I was warned! I looked anyway! Now my eyeballs are forever scarred from The American Canyon

Meantime, let's also celebrate this man's outrageously great abilities and sense of style and showmanship -- and when you consider the band he was in, that's both expected and a challenge to live up to! A true star in the best of ways.

It's that time of year

if you're walking around downtown on a Saturday morning between 8:30 and 9:30 without a rolled up yoga mat on your person they fine you a hundred dollars

Saw a story where a US college is offering 90 MILLION DOLLARS! to a football coach. You have got to be fucking kidding me. Imagine the good that $$$ could do for actually educating the next generation of kids.

Seen some real bad reviews on Wicked (part the 2nd). THIS is why it shouldn't have been split into a 2-part/5-hour spectacle. First 1/2 (of the Broadway show) is the good songs. Intermission, go pee, grab a snack. Second 1/2 is VERY heavy. Grab tissues & never watch Wizard of Oz the same again.

Movie trope: microfiche. Even set in current times, everyone knows how to use it & always manage to find A clue while flipping thru.

Gun maker currently selling a gun in honor of current PotUS. In the ads, they're using the fist in the air pic from Butler, PA. I'm no marketing expert. However. Seems weird.

Week before Thanksgiving. Out & about. SOOOOOO many people have full Christmas displays up already. Don't think I've seen so much/so soon since COVID times when everyone wanted a distraction.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

This is conspiracy theory stuff. China doesn’t need to spy on baby monitors to know what Americans are doing. They can just open Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or one of the many apps that Americans use to share the kind of information that two generations ago couldn’t be waterboarded out of them.

Here's some good news on a Friday www.npr.org/2025/11/20/n...

Just the other day, FIFA announced they created a "peace prize" that will be awarded @ Kennedy center in 2 weeks. Wonder who will win 🙄 www.rawstory.com/trump-kenned...

If it's STILL illegal in the place where it was turned into a symbol of hate? MAYBE it should still be illegal here in the US. And don't even get me started on the nooses. Fucking disgraceful.

Week before a time to gather together & give thanks. Insane man in the White House saying Dem conduct (telling military to follow their conscience) "punishable by death". Totally normal behavior from an adult w/ access to nuclear codes.

A holiday all about stuffing yourself when groceries are at the highest point ever in the history of food. What a time to be alive... and have to cook.

"Full cart you got there..." - old man who shoved thru & cockblocked me from leaving the register

Gatorade style beverages sold the fuck out @ supermarket. Looks like lots of folks looking to get shit faced for Thanksgiving.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

Friend & I went to Wicked (the 1st half) last November, on opening day & there were like 2 other people there. This time, there's eleventy billion different tie-ins/action figures/cleaning products/deodorant & there's no seats left in theatre opening day. What the fuck?

Bopping along to "Material Girl" by Madonna Up to my wrists in meatball makings

Really dislike when stores ASSUME you're using their [BRAND] credit card for purchase, get confused when you say NO & then waste time (yours, theirs & growing line behind you) by offering discounts if you sign up for card TODAY!

"Let a BUSINESS guy that actually knows business help negotiate healthcare..." - a Republican Sure. Sounds like a great idea to allow the business genius who bankrupted casinos (& every other business venture he tried) be in charge of American's health 🙄

The ULTIMATE in "participation trophies"

Fall!

Reading excerpts from the book about the writer who had a "digital affair" w/ Captain Brainworms. Lots of them read like a man writing a romance novel who has no idea how boobs work.

Seriously. Go watch "Death By Lightning" (Netflix) Finished this morning completely shocked to have enjoyed a historical series SO much. The cast is fucking great. Really hope they get proper kudos come awards season. 9/10 can't wait for the sequel 😂

Obese orange man refers to lady reporter as "Piggy". So tired of this man being given pass after pass after pass for saying disgusting things.

I still have all my friends from childhood because they know too much

Abortion is supported by 3 out of 4 Mainers, but a popular network of clinics that provides it alongside primary care has been shut out of Medicaid by the Trump administration, which also targeted Planned Parenthood. n.pr/48jMkt4

You can't convince me that that this isn't a war on women. Not when miscarrying can potentially cause a longer sentence than forcibly impregnating someone against their will does.

I couldn’t stop laughing. abc7.com/post/shillin...

Ever since reading about them, I would love to construct my own poison garden. Sadly I'm in a ground floor flat with no green space of my own, and a poison window box doesn't have the same ring to it.

*quietly chants: EAT THE SOUP! EAT THE SOUP! EAT THE SOUP!* www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

Gonna set up a GFM to buy all of these paper8apparel.com/products/ori...

So we should be frank here, it seems the SBC has decided their Hispanic brothers and sisters can be fed into the woodchipper

Can't Stop Won't Stop - - - pooping

TIL the same guy who directed NIN's "Closer" video went on to direct Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off"

Well. This is a new one. Got tailgated & continuously honked at IN A FUCKING SCHOOL ZONE! for: stopping @ stop signs & letting another car pass thru in a VERY tight section of road. THEN, they flipped me off as I turned. Sorry for following traffic rules, fuck face.

Old Navy offering "90's Style Loose Fit" denim. Anyone else remember Jnco Jeans that you could house a small family of Hobbitses in?

It's not a "live action" remake if you're still using CGI animation. You're just plunking live actors into a green screen animated world. And that, friends, is what we call a cash grab.

when in doubt: movies 🧡

I've been w/ my spouse for TWENTY FIVE YEARS now. You could say we've been "intimate". However. I never want to see him floss his teeth. That's fucking gross. Save some mystery FFS.
