Vermin Supreme has been around awhile.

"Paperboy Love Prince," sounds like a one hit wonder from the eighties.

It definitely was not the flu. I had also gotten a flu shot that year when I had Covid. This is impossible to explain to people who've not had Covid but whatever.

I thought I was coming down with some form of depression because as you said, there was no congestion.

I once took a nonfiction writing class at a liberal college. Eventually, as the term went on, people felt free to write more personal things. About half the class eventually admitted to having been abused in some way sexual, physical, etc., mostly by a family member. It was a real eye opener.

Prayers for you. At the shelter I used to volunteer at, there was a cat who had tail damage from having it caught in an engine. She had difficulty with defecation (the poop would fall out) but was otherwise in good shape. Eventually, she found a forever home with a loving girl and her mom.

I don't mean to sound patronizing but some of these sound exactly like Gen X when I was younger. The "I hate myself and want to die," and being open about mental health issues. When I was in college, I became depressed and two people gave me the names of their therapists. Also the constantly feeling stressed out.

We were also derided for having super short attention spans. It was blamed on MTV and video games at the time.

It's still at a theater in Boston that has first runs. I was surprised to see it still there on the online list.

When I heard Trump skipped a debate in the 2016 election, I thought, "Gosh, I hope that doesn't hurt him in the polls."

I was a lot more naive then.

This reminds me of a comment in "Dave Barry's Guide to History," in which he writes that William Taft (the heaviest president in US history) ran on a "platform of reinforced concrete."

But according to some medical "experts" kids can determine their sex while in the womb. Shouldn't trans activists be protesting abortion if this is the case?

Where I live, it's in both first and second run theaters. Glad it's still around.

Meanwhile kids in other countries are doing physics and calculus that Americans won't take until high school.

I live in New England. For the past couple of weeks, I've been seeing "Heat advisory" on the online weather for this area. Today, it's about eighty. Hot, but not anything out of the ordinary. Yes, we have a "heat advisory" for this area.

I saw something random that the alphabet people are convinced that Barbie is really a lesbian because of some look she gives a woman in the trailer. I'm not making this up.

Oscar winning movies like "A Beautiful Mind," do things like downplay the non-political correctness of their main characters to make them more sympathetic. For instance, the real life John Nash was an anti-Semite which was omitted. He probably didn't also have a cute imaginary little girl as a friend.

But that's acceptable.

I saw a cashier in CVS today who is probably in her early twenties. She is still wearing one of those blue disposable face masks every time I go in. I'm pretty sure the store has dropped the requirement, so it's kind of sad.
