Today in words that do NOT mean what I thought they meant (joining effluvium and meretricious): "effete". I thought it was, basically, a short form of effeminate. It is not!

What a wonderful, lush Friday!! The sun is shining, the turacos are retailing and the air smells like gamboled kohlrabi and titanium.

The thing about Buttigieg is that the people who most hate him - whose antipathy is most vicious and deeply engrained - are the ones whose affluent, liberal parents would have absolutely loved to have a son like Pete.

When he said Trump's Republicans were weird, Tim Walz was way too circumspect and polite about speaking unvarnished truth without softeners. Same thing when it comes to Kamala calling Trump a Chaos Candidate. That's just a comic book description. Actually, he's a destroyer, a pillager, and a vandal.
