I'm surprised you had not heard the song before. I'm a big fan, though, so I'm familiar with all their hits. Karen Carpenter didn't write those lyrics, but it's possible they are a reflection of her experience. I don't know. She died many years later. Rainy Days and Mondays was a huge hit, also with sad lyrics. Talkin' to myself and feelin' old Sometimes I'd like to quit Nothin' ever seems to fit One of their songs I had never heard before until I listened to a cover on YouTube is "I Need to Be in Love". Apparently it was well know and loved in Japan. Once I heard it, I loved it immediately. This one also is a bit melancholy. It's very beautiful. 💓 Again Karen did not write the lyrics. Many say the quality of Karen Carpenter's voice remains in a class by itself.

Stunning corrupt act by Trump to enrich himself, while sacrificing US security, reported by WSJ, and also covered by NYT Below, Senator Chris Murphy comes to the floor to discuss Trumps corrupt action, how his company received money from the UAE while Trump approved sale of sensitive AI chips to UAE. https://open.substack.com/pub/bluepowerdemgirl/p/senator-chris-murphy-makes-a-stunning?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

What do you enjoy on these cruises? What goes on? What is the draw to take part? I'm sure there are some good shows, but with 5500 passengers, is there enough entertainment to go around? But back to the Miami case. Why are so many drugs involved? One of the perp's mug shot looked totally scary. The guy from Atlanta. Is that from doing meth and other drugs? How many passengers take drugs? I don't get it, traveling all the way across country to board a ship and do drugs. Anyway, I get it, a lot of gay dudes love to combine sex and meth. But yeah, Atlanta guy. Wow!! Guys. You do you. I've read posts on the other board defending the benefit of chemsex But it's not for me.

People, Lara Trump has launched her singing career. This is her chance to shine! Yes, America will watch her Hollywood Ho' routine. It's very Trumpian.

You'd think more folks would have joined at the theater. Me, I love a well crafted documentary.

Whether reporting the details of age, hometown, sexual orientation and mugshot of the arrested passengers was in the public interest or yellow journalism is debatable. Outfits like The Advocate, Out.com, Instinct, and Queerty are so full of lurid, trashy stories, nothing they report surprises me. Click-bait is at the center of their revenue stream. I don't believe the public needed to know so much personal information about the Miami arrests. It rubs me the wrong way. The local media in Miami also reported much of arrest details. As a gay man, it's easy to feel like they were treated like zoo animals, on display for everyone to see. ------------------ The cruise ship might have been willing to bargain with you regarding the upgrade, if it's money on top of what they already collected from the perps or others that failed to board. They probably have a proprietary process in place to deal with it. Remember boys, the Internet is forever.

One might wonder how an 88 year old man inserted a shell into his anus. Not an easy task, right? Was he squatting down on it?

What a grotesque horror! 🤮 Will it serve as a reminder of the timeline in our history when the US went to shit?

Bankruptcy is a good thing for Von Shitzinpanz. He loves not having to pay his creditors, claiming that his use of bankruptcy laws is brilliant. Trump has even floated the idea of US bond default. I wonder when corporate America will admit supporting the GOP has soured. Can they be happy with all of Diaper Don's shenanigans? As long as the worker bees can keep funneling adequate tax revenue into this house-of-cards, perhaps the show can go on, except at the Kennedy Center, of course.

The film was directed by an Epstein alum. Melania must have felt such nostalgia during production.

Now that TikTok is run by investors accused of proliferation of fascist and neo-Nazi content, and blocking Democratic thought, one might ask "should we bother responding to TikTok trash." It's as if "I have no dog in this fight"

Long after 🍊 is taking his dirt nap, will any of the victims ever spill the list of names they threaten to create? Doubt it. Predators are protected by law enforcement, the judicial system, corporates media, and lawyers.

🐕 Weighed down by the crushing burden of his life, his family's hatred, his emptiness, why voice anything at all when they never listened?

That's a good point. Under our system, a candidate without a large base of monied supporters might not advance too far in politics. Sorry to be fussy, but when I hear "Green Party" I will never not think about Jill Stein in Moscow, dining with Vlad Putin and QAnon conspiracist Michael Flynn. More recently Stein claimed how Democrats spread flagrant lies about US immigrants, that Latinos should support her. Putin likely continues to love Jill and her Democrat-hating jargon. Yeah, I know, I complain about the Dems too. But Dems are nowhere as evil as Stein claims, and are a far superior choice vs. the GOP.
