Writer. Journalist. Raconteur. I live in Cape May, New Jersey, USA, where I write about politics, culture, science, history, religion and travel. I hate bullies no matter what side they’re on. I'm kind, until you push me. Three kids. Seven grands. Grand Poobah of AI Haters. Phillies. Eagles. Liverpool. Pizzaiolo Extraordinaire. Publisher of four @medium pubs: Ellemeno, Rome, Hopping Frog Studios, and A Bit Dodgy. Signal: dtm.13

Media: Quick. Someone take a few different pictures of Jack Smith so we have something else to look at except that one stupid picture you have of him. Think ahead.

I rarely eat bacon because my wife doesn’t like it. She doesn’t eat it, and doesn’t like the smell or mess.

But I’ve got parchment paper and a pound of thick cut bacon that I’m going to cook in the oven.

I just might put that shit on everything. Maybe I start making a pound a week.

When I was in the first grade and still living in Edmond, Oklahoma, I would ride my bike to the five-and-dime to buy ammo. Six years old. Alone. Riding my bike to the store to buy Daisy BBs for my slingshot. They kept the ammo in a glass case that had to be unlocked by an employee — for security purposes. https://medium.com/ellemeno/breaker-breaker-one-nine-46349d32a42e

I guess boys just join the rodeo.

As far as I can tell, and assuming the trial actually starts when it’s supposed to, May of 2024 couldn’t be better for Democrats. By the time the trial starts, the primary will be essentially over and the presumptive GOP nominee will be on trial for numerous felony charges that could result in life in prison. It will be too late to do anything else about it. Even if Trump goes to jail they’ll still vote for him.

I don’t see how you can spin that in any other way.

“Who would I be if I grew up knowing who I looked like or why I love writing or have fat toes and a genetic predisposition to psoriasis and anxiety? Who would I be if my life was defined by answers rather than questions? I don’t know — can’t know…”

Why don’t boys ride horses? Our entire 4-H fair was, at least as far as the horses went, all girls and women. Last year there was one boy.

There is very little dignity living in American. We don’t take care of our children or our elderly. Only the wealthy are well taken care of. The rest of us die bleeding in a gutter.

Tony Bennet is gone. 96 years old. Not too shabby.

My granddaughter Grayson and her trusty steed Tonto. 4-H Fair. New Jersey. USA. Gray just turned 10.

nostr:npub17ccqcmngac03zdj9f06alkp0ckr83fmdhq0c5nalxa6fnr682xtq23nwac For one thing, it was seven fucking years ago. Two, Trump was a complete unknown and a novelty. Three, he barely won through the technicality of the electoral college.

What happened four years later? Lost by 8 million votes.

In what world is RFK, Jr a Democrat? Who is his constituency? Anti-vax conspiracy theorists?
