I'm sorry... I don't have time for that.

Figma is down... so that's pretty cool, I guess.

Generally don’t love painted pumpkins, but I’ll allow it

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

I dunno man…I’ve been called a β€œdemoncrat” for the last 8 years, even though I have no party affiliation. Not just dehumanizing, but specifically something evil.

Johnson is a fascist who hates democracy.

I've had to explain both "Groypers" and "Gooners" to people this week, and I'm not sure which I feel worse about.

Anyway, don't google either one. You're better off.

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

Just released another reference pack with 400 photos from chemparks, fabrication and chemical processing, cooling and industrial towers, fluid storage, chimeys and gantries, processing and treating facilities. Find it in my bio and on Artstation.

The craziest thing about this Cracker Barrel story is that Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for decades and publicly admitted to trafficking young women to him out of Maralago.

I'm old enough to remember when Evangelicalsβ„’ were certain that KISS meant "Knights in Satan's Service." Are those same Evengelicalsβ„’ on board with KISS being hand-picked by their Second Cumming to be 2025 Kennedy Center Honorees?

these are the thoughts that wander into my mind.

My parents raised me following the wisdom of Dr. Spock (not to be confused with the logical Vulcan from Star Trek) and Dr. James Dobson. Both of them kinda sucked. Anyway, James Dobson just died, and that doesn't make up for the damage he did.

I would like it if things would not suck for just a little while. Can that be arranged? I'll pay extra.

I know enough about the Labubu phenomenon to understand what it’s all about (remember Beanie Babies?…not that different) but I have managed to never see one either in person or online, so I can only imagine what this fetish looks like

Good news! I finally killed that fly that's been vexing me all day. Bad news! I took a sip of wine and thought I got a piece of cork in my mouth. I took the piece of cork out and discovered that it was a fly.

and now can barely walk and am in more pain than I’ve felt in a long time. I had a lot of things planned to do today, and none of it will get done. Hopefully I’ll be closer to normal tomorrow. Anyway, I hope you weren’t expecting anything from me today. It’s not happening.

After a 2.5 mi walk this morning, which featured only the normal amount of pain, I cleaned out a car and must have twisted myself in a funny way because my back started hurting in a way it hasn’t for a while. I tried to stretch it out, and only managed to make it worse…

not a spoiler, but if you're watching a certain Superhero movie, i hope you aren't as bothered by how daylight works on different hemispheresas I am. This is my main beef. I can belive a man can fly, but the planet is round. it MUST be.

still liked it, though.

It's a beautiful-to-look-at play: amazing choreography (especially for a non-musical), animal puppets were fantastic, the lighting was superb, and the set was excellent.

The story left me underwhelmed.

Wife suggested it would have been better as a ballet. I couldn't agree more.

Saw the touring company of the Life of Pi stage production yesterday. I've never read the book/watched the film. I had no idea what to expect, other than I knew the lead ends up on a boat with a tiger.

At the Elvis Costello Radio Soul tour show. Saw a guy wearing an EC β€œThis Year’s Model” t-shirt. He was definitely not this years’s model. None of us here are.

This Is Spinal Tap holds up 40 years later, and was fun to see on the big screen for the first time.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.
