he/him. I was c_davies on the bird app; an odd little man with a British accent everywhere else. Cat-lover; Michigan-resider; SlashGear writer; car geek; ๐ŸŒˆ I do not 'like' skeets; it's nothing personal it just gives me anxiety.

Just ordered some dense rubber extrusions. I will not be taking questions at this time.

I get that a lot, Brett, I get that a lot. Well, the "you've saddened me" part, anyway.

This is just efficiency at work, Dom - now I only need one post to encompass all the world's ridiculousness!

Just heard the news and I'm disgusted. It's truly disgusting. Can't believe it has come to this. Wow.

Generally outrageous.

Victoria if they got rid of capitalism what would they do with the big bell they ring at the stock exchange every morning? They already paid for that bell. It'd be a crime to waste it, a beautiful bell like that. Be reasonable, Victoria, and think of the incredible bell that capitalism bought.

I think there's a desire to have The Candidate today and begin campaigning now, and the hunger to do so involves ignoring genuine criticisms and pretending that people will hold their nose and vote for Newsom. And I think that's a dangerous assumption, tbh.

I don't believe it's true that he's the only one either willing or capable, and I also think some of his efforts to remain prominent over the past months have been misguided or just plain wrong. I also think Dem strategists are blinkered if they think people will "get over" their issues with him.

It's fascinating seeing the continuing reaction to people saying "No, we won't vote for Gavin Newsom, he's a terrible pick*" being "Yes, but Gavin Newsom, though, right? ๐Ÿ˜‰" from certain (vocal) quarters.

*which is, to be clear, a sentiment I agree with

We put "bark butter" suet out for the birds in the winter; it has chili in it to dissuade squirrels and other mammals from eating it, and every time I just want to shove a huge handful into my mouth. So far I have resisted.

They closed the airspace above El Paso because the Big Goose was back, but they knew you'd panic if they told you. The public isn't ready to know about the Big Goose.

You must've made the mistake of showing it how much you wanted to hit publish. The computer knows, and it punishes.

I hate it when the CMS "forgot your password" email takes forever to arrive.

The lingering shot of "man on his phone while woman bobs unenthusiastically next to him" *was* pretty satisfying, I guess. Okay, I forgive you.

You have it the wrong way around. TVs grew plump and bloated on the Negative Vibes emitted by violent crime. That's what the bunny ear antennas were for.

They have gin already in them! Though the last KLM flight I was on, cabin crew strongly suggested not actually drinking it; apparently "free trapped-in-a-ceramic-house gin" is not the best quality.

It is too soon to lose Catherine O'Hara, and I may simply refuse to believe it.

I don't know if you're like me, but I get overwhelmed with this sense of "I know I can't help everyone, so where the hell do I start?"

Five bucks a day to turn down the volume on that sense of being powerless, even if it's just a fraction, feels like a good deal to me.

When you're next furious that MN kids are going hungry, well, there's a fund for that; & when you're livid that brave observers may struggle with rent, there's one for that; & when you're heartbroken about pets being left behind when their owners are kidnapped, well, there's a fund for that, too.

Who is allowed to speak out? You don't need to be an expert when things are this broken. I've always lived under the assumption that I'm wrong. That there is some piece of information I'm missing that won't just make me look stu...

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

We have at least two, I think one is a juvenile. There is something oddly charming about them.
