something funny i have noticed post-cancer. I've got a straw gardening hat that i've been wearing for years, since 2012. it was a perfect fit, and after years of sweat and sun it was totally conformed to my head.

I love that 50+ years later I learn that the great jazz guitarist Joe Negri was also Handyman Negri on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" I hate that I only learned this at his passing, but what a long and wonderful life!

I like this guy's bonsai channel but every time I watch one of his vids I wanna shoot darts with the guy

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

it's 9:30 p.m. on a Sunday evening and I can hear the ice cream truck down the street. That's just wrong.

Does anyone else ever get tired of scrolling on their laptop, so you shut it down and pick up your phone? Just me? Quit lying.

In other news I am getting my bonsai zone organized, after repeated rounds of negotiation with the landlord. The compost bin was a big effort. It's about as rat-proofed as a city bin can be.

I've discovered This One Weird Trick to quit binging a series that Just Isn't That Good. Skip straight to the last episode and watch that. After you've determined that the final episode isn't very good, either, there's no desire to go back and fill in what you've missed.

I’m gonna accomplish so much next week.

not that i'm trying to brag, but i've spent the entire day sleeping or napping, alternating between my bed and the couch. i did make one foray to pick up a pizza to save twenty bucks on delivery. chalk it up to my ever changing meds, too much work in the sun, and a brother who is bottoming out hard

This may seem like a flippant shitpost but he's absolutely correct and it's visible at every income level and style of dress.

Being an American during the 250th Aniversary of the United States feels a lot like if the terrorists in Die Hard demanded that the hostages continue having their Christmas party.

I just wanna get high and talk about plaaaaaaants, man..

The Be Sharps have withdrawn from the Freedom 250 celebration

I have been watching the 1983 two part V miniseries and the 2009 reboot. They're each dated in their own ways but the original series is far more relevant today.

You think they give a damn about their bills in Russia?

This is how you rat proof a compost bin, or at least it's one way of doing it. I needed to build a deck on account of the concrete curb. Alt text progress and completion shots of a black plastic Darth Vader compost bin fastener to a simple wooden platform.

Daily bunny no.3329 is on the pavement, thinking 'bout the government

Today was absolutely lousy

Presidential assassination attempts that didn’t get close happened in the past too, but you heard about them less because previous presidents all thought strength was shrugging “you can’t phase me, nothing can,” while this president thinks strength is whining “I’m such a victim, soothe my feelings.”

I spent a glorious twenty minutes or so (at least four songs on 94.7) messing around with a delivery clanker. I was pulling into a driveway and I stopped blocking the bot's path, creeping forward and jerking backward and confusing the damn thing. I really only gave up because I finished my yeti.
