Saved up "Island of the Sequined Love Nun" by @theauthorguy.bsky.social, to read until I needed it. Reckon this week qualifies.

I bought a new guitar today. I don't really need one, but I wanted something with humbuckers and a Bigsby tremolo. Stayed up late to play it, not because I need to, but because I wanted to. And it turns out that Rock and Roll is actually the fountain of youth ... i don't feel a day over 55.

Here's one thing about Colorado; I love seeing leftover snow in June.

I try not to Doomscroll on the weekends. Today the better 2/3rds and I are watching Women's Elites Professional Rugby ... while we still can. Go Onyx.

(Reads posts--excoriating Donald Trump's trying to tariff penguins as futile--with incredulity):

Omg

I appreciate the instinct to primary Schumer, but he doesn't come up until '28. We'll be a Russian province by then.

Orkney Library & Archive is a library AND an archive but did you know about the miniature library that is stored IN the archive? Read on to find out more about the incredible Minervian Library, created by a group of young children in #Orkney more than 160 years ago.

I need a break from the relentless onslaught of the news, I need something a bit more cheerful. I'm thinking "Heretic"?

Did not have "insufficiently cynical about 99% of all Republicans" on my Bingo card, but here we all are. I generally try not to think about politics on Sunday Funday, so here's a picture of my second favorite dog with her toy Wooly Mammoth

After that unbelievable s*** show last night (which I didn't even watch) I'm officially declaring "Rex Manning Day" 34 days early.

If there *are* any principled Republicans I bet they feel almost as nauseous as I do.

Sheryl Crow sold her Swasticar and donated the proceeds to NPR? Legend.

Still a week until the 6 Nations? Shoot.

Now that I am re-employed and not looking at the news all day; it occurs to me, that a long time ago when I was young, and everything sucked: Black Flag seemed to help. Might be worth a shot?

Your Daily Affirmation: On this day when the Hellmouth has opened and unlimited fuckery is released into the world, I remain detached and cheerful, attentive only to those people close to me (and waffles) but willing to let everything that doesn't affect me directly fuck all the way off.

As 2025 begins, so does the year’s first full moon, which also marks the last of four consecutive supermoons, according to NASA. Known as the “wolf moon,” it gets its name from the idea that wolves howl during January’s long, cold nights.

Wanna cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese!

If you're not listening to the Dead Kennedys when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not listening to the Dead Kennedys by the time you're 35, you have no brain.

Bliadna mhath ùr!

Instant nostalgia machine.

Your Daily Affirmation: I am immune to becoming a dick weed. Thoughtless, stupid, and inconsiderate behavior by people in power does not infect me. I maintain my kindness, consideration, and thoughtfulness, allowing the hateful and the stupid to just fuck all the way off.

Me, holding Bug's leash--left the cone on, natch--in the guitar store. Employee, approaching cautiously ... "Um, Sir? ... Me, solicitously: "Yes?" Employee, apologetically: "Um, we don't allow animals in the facility ..."

I completely understand I got here a little late; I signed up 8th, I get it you don't have time for me to play and ... Well, of course the broncos are on tv, which is weird, for a Thursday but ...

Man Says ‘Fuck It,’ Eats Lunch At 10:58 A.M. theonion.com/man-says-fuc...

Like ... I guess the burgeoning popularity of Bluesky means I have to be careful about following people back; but the 'bots asking me to prove I'm not a 'bot kind of seems like an opportunity. If I wanted to mess with a Turing Pest's "head", how would I? 🤔

The best thing about not having been to open mic. night in more than a year is that you actually get a little bit ... apprehensive.

Not weird, then.

Is it weird that I have seven new best friends who want to have weird, tone deaf conversations?

Bought a(n) ... ahem; "sound system" to take to college in 1986. The first six albums or EPS I bought were all by Big Country. Soundstory reminded me today about Stuart Adamson, R.I.P.

Remembering the late, great #StuartAdamson who passed away on this date in 2001. Gone, but never forgotten
