"The problem's all inside your head", she said to me
"The wing seat is also where the engine's gonna be
So when a panel pops and you're desperate to get free--
There's no 50 ways to leave the airplane.
There's just not--50 ways to leave the airplane.

You see, the nearer your destination, the more likely you're slip sliding away."

mastodon.scot/@thisismyglasgow… thisismyglasgow@mastodon.scot - Love this door handle on the former Barony Church on Rottenrow in central Glasgow. The building dates from the 1880s and was designed by Burnet Son and Campbell.

Turns out there’s no actual scandal concerning Melania’s Visa…
it’s simply a typo.

She’s not here on an Einstein Visa, but rather an Epstein Visa.







Speaking of #StephenColbert , that was the rabbithole I went down right after emerging from the #JimVarney #ErnestPWorrell rabbithole.

I posted months earlier that with all the repeats on #HBO of the #LordOfTheRings franchise movies, that I had caught up on all of them--well, TIL that Colbert was in #TheDesolationOfSmaug ...and that's not all. It appears his family were ALL Laketown Spies, not just him (his wife is credited as Evelyn McGee). Then I encountered a #HollywoodReporter article about what Colbert might do next, and they missed the HBO option completely.

No, not as a movie actor but as competition for #BillMaher who could do with Colbert-level competition. The article cited #ConanOBrien who was doing a travel log sort of thing for HBO, so yeah--I can picture Colbert on HBO. The Hollywood Reporter completely missed THAT boat.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
The Church hates a thinker precisely for the same reason a robber dislikes a sheriff, or a thief despises the prosecuting witness. Tyranny likes courtiers, flatterers, followers, fawners, and superstition wants believers, disciples, zealots, hypocrites, and subscribers.


Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1873-12) “Individuality,” Chicago Free Religious Society
