I only mention it but our lovely ancestors, the Stegosaurus, died off 150 million years ago. They went extinct 84 million years before Tyrannosaurus even began hangin' 'round down the local pub.

Our buddies, the Tyrannosaurus rex, as a species, took the last train for the coast a measly 66 million years ago. 

What am I saying here? You and me? We’re closer in time to the T-Rex than the T-Rex were to the Stegosaurus. Huh.

There ya go, something you may not have known unless you have dino obsessed kindergarteners.

Six of the nine Allston Car Wash workers who were kidnapped by ICE thugs earlier this month, have been granted bail. A Chelmsford, MA immigration judge ordered three more workers to be freed at a hearing on Thursday. 

At least one of the arrested workers is a U.S. citizen and all had proper work permits too. ICE isn’t what anyone would consider diligently accurate, exact or in any way competent in their work habits. Fuckers. They’re all low watt, violence prone, racist, failures who’d only benefit this world by leaving it.

What’s up up with the the profoundly asinine, head-up-his-ass, loser who thought he would be hailed as a real MAGA hero for repeatedly calling the ICE tip line on brown car wash workers? Anchor baby Zac Segal (supposedly born in Florida to British parents and raised in England) is still enrolled at Boston University and still president of their little College Republicans club. He’s not terribly popular though – not even with his fellow Republicans.

The women of the Boston University College Republicans have since condemned Segal’s actions and called for his removal from office.

“We will no longer affiliate with BUCR until an apology is issued and new leadership is provided,” they wrote in a statement obtained by student newspaper The Daily Free Press. (source) 

I don’t think little Zac’s gonna be getting lucky anytime soon – at least not in Boston. Maybe he’d have better luck in Florida, Utah, or Texas. The universities aren’t as good but the politics would be more in line with his microscopic, bigoted brain.

Did you know – Michael Douglas is still around. He’s still hot too. Yes, I know, I know…he’s 81 years old now. He’s old but I’m not so much younger  (ok, 14 years. For perspective, The Amazing Bob was 17 years older than me and he was a flat out stunning motherfucker to the very end). 

ANYWAY, Jen, Oni and I have just started watching the show The Kominsky Method.

Acting coach Sandy Kominsky and best friend Norman Newlander keep each other laughing as they navigate the ups and downs of getting older. (source) 

Douglas plays Kominsky, the acting coach and Alan Arkin plays his agent, Norman Newlander. I absolutely LOVE their relationship. It reminds me so much of me and Jen.

When Norman tells Sandy he didn’t get a sitcom part he went for, “but they say they’ll keep you in mind for a recurring role or a cameo”, Sandy tells him not to sugarcoat things. “I’m not sugarcoating,” Norman says. “I’m lying.” (source) 

Yes, this is how we communicate. Also with sign language – i.e., we flip each other the bird on the regular.

Hey, if you can’t tell your bestie to fuck off (with a smile, dammit), what is life REALLY all about? I’m asking you!
