yelling at Ronnie Raygun for being mean to the Sandinistas. Ohhhhkay well, I’ll just remember the good times, when he was failing me at chemistry.

It’s there to distract you from the fact that he’s basically a commie.
