It has less to do with nations, political parties, et al and everything to do with the species. Humans come in two models—honey badgers and lemmings—with one thing in common... you can't live with 'em and can't deep fry 'em for the big tailgate party.

I couldn’t have said it better myself, no really I couldn’t! But it’s a headful of truth!

Welp. We all need a glass-half-full-glass-half-empty-there-is-no-glass honest rant in the morning I reckon. I watched many a commentary following the Tales From The Crypt, I mean Oval Office episode & yours was the only thought-provoking one.

I especially enjoyed how you tied in the subscription upgrade request, so I complied. I clicked the "Manage Subscription" button & guess what it said:

"You cannot manage your subscription in the app."

👀

And directly below that: an "Okay" button to click.

🤔

Despite my puzzlement, I stayed the course & did manage to upgrade my subscription online, because I'm a sucker for well worded rants, musings, essays, & theses of those who attended my high school, which puts you in a category of one. (I was so wishing the plural of thesis was thesi, or thesises, because both would be humorous to say but alas, sadly no.)

I'm off to spend the rest of my day pondering "Things To Click That Lead Nowhere & Force One To Click 'Okay,'" which sounds like a good chapter title in my non-existent autobiography.

Oh balderdash. Sigh. It appears I will not be pondering that at all, because my lizard brain is now stuck on "There is no spoon," which means I will likely be having Keanu-adjacent thoughts including echoes of Bill & Ted for the rest of the day. Damn it all to Hell. Sigh.
