I haven't been paying attention, did we ever figure out where Cotton Eye Joe came from?

I have mixed feelings about whoever slipped the weekly world news into his press briefings. I know he doesn't read the articles, but clearly the headlines are enough for the guy.

I'm sorry for yours, and the community's, loss.

Today I learned that the People's Temple cult (led by Jim Jones) actually drank grape Flavor Aid, not Kool-aid as commonly believed.

I'm going to start saying "drank the Flavor Aid" to be historically accurate.

Cat is good people, and it's a shitty situation. If you're in a position to help, please consider it

I have a shot to achieve my lifelong goal. The one thing that's really mattered for the past several decades.

I get to try out to be a contributing reporter for the Weekly World News.

I've never been so excited and so nervous.

During a @safeescape.org meeting, I reminded the team that we are not legally required to report immigration status for anyone we're helping. And we sure as hell don't do it voluntarily either.

One said, "didn't occur to me to ask, but I wouldn't anyway."

I'm sitting here, very proud of them.

Nine inch nails performing on stage

Trent Reznor, the man I am currently watching tear up the stage and electrify a crowd is 60 years old.

I got winded walking up the stairs to the venue.

I need to be more like Trent.

Update: she has made a selection

Itchy, the proud wookie chieftain, watching porn in the living room using a futuristic device

We're at the scene where Chewbacca's father watches porn in the living room.

This is canon.

Thanks for being part of my family's long-standing family tradition! It's not Christmas until Chewie [spoiler] makes it home for life day!

My son just blew my mind. He pointed out that this was the only main character that had immediate family left. The lack of subtitles was a... Choice. But maybe choksing Chewbacca's family was the one that made the most sense at the time?

Scene from the Star Wars Holiday Special

It's time. Not all traditions are easy.

Merry Christmas!

Fun fact: Peter Mahew spoke his lines in English; they dubbed in the wookie language in post production.

I was looking for a gift for a young locksporter and... I guess I was way off.

"free viral ice cream" with a picture of something that I guess is ice cream.

Okay, but did they have to phrase it that way?

Elf makeup on a shelf

I really don't see the big deal. I don't think they even moved last night.

A payphone

Radical 90s clear phone

Why did we get away from see-through electronics, anyway? That was literally my first landline, which I bought with money from my paper route.

That's a very old fashioned sentence.

The natural history museum just called me old 82 times

I'm most pleased with the outcome of this sporting contest, and will claim the players' win as my own accomplishment ❤️

Every Friday for %DayJob% we have to update our status slides with what we did and what we're working on, then post in Teams. I started doing that in memes, overly-formal verbiage, and other ways. Others followed and a war began Fine. I give you "No More Bullets Left to Point" by "clips and bad AI"

I feel humbled

It's a good thing the piano man went around calling himself Billy Joel. Bill Joel doesn't sound quite right.

I should clarify that she is a cat. Just to avoid confusion.

I bought my officemate a new bed thinking she'd like it. She didn't ask for it, just trying to be nice. Of course I caught her sleeping on the floor next to it. Wtf.

We had a conversation about it and she seems willing to give it a try.

Breaking my unintended social media hiatus to remind everyone that the off-Broadway hits Nunsense 1 and 2 soundtracks kinda rock.
