Me watching a documentary about psychopaths and how they "prefer to stay at home, don't have many friends and can get very upset over a minor inconvenience"

#FumettiFriday Tales from the Chamber of Commerce, Pt. 763.

Gave my old Vox Pacemaker a bigger speaker (trust me) and a DIY make-over.

Calling Social Security an “entitlement” is how corrupt Republicans erase the fact that you EARNED it. This isn’t charity; it’s insurance you paid for in every paycheck so you can retire with dignity. Change the language, change the politics: earned benefits, not handouts. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Anyone who can fold a fitted sheet *at all* is tapping into some next-level powers that us mere mortals can only wonder at. (Myself, I just wash it and put it back on until it wears out.)

I’m fighting to protect our planet and bring down costs. I just introduced a set of bills to stand up to Trump’s climate-killing energy policies, support affordable clean energy, and help lower energy costs for everyday Americans.

#FumettiFriday Sorry it's so late. We've been having a Dickens of a time squeezing in all these literary references ...

I don't know why Trump is a Knicks fan. The Spurs are what kept him out of 'Nam.

@gnomonchronicles.bsky.social I sure hope they do a sequel to "Barbie," but with a supernatural plotline: "Bell, Book & Ken Doll."

#FumettiFriday Here's a better idea: I'll just bring your room down to the luggage.

@romanpiso.bsky.social If you crave evangelical zeal Look no further than young Peter Thiel Since he's read Revelation (In the King James translation) He just knows that ol' Antichrist's real!

#FumettiFriday You just can't beat noir ...

It takes a long time and a lot of work by smart and honest people to build. Stupid and crooked people can smash stuff real fast.

Anyone proud of living rent free inside my head clearly hasn't experienced the luxury of a dumpster

no data center on Earth is worth the bees, water, and trees.

#FumettiFriday In retrospect, "You pays your money, you takes your chances" wasn't the best slogan for a day spa ...

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life.

#FumettiFriday where the past is prelude, and the future is unwritten. And you might as well forget about the present, because I didn't get you one.

Did you know that if you hold your ear up to a stranger's leg you can actually hear them say "What the fuck are you doing?

Like that time I planned to join Procrastinators Anonymous but the day just got away from me ...

Teddy Roosevelt brought the wealthy oligarchs of the Gilded Age to heel. A generation later, his cousin, Franklin created the modern middle class. That was when America became great, and it will not be great again until we get leaders who can bobble our oligarchs and resurrect our middle class.

Someone with mad graphics skills needs to superimpose the rowboat guy from those 70s Ty-D-Bol ads onto Trump's crappy blue reflecting pool ...

I was to young to protest in the Vietnam War. My brother did two tours and thankfully came home. When will we stop starting wars in other countries? Never,because our government makes money for the Industrial Compex. We're always just one War away for a payoff.

#FumettiFriday, the day your past catches up with you.

[Shakespeare meets with his editor] Ed: Billy-boy, I had to make a few cuts on that last batch of sonnets. Shakespeare: Red-pencil-wielding wretch! From leagues afar didst I espy thy advance. But the surgeries you speak of removed only the deadest of weight. Those were but sacrificial iambs.

Everyone talks about the "madness of crowds," but it's never more evident than when that one forgetful neighbor puts out their recycling wheelie bin on the wrong week, and nearly everyone else on the street follows suit.

@actualnames.bsky.social Today I keyed in an old (1922) Circuit Court record for a guy they named "Isaac Hunt." Parents, don't do this.

#FumettiFriday where low-hanging fruit is our raison d'être.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna ask the band if we should add the occasional oldie to our repertoire, like "RICO Laws They Are Breakin' Up That Old Gang of Mine."

My coffee shop was out of ice so they gave me 16 ounces of undiluted cold brew and now my skin can feel sounds

Happy Walpurgisnacht to all who celebrate. Only 184 shopping days 'til Hallowe'en.

@garybutler.bsky.social [My mom in a music store, ca. 1973] Clerk: Need something for the musician in the family? Mom: Not exactly. My son just needs a set of guitar strings. Clerk: Well, a guitar *is* a musical instrument ... Mom: Not the way *he* plays it.

Trump Discusses his Diet on “60 Seconds”

Random thought: I bet 'Do not touch' is a scary thing to read in Braille.

There has to be a long compound word in German for the delicate art of splitting the "lean" of one's album collection for a tastefully curated display.

If we don’t see it on a $250 commemorative coin in a few days it never happened

That reminds me: the thing they don't tell you about retirement is you have to buy your own office supplies.
