Superman

 So, this is the 2nd time I've written this today.  What happened?  Google so desperately wants me to use AI to write this a window popped up over halfway through today's post asking me if I wanted to use AI, when I clicked on no, everything I'd written disappeared.  That's the 2nd time this has happened.

Anyway, yesterday's weather did not follow the forecast.  Instead of having thunderstorms in the afternoon, we had sunshine.  True, the humidity was high, but the storms stayed away.  Supposedly we're going to get the rains today.  One thing that is for certain is that it's very humid right now.

Yesterday was another one of those days that things got done but not a lot of things were accomplished, if you know what I mean.  The problem was that I didn't make a list in the morning,  If I don't create a "to do" list my mind will dawdle on the unimportant.  Running around yesterday morning was one of the things I did.  Picking up a new aquarium light for the tank in the living room was one of the few concrete chores completed.

Last night I did go see Superman.  I liked it a lot.  David Corenswet is good as the Man of Steel.  I think, perhaps, the strongest performance was by Nicholas Hoult.  You know Lex Luthor is bad, but his malignance is hidden behind layers of smooth talking affability.  Just as you think you know where the story is headed, a reveal takes you in another direction.  Whereas most superhero movies use the first half to set up the big fight during the last half, in Superman you are hit with new surprises even during the fight. Even the true insidiousness of Lex Luthor is a surprise.

Of course, the Epstein scandal is still dogging the Orange Anus.  His entire political is based on forming one coalition consisting of many conspiracy groups and now reality has come to bite him in the ass.  Believe me when I say we should really fell sorry for reality.  Now, the GOP, which has wallowed deeply into this swamp in order to gain power, is stuck in quicksand.  Do not doubt that sucking sound you hear as they get sucked under is a great joy to many ears.  Every day there is a new desperate twist or turn, so many flips and flops they're struggling to keep up with the changes.  Things are flying at them so fast, I don't think many of them realize that every sound bite, every tweet, every interview is going to come back to haunt them.

And then there are Orangie's bruises, the ones that are being covered up with make-up because too many people were beginning to pay attention to them.  They imply he is not in the best of health.  If something were to happen to him, we'd be stuck with Vance, a man whom every one derides.
