My kid sister done posted a pic of herself and me on my 21st birthday party, back in the summer of ’69 ’75:
Kim, the rock star… [snort]
Two years later, I was in the Army:
Sheesh…

News Roundup
…is brought to you today by:
So here we go:
…city government is Democrat, so of course nobody will lose their job over this.
…good thing I don’t live there, or I’d be properly fucked by now, e.g:
…sheesh, it’ll cost more than that just to clean ol’ Bill Clinton’s jizz stains off the walls and floors. And:
…ignoring the irony /stupidity, am I the only one hoping for an addition to the “Death By Covid” column?
Moving on:
…funny how that works.
From the You Can’t Say That! files:
…not that we should care, it being only Twatter.
And from the Dept. of Scaremongering, Climate Warming Cooling Change Division:
…not gonna happen, assholes.
In Woke We Trust:
…instead of “William Peace”, change it to “I Would Never Send My Kids To This” University. Too long, you think?
…Insty morphed into me so slowly, I barely noticed.

CANDACE OWENS KICKS NYT ASS
…that is really funny.
…hence the old saying: don’t complain about what you find when you go snooping where you shouldn’t.
And that leads us all to (link-free) INSIGNIFICA:
Finally:
…now that’s an anniversary worth celebrating… not.
Some interesting sights in that link, to be sure.
Nice Touch
I see that the BritGov has taken in a few dozen orphaned refugees from Ukraine, which is of course the right thing to do.
Unfortunately, they’re settling them in Scotland (probably to make them feel at home — cold weather, dangerous streets etc.).
That’s just great. Putting a bunch of kids who can’t speak English among people who can’t speak English either.
Unforeseen Hardship
I have sometimes, I think, referred to my “adopted” daughter — the quotes because she isn’t legally adopted, but I treat her as my second daughter for all sorts of reasons: difficult parents, occasional bad health and so on.
It all started when she went on our last great overseas adventure, the “Great Catholic Trip” wherein we visited several of Europe’s great cathedrals, basically as an excuse to go to Vienna (Stephansdom), Rome (Vatican) and Paris (Notre Dame v.1). Here are a couple of pictures of the family in those cities — Lily is the short redhead:
Heidelberg (our start-off city)
Paris
Rome
Paris
Since then (over a dozen years ago), Lily has been as close as a daughter can be without actually being one. She found the guy of her dreams (a mechanical engineer, gawd help us), and they set about building their lives together: working hard, building careers, saving money, buying a little house and so on.
Let me say that in the past three months, all that has come crashing down, leaving her and David in a deep pit.
Read all about it here, and please help her if you can. Her needs are modest, but critical.
I would regard it as a personal favor from my Loyal Readers.

Same Ol’, Same Ol’
I see that the Russians are reverting to type:
RUSSIAN soldiers are reportedly using rape as an “instrument of war” in Ukraine, a prosecutor has warned.
Putin’s savages are also believed to be executing civilians in cold blood amid the evil invasion which entered its 28th day today.
Shades of Berlin 1945, for us students of history.
