Well that was a fun and significant weekend. Gary Gray, (known in some parts as variously Wetmachine’s “quiet Beatle”, Wetmachine’s Cowboy Neal, Wetmachine’s Scotty (“I can no make Wetmachine go any faster, Captain, the di-lithium crystals are already overheated!”), etc, ) got married to the lovely and talented Marcia Levin. As I can attest with some confidence, having been best man.
Good show, old man!
As a Peace Corps Volunteer living the village of Fanaye Dieri in drought-hit Senegal 1974-76, I used to hitch hike to Podor every few weeks to pick up my mail. There I stayed overnight w another PCV, among whose books I first discovered Cavafy & Checkov. https://t.co/YHY0ZLZ9p7
“I wonder if Alexandria, in all its glory, in all the long history
of its ancient days, had ever seen a youth more exquisite,
more perfect than this boy.”
– C.P. Cavafy, “Days of 1909, 1910 and 1911”, translated by Avi Sharon.

The new $10 banknote featuring civil rights activist Viola Desmond will go into circulation tomorrow — and her sister will be the first person to use it. https://t.co/UJcMSWEId1
What cowardly shit is this? Is that mask intended to intimidate? I would certainly seem so. Who is too chickenshit to be seen holding an American flag? Christ, I'm known many third graders with more guts than that. What a fucking ugly photo. Not sure how it ended up in my feed.

Pelosi is not perfect. But she is strong & smart & fearless; & (UNLIKE SCHUMER) she will not be mindfucked by Republicans. She is a master of congressional chess & she is successful. I do wish she would ditch @WhipHoyer, who I can't stand. But please count me 100% Team Pelosi.
#YesSheDid The choice for Speaker of the House of Representatives is obvious. I stand with Nancy Pelosi!
