Gruff but kindly Minneapolitan ogre who smells of 🦨. I fuck with Linux, dogs, jazz, recreational narcotics, vidya games, the library, and therapy.

I don't think the last presidential election was legit, I DEFINITELY don't think any of the midterms will be. There's no faith in the country who, when fascism arrived at its shores, shrugged and kept shopping on Amazon to fund the fascists. (See also: Apple, etc.)

I think that sentient life existed/will exist elsewhere in the universe, but the tiny window of time before sentient life on other planets is taken out by extinction event compared to billions of years on a geological scale (and of COURSE there were dinosaurs!) means little chance of coexistence.

I don't have any money to send you and thus I can't afford your therapy if I were to send n00dz. You don't want this bobs and vagene.

Maybe if you didn't have a "birthday" every 2 1/2 months.

Even after a very long hard day out, sometimes you gotta just "Let It Whip". #letitwhip #dancevideo #dancing #havingfun #bigguy #tummytuesday

We finally got Jerry Seinfeld to stfu about "everything being too PC nowadays" and fucking Marlon Wayans starts up.

The only person who has been held accountable for anything since January of 2025 has been Bovino and that's because he committed the sin of making himself look foolish instead of intimidating.

Meanwhile we consumers who actually paid the tariffs get nothing.

I have to think it's from growing up in an era when politics was allowed to be boring and without a 24-hour news cycle acting as a substitute for reality TV.

Probably where Cirque du Soleil gets ideas for a lot of their acts.

It's not your fault that things get more interesting after nightfall.

This is heartbreaking, she's been one of so very few voices in government advocating for accountability.

Right there with ya. There's a bar in Vegas called The Peppermill that sits in the parking lot of where the Riviera used to be; it has an awesome conversation pit complete with fireplace, because what's a more iconic combo than drunks and fire?

God dammit I am so tired of people posting screenshots saying "Look what they're saying on Twitter!" It's like the moron who goes up to his friend with a pile of dogshit in his hand and says "Look what I almost stepped in!"

Zero faith in any aspect of government at this point: local, county, state, or federal. You've all allowed Trump to turn our entire country into the worst reality show ever while forcing us to fund it as well.

Oof, there was a game I was super excited about back in the day called Magic Carpet (Microprose, maybe?) that was a magic carpet flight sim, I played that for about 2 minutes and I was done.

Fare thee well, Miracle Alien Cookies. You were a solid afternoon smoke that wouldn't get me too fucked up, and at $30/zip, so well worth it. I suspect we'll meet again on some spectacular sales day, but until then, au revior et merci pour tout les poissons.

Not so much a favorite show, but there are things that get her attention. She likes seeing the doedicurus when we watch prehistory documentaries, also wolves running on a hillside and a YouTube video of ducks just chilling in a creek. She dislikes Klingons and humans in animal costumes. Bark time.
