I'm really tired of having to replace my general anxiety with all too specific ones

❌"I'm an atheist." -Boring. -Pretentious. -Might overanalyze yourself into being a TERF a la Richard Dawkins ✅"I bow to no god." -Boss bitch energy. -Even if one of the religions is right, you don't look like an ass. -Someone might ask for you to step on them while they call you "mommy"

I spent too long using the snow blower and shoveling this morning and now my arms are achy noodles.

I refuse to acknowledge Carl’s dungeon crawling skills until he spells his name with a “K”.

Is it my imagination or is the spreadsheet app on my phone giving me the middle finger?

Reminds me of when Nixon made Elvis an honorary narcotics agent. Corruption needs distraction to operate out in the open.

I took the cookie coordinator gig this season thinking I'd just be in charge of quality control for Thin Mints and Carmel deLites. No one told me math was involved. Stupid numbers.

If we’re very lucky, small companies will start to realize they can be competitive by offering products with LESS features. No AI. No internet connectivity. No touchscreens. No “value added” subscriptions. It does what you want for the price you pay. Please?

“Surfaces” is such a weaselly word… ugh. Writers have long long memories, we’ll see if they come back from this.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Big Companies: We want you to sign up for our loyalty programs so we can track your every purchase and spending habits. Consumers: That'll actually come in handy for refunding what we paid in tarriffs when you get that money back! Big Companies: What? You're crazy, there's no way to do that!

I honestly don't get video shorts that are obviously clips from a longer video, posted by the original content creator, that don't link back to the longer video in the description or comments...

Yikes, he really knows how to drive the point home.

the eternal ADHD struggle 😫🧠

if i ever have to land a plane, i’m gonna try to ‘set her down easy’ - that’s a promise

In celebration of World Book Day, here’s a poem called ‘Book Group’.

This is like seeing a Culver's ad for Wisconsin Cheese Curds with (now potatoes from Idaho) at the bottom.

Years ago (decades actually) a very sweet friend of mine was in the Peace Corps and I was putting together a package to send her. Bruce Campbell was in the area promoting "If Chins Could Kill" and was letting fans take pictures with him as well as signing books...

Names for future tribute bands from the 90s and 2000s: - Heart Smoothie - Ironic Goddess - The Dookies - Deep Mmmms - Julie's Mom (There's a theater in Wisconsin that does nothing but tribute shows, currently it's classic rock and hair metal bands but eventually they gotta move on to other eras)

Being a geek dad is encouraging your kid's interest in 3D printing while biting your tongue every time he asks if it's finished yet.

Damn you Paul Hollywood! Damn you to hell.

Reminder that this is the technology that the Pentagon wants Anthropic (Claude AI) to REMOVE restrictions on before integrating it into our military systems.

Random Music Video Thread #2,347 - South African Edition A little late night relaxing music to let go on, the latest from Shekhinah. Shekhinah - Until Until (Official Music Video) youtu.be/lkK0buxAOz4?...

For that was the winter we listened to Enya Accompainiment to my Christmas gift, a book Brimming with inappropriate terror Devoured over break like a clown eating children

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

There are certain worst options, by all reports he’s a stand up guy in real life and it would at least be an interesting session.

If they did a remake of Cocoon (not that they should), here's my cast next to the original actors... Jeff Bridges (Wilford Brimley) Kathy Bates (Maureen Stapleton) Harrison Ford (Don Ameche) Samuel Jackson (Hume Cronyn) Sally Field (Jessica Tandy) Ben Kingsley (Bernie Lefkowitz)

Wow that franchise took a dark turn

If you didn't want to get constant book-length emails, you shouldn't have made me the Cookie Coordinator for our troop this year. You knew what you were getting into. Actually, you probably didn't. Sorry not sorry, it's your problem now.

Hear me out: As much as I love Cyrano, in the modern age he’d be a red pill alpha male podcaster using Christian to beta test his online course on How to Talk to Women, soon to be on sale for four installments of $99.99.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

I'm glad it didn't snow today, but I'm really missing the sun and warmth of the last week.

I would have released this on Valentine's Day weekend. It looks like it's a fun watch with a solid cast assuming they didn't blow all the jokes in the trailer.

(me trying to let my wife sleep in this morning) BOOM-BOOM-BOOM....SHHHHHHHHHH! I AM NINJA! (sorry babe)

America has no kings, but it'd be nice if we followed Britian's example when it comes to princes and other leaders.

Waiting for Trump to annouce he's suing the NFL because the Super Bowl halftime show was bad, so bad...but that he'd change his mind if they sell him the Seattle Seahawks for a "fair" price. (50/50 chance of a version of this happening, he's wanted an NFL team longer than the Nobel Peace Prize)

All the businesses promoting Presidents Day sales need to read the room.

Grumpy Old Man Thought #4256: Sampling is so abused that people are using the word "interpolate" in song reviews instead because "sampling" implies using small bits of music instead of large wholesale pieces intended more to invoke nostalgia than create transformative work. (shakes fist in Gen X)

To mark Valentine’s Day, here is what is believed to be the world’s oldest surviving love poem, written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus.

So I was watching a movie on ad-supported streaming tonight and during the commercials they ran an old Biden for President ad. Obviously a mistake, but it WAS a good reminder that the worse predictions in those ads came true and worse besides.

The part of me that values privacy and civil rights hates this, but the part of me that often can’t match faces to names has to admit that it’s pretty cool. But no no no, society must be protected. (damnit)

If I wrote gay historical romances I would totally ship Cyrano and Le Bret.

Years ago I saw Steve Martin with someone else in a small State St shop, I wish I’d thought to ask for an autograph to get one of the cards he hands out in those situations but I left him alone instead.

Wisconsin Dad Joke #4,654 - ‘Hey kids! It looks like Culver’s Flavor of the Day today is Walleye!’

Idiocracy in a small nearly empty theater near the Chicago IKEA after reading a review on AintItCoolNews. John Wick kinda in that me and a friend went to another movie that we got the showing wrong on, and went to John Wick instead because we’d heard it was good but didn’t know anything about it.
