My wife just got her flu and covid vaccines. If I make out with her nonstop for the next three days, will I still need my shots?

Beat this, baby.

It's Bandcamp Friday overmorrow. Here are some things I'm considering buying. Starting with what might be the most fun five tracks on the market?

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Now I know how to say "I know" in Yugoslavian.

I'm gonna have to start listening more closely to how students pronounce my name

This is a good impulse. I have mixed feelings about any and all gofundmes (and related), but the impulse is good.

Oh good. wapo.st/3IlM56R

Love this image which is labeled SIX SILVER TRUMPETS in both Italian and Latin which doesn't help me understand what it going on at all. If you click over, you can zoom in REAL close.

A lot has been said about the value of Pr Nelson's professional experience once the pandemic hit. I haven't heard it yet, but I'm sure people are speculating that the same will be true of a Pr Oaks. I don't want to be pessimistic but, well, I can indeed imagine a crisis of the rule of law.

Terryl Givens is live right now on Healing Truths of the Gospel if that's something you could use right now. www.youtube.com/live/jBuz-br...

At least they know.

I like this song so much. Except for the chorus sung by the actual musicians.

I guess Trump's never watched this.

Four things I dearly love that are not actually the moon.

Startled to discover this Virgil's reminds me of Milkis.

Submit to Fearreantum II (and tell your friends to too):

I'm about a third of the way through this novel and it's so good. I recommend it to all fellow anti-oligarchy travelers in the year of our Lord twenty twenty-five.

I wonder if they were inspired by @tmbg.bsky.social's "stelluB"?

It's finally on Hoopla!

Forgot about this one. What a depressing series of still-relevant observations I made.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this "You Listened to RFK Jr." sticker. Good news: You have thrown out your Tylenol, successfully avoiding autism. Bad news: You have contracted polio, whooping cough, and several previously undiscovered parasites. You are now dead. collabs.shop/itltcc

Lot from me the last couple weeks.....

Based on the news out of New Zealand, Craig Jepson is once again making sure no one with my surname will be welcomed warmly.

Sorry, SAME year. It actually came out two months and ten days earlier. Still. Crazy coincidence.

Subtly downgrade a band Hypothesize Dragons

I can only assume this was my recommendation.

Back when ditto was young.

It's like they WANT us all to be conspiracy theorists.....

Everyone in the administration who doesn't agree with this should be asked why they're such a coward. I really want to hear their responses.

Could you share this gift link with Pam Bondi? Thanks.

Good thing that wasn't my last guess, you dumb fingers. ⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟨🟨🟨 ⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Normally I don't care how a Taskmaster task is scored, but I was outraged at the nonsense of this final task's point distribution:

Heard from a General Auhority that there were 16,000 REbaptisms in 2024. That's quite the number.

A one-paragraph essay with exquisite bookending.

I know it's supposed to be pretty bad but I still think that sticking Anthony Perkins in a shower one year after Psycho couldn't have helped.

Makes me want to watch his entire filmography.

Has Discord considered linking to Bandcamp as well as Spotify and Amazon Music and YouTube?

My last post on Thubrina. Trying to situate myself in a tradition, I suppose.

This photo of a US citizen, flying the US flag, standing up for the ideals in the US Constitution, unbowed while under attack by agents who are betraying those ideals, is important. It says we can still have our country if we try.

The flag belongs to YOU and don't you forget it.

ABC might be able to rehabilitate its reputation some if IT made suit against the FCC on its own behalf.

Bubble Question: Where 10 is the World Wide Web and 1 is Beanie Babies, how would you rate the current AI bubble?

I just watched forty of a recording of an old back-to-school night during the online years. Am I really that entertaining? Egad, man.

The penultimate post before we move on to other things.
