Just now gassing up at the Citgo for this once-in-a-lifetime trip taking my sweetie to California, I got to say bonne route to a younger guy stocking and securing his bike luggage outside the mini-mart, on his way to Montreal with little US flag out the back of his rando rack. Happy starts for all.

Anybody want a Krakauer upright #piano in perfectly playable shape? It's near Danbury. Come get it. I don't want to pay to have it hauled, so if no takers, I'll dismantle and discard it.

So that's a third option for the Great Filter Theory. We make the universe not exist in the first place.

Shaka, when the paint peeled.

Hard to argue with.

For years, I've been using a Wordpress draft to pull together little life thoughts for my boys. Unfortunately, Wordpress has a block-level glitch that erroneously and repeatedly duplicated, triplicated, and up to 30×-icated anything from a single thought up to the entire draft… 1/

The people that got out of Germany got out early. American fascism experts have already left. Do with that as you will.

The planet will be just fine once we eradicate ourselves.

Republicans: Waaaaa Biden broke it waaaaa Democrats: Then why don’t you fix it? R: D: R: waaaaaa Biden won’t let us fix it waaaaaa

Everybody take a break and enjoy something. They don't like it, have them talk to me.

I wonder how many white liberals have had an inkling that they're being unwhited, or that their clinging to civility, inertia, and "it's complicated" are efforts not to be. Guessing not many. Or hey, maybe I'm wrong, and civility, inertia, and "it's complicated" support human rights and decency.

Making stupid people feel smart, and losers feel like winners, is never an ineffective strategy.

Fat doesn't caramelize, and aging with wet stuff isn't dry aging, but I love Guga anyway.

Migraine aura. Touch-typing and watching the pretty rainbow ladders.

For #FathersDay, my one and only 100% for-sure advice for new dads: Put Velcro tape under the baby wipe box.

Cosigned, with a fuck-you and a fart in Jewish MAGA's general direction.

Shaka, when the walls fell. Trump, at G7.

People liking my posts are down to maybe three, but what's there is cherce.

I feel like @merriam-webster.com needs to know this.

A metric ton is 2204.6 lbs. A long ton is 2240 lbs. A short ton is 2000 lbs. So it makes no sense to say "a metric ton" to mean something truly massive. As tons go, it's pretty mid. However, a "fuck ton" is all that and a bag of chips, and a "shit ton" is all that, a bag of chips, AND it stinks.

RFK is a good example of why "insane" can be the right word.

Book work, hour with trainer, book meeting, shooting range, book work, make music. Antifa Day.

At this point, it's hard to say who's a sociopath, him or the worm.

I don't know that I have a favorite historian, but this guy always talks from a direction I hadn't thought of. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM6C...

Bob Odenkirk is a national treasure. Take 44 seconds and watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0rB...

Oh. Recharging the air conditioner quieted down the engine. I guess that makes sense, since it's all one belt. I'm not sure if I feel 50% embarrassed or 50% smug.

Imagine making a whole career pretending to be fearless, but when they open the door to your cage, it turns out you're pants-wetting afraid of Black people and women. #JoshHokit #UFC

Already done.

Realizing what you left out of your little coffeehouse modular case concept and singing "No delay, no delay," because I guess Beck was into Eurorack too.

Stop responding to Reps as though they're capable of intelligent, informed morality. They're not. "Good people" still trying to nice them into understanding are clueless; people trying to nice THOSE people into understanding are wasting energy. Whatever's coming is coming. R's improving isn't it.

I'll buy a crime-fighting web-slinging 30s noir detective fighting super-villains, but the part that gives me the willies, see, is the clangorous Millennial slang.

These Spurs are a great hockey team!

Relationships can't survive letting someone treat you badly. Even if they have reason, you don't deserve abuse. Plus it means abuse is encouraged to remain in the relationship. Today's mulling, prompted by long-term reflection.

Action, anger, and art leave less mental space for dread.

The appeals court just ruled the name has to come down, so the camera moved for the first time in hours to show the work truck pulling up.

Just a reminder to everyone who's not always doing it: Take the extra minute and describe the image you're posting in the "alt text" field. It's the only way people with print disabilities can know what's in the image.

For good reason.

It's hard to fathom how deeply evil this is, and that we have people running our country who get sick pleasure from sending women fleeing violence in Iran to an African country in the middle of a brutal civil war.

Know how some people (white, Christian, American) accuse Jews of "split loyalty?" That is, Jews can't be true Americans because they're more loyal to their religion than to the US? Please ponder White Christian Nationalism. Every accusation is a confession. I'm waiting for the baby eaters next.

It's not that I know Platner is or isn't telling the truth about his Nazi tattoo. It's that a whole lot of white people supposedly on my side are falling all over themselves to loudly back a white man with a Nazi tattoo.

Let's see string samples do this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=puZC...

Home car repair because I'm trying to save money. AutoZone delivery because I'm not trying THAT hard to save money.

I've got the coolest stuff coming out of Beepboop, plus a bunch more cables, plus a couple small tubs of gear that's been in the car since we were turned back from the Canadian border yesterday—but do I have the little piece I need for recording so the cool sounds aren't lost forever? Of course not.
