I’m just putting this out there: if a story breaks about a man flattened with a cartoon frying pan by his husband because every single morning he sings and dances to that BK jingle:

♫ ♪ At BK, have it your way. You rule. ♪ ♫

It wasn’t me.

From 10/20 … Tuxedo wished no ill will for the former and current Occupant of the White House but felt he should have suffered like the average American with the virus.

So, the GOP says a Gun Registry is too hard to do, but registering Autistic Americans is information we need to have.

Oh GOP, kindly f**k all the way off.

I love that Diana Ross showed up  to the Met Gala and stopped the carpet in that fabulous hat and giant coat that was embroidered with the names of her five children and eight grandchildren, but the best part is when Christian Siriano noted that her dress was one from her own closet like she was sitting home in Connecticut and thought:

“I think I’ll go to the gala.”

And slay.

PS Of note is that 81-year-old Diana Ross is on a world concert tour.

The Felon wants to reopen Alcatraz, which has been closed since 1963, to house prisoners. May I suggest we turn Mar-Illegal into a prison since it already has one convicted felon there.

And it already has the guard tower …

There are those who say you shouldn’t have sand in your cakes and those who say sometimes it okay … which side do you fall on with these specific cakes?

Something to ponder … JD Vance dropped Ohio State’s championship trophy during White House celebration … JD Vance visited the Pope who died the very next day … JD Vance visited India and then a terrorist attack occurred and wear broke out … JD Vance endorsed his brother for mayor of Cincinnati and his brother lost 83% to 11%.

Stay away from JD Vance. And I’m not just talking to the furniture.

Speaking of the Met Gala, Andrew Scott nailed the assignment of the theme: "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."

Bold color and a celebration of Black dandyism on a hot gay man. And while just looking at those shoes hurts my feet, they are fabulous!

Win, win.

In case you were wondering why the Resistance keeps targeting Target, here’s why … the average Target Team Member in America earns about $3,044 per month which means the Target CEO earns $2,188,636 a month.

Yeah, no wonder Target is anti-equity.

Our local fine arts center put on a production of Hairspray last week and a good friend of mine directed it, so off we went to see the magic. Carlos, however, was confused as usual when I asked …

“Have you seen Hairspray?”

“I saw it with you.”

“I don’t think so. It’s been two movies, one a comedy by John Waters and one a musical version adapted from Broadway.”

“Well, I know we saw it. I mean, who was it that played the mother in the movie?”

“John Travolta.”

No, the mother.”

“John  Travolta.”

“It was a woman.”

“It was John Travolta.”

"No, it took place on an island and the mother … Meryl Streep! It was  Meryl Streep! She was trying to find out which one of her boyfriends was the father of her child. I TOLD you it wasn’t John Travolta.”

“And I’m telling you that you’re describing Mamma Mia and not Hairspray. Mamma Mia starred Meryl, but this isn’t that.”

“Oh, then I’ve never seen this.”

Oy. I adore that man.

Tuxedo thinks it’s time to put women in charge and end this misogynistic bull shiz. But then, he’s just a cat …

Leon Skum once texted this, but his child wasn’t killed. His child transitioned and is known as Vivian Jenna Wilson and has been disowned by her fucking asshole Nazi of a father.

This is who Leon Skum is; don’t forget it.

Walt Disney shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal calling for the company to drop its participation in a benchmark index used to rank companies on how friendly their policies are to LGBTQ+ people.

Stay woke.

We live in an America, under this regime, that when children are gunned down in schools, the GOP offers “thoughts and prayers” but vandalizing a Tesla is called “domestic terrorism.”

Let that sink in.

After some of the political bile, I was in the mood for a plate cleanser like these gorgeous caramel cakes! Anyone hungry?

And now, back to bile ... The Felon’s Band of Merry Morons, led by DUI hire and sexual predator Pete Hegseth “accidentally” texted their secret war plans to a reporter.

But … her emails.

