You might listen to too much Billy Bragg.

I used to be able to recite the plot for any MASH episode after seeing the first 10 seconds.

I love Necco wafers. I used to love smelling the flavor of the day coming from the factory. Now, however, I am unsure what will crack first, the wafer or my teeth, so they are a distant memory.

Chickens are complete savages. A chicken that size would destroy you.

Wow. I have ventured into the depths of wikipedia, and today I have learned some things about Canada.

We don’t really have a fire-safe window for our hanukkiah. I used to post pictures on Facebook instead, figuring that was basically a virtual window into our home. That’s kind of ruined now, and I don’t post there anymore, so I guess Bluesky is my new window for the light of Hanukkah.

There’s only one deranged person here, and it’s not Rob Reiner.

He looks pretty much just like the Illinois Nazis, which would be comical if it wasn’t so repulsive.

Is this about him not knowing how to flip a coin?

These kinds of trips are unforgettable life experiences. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and I want to catch it!

It really is alien. I realize that, say, Mike Johnson is already a soulless husk of a human, like the shed carapace of a cicada, but I wonder if some of these other people can feel themselves rotting from within when they go home at night. Trumpism is like a necrotic spider bite to the soul.
