The Beatles and The Stones and Zeppelin and The Beach Boys and The Who are all wonderful but when you reach the age of 56 you realize it was The Byrds and The Kinks all along. Happy birthday to me.

In the US, liberals say that about the conservatives, and conservatives say the same thing back about liberals. Just stick around long enough and you'll see the bounceback.

Godzilla devours a roasted turkey with apple pie and washes it all down with a beer.

Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I learned this morning that the parade wouldn't be broadcast by CBS. I always liked their coverage better, since it was just a camera pointed down 52nd street and had more a feel of what a spectator on the street would see.

It spelled "underwear" in Spanish.

Depends: cold or hot?

Back atcha!

When you ask Microsoft Copilot about mending fences with a right-winger, it mentions @mnemonic.bsky.social Godwin's Law.

This morning's moon. One day past full, you can begin to see shadows on the crater walls near the terminator.

You're growing towards it.

It's funny that if Bluesky ever does take off, Jack Dorsey will go down as the undisputed king of microblogging platforms and he will have absolutely no idea what makes any of this good or why anyone uses this. It'd be like if the inventor of the dishwasher was a dalmatian.

Bruce, in the name of all that is good and sane, stop this madness!

Trump’s goal is clear: Delay the trials until after the election, pull off an upset, then use the power of the White House to shut down the prosecutions or even pardon himself. We the voters must do our part to keep him from power.

@bruces.bsky.social I'm glad you're here.

Here's something for the cat lovers and the A.I. artists. A cat drawn by Bing Chat.

Looks like the artist had some time to draw the Flag and the seal with some detail, then roughed in the body of Trump and the court reporter, then sketched like mad to get everything else in while he could still remember it all at the moment of the plea. Good courtroom drawing.

@maggieknapp.bsky.social Think about it.
