*After Harry Warren and Johnny Mercer , Bing Crosby , &c. I n the thumbnail bio for one of the faculty at a local "BIPOC" retreat ,  " a biculturally Black somatic decolonial Black feminist", &c.,  Uncle Scott note s the use of the expanded acronym QTBIPOC. Since it can be a full-time job, and a most exhausting one at that, keeping up with these things, that you may continue to signal your virtue and prove to the self-anointed "victim"-activist front groups that, like them, you too are on the side of the angels, Unc has, with the help of Google AI, appended below a handy cheat sheet, along with, dare  he forget,  his  preferred pronouns   or at least amateur nouns. It's the least  Uncle can do. ...

His faithful servant, Frederic, opened for me the chamber in which he was laid out.  Stretched upon his back, he reposed as if asleep; profound peace and security reigned in the features of his sublimely noble countenance. The mighty brow seemed yet to harb...

'The Day John Kennedy Dined' by Vindaloo Reed

I was amused by this promo for JFK Grocery, Indian and in Jersey City, so named it seems for being on John F. Kennedy Blvd. I must have registered when I did some Christmas shopping with another New Jersey Indian grocer back in 2022. I hear they do clandestine deliveries - it's a secret service - by motorcade with drivers wearing Nehru jackets. No relation to the DC-based RFK, Jr. Grocery, with which the HHS commissary has a contract for grass-fed beef and raw whole milk. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: JFK Grocery < jfkgrocery2024@gmail.com > Date: Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 5:01 PM Subject: Don't miss it! 20+ items on deal ๐Ÿ”ฅ Ghee 33% off, Atta $16.99, free delivery $50+ To: JFK Grocery < jfkgrocery2024@gmail.com > JFK INDIAN GROCERY ...

Why don't you go f*** yourself ...

... Smileactives tooth polish! I 've bitched for decades about the ageism rampant in our culture, an extension of the mindless cult of eternal youth in its belief that to be older is to be worn out, decrepit, dingy, unsexy (autocorrect: "unisex"), bigoted, uncool, you name it ... So there's this idiot commercial for Smileactives "pro whitening gel", and the lady announcer actually says something like this: "You can leave your teeth all yellow, like old Nana or Pop Pops - or you can get Smileactives and have teeth six shades whiter in just seven days!" The sick twisted nerve of those a-holes! I practically vomit every time they run that ad - so I am rather pleased to find that not only do I have company, but that their Trustpilot rating from users is a Poor 2.4 out of 5.0!
