There weren’t enough GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR DOUCHE jokes when the billionaires pretended to be astronauts because no human needs or deserves that much money in 50 lifetimes. Let’s do better next opportunity, social media.

The horrors of the continuing COVID pandemic did not suddenly make this human life crushingly fleeting, unbelievably fragile, certainly holy and wholly uncertain. Life was always that way and will always be as such. This crisis just broke our illusions of surety and permanence.

We are dangerously close to the total lack of vision in Hollywood where someone is going to suggest rebooting Fawlty Towers but calling it INN DECISION or INN CONVENIENCE and that person not being immediately escorted out of the building.

Let’s start calling jackholes like Bezos and Musk “robber barons” again. That’s what they are. They steal from their work-forces and give to their billionaire mid-life crisis fantasias. #robberbaron Let’s do this, internet.

Up here in the Adirondack foothills, we do have some of the most beautiful late-spring and early-fall in the world. Problem is the matters of “SIX MONTHS OF TUNDRA” and “TEN WEEKS AS A RAINFOREST”. You wanna know why the sense of humour is really dark around here? That’s why.
