HE totally supports the firing of those two female Lululemon employees who chased a pair of shoplifters and then called the cops on them. Shoplifters (especially young men of color) are definitely entitled to steal stuff, and employees who chase them or try to bust them are nothing but vigilante troublemakers.

I wanted to post and discuss these Barry clips before getting on yesterday’s flight, but one thing and another kept getting in the way. I still haven”t seen the Barry and Succcession finales but at least I’m back in the zone. I totally know what happens in both finales, and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
I also need to see You Hurt My Feelings at the earliest opportunity.
It’s 7:20 am in West Orange, New Jersey (Jett and Cait‘s place). I woke up at 3:25 am. My French Bee flight left Orly around 7:25 pm last night; it arrived around 8:25 pm at Newark. I sat in a forward coach section…not horrible, not great. Unless you’re in first-class or business, eight-hour flights are generally agonizing as a rule.
A Memorial Day conviction, titled “Sensible Patriotism,” that I shared on 5.29.21:
I’ve always preferred the terms “those who served” or “those who fell in service to our nation” as opposed to “those who gave their lives.”
My father, a former Marine Lieutenant who battled the Japanese at Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima (and who once confessed to having downed a few belts of Scotch with some fellow officers before the assault on Iwo Jima on 2.22.45), always dismissed the wording of the latter sentiment. He found it specious.
Nobody “gives” their life in combat — they fight as best they can to achieve victory or at the very least not get killed, and sometimes fate tilts against them. That’s it — that’s all it boils down to.
