one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

“So, what’s your take?”

There’s a lot of ways to get rid of toxic relationships according to your therapist, but none of them are quite as fun as just becoming May Queen at a Scandinavian seasonal event like Ballard’s 17th of May Norwegian Independence Day celebration, aka Syttende Mai: tinyurl.com/3emfumab

I recently bought a 4k UHD copy of Ghost in the Shell, but it doesn’t hit the same without KMFDM blasting when you hit play.

"I was almost was the new James Bond. True story. They were replacing Roger Moore, and the producers called ME. Wrong number, y'know. But I appreciated the call." (1 of 8)

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have on your roll

Did anyone else watch Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn back in 2002? I loved that show at the time in how it handled politics and the Iraq War. But I’m guessing it veered more libertarian than I understood at the time.

If a spouse does a bunch of lawn work and the other spouse doesn’t notice, did it even happen?

Weekend browsing. In an effort to keep my brain off the internet as much as possible I keep a bunch of old favourites within arms reach 🚀

I randomly saw this advertised in the back of another IDW book. “Cozy horror” I had to pick it up. It is THE most disturbing, fresh book I’ve read in years. Richard Scarry meets Dexter. The contrast is so perfectly grotesque. I have 2 more chapters to go, plus the sequel. Very excited to read.

My kids were watching some YouTuber bottle flip kid and I decided to show them America’s Funniest Home Videos. I realized there’s a fairly direct correlation line between Bob Saget and Charli D'Amelio.

Wait, why is “Tall Tales” specifically shorter than all the others?

Lately I’m seeing more real change happening due to Needling articles than any national late night show, Daily Show, or SNL combined. Local ̶p̶o̶l̶i̶t̶i̶c̶s̶ ̶ jokes matter.

Sigh. So close.

First up: CM Rinck @councilmember-amr.bsky.social: "Graham Street Station is estimated to cost $175-200M in a $34 billion program budget shortfall. That is 0.5% of the gap, South Seattle has been asked to sacrifice for our transit system for long enough." www.theurbanist.org/southend-adv...

A very fun commission - Wolverine wreaking havoc prophet-style on a gaggle of intelligent aliens (in this case, giant spiders, one of whom has an air rifle)

When bluesky doesn't like my posts

Our two single cup pour overs are in the dishwasher which is running. My brain instantly went to “oh no! How am I going to make coffee!” when we have a chemex, Mr. coffee, espresso machine, French press, aeropress, and cold brew ready in the fridge.

I was so excited to read a movie prequel comic that had a ton of buzz recently, but the art is obviously traced Poser renderings. So disappointing and hard to get through.

I hope Harrell’s head hits the roof every time.

I was weak and watched through some videos and now my tiktok algo is filled with confrontations with cops and entitled neighbors.

Local elections matter.

A new Mexican restaurant opened a block from us, and I’m torn between wanting to give it a great review to help vitalize the neighborhood, and it only being like 3 stars good.

To give myself something to do in Minecraft while my kids play, I decided to start building a thing.

I feel like the Dino Riders / Toy Story connection isn’t referenced enough.

Ordered based on me seeing the title and thinking it was some clever double entendre and then seeing the cover and… …nope it’s a Junk Punch.

Oh my god ban all the subsidies for cars on city streets already.

We introduced the kids to Don Hertzfeld’s Rejected. “My anus is bleeding!” Little 5yo voice: “Why are they happy about that!?!?” So funny.

This is awesome.

Apparently bison in Yellowstone fall down embankments enough there are compilation videos of it. It’s not *not* funny.

I have been *obsessed* with this game the last couple weeks.

I can’t believe my suspicions that the weak pushback the industry gave gamergate partially led to Trump’s success turned out to be true with its ties to Epstien, Steve Bannon, and Peter Thiel.

At what rate of daily gas price increase does it make more sense to top of daily than it is to wait and get a full tank, if any?

I had a dream I found a giant stash of Starcom toys at a second-hand store. A lot of ships I don’t have. Unfortunately they had priced them at what they were worth.

We started Daredevil Born Again s2. It’s funny that Daredevil is going up against the Mayor of NYC, meanwhile the real mayor of NYC looks like Daredevil.

“I mostly wake up sore…mostly”

I hope ya’ll have been practicing your TikTok dances. We’re about to go again.

NIMBYs when a city tries to install a bike lane: "You can't do that! What about emergency response?!?!?" NIMBYs when a city tries to take parking to improve emergency response: "You can't do that!"

I love temporal overlaps, and other strange time trivia (ex: Beatles were only a group for ~7 years.) A new one I realized recently: America has been a country for 12% of the time since Jesus’ death.

I edged the grass along the sidewalk in front of my house today for the first time in 3-4 years, which means now when I walk through the neighborhood I’m judging other people’s sidewalk lines.

We almost had it with Mandalorian, but they had to mess with it.

I have a new coworking office partner.

Happy Star Wars Day!

The kids are playing Beyblade. But they don’t have their beyblades out. They’re kneeling on the tumbling mat and counting down “three two one…let it rip!” then spinning on their hands and knees and crashing into each other.

So when things get too tough (Get too tough) And your chin is dragging on the ground (Dragging on the ground) And even down looks up (Down looks up) Bad luck (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha) We can show you a good time (Show you a good time) And we don't charge nothin' (Nothin' at all)

Holy Morbin’ reference, Batman!

It’s the beginning of May and it’s 80° out. This doesn’t happen until July 5th in Seattle. We’re screwed.

I forgot all about Crackdown until now when I confused it with Bionic Commando. I collected SO many orbs. Maybe all the orbs.

I’ve battled horsetails in the yard for 8 yrs. I finally saw progress last year, with only a few to take care of. This year they’re back in force. They usually get a big spray down of vinegar, but now I’m trying pulling their frondy tops off & dripping vinegar down their plant gullets.
