Just watched: SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1951) There were tears pouring down my cheeks watching Gene Kelly dancing in the title number. Sheer joy in movement. Just beautiful.

Cat Checkpoint.

Drop someone with DARK HAIR 🖤

A little animation to illustrate what's really going on here...

Down with The Odyssey... Homer should've driven an AMERICAN minivan! (Anybody pointing out that Homer was blind: I live in NJ. Blind drivers in minivans are common here.)

If you were a video game character, what would your health pickup be?

Invert a band The People of Color (The Police)

Add a state to a movie... The French Connecticut

"Oh, hey, good news about that little hantavirus issue... It may not be a problem after Monday!"

ME: (quickly hiding Richard Laymon paperback behind back) "Uhh, yeah! What he said!"

I wrote a little verse about this...

And it's this one: We Are (Clearly Not) the Master Race (Dead Milkmen) m.youtube.com/watch?v=l1CI...

So... what do I do with a Thucydides once I've caught it?

BREAKING: RFK, Jr. announces the official US response to the threat of hantavirus: Lick A Mouse.

Was the Roblox Movie directed by Stanley Cube-Brick?

When Bluesky doesn't like my posts

Share your face for the week! 🖤

Name a song with girl in the title but replace with squirrel: I Kissed a Squirrel (and I Liked It)

QRP with the doctor you'd trust leading the hantavirus response instead of RFK Jr.

More health threats: SANTAVIRUS -- fever makes you shake like a bowlful of jelly. Spread by reindeer droppings. You probably got it from your parents, though they deny this. PANTOVIRUS -- a disease that's spread via airborne droplets. OH NO IT'S NOT. Oh yes it is. OH NO IT'S NOT. Oh yes it is.

Other health threats on the horizon: HANTUVIRUS -- Turns you into a penanggalan, a supernatural creature from the Malay peninsula. Your head & entrails detach from your body and fly around looking for babies to eat. cf. Pam Bondi. FANTAVIRUS -- Turns you orange and gross. Uh-oh: it's already here.

Violets are blue Roses are red I've had too much to drink: I'll...

Because evidently I am eight:

Post a character that starts with the letter Y (First or Last) YONGARY! Monster from the Deep

People who want AI girlfriends will soon see the error of their ways, the first time a computer virus becomes a venereal disease. Trust me, you don't want a worm. And in this case, a Trojan *really* won't help...

Proof, if any was needed, that it's not just socks that are his natural prey:

I recently downloaded a foreign language dictionary from archive dot org: when I want to learn a language, I find it helpful to have a dictionary in that language. Even if I can't read it without help, it's good for gaining context. This book was MISSING AN ENTIRE LETTER. Not skipped. Never there.

May the fifth be with you.

Slightly diminish a book. Penniless Pennyby (I may have done this one before, so how about:) The Pickwick AI Summary

Your Vice is a Locked Mandalorian and Only I Have the Helmet! and Grogu

A tip: please don't tax the patience of patient people. Some of us are patient only because we know from experience how difficult it is to get rid of a body. Hashtag TMYK. 🙂

Today's T-shirt, courtesy of @saintplanthony.bsky.social and the Gay Plant Store. I got a surprising number of positive comments for such a MAGA area as this is. 😃👍

My wife's annual experiment in neighborhood socialism: big plant giveaway! Take what you need, give what you can. (This was late in the day, when we had few plants left.)

Our local library branch closes today. It's moving from the center of the old town to a new building that's virtually impossible for most residents to walk to. If you want to borrow a book or a movie you have to drive there... oh, but not for a couple of months while they move. Great timing, guys.

I'm going to start referring to That Guy's brain as the Strait of Warm Ooze. And it, too, is blocked.
