This is Mazu, the sea goddess. Many temples in Taiwan and coastal areas of Fujian Province, China were dedicated to her. In Hokkien folk religion, she looks out for seafaring people.

Let me guess: stabbed himself in the back 18 times?

Welp. What an asshole.

Ah, the old "nation of whiners" trope. Always a solid midterm closing argument.

Yes. This is what polls are useful for. Not so much for predicting the outcome.

I tried adjusting my own derailleur once.

OK but he hasn’t done a positive thing on purpose. 😂

I regret it too, but for the opposite reason.

State Farm Arena doesn't even have a Section 109, row 1. They use letters. 😂

clean the dang house. Ugh. I live in a pig sty. It would take so little effort to keep on top of it; it's not a big place and there's no kids running around messing everything up. But every time I think to clean, I just plop down on the couch. 😭

Gosh, I wonder if Canada is in a good mood to negotiate their potash price. 🤔

Yeah but you have to pay for the sunshine every year that you use to power the panels. And you have to build pipelines to transport that sunshine from the faraway places where it's developed, and sometimes you have to liquefy it a load it onto gigantic tanker ships and carry it overseas, and there's always a risk of it exploding and...oh, wait. I'm thinking of the gas. Never mind.
