Anecdotally, I’m seeing a fresh uptick in “mask hysteria“. E.g. Yesterday I saw a family of form walking in my deep blue neighborhood. One of the kids, maybe seven years old, how does mask down around his chin. His mother noticed in the middle a snap, “put your mask on!”  They were in open air on a breezy day.

Love that voice transcription.  It's more engaging than that "Wordle" nonsense that has hypnotized so many.

Sigh. And now that I'm back at my desk:

"Anecdotally, I’m seeing a fresh uptick in “mask hysteria“. E.g. Yesterday I saw a family of form four walking in my deep blue neighborhood.

Never heard of "Wordle"...

Oh, there might be some harsh words said, but otherwise little will happen. I would love to be wrong, but you know how unlikely it is that the two teams will hold each other accountable.

Check out the Democrats and Republicans in the "Betty Boop for President" clip in #3 above.

It's a stupid word-puzzle that the NYT is pushing.  There are several people I otherwise respect who are gaga over it.

When I was at a BigLaw firm, sure, we had a dedicated CIA office, and an NSA one, but no FBI...

It's yet another thing to fixate the masses on, rather than on what is going on around them.

The Roman emperors had "bread and circuses."  The modern-day American emperor has Brandon circuses.

That's great - I love the beer at the end to let us know what the real issues were. On of the caricatures was obviously Hoover, but who was the other one?  Al Smith perhaps?

Also, the limousine that brings the street cleaner to sweep up the shit which he still leaves on the street seems somehow prescient.

California State Court holds that a bumblebee is a fish:

If man can be a woman, why can't a bee be a fish?

For that matter, what does reality matter if I feel differently?

Why hasn't the Russian military done anything (AFAIK) yet to mark the beginning of Pride Month?!

Or maybe in the Russian Orthodox calendar, Pride Month doesn't begin for two more weeks, or something...

It's similar to other drawings of him I've seen - always gave him a bigger nose than he had. That being the case, the cartoon must have been made early in the '32 campaign.

Cartoon date is 1933 (MCMXXXIII, IIRC from the titles)
