I gotta hit Megamillions or Powerball
to make this year a memorable one...
Even the once-venerable New York Times today is
leading with this front-page item:

I'm sure it's a nice place to be (or live) on a nice spring or summer day, but it must suck and smell really bad most of the rest of the time.
Venice has been hit by high tides of up to 1.5 metres (5ft) after its flood barrier system was not activated as a result of mistaken forecasts. Weather bulletins had predicted high tide, or acqua alta, rising to 1.2 metres – lower than the 1.3 metres level at which the 78 mobile barriers of the defensive system, called Mose, would usually be activated.
By the time the water had entered the lagoon on Tuesday morning, completely flooding the narthex of St Mark’s Basilica, it was too late for the system to take effect.
... Before the pandemic, younger people in America were already making substantially less money than older generations, even compared with when those older people were young.
In 1989, baby boomers controlled 21% of the nation’s wealth; millennials controlled just 5% of the nation’s wealth in 2019.

This is a very popular item these days, and seeing as how these days are pretty fuckin' bizarre it makes sense, doesn't it? Readers here have told me that not only are they buying them for themselves, they're buying them for their kids, their girlfriends and their wives. I think that's a great idea. Better safe than sorry is the best way to be these days...
There are a couple different strengths available here - find the one that's right for you:

On becoming a service industry society:
DoorDash, the country’s largest food delivery company, said on Tuesday it would price its shares at $102 each, raising roughly $3.4 billion in its initial public offering and valuing the company at around $39 billion. DoorDash had already raised its price range amid demand from potential shareholders as it prepares to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday under the symbol “DASH.” The company was last valued at $16 billion by private market investors.
DoorDash’s I.P.O. is part of a parade of valuable start-ups rushing to go public before the end of the year. The ebullient stock market, driven in part by low interest rates and strong growth for tech companies, has made 2020 the busiest year for I.P.O.s since 1999. The home rental start-up Airbnb is expected to price its shares on Wednesday and begin trading on Thursday. It also raised its proposed price range after indications of strong demand from investors.

A message to the Donald may be 'When everybody's telling you to shut the fuck up and go away, maybe it's time to do just that.'
Finish your term and you can spend the rest of your days in comfort tormenting the fuck outta these people.
Shots properly aimed and fired from a distance can be just as damaging as point-blank.

The President-elect (I love that term - sounds so official) - who will soon be known as the 'Stutterer-in-Chief' - formally announced Tuesday afternoon his choice for several top healthcare roles. He unveiled California attorney general and former congressman Xavier Becerra as his pick to lead the health department. But Biden botched the announcement at his event in Wilmington, Delaware.
'For Secretary of Health and Education Services, I nominate Xavier Bacheria,' Biden said, mispronouncing his surname and getting the HHS title incorrect. Republicans were quick to jump to mock the slip-up on social media. Biden, who suffers from a stutter, made several gaffes during the campaign trail.

This morning, when I said to my wife 'It's okay to have pudding for breakfast, right?' she looked at me like that was some kinda stupid friggin' question or something.
These are some truly hateful motherfuckers,aren't they? And yeah - I'm sure she got her job because of her 'abilities' just like Kamala got hers in California....

California congressman Eric Swalwell has refused to say whether he had a sexual relationship with a Chinese honeytrap spy, as Donald Trump Jr described him as a 'threat to national security'.
Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night said his team had asked Swalwell's office whether the reports of a sexual relationship were true, but his office declined to comment, citing national security. Carlson's claim echoed that of Donald Trump Jr on Monday, who repeated his accusations on Tuesday night. Trump Jr also told Carlson's show that Swalwell was a threat to national security. 'I find it very ironic that he was perhaps sleeping with a Chinese spy, certainly one that had infiltrated his inner circle,' Trump Jr said.
Swalwell, 40, is the most high-profile figure to be swept up in the bombshell story of Fang, who between 2011 and 2015 targeted rising political who seemed destined for nationally important roles. The congressman said he first became aware that Axios was looking into Fang's activities in July 2019, around the time he was ending his brief bid for the Democratic presidential nomination - during which he was a strong critic of the president - and has questioned the timing of the revelations.

I'll leave with this to ponder:

Russian officials are warning citizens to avoid alcohol for two months after receiving the country’s COVID-19 vaccine — tough-to-swallow news for one of the world’s heaviest drinking countries.
The warning came from Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova, who said in an interview that Russians will have to observe extra precautions during the 42 days it takes for the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine to become effective.

An Illinois artist was left baffled after a man paid him to paint a mural of “Sesame Street’s” Cookie Monster on the side of a building — that he didn’t actually own. Joshua Hawkins said he recently got an angry phone call from the actual owner of the Peoria building, “asking why the hell I painted this ‘crazy sh-t’ on his building.”
“Evidently the guy that hired me to paint the mural was NOT really the owner of the building!,” Hawkins wrote on Facebook.
