I Didn't Say It ...

Bad Bunny, first artist to win Album of the Year for a record sung entirely in Spanish, from the Grammy stage as he accepted his award:

“We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different.”

Wise words; and to be different we need to understand and accept how alike we are despite our differences.

Yes, let’s go after those immigrants committing crimes in this country, but those people aren’t the housewives and the student and the immigrants doing the right thing. They aren’t five-year-old boys or mothers or nurses.

The system is broken and we are allowing it to break.

Stand up!

Christian Menefee, Democrat from Texas was sworn in as the newest Representative in the House, and said this:

“It’s been more than 330 days since the people of the 18th Congressional District had representation, had a voice in Congress. When this body took on important votes about whether to cut SNAP [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] benefits, about whether to make it more difficult to access Medicaid, important issues, this district had no voice in Congress, so this one is for the 18th [district].”

Taking a stand. Making a stand. And looking fine while he does it!

Josh Gad, actor, on Cankles using his Slovenian Hooker wife’s “film” as a deflection for the fact that he’s a child rapist:

“The fact that we are waking up with all of the evidence everybody’s been screaming to see for the past 10 years finally out there, accusing [Cankles] in detail of some of the most horrific and evil things any of us have ever had to read, while he’s out there promoting his wife’s 40 million dollar Instagram reel is nothing short of insane. The media not covering this 24/7, however, is nothing short of pathetic and damning is beyond words.”

The rules don’t apply to the rich … well, the rich and white … well, the rich and white and male.

Time for a new way of life and we can start by punishing all the pedophiles no mater how many coins they have.

Don Lemon, journalist, after his arrest by the Cankles regime:

“I have spent my entire career covering the news. I will not stop now. There is no more important time than right now, this very moment, for a free and independent media that shines a light on the truth and holds those in power accountable. Last night, the DOJ [Department of Justice] sent a team of federal agents to arrest me in the middle of the night for something that I’ve been doing for the last 30 years, and that is covering the news. The First Amendment of the Constitution protects that work, for me and for countless other journalists who do what I do. I stand with all of them, and I will not be silenced.”

No one should be silenced.

If you like Don Lemon or not the idea that a journalist can be arrested because a diaper soiling, nap taking, racist, rapist, fascist sociopath got his Pampers™ twisted is un-American and unless you want all media silenced vote the regime and all its Congressional lapdogs out of office.

Bernie Sanders, on Jeff Bezos’ decision to lay off 30% of the Washington Post staff:

"If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy."

He wants the cash, and more cash, and all the cash. That’s Bezos; he has a wife to keep in plastic surgery, Botox, filler, and “chicken cutlets.”

Shaboozey, a Nigerian-American singer and rapper, onstage after winning his first Grammy:

“Immigrants built this country, literally. So this is for them, for all children of immigrants. This is also for those who came to this country in search of a better opportunity to be part of a nation that promised freedom for all and equal opportunity to everyone willing to work for it. Thank you for bringing your culture, your music, your stories and your traditions here. You give America color.”

His statement reminds me of a video I saw with members of the ICEstapo trying to order lunch at a Mexican restaurant. The manager comes to the table and tells them to get out and then adds:

“You come here for our food and our music and our culture and then you go outside and throw us to the ground and detain us and send up to a camp. Get the fuck out.”

We all came here from somewhere else; and we brought our lives and hopes and dreams and pasts with us. Why is it suddenly wrong and bad and criminal to be an immigrant, unless you’re a white immigrant. Is it that simple?

Yes, for those on the right, it’s a matter of color.

Bobservations

Carlos was talking about his former job working with the Hispanic community, the unhoused community, and the local schools to talk to kids about drugs and drinking and smoking.

Well, one day he and a few women on the staff went to a local middle school for an anti-drug program but before they got started there was a woman there selling faces creams for blotchy skin and under eye bags and tiny wrinkles and before you could, ‘Wait one damn minute,’ Carlos was slathered in creams and potions and lotions, none of which worked.

I asked him why he did it, and he said, wait for it, the ladies made him. Then I reminded him of that one word in the English language that might have saved him:

“No.”

“But you don’t know these women!”

Oh Carlos … and then he told me there was a picture of him covered in lotions and potions so I am on the hunt for that!

This Tuxedo Says is from August 2021:

"Once again Tuxedo has proven that, like his two Dads, he has zero fucks left to give to these anti-masker, anti-vaxxer loons."

And it wouldn’t be lost on Tuxedo to note that the MAGAts have no problem with ICEstapo masking up and murdering people and arresting children.

