I am happy to report that at least one does - My primary care office has not removed their masking requirements. I've accidentally forgotten mine once and they were kind enough to provide me with one. I am shocked though - this is the only doctor I've come across doing this.

Pam Anderson reminds Seth Rogen he still owes her an apology for Pam & Tommy Pam Anderson reminds Seth Rogen he still owes her an apology for Pam & Tommy

You're fucking right, Pam . He does owe you an apology, and as far as I'm concerned until he reckons with this cruelty on his part, fuck Seth Rogen.

I'm afraid, this might make you....."old people"??? That can't be true though.

I can't think of postage stamp price increases without thinking of Nate Bargatze's great bit about this.

Man, rough week for music fans. First Sly and now Brian? I can't help but find it sad that some of these musical giants are leaving. I guess this is what happens in your 50s? People you admired growing up start to get quite old and then die?

I really had a hard time with his involvement in that Pam & Tommy piece of garbage. It was shameful to take part in a "bio" of someone still alive, whose privacy was invaded horribly and literally came out AGAINST the project. Plus they're both from British Columbia! COME ON SETH!

I hear ya - I've had to pretty much quit facebook, and barely open instagram unless someone sends me a meme and heck even limit my time here on occasion. It's not easy when the world's on fire!

This is laughable - but also really sad that it's so common that we are blatantly lied to. I guess I think it's nice that the Liberals seem to only double the numbers, where the Conservatives are included to multiple by 10?

Things are not good.

It's "Old Time Rock & Roll" for me - I asked the DJ at my wedding to note it in his contract, that he would nullify his contract and not be paid if he played it, hahaha. He protested, asked me what happens if someone requested it - I said, "send 'em to me".

I'm sure I'm not the first to clock this but I've been noticing lately how often white people moving to a different country are called "ex-pats" which is fun! But if you're not white and moving to a predominantly white/western country, you are called an "immigrant". Double standards are fun eh?

Thanks to the internet, I learned that I saw U2 open for the J Geils Band in 1982. Sadly, thanks to my poor memory I have zero recollection of it.

To be fair, I was 11-12 and likely high for the first time as potheads hotboxed the PNE.

I saw her open for Crowded House ages ago, and literally left to get a drink because I thought she was so bad!

I’ve wondered ever since if she had a bad night, or I did, because clearly she is not awful, hahahaa

Judging grammar is problematic in most personal situations, but I *will* judge the president of the US, and/or his "communications" team when they use the wrong you're/your/yore!

I liked β€œAcadie” and β€œBeauty of Wynona” back then, but my interest sorta petered out when he began releasing vocal-free stuff. He’s really got a style that suits some music though! ( p.s. always loved his song called Rocky World, from Wynona)

Funnily enough when Teatro came out I was probably a bigger Lanois fan than Willie (Willie was important but I wasn’t as active in my fandom then) and the album deepened my appreciation for Willie, seeing how adaptable he was to Lanois’ approach and sound!

"What's a million plus a millions"

"Tee hundred?"

Interviewer leans in angrily, "A ZILLION!"

Kinda tracks in the DOGE way of confusing 8 million with 8 billion, eh?

Kid Snippets: "Job Interview" (Imagined by Kids)
YouTube video by Bored Shorts TV Kid Snippets: "Job Interview" (Imagined by Kids)

Thinking about DOGE and all its bullshit made me recall this very funny video from a simpler time. At times, it's like Elon interviewing his DOGE "staff" and other times, it's like the constant vacillating between firing and re-hiring!

I guess this is what happens when you elect a painfully stupid reality tv β€œstar”. You get deplorable behavior that he thinks will be β€œgood for the ratings”?

Well I took your advice and checked them out. And was once again reminded that I really don't go for hardcore punk, lol. I can say that they sound like they're doing a great job of it, but my brain usually asks me to turn it off, pretty quickly!

Great episode! I have to admit, it kept throwing me to hear John refer to Willie as "Nelson"! In all my years, I can't recall ever hearing anyone do that, I imagine at least in part because he's THE Willie, who else could you mean?

I have to wonder how this guy thinks the roads he drives on were funded? Taxes (i.e. redistribution of money for the betterment of society) are not exactly a new concept, nor are they "antifa" or "anarchist" or "communist" really.

This makes me think of that axiom that people get β€œmore conservative” as they get older while my views move more and more β€œleft” or progressive the older I get. I have to wonder if the right movement of EVERYTHING has left us with little choice but to become, you know, communists?
