Thanks, TL. No offense meant.

And yes, as you state, Monsanto/Bayer has left a scorched earth trail of tears behind it.

Teresa, I used to be able to eat gluten freely, but I will say I only ate quality food. Increased stress can turn someone with a healthy gut into someone with a sensitive gut; I now have to be careful about eating gluten. My homemade artisanal bread seems to cause the least reaction. Ever heard about the baker at Union Square Greenmarket who makes a regular white bread that people with celiac can eat? Mostly what I remember is that the dough ripens for up to a month (my homemade bread ripens for at least 18 hours in addition to its initial rest of 2 to 6 hours).

There's something about Sean Penn that usually says, "miserable anus". It alternates with a punchable smirk when he tries to smile. Zelensky is ideal companionship for him in both modes.

I concur. If Penn wasn't rich and famous, he'd have gotten that arrogance beaten out of him a long time ago.

He's a lifelong beneficiary of something I call "asshole magnetism". It took me a while to understand it. People who have been cowed by bien pensant institutionalization, i.e. a "good education", are perversely attracted to arrogant jerks. They get a vicarious kick out the jerk's aggressive idiocy. They mistake it for rebellion.

You nailed it. Remember when he was lauded for punching photographers as if that were a sign of his revolutionary status?

Back then, I liked to imagine myself pretending to be a member of the paparazzi. I'd aim the camera at Sean and when he swung, I'd duck and make sure everyone saw him initiate. Then, I would legally act in "self-defense."

That would have been a real education, and well-deserved too.

His brothers were the real talent. Pity about Chris. I liked his acting. I've moved away from Michael's music, but it really appealed to me at one point.

Sean Penn looks like he's on 'roids and just did a ton of cocaine. And he has long been a fan of violent warlords, just not the ones the deep state is funding openly. So is Penn Intelligence psy-op now, or just a useful idiot?

I have such a hard time using "intelligence" or "useful" in the same sentence as "Sean Penn" but "idiot" swings my vote!

His only real quality work was in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”. After that, my tastebuds became soured on him.

Spicoli!

Truth be told, I liked him in "Mystic River" and "Bad Boys," too.
