Had my first stage combat class (as a student) in well over a year, and man, am I glad I took tomorrow off because I'm going to be one big ouchie in human form.

Not that particular governor, certainly.

Hey now, that's a *50% off* band-aid (with promo code GUTPRIDE).

In that building across from the Miss Worcester Diner. My wife and I would go there once a month or so and root through dozens of boxes of used vinyl and walk out with some real prizes. I found Spike Jones & His City Slickers and Tom Lehrer on the same day, in great condition, paid $2 each.

The universe can be pretty heavyhanded with the metaphors sometimes.

It's been said that guys who hate cats are likely to hate women, and in my experience that tracks. Cats aren't shy about exercising their agency, enforcing boundaries, and refusing to submit to unwanted attention, and, well, I think you can draw the conclusion from there.

You're making me wistful for the sketchy flea market in Worcester I used to scavenge for cheap used vinyl. I found some fantastic stuff there, always for cheap, and then the landlords were stupid about fixing a fire exit and the city shut it down.

A tan dog is lying on a sofa and wearing a shiny green party hat.

Happy birthday, Tennessee!
I took this photo of her in 2024, and will likely trot it out every year on her birthday. #dogsofbluesky

and this is why it is so beyond important that we do not take that fucking bait.

do not, ever, ever ever go in on this.

This business model cannot be rewarded. Do not ever do remote computing. I'm so serious. Do not do it! use a fucking potato computer if you have to! DON'T REMOTE COMPUTE EVER

Media literacy is deader than disco.

Regret to announce that we’ve reached Wrong Coat season. Every coat you wear from now til mid April will be The Wrong Coat for the weather

Television pioneer Fred Rogers, gone 23 years ago today.

His acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award is always worth a watch.

Thinking of a former friend who turned MAGA because he believed Trump when he said he wouldn't get the US into another war.

Doubly perversely hilarious/pathetic when you see how many job postings on LinkedIn are for gAI trainers, i.e., people to train their own replacements.

Larry is a true legend in the field and does not get half the respect he absolutely deserves.

Sure, fan outcry saved us from a weird-looking Sonic, but if we'd listed to fans in the past, we wouldn't have had Hugh Jackman as Wolverine or Heath Ledger as the Joker, so their batting average is pretty damn awful.

Spent about four hours last night putting together our new bed and we finished 90% of the headboard. Maybe we'll finish the rest of it today? I hope?

"I need AI to create memes cause I can't draw" bro stop being such a baby just fucking grab a pen and do some stick figures.

At this point in the Friday the 13th series, Jason was a zombie and fighting a Carrie White knockoff.

I've been writing articles about this problem since last August

One of the best series out now.
