...if anybody still needs one, of what’s wrong with our society. A diver accidentally ended up in a whale’s mouth. He’s been interviewed. He and, as far as I could tell, the whale 🐳 are OK. The whale is probably still boring its buddies with the story. “So, I was at the all-you-can-eat, and then all of a sudden there was this HUGE thing in my mouth, grabbing my baleen! YUCK! And then...” blah blah blah blah.

Anyway. The point here is that Salon, a PMC publication if ever there was one, interviews not the diver, who was there, not even the whale, who was also there, but an Expert. Holy [unDruidly word]! How [unDruidly word]ing detached from reality can you get? And these are the people running things! No wonder we’re [unDruidly word]ed!

Readers, what is your preference on unDruidly words? Do I continue the policy, or do I let rip with the actual unDruidly words, of which I know an astonishing variety—I went to high school in the 1970’s AND was a Stephen King fan for 50 years, so I could probably qualify for a [unDruidly word]ing PhD in unDruidly words. What would you prefer? As they say in Chicago, vote now and vote often!

Or, even worse, block parties? The 4th of July block party 🎉 is on this year in my tiny town, and I’ll even skip that. Too many nutty people and evil people these days.
