Y’all know Carlos has vision and hearing issues, right? Well, the other day, we were running errands and taking our recyclables and such to the Recycling Center. We loaded up the car and, as usual, got Ozzo to come along for the ride. But Ozzo, roughly 16 or 17 years old, has become a little hard of hearing, and having his own vision issues and it's a whole thing to get him into the car. As we drove to the recycling center, I told Carlos that Ozzo was definitely his dog because they are so much alike, and that’s when I realized I had a new name for Carlos:

“Carlozzo.”

He was not amused.

Tuxedo doesn’t wanna tell y’all how to vote, but he does think you’ve been getting it wrong for years.

The Italian release of the Oscar-winning thriller Promising Young Woman has been after the Italian-language version of the film used a male voice actor Roberto Pedicini to dub the role of Gail played by trans actor Laverne Cox.

In 2021, someone thought a trans female should be dubbed by a man.

The march goes on …

So, we had the pipeline hack last week and gas shortages all over the South with people waiting in line forever just to fill up, and hoard up. I only work away from home three days a week and my roundtrip commute is 6 miles, so I has plenty of gas and wasn’t worried.

But a co-worker said she had filled up her car and bought three extra-large gas cans and filled those up, too, because, as she said, “You never know.” I smiled at her little dimwitted face and asked:

“You’re still sitting on over a hundred rolls of toilet paper from last spring, aren’t you?”

Judging from the look on her face, I was right.

Joel Osteen was on the Today show saying:

“Don’t focus on what you have or don’t have.”

This from a man who owns a mansion, Ferrari, and a jet, and who took a $4.4 million federal PPP loan. This from a man of God who had to be shamed into opening his church after a hurricane for the people who were displaced from their homes. This from a  man whose net worth is estimated at $100M.

Perhaps Joel focuses too much on what he has.

The other day Carlozzo—gosh, that makes me smile—and I drove out to Costco for our Every-Five-Weeks-Shopping trip. We get out there early to avoid the crowds and the morons, but, apparently, at least one moron had the same idea.

I was standing in the meat section, looking at the pork tenderloin. We usually buy a large one and cut it into pork chops ourselves and save a couple of bucks. While looking, a woman came right up to me, right up on me, and reached in front and around me to grab a tenderloin. I backed up and gave her a look and then she inched onto me, which, sorry, I couldn’t help myself:

“Excuse me? Am I invisible?”

She gave me a look like she had no idea what I meant. Cut to Carlozzo and I headed to the checkout, and as we near a checker, I hear a voice alongside me, saying:

“I’ll just slip in ahead of you because I have just a few things.”

I turned. It was the moron. I said:

“No, thanks, I’m already here.”

She looked at me. Something clicked in her pea brain. She remembered. I felt better.

Alabama lawmakers ended their legislative session without a vote on one of the most controversial bills before them: a measure to outlaw gender-affirming medical treatments for transgender minors.

Now, before you go all ‘Woo hoo Alabama,’ let me tell you that the bill died because it was placed at the end of a debate agenda and lawmakers were tired and ready to go home.

It wasn’t the idea that the law would have been hateful and hate-filled, it’s because politicians are lazy and hungry in Alabama.

If you still don’t believe the GOP is terrified of Thing #45, howsabout this: he has ordered … ordered … the GOP to resist setting up a 9/11-style bipartisan commission to investigate the MAGAt riot at the Capitol in January.

Imagine the outrage from the right if, once out of office, Obama had given the Democrats an order. That says volumes about the complicit GOP and what they’re willing to do to this country for a con man.

Fuck.Them.All.

This is Hugo Soriano Tudela, a model from Spain. That’s all I know about him, and that’s really all I need, know what I mean?
