Three cats looking at the camera

I am sorry that life is such that the only way I am able to engage with the universe is by sharing cat photos.

Does Billy Batson have potential problems if he talks music with Peacemaker?

Happy Birthday Baldur, Freyja, and Heimdall. Have some catnip.

Apple's headphones seem pretty cool.

Hi there.

The album cover for Yes’s 90125

Today (9/01/25) is the day to listen to some Yes.

There is nothing like the week after a Worldcon to remind me why I'm done with Worldcon. (Even if global politics improved...)

Really enjoyed this.

The problem with being old is I don’t post as much because I don’t have the energy to argue all night with strangers on the internet about the fact they’re wrong

So happy that both Superman and Fantastic Four were able to so fully embrace the source material, and able to bring things like Krypto and H.E.R.B.I.E. into live action and take them seriously but not TOO seriously.

You can tell how tall Surtur can get based on where the scratching post rope gets pulled down.

I just wrapped up a shift at Cinema Rex at @convergencecon.bsky.social and I think it was the most popcorn I’ve ever made and served there. I lost count of how much I made. #cvg2025

“I told him it was brutal and cruel.”

Minnesota Senator @tinasmithmn (D) pulled Utah’s @senmikelee out of a Republican meeting and confronted him for his ugly tweets blaming Democrats for the shootings of Dems in Minnesota — by a man friends say was a staunch conservative.

Mike Lee confronted by Minnesota colleague over shooting comments "Honestly, he seemed a little surprised to be confronted," Sen. Tina Smith said.

"Asked about Lee’s reaction, Smith said, “'Honestly, he seemed a little surprised to be confronted.'”

I think it can be made to be less surprising.

Fun fact: the pizza roll was invented in Duluth by Bea Ojakangus. Gino Paulucci needed another product to utilize his egg roll machine. So naturally an Italian American owner of an American Chinese food company challenged a Finnish American cookbook writer. Jeno’s Pizza Rolls were the result.

Hi there.

Everybody who is asking if Worldcon can possibly have a normal year should remember this.

Between Andor and Doctor Who Disney+ is really knocking it out of the park the last two weeks. Great stuff.

Another mandatory musical pairing (somehow these always seem to involve Rush) - Pet Shop Boys’ Suburbia followed by Rush’s Subdivisions.
