Brought to you by:

And speaking of which, here’s a Senator:


…hey Lindsey ol’ pal:  he’s dead, and you don’t have to kiss his ass anymore.


…oh, FOF.  (That stands for “Free Our Faces”, not “Fuck Off, Fauci”.  Promise.)


…which is their right.  As is our right to… you know the rest.


…and pic of the day goes to: 


…of course, no “gender favoritism” there, oh no.


…as all Boston-area muggers and rapists cheer.


…Africa wins again.


…thank gawd it’s to Brit TV and not ours.


…and along comes some “expert” to tell us not to do something everyone can adapt to.  Just fuck off.


…actually, we don’t believe anything he says, but okay.


…aaannnnnd: nobody cares.

Now is the time for link-free INSIGNIFICA:

   


…and indeed she is:

…as the countdown to her next Train Smash begins…

Entitled — Not

Snowflakes

Here’s one that’ll make you shake your head:

Ringo Starr’s granddaughter moans to court she earns £800 a month in a café… while Beatles star is worth £265million

Note the sense of entitlement;  he’s got it, lots of it, and she should get some because he’s her grandaddy.  (Note that she’s one of eight grandchildren, the other seven of which we hear not a word.)

Of course, Ringo worked his ass off to earn the money (and to keep it;  remember that the Beatles broke up in 1970, and many a fortune’s been lost in less time than fifty-odd years).

Unsurprisingly (and unlike Ringo), this little totty is pretty much a drag on society, to whit:

[Ringo’s son Zack Starkey] married Tatia’s mother Sarah Medikides when she was born in 1985 – the first of Starr’s eight grandchildren.  In 2016, [Tatia] herself had a child with Adam Low, making Starr a great-grandfather.

So, to recap:  single mother in her mid-30s, mediocre musician, waitress, already coining well over a grand a month from Grandpa Ringo, and whining about the Unfairness Of It All.

Too sad for words.

By the way, here’s Granddad at age 75, still performing.  And his buddies are from the following bands:  Santana, Toto, Billy Joel, Mr. Mister, ELO, and of course there’s Mr. Todd Rundgren.  Not bad company… and Our Tatia probably thinks she deserves a spot in the band, ahead of (ahem) Richard Page of Mr. Mister.

Okay, I couldn’t stand it.  Here’s Africa, played by those same buddies.

This is my current screen backdrop.  It’s the Scottish town of Inverary, with its castle in the foreground. (right-click to embiggen)

It will come as some surprise, perhaps, to learn that because of the whole hereditary thing, some childlessness and tangled family trees, the current (and next) Duke of Argyll is South African.
