Aware that I should have said “Eva and me” but I think the tinsel has worked its way backward into my brain. Don’t worry about it.

OP in white clown makeup and blue accents meant to resemble the cornflower Corningware design. He wears a silver tinsel bob wig and a white sweatshirt with blue florals around the neck. He is holding out a corningware dish filled with candy.

OP (dressed as cornflower Corningware clown) and coworker Eva dressed as a witch. Both are seated and smile at the camera.

A sampling of the words this candidate used to describe millennial women:

- “coddled americunts”
- “promiscuous skanks”
- “party whores”
- “damn sloots” (sluts)
- also 2 references to "the female species"

You’re on the right track with the bell striking!

They’re singing bowls - the sharp hits are strikes, and then those weird bubbles that look like building and falling sirens are when a mallet is circled around the bowl’s rim.

It’s such a pretty waveform…

Partial screenshot of audio waveform in Adobe Audition. The waveform looks like successive, clear strikes against a ringing object (hard start, then long and gradual fade). At other points of the waveform, it looks like stacked ovals growing in volume.

Cool stuff. This study found that mRNA COVID vaccines wake up the body’s immune response across the board, including inside cancerous tumors.

Get vaccinated!

“Kentucky’s experience since passing House Bill 5 – sometimes called the ‘SAFER Kentucky Act’ – last year shows that cracking down on public homelessness doesn’t end it. It just makes it harder to see and harder to solve.”

Been listening to new Mountain Goats “Cold at Night” and “Armies of the Lord” on back-to-back repeat for 2 weeks now but I heard Joe play “What Is The Reason For It” by David Byrne on air this morning and now a new earworm has joined the rotation.

NO KINGS rallies draw thousands in Kentucky Demonstrations were held across the country Saturday, even in the deep red state of Kentucky, where more than 60% of voters chose Donald Trump for President every year that he has been on the ticket.

29 NO KINGS rallies were held across Kentucky.

Jerry Thiedich attended the Lexington rally and held a sign that read 'I protested in 1972, Deja Vu.' Thiedich said he wanted to tell lawmakers "we want equality and good things to happen to everybody, not just the rich people."