We’ve been talking a lot about websites erasing LGBTQ+ Americans names and honor; we talked about Arlington National Cemetery scrubbing references to Black and Brown soldiers and military women.

Just think of it like this: this scrubbing of websites to eliminate disenfranchised Americans, LGBTQ+ people, Indigenous people, people of color or women is the modern-day equivalent of burning books and if you have no problem with that then you’re a Nazi, too.

Late breaking news … yesterday Democrats flipped a Pennsylvania District from Red to Blue that the GOP held for 46 years!!! Congratulations to James Malone!

The Resistance continues.

Arnas Fedaravičius is a Lithuanian actor best known for his roles in The Last Kingdom and The White Lotus but I’d like to know … Would You Hit It?

We lead an exciting life, Carlos and me; we are in the midst of having the gutters replaced on the house. Oh calm down. Don’t be jealous, we can’t all lead such fabulous lives.

Anyway, Carlos asked me if I had the name of the gutter company we were looking into and I said I’d get it off the computer after dinner. But, before checking, I went through the mail and laughed and Carlos said:

“What’s so funny?”

 “We were just talking about the gutters and here’s a flier in the mail for the same company! I’ll leave it on the counter and we can call tomorrow.”

Cut to the next morning, and Carlos said:

“You told me yesterday you were going to get the gutter company phone number.”

“I know, but then we got the flier in the mail and I told you I’d give you the number first thing this morning.”

“I don’t remember that conversation.”

I took out my cartoon frying pan, ready to thwap his melon and told him that he drives me insane.

“Do I?”

Thwap.

This Tuxedo Says is from August 2020 and, well, the same is true today, nearly five years later:

Tuxedo feels about the Occupant of the White House the same as his two Dads although he's slightly less profane …

That’s my boy!

Out there in Utah students in kindergarten would be required to learn about firearm safety in the classroom under a bill that passed the state House with overwhelming GOP support.

Yes, your five- and six-year-old would be required to learn how to handle a gun. What could possibly go wrong?

There is nothing like a pair of hot, romantic skinny dipping cakes while sitting by the ocean, eh?

After The Felon named himself chairman of Kennedy Center and removed Biden appointees from the board in favor of unqualified cronies including Second Lady Usha Vance and White House Chief of staff Susie Wiles, dozens of celebrities abandon the performing arts center in protest:

Actor Issa Rae announced that she is cancelling her "An Evening With Issa Rae" event slated for next month and that tickets will be refunded:

"Unfortunately, due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I’ve decided to cancel my appearance at this venue."

Television producer and writer Shonda Rhimes has resigned as treasurer of the center's board, quoting JFK:

“If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him."

Adam Weiner of the band Low Cut Connie has also canceled an appearance at the center:

"Upon learning that this institution that has run nonpartisan for 54 years is now chaired by [The Felon] himself and his regime, I decided I will not perform there."

Legendary soprano Renée Fleming resigned as artistic advisor to the center, as did singer-songwriter Ben Folds, who  stepped down from his role as advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra.

This is just the kind of rejection that infuriates The Felon more than anything. He has long wanted to be accepted by America's cultural elites but they see him for the cruel, fascist, incompetent failure he truly is.

The National Park Service has removed ‘transgender’ from the website for the Stonewall National Monument in New York, a small park dedicated to an LGBTQ+ uprising that helped advance civil rights for our community. And not only did they remove the word "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase our trans brothers and sisters, and you can bet that next they will come for the rest of us.

This pride, we riot … again.

Unlike Google, which has followed the Fascist in Chief in renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, Encyclopedia Britannica has said it will continue to use Gulf of Mexico for a few reasons:

We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the US.

The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water and the US’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

And stupid.

Texas is reporting one of the biggest measles outbreaks in generations, with 48 cases, doubling since last week, with 13 hospitalizations.

The outbreak started in Gaines County, which has one of the lowest child vaccination rates in the state, and where 91% of the people voted for The Felon.

This is what happens when you trust MAGA over doctors and scientists.