I forgot to mention that this month in my household is called Fuckuary as it is the month where my mother passed away February 17 2007; my Aunt Pam passed away February 14, 2009; my sister Jeri passed February 15, 2014; my father passed away February 1, 2024;  and while some of you may not count your pets as family, I do, and so ... The Great Tuxedo passed away February 15, 2023.

I don’t enjoy February Fuckuary.

A veritable who’s who of who’s that was the “celebrity” guest list for the premiere of Melanie’s “movie” at the Kennedy Center:

Daytime TV host has-been Dr. Phil; Dr. Mehmet Quack Oz; rapper Waka Flocka Flame; social media magician Pete Anthony Sciarrino III; Fox “News” host Maria Baritomo; Jordan Belfort, the serial fraudster. And then you have the people forced to show up lest Cankles go off like DUI hire Pete Hegseth; Second Lady Usha Vance’ Attorney General Pamela Jo  Bondi, FBI director Kash Patel; and heroin addict RFK Jr.

Sounds abysmal, doesn’t it?

I needed a palette cleanser after that last bit so here’s a photo of the flotation devices my neighbors have at their pool.

Keep in mind that the DOJ arrested journalists Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, Jamael Lydell Lundy and Trahern Jeen Crews; all people of color; all journalists covering a story.

Who has not been arrested by the DOJ are Jonathan Ross, who shot Nicole Good four times, once in the face, and ICEstapo agents Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez who shot Alex Pretti as he laid on the ground dying.

Down in Texas of all places Democrat Taylor Rehmet has flipped Texas Senate District 9 Blue, pulling off a major electoral upset in a district Cankles won by 17 points in 2024.

It’s coming … the Blue Wave!

Fox “News” host Bullshit Barbie AKA Kayleigh McEnany is pushing for Melanie to win an Academy Award for the documentary “Melanie: From Whore House to White House.”

In addition to seeing Melanie get an Oscar, McEnany claimed Melanie would outshine everyone in attendance at Hollywood’s most glamorous event:

“If she was to go, she would be the best dressed and the classiest dressed by a long shot.”

Bullshit, Barbie.

Architecture Wednesday: Jessica Chastain’s Gilded Age Manhattan Apartment

Once you enter the opulent lobby of the Osborne cooperative ... built between 1880 and 1885 ... you are transported back in time with its magnificent turn-of-the-century details … marble, mosaics, gilded surfaces and leaded glass, glistening carved wood details; the Tiffany glass was created by Louis Comfort Tiffany and is reputed to be Tiffany's first decorating job.

So, let’s head upstairs to 4B, the meticulously renovated crown jewel of the Osborne which has been renovated, updated and revived. The move-in ready four bedroom home’s Gilded Age details set the stage for a lifestyle of unparalleled luxury and sophistication. The sun-drenched living room has restored mahogany paneling, elaborately carved doorways and windows, and a very special bay window with Tiffany Studio-created leaded glass transoms. Additional details include plaster crown moldings, oak parquet floors, fourteen-foot ceilings, and one of five wood-burning fireplaces in the home. Adjacent, the parlor room evokes the grandeur of bygone days with a spectacular framed oak doorway with pocket doors and period hardware. Here is another of the five wood-burning fireplaces, this one with a more modern marble surround and wall treatment.

The living room, library and dining room all have raised and fielded paneling that accentuate the architectural beauty of the space including restored original wainscoting, pocket doors, leaded glass transoms, gorgeous oak flooring, original, restored plantation shutters, and much more.

The eat-in kitchen has a soaring fourteen-foot ceiling, a rolling ladder that’s both practical and a fun design element, plus a custom central island that provides a pop of color and functions as the kitchen’s main gathering space. Incredible storage is available in the custom quartersawn oak cabinets; top-of-the-line appliances are integrated with custom panels.

The en suite primary is a romantic space with another of the five wood-burning fireplaces and a wall of mirrored closets and a bespoke copper-soaking tub. The fully tiled bathroom includes a water closet, double sinks, walk-in shower and built-in vanity. Down the hallway are two additional bedrooms and full bathroom with large soaking tub. The sunny east-facing bedroom has a trio of windows with views to Carnegie Hall.

Apartment 4B has had an illustrious provenance, with previous tenants including Adam Guettel, composer for musical theater; Bobby Short, American cabaret singer and pianist: and Leonard Bernstein, iconic composer, conductor, and educator—a lineage perfect for the buyer who loves the aesthetic of Old Hollywood and the Gilded Age.

The Osborne is across from Carnegie Hall, one block to Central Park, proximate to Broadway theaters, the shops at Columbus Circle, scores of the best restaurants in the world and multiple subway and bus lines. Amenities include a newly renovated gym, building and bike storage, 24/7 doormen, resident building manager and a landscaped roof terrace with open city and Central Park views.

And for just $7.5M
