Wow...you made my day with this new-to-me word of day. Turns out it was "Made in 'Murica" like so much of the shit we're seeing on social media these days. lol
As for the Founding Fathers, I suspect they'll stay buried or risk getting cancelled for not doing more sooner. Can't please anyone or everyone anymore. This is why we can't have nice things. Not even a non-felon president it seems.
Thanks for a new synonym for my other catch-all favorite "clusterfuck."
I recently read where a New Zealand (I think it was NZ) dictionary organization has declared the word of the times to be "enshittification". Yeah, that's a word, well it is now! It perfectly described what you're talking about. Whether it's Facebook, YouTube, X (Twitter) or corporate entities that are taking over everything, we, the small, are finding ourselves without a voice and almost no way to avoid dealing with entities we have come to hate. Wish I had an answer, but I don't. Not sure what any of us can do. Keep telling it as it is, maybe Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and others will rise up out of the grave and inspire us to write a new Declaration of Independence. Just think of all the things we can blame on Trump, as they did in 1776 on George III.
Not sure why my comment isn't showing up, but I responded yesterday...or at least I thought I hit enter. Long story short, thanks for the new vocabulary. Love its "origin story" and usage. Almost as good as my go-to: "clusterfuck." lol
I agree with you pretty much completely. I miss that Whoopi. One of the first steps to maturity is learning to be mindful of one's speech, and thick-skinned where possible. Keep on keeping on, good sir!
Thanks, Clarke. I deeply hope that Whoopi is still alive and just waiting to come back out and play. I fear her need to make a living—too many divorces and bad business decisions—have made her stay too long in roles she obviously hates. And target of so much online hate she can’t possibly understand.
Lovely...is that the same one as the photo I chose?? It looks almost identical save for the door shapes. But hard to tell. Either way, it's stunning architecture!

Hahaha…alas, we all have some glass in houses. The sunshine’s gotta shine through somehow, right? lol

Wow...that place is too fancy for me to pee in. :-)
Wow...wonder if instead of "how's sales?" they ask "how's it hanging?" lol
