That was on the radio. None of that was on my stereo.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

@sluggodoug.bsky.social with the Talk Talk banger, It's My Life. Always reminds me of Munich 1985, a 2-day fest with my dad & brother. Guy in front of us sits through band after band, and we're now curious. Finally Talk Talk takes the stage: on his feet stomping, clapping, hell yeah! Then leaves. 🤣

I'd follow you anywhere. If your content is here, so am I.

The Grinnell connection makes me extra happy! Nice work, Dan!

Of all the women Steely Dan sang about, none sound as awesome as Josie. "She's the raw flame, a live wire; she prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire."
HELLS YEAH.

Microsoft support phone numbers tell me to go online and then hang up. But I've been trying online for 3 hours. Whatever info they need, I don't have it. So I keep going in circles. Fuck chatbots now and forever. *If* I ever get to a human, I'll try not to unload all my frustration on them.

Not a joke: today i was going to start working on a novel (pro-seggs work & anti-cop like me) but I'm locked out of my computer and tired of talking to chatbots for help. Customer service doesn't exist in the US anymore; better to waste electricity & water than pay a human to work. (That's a joke.)

Perfect ending to Black History Month would be the arrest and deportation of a certain *white* South African douchbag. But along with the rest of the Boers in South Africa, send him back to the Netherlands. Or outer space.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

I wish the media would run the clip I saw of that ghoul in college trying to rally support for the idea of not cleaning up after themselves because someone else is paid to pick up trash. It's so succinct a view of who he is. That guy. Who thought he was too good to throw away his own trash.

Slippery slopes only seem to apply to expanding liberties, when the reality is that it only occurs with restrictions of liberties. If people don't know you support the divine lives of trans people, you better get louder about it. Now.

We had to call "global warming" "climate change" because a) not everyone agrees the Earth is a globe & b) not everyone understood the warming was occurring underground not the air around us, so it meant warmer warm atmosphere, colder cold atmosphere, more evaporated water causing more precipitation🙄

Oof. Just put that in the relatable pile, please.

Laughing my ass off at "broligarchy" but not missing the point here. Gender affirming care treats dysphoria, but discrimination allows only cis people to access it.
Fuck that.

Not only did some friends and I once manage to unscramble and see BEWBS, but I was an expert at switching between Nickelodeon & Cinemax to adjust for the presence of my mom.

ABC 7 just asked the firefighters passing where they’re from and the firefighters said they were incarcerated they immediately panned lmao 😭 let it be known that the firefighters fighting near reseda blvd ARE THE PPL MOST OF U HATE

Make time for self-care. You and they deserve it.

Baybee was the worst. *Was* ☹

A Few Rules For Predicting The Future by Octavia E. Butler Octavia Butler was an author of moving and prophetic science fiction novels. She wrote an essay in 2000 for Essence Magazine that teaches us the capacity we have to understand the future, as well a…

“‘I didn’t make up the problems,’ [she] pointed out. ‘All I did was look around at the problems we’re neglecting now and give them about 30 years to grow into full-fledged disasters.’”

@americanair.bsky.social your scheduler needs help. Two flight delays today because crews didn't get enough rest time. Canceled flights all over the board. And I had to gate check my bag while there are 3 empty bins in plain sight.
If I never fly American again, this is why.

There is a literal Not-see on my plane. White Pride tattoo with swastika. While grateful to not be seated next to him, I did hope for the opportunity to "accidentally" bonk him on the head with my carry-on. But I couldn't because AmAir made me gate check it. With 3 empty bins in sight.

Always angry.

So I'm a man now? Because my urologist has removed a bunch of kidney stones from my sad, failing kidneys?
Talk about making shit up as you go 🙄

As someone else recently said, "If you hate trans people, fuck you. That's where I'm at now." And I felt the same.
