Life in the Slow Lane


 

Got into a little kerfuffle with a woman on Bluesky today. Not much of one as my Ferrer senses tingled and I figured on bailing early as she seemed pretty hostile in her assessment of the young ladies pictured above. I do the same with maga more often these days, because you're never going to straighten those people out. So, I kind of knew I shouldn't have bothered, but it bugged me that in her estimation these girls were 'too skinny' and it was a disturbing trend... brought to you by...Mr. Man. It would turn out that I was a Mr. Man too. I've certainly been called worse.

However today I achieved Mr. Manhood by offering that every body is different and these young girls, being young girls, looked like young girls to me. They look like teens to me, and teens come in all shapes and sizes. With the exception of the first girl pictured, I don't think anyone pictured was starving themselves to please Mr. Mankind. To me they looked healthy and happy. Normal. I guess I should not have said that. 

I wasn't wrong about her spoiling for a fight. Anytime someone responds to you with two posts, you know war has been declared. She had somehow bolstered her argument with the current clip of a post that Pete Hegseth liked about the crazy white Christian males whose wives cheerfully serve as second class citizens. What that has to do with teen girls being 'too skinny' was above my posting grade. I muted and bailed. Pick a lane lady!

There are crazy people on Bluesky too. Maga loves to change lanes like that. I was going by the photos and not judging the models on their diet or their religious views which were not apparent in the photo. That was my lane. The slow lane maybe, but I was doing the limit and I'm glad I got off at the first exit.

A Ferrerman Advisory Has Been Issued...

 The only people who read this blog are the fine folks at Blogger. They've seen fit to hang an advisory warning on two of my posts. As is the custom with media these days, no explanations are necessary. It's like being married and the wife is mad at you. "Well, if you don't know, I'm certainly not going to tell you!" So, I get that. Fair enough.

Molehills On the Battlefield

An odd exchange with a follower earlier. To another poster I added to his complaint about the recent trend of side-by-side reaction videos They are dumb and pretty much unnecessary. My addition was that I didn't like the ones where someone is telling a joke, and on the other side of the screen is a clip of someone laughing outrageously. Why? And perhaps worse, the split screen is used to tell a story, and the other side is some inexplicable B-roll of some unrelated product being made. Again- why? Are these first world problems? Yes. But I wasn't crying or praying to Trump that these 'creators' be deported to a Sudanese prison. I was just kinda bitching. Is that wrong? To one follower, it was! At first, I wondered if I was reading her wrong. Could someone read my post and take it so seriously? A quick perusal of my bio mentions something about me being a "gifted satirist and sarcasmist". Eh, who reads those things anyways. I also say that "DM's mean yo...

Flipping the Script

 When it comes to TV and movies, I don't like to know how the sausage is made. But full disclosure, I find it hard to resist the inside info when it comes to "The Sopranos". As luck would have it, there are a bazillion YouTubes about all things Soprano.  It's kinda crazy to me that people that people spend so much time gossiping about a fictional show. "Why did this happen? Why that? How 'bout this theory?"  Shit like that. My first thought is always, ask the writer. It's their story. It's not ours to add anything to it. It's not "The Bible", after all.  Story arcs are different though. I've been seeing a lot of a particular arc in The Sopranos that always befuddled me. This is the storyline of Vito Spatafore being outed as gay. They spent a lot of episodes on that, too many in my opinion. The actor who played Vito, evidently heavily  pitched it to the writers and they ran with it. It was at once an unexpected turn and then an u...
