a good thing is when someone posts a picture of a cat, and then people reply with "great cat, here also is a picture of my cat." unsolicited cat pics aplenty. this could be the world we build

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times.

I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ

After many years away, I’m back on the β€œdead mom” beat with an essay in @ihavethatonvinyl.com . It’s about San Jose, my mother, and the most mysterious record in my collection. ihavethatonvinyl.com/essays/people/

Movie theater popcorn with as much of that slimy nasty coconut oil β€œbutter” as possible before it’s basically soup. Like a thin layer at the bottom of the bag is ideal.

Cant stop thinking about the scene in Cabaret where Sally and her bohemian friends are driving around Berlin. They pass, like it’s the most normal thing, a corpse in the street, killed by N*zis.

Because the dog still needs a walk, I still have a book due later this year, and I need to make dinner.

IDK, I just really like the idea of being totally surprised by it. The surge of joy after opening my phone first thing in the morning and seeing the push notification. watching TV in the evening and hearing a bunch of honking and screaming outside as Jeopardy cuts to a special report.

24 convictions? Wow. I heard about a guy who had 34 convictions, all for felonies.

Travel bans hurt foreign touring bans (and American fans of those bands).

β€œTikTok and Instagram news-aggregator sites ran with it, and all of a sudden adult human beings started to believe MTV was going off the air because they saw it on, like, @PopBarf420.”

Bought this for my dad for his birthday a few years ago (he loves football, and one of his best friends was born at Tule Lake). Read the whole thing before giving it to him. Have always meant to thank you for telling this story.

What will Grand Teton’s shops purge under anti-DEI order? The Trump administration's deadline to β€œreview and remove” passed with shops closed for the season.

On literally the five-year anniversary of its release, The Eagles of Heart Mountain is set to be banned from national parks shops by the Trump administration.

I'm very proud of this book, a tale of resistance in the face of racism and cruelty. If that's worthy of banishment I'll wear it with pride.
