I do find the lip thing puh-ritty disturbing. not sure why, except that they look a lot like those wax lips they used to sell for a penny each in the candy store.
Did you ever notice the gradual enlargement of Trump jr's ex girlfriend's lips? I bet Gavin Newsom is really really glad he divorced her (she divorced him?) years ago. Shes scary! And now an ambassador(?) to Greece?
Actually like Paul's idea of infectious lip microbe! Why in the world do they think that's at all attractive? Makes them look like caracatures.
Some really interesting observations, Tom. I, too am sorry that all those tourist ships are visiting the Galapagos. Delicate ecosystems like those cannot long survive the hoards of ignorant tourists who ting nothing of marring irreplaceable land marks to let others know they were there or pilfering samples of anything that attracts their dimwitted brains.
Where I live, there's a battle between the tourism industry and environmentalists. Cruise ships pollute waterways. Some cities are starting to limit the size of the ships to reduce waste. It's bad here on Puget Sound.
All these women look like Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lauren Sanchez. Plastic boobs, inflated lips and heavy eye makeup. Whore candy for the homely rich. If Trump wanted to talk with Musk, all he had to do was call him. Posting on social was his attempt to humiliate Musk. I hope they keep fighting. What Musk doesn't get is the Maga base hates ALL immigration.
My daughter joined a legalistic Baptist church a few years ago. The pastor had to give prior approval to her wedding dress, which had to had short sleeves and a neckline no lower than 3 fingerwidths below her collarbone. These are very, very conservative MAGA folks. I can't imagine how they square the likes of those women.
Interesting question. But I don't understand either why so many white evangelicals seem devoted to Trump. I'm not up on End Times theology, but I do wonder sometimes if Trump is the "rough beast . . . slouch[ing] towards Bethlehem to be born." (Thank you, W. B. Yeats.)
Regarding the Kroger/Albertson merger flop, Kroger actually acknowledged some price kiting, which probably was baked into the merger plan. But it's with smug satisfaction that I watch as Albertson takes Kroger to court, almost as much fun as watching the non-wealthy magas make Sicilian mob gestures at the billionsboys.
Trump must be luxuriating in the endless groveling of the mighty money guys at MAL. But he will be exhausted by 1/20, and all those things to do on day one will be forgotten as the ole boy lays his head rather than his lying hand on the Bible and dozes off during the swearing in. Then a few months later Vance will be sworn in as 48, and there will be terror in his eyes as he realizes he's been hired as a lifeguard who can't swim.
As for Cruise's film title, how about "Lout of Africa?" Or "There Will Be Bloodsuckers?"
As to the Cruise film - I wonder if he will be leaping any tall buildings in a single bound in this one - have no fondness for him. Well nor for musky.
Here’s the raw, unvarnished truth: Vegas cops don’t mess around. They’d have tossed them so far under the jailhouse you’d need a backhoe to dig them out. And while we’re on the subject of justice in Sin City, one of the bigwig casino magnates just got hauled in for money laundering. No bail, no mercy—he’s cooling his heels in a cell. Maybe he should dial up one of Trump’s legal eagles. Those folks know how to turn a scandal into a circus, and Vegas loves a good show.
For clarity, I am confused ! As to where I read Snyder's quote from bluesky...so I'll share it here now.
The most that can be said about the present moment is that there is disagreement within the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party about which faces to eat in what order...
I didn’t know they had Drag Queen Party Hour down at the golf academy in Florida.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They caught the bus up from Key West.
What's with the lips?
Is there some sort of infectious lip microbe down there causing the swelling?
Their lips aren't the most disturbing thing about them.
I do find the lip thing puh-ritty disturbing. not sure why, except that they look a lot like those wax lips they used to sell for a penny each in the candy store.
Exactly!
Oh yeah, the wax lips! I knew I recognized something. I loved the "corner store" with all that penny candy.
Some say that the fad of kissing honey bees is blame.
The one on the left actually scares me. The rest are simply amusing.
I bet she's pissed that she wore the wrong dress.

Because the rich incels who like them think that's sexy, having never been with a real woman before in their lives.
Juveniles who never matured
Swollen lips, high cheekbones, enhanced chests, heavy eye makeup - the Instagram Look™.

I had no idea that cruise ships were allowed there. Even if the people stay on board, the pollution from the ships is awful.
I think cruise ship visits are all pretty strictly controlled - but I haven't seen the fine print on this.

They are fined, but of course it’s after the fact and these cruise lines have massive wealth.

Certainly an accurate description of Bezos, Elmo, et al. The guys who never got a date to the senior prom.
Exactly!
These women not only look like sex toys but they also all look alike except for the color of their hair.
Golly, those women look really scary. Terrifying, really.
Just think, that is a picture of actual people. Imagine seeing them in real life.
Their makeup, injections, surgeries and plunging necklines are a sad attempt to make them look young and sexy. Instead they look rediculous.

Really enjoying the new
Poking Around chapters,
Tom.
The best part was the HMS
Beagle.
Who woke up Kevin O'Leary. What a bore. Angling for an invite to MAL is so like him. Maybe his QVC gig is fading.
The lovely women of Floriduh. Could have lived happily without the need to see that trash. Those people just aren't right.
As to the "real housewives of mar a lago"... if they really want to look like that, it's their bodies. They remind me of Jessica Rabbit.
That's an insult to Jessica Rabbit. :-)
Sorry. I know she was just "drawn that way". These women choose to look the way they do
P.S. I'm really enjoying the "poking around" posts. Please continue 😍

Yeah, I haven't been able to stand him since the first Top Gun, which I walked out of.
I loved him in Risky Business.
I think “Bill Gates asked to come tonight” is code for something else. It’s just stuck in the middle of nowhere.
looks like Steve Mackey doesn't know a straitjacket from a straight jacket. why am I not surprised?
I’m sickened by all of this shit.
Hey, they give the worst of what Vegas has to offer a good name! :-)

Psst, TC: It's divestiture, not divestment.
Right.
Evolving to adapt is a daunting challenge for us in this bizarre new world environment.
I loved the beautifully illustrated "The Voyage Of The Beagle' .
And just wow on Snyder's comment. Thanks TC.

I think you might have seen at at Adam Parkhomento's site yesterday. That's where I saw it.
