I got rid of my acne and gained chin whiskers. Somewhere, the universe is having a goddamned good guffaw.

Don't let the bastards get you down. Just be you, cuz you're the only one who can be.

I felt so lied to when I found out that Buddy Cianci did not, in fact, name his daughter "Nancy Ann."

There will be no Autumnal Erasure here.

This Erasure however, is encouraged.

PSA: My Christmas Season officially starts at 12pm EST Thanksgiving Day, when Santa Claus crosses Herald Square during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This is non-negotiable in my little world.

(Non-US-folks, feel free to apply this rule to your own little worlds if you like.)

Tempted to post Mariah Carey just to mess with everyone, but no... I'll be nice.

Sometimes you gotta just breathe...

Instructions unclear. Interdimensional portal now spewing out candy.

Unfortunately, it's all Tootsie Rolls.

Not that the NPS employees want that, but whoever's doing the directing here...

Am I cynical if I say it's bait? That they're baiting people to take it down again so they can point to that as an act of "rebellion" as a means to an end?

Perhaps the pickled peppers were already parceled into pecks, which Peter then picked for his own partaking?

Nope - I had the same thought and now have their "Top of the World" cover running through my head.

Dinosaur Dinner Theatre A place for history, and also stupid nonsense.

Just going to toot the horn of a YouTube channel I've fallen in love with. The subscriber list has grown nicely since I started watching, but I think they deserve more. 😊

Dunno why I'm feeling like this lately... 🤔

There's a list someone (or a group of someones) pulled together on Google Maps with local game stores, in case anyone doesn't know if there are any local to them: maps.app.goo.gl/kt72HtpyPdbT...

Amplify Rep Lieu's OG post. Here is a dem doing the exact messaging we ask for showing visually how fucked up this is.

I hate this timeline.

Clip from the (old) South Park movie: a bunch of the kids sit in a room (Wendy in the front, Cartman in the back). Character next to Cartman: "We were to understand there'd be pie and punch." (They were misled by the promise of pie and punch)

I have this book, and it's been sitting on my shelf. Time to take it down and actually read the damn thing!

The Washington Post Accused Me of “Gross Misconduct.” Here's My Response. This fight isn’t just about my job — it’s about who gets punished for telling the truth, and who gets protected for spreading hate and violence.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post.

I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing.

Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner.

Lol.
