Translates to: Andrea Bonazzi is a Lovecraftian artist and is spectacular and awesome. Laird Barron is outstanding as well. Okay, so it doesn't say that word for word but close enough!

Following Mark Hamill was one of the better ideas I've had in life

Someone keeps vetoing my sign ideas for the protest on Saturday saying they're potentially treasonous *eye roll*

A friend of mine saw this entire thing play out and has photos of 30+ SFPD officers arriving on scene to aid Ice with assaulting these women at the airport last night, if any journalists want them I can connect you. I think airports are about to become the next Minneapolis and Chicago.

Must have subscription to read, and really @nytimes.com, you should make this a free article.

And who knows which is which and who is who.

Just one of the joys of living in 2026: You wonder if that red bump on your chest is measles even though you had the MMR vaccine as a child. Not measles. Just some random irritation. Yay 2026.

I have a dessert joke but it's not fully baked

Yes, I was staring at Valentina while she was napping. Yes, she may have found this annoying because this was the look on her face when my staring woke her up.

I've seen a good number of Bald Eagles but I'd never seen one flying through my backyard before

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride. Mainstream media: nothing Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes. Mainstream media: nothing. This is what extreme media bias looks like.

Yesterday it was 78'F and sunny. Today it's snowing. 2026 *shrug*

Laird told me that The Last Good Kiss by James Crumley was a very good book, burly and dark. Laird, as usual, was right. It was incredible.

After I did my daily check on the thermostat, I spent 25 minutes tightening all the loose screws on doorknobs, drawer handles, etc. Somehow, I've turned into my dad.

Drop something RED (in honor of Laird's birthday)

A very happy birthday to Mister @lairdbarron.bsky.social! Hope you get to take it easy and enjoy a good meal.

He's a once-in-a-generation voice who's seen it all & lived to tell the tale. He transports us, bends our minds & makes us look over our shoulders. His stories are live wires. Nobody scares, shocks, or stuns like he does. It's @lairdbarron.bsky.social's birthday. All hail the king 👑

Someone once asked me what "the real" Laird was like and my answer was: Laird's kindness, intelligence, talent and compassion is outweighed only by his love of kittens and puppies.

A giant HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the incomparable @lairdbarron.bsky.social !!! Here's to many more years and birthdays together!

You know you've made it when People magazine is flipping their shit over the next book
