Join host Paul McGann is all I needed to hear.

I suffer from a surplus of self confidence, but this elusive Notion formula is making me doubt everything I ever thought I knew. What if I *can't* do it?

Getting out of the business of working on cruise ships just before covid and MAGA is the ninth best thing I've ever done.

I'm reaching out to my f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶s̶ fellow dissidents more frequently these days because everyone needs a little check in every now and again.

Charlie Chaplin Made Adolf Hitler Cry

In an absurdly overdramatic twist of fate, I had a hysterectomy a few days ago. A lil inaugural present to myself.

Why does he capitalize so many words unnecessarily?

Been listening to far too many election postmortems and am now on the hunt for the lowest possible stakes podcast out there. Any suggestions?

I hope a bird poops on Josh Hawley today

Scaramucci's explanation of why the vote went the way it did on The Rest is Politics last Thursday is excellent and empathetic, and though I will never understand, it helped.

Growing up, my Dad was amused that we were all scared of that big clanking furnace in the basement, so he painted a giant monster face on it. God, I miss him.

Many bothans died to bring us this pee tape

I "exported my Twitter file" but it was pretty much a blank PDF which . . . I didn't have THAT many followers but I'm not an ageless blank void. I had at LEAST one post that cracked 10 likes so I'll not be having any of your nonsense, Musk.

Feels like the only good billionaires are women because they are just Brewster's Millionszing while the men are less attractive Scrooge McDuffs.

I mean, the quality here is just outstanding.

I'm leaning into the French resistance red lip and it seems my dog is onboard.

1 week down, 208 to go.

Should I be stocking up on beans and root veggies? Has this election turned me into a prepper?

My posting may be chaotic today but my pantry cabinet is here to reassure me I have no part of my life together and haven't for some time

My, this site does have a "the drunk, rude, uninvited guests were just yeeted out the door" vibe doesn't it?

I doff my cap to you, sir.

Can't believe there's about a 64% chance I'll never see his name on another ballot.

I suppose there will come a day when I do not read bsky as bakery but today is not that daynish.

I'm new here so I feel the need to post a lot right now about various topics so you all can see what you're in for. So instead of that I'll give you a linear word cloud of my usual topics: dog, sandwiches, cats, tea, books, indoorsmanship, Harris/Walz, whitmer, doctor who, Taylor, kidlit, soup.

I don't even think The Doctor could step in here because it's giving very Fixed Point in Time

Ooh ooh for our liberal Joe Rogan pod can we get Seth Rogen smoking pot with politicians, talkin' policy, and mercilessly mocking maga? We could call it wake & bake or woke & toke or hash it out or reeferendum or the Seth Rogen experience

I'm going to do a sort of cross post hopscotch between Threads and Bluesky and see which one fills the vast void of insecurity better
