you're the main reason to keep on going

Frankenstein 2025, or, Childhood Emotional Neglect: the Movie (it looks amazing and I am very much looking forward to watching it; GDT is one of my favorite storytellers)

Michael Schaubach should be interviewed about a million more times than he has been. He GETS it, and he knows how to talk about it, and people on both sides of the paywall need to hear what he has to say.

Oh good, I was hoping he would have a response to this bullshit.

My FIRST thought when I saw the trailer was, "I hope Danielle is involved!"

You know what's really fucking weird to me?

People talking about the Cold War like it's over.

Sure, Russia's not communist anymore, and China isn't really either.

But the idea that the US, Russia, and China ever stopped engaging in brinksmanship and proxy conflicts is just...

on what planet?

When "everybody knows" That One Guy was toxic and bad and everything was his fault, but then you look for yourself and see gaslighting, bullying, and blatant double standards.

I do need to know where @danielleradford.bsky.social got pretty much all the clothing we see her wear on Misfits & Magic season 2 because it's wonderful and I need some new outfits.

There are millions of folks who were too young in 2016 to remember how we got through this the last time. They are going to need our support, guidance, and leadership. When you can, let that inspire you.

Grandma got run over by the Hangman
Flying to Fabian's house, Election Eve
Now you can say the party was deception
But as for me and Gorgug, we believe

Enjoy the warm weather, y'all. I will do my best to not complain about it for the next 5-6 months.

I lack the vocabulary to explain myself properly, but I am pretty sure that there are enough musical similarities between "Piano Man" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" that they could be mixed together really well.

My 2009 Legacy is at that age where all the stuff that could wear out, is wearing out. Still handles snow better than any other car I've ever been in. I'mma keep on maintaining it till the wheels fall off.

Hyperspecialization for any feature other than sturdiness invariably comes with reduced sturdiness.
I love horses, but good gravy they are a mess.

Wouldn't it be nice if, in addition to bed type, bath tub type was a standard hotel booking option? I could really go for a 6' x 3' x 2' soaking tub right about now.

If your hobby doesn't do the thing for you that you need it to do, it's probably time to pause and reflect. For me personally, if it stresses me out it's not fun, and if it's not fun I'm not spending my limited money and free time on it. Your mileage may vary and is allowed to.

The nihilist says, "Life is inherently meaningless, so there is no reason to bother."
The existentialist says, "Life is inherently meaningless, but I can invent my own meaning, and that is enough for me."

$10.2 billion.

That is the projected amount that will be spent on political advertising during the 2024 election.

This would make it the most expensive election in history.

Good god, do we need to overturn Citizens United.

I copied a bunch of posts over from some other social media, so my profile displays a bit of who I am.

Teach your kids early: it's okay to be weird.

Isabella of France, or: If Your Wife Is Your Chief Strategist, Don't Screw Her Over

A luxury unused is wasted. Use the good plates. Drink the celebration wine. Eat that chocolate before it blooms.

Some people get that you need to put self-care first, right up until you put your own needs above their wants.

Hotter and hotter peppers are a thing, with capsaicin now measured in millions of Scoville units. But what about mint? Menthol is to cold as capsaicin is to heat, so where are the weirdo cult-like coldest mint people? Where are the wild varieties of icy herbs?

Too much power depends on never admitting that the status quo can be disrupted.

REGULATE, reduce, reuse, recycle. In that order.

Oh, hey. I made it!
