I just wanna apologize to everyone who knows me, or met me, or wanted to meet me #sctv #merrychristmas

FLASH! Santa on Way—and He's Flying in a Sleigh!

RE: https://union.place/@jaythurbershow/115772608018277472 I woke up this morning wondering what I drunk-skeeted last night but actually it deserves a boost. Nevertheless: Don't drink and toot, kids

DID YOU KNOW? In Pittsburgh and other parts of Western Pennsylvania, it's traditional on Christmas Eve for Santa Claus to come down the chimbley. #yinzer #pittsburgh

I just got home from an extremely boozy dinner with a trans woman friend of mine who's unemployed and having trouble finding a new gig, and I'll tell you what I told her: That's bullshit, because trans people are some of the most resourceful people I know. Any company would be smart to hire them.

Trump Administration Live Updates: President Announces Plans for New ‘Trump Class’ Battleships #USPol #crazytrain

I appreciate the confidence of the Ford Motor Company that they think this car is going to last until well into the 23rd Century. Maybe with regular oil changes and if I keep up with the rustproofing. I don't think I'm going to be around to drive it, though. I […] [Original post on union.place]

"The difference between garland and tinsel is that Merrick Tinsel would have gotten a conviction." —Seth Meyers #USPol #merrickgarland

I went back and listened to Marc Maron's interview with Rob Reiner and I'd forgotten how little preparation Maron did before an interview. "So you've got a coupla Oscars, right?" 😬

“The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was unanimous.’ That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.” - Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH)

Hive mind: I'm thinking about bringing back my New Year's Eve broadcast, where at 9 p.m. Dec. 31 we pretend it's 1965 at WRCT and I play the top 40 along with vintage commercials and news. Anyone interested? It's a lot of work but I sort of miss doing it. #radio #pittsburgh #retro #1960s #wrct

The trailer for Melania Trump’s movie is out. I like the part where she kidnaps the dalmatians to make them into a fur coat

Anyone who has cut off contact with a family member has done it as a last resort. No one does it because "my therapist told me to" or "my spouse told me to" or "I saw a video on TikTok." They absolutely got to the very end of their rope and had no other options to deal with the person.

Is it a good day for Morecambe & Wise? Trick question, it's always a good day! Elton John ("sounds like a rest stop on the motorway") tries to teach Eric and Ernie to sing a duet in countermelody, from their 1976 BBC Christmas special. #britishcomedy #ericmorecambe #erniewise

I was reading about Rob Reiner and suddenly remembered there are lyrics to the closing theme of "All in the Family": Got a feelin' it's all over now All over now, we're through. And tomorrow I'll be lonesome, Remembering you. Got a feelin' the sun will be gone The day will be long and blue […]

Save yourself a click and don't bother reading the story in Vanity Fair about Susie Wiles, Trump's chief of staff. They're all terrible people, but you know that. There is no honor among thieves. TL;DR: These dumb-asses are all trying to set themselves up for real jobs after the collapse […]

specifically, twitter now is a place where Yglesias can count on an army of Nazis to send death threats to his opponents on the left if they challenge him.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@randahl/115715156216667092 YouTube (Google/Alphabet) could stop this stuff, so why don't they? Silicon Valley is morally bankrupt. Gangsters have a more developed sense of right and wrong.

I sometimes get emails or DMs, "hey, what was the song you played yesterday?" WRCT uses a service called Spinitron to automatically track playlists, and you can check them out on the station website: https://wrct.org/playlist/21670807/

Fediverse pals, if your instance is run by a non-profit organization or a volunteer, now is a good time to see if they need a donation. I don't take for granted my instance moderators @tim @josh @crs @doug, especially as all other forms of social media enshittify. #fediverse #mastodonmigration

I gotta admit, I'm always a little surprised when I re-assemble something and it works! This "parts only/not working" Zenith TO has come back to life after a bit of service and some minor repairs. This is from my basement workshop outside of Pittsburgh with no external antenna.
