@jodiwilldare.bsky.social Now I've been thinking way too much about Steisand. I always feel bad when I can't appreciate a talented artist. And believe me, I've listen to a lot of her albums hoping to find gems.

@itsthebrandi.bsky.social Happy Birthday!

I love Wilco.... I really do, but... After listening to Killer Country and Ode To Joy again... I feel like Jeff could slow down the number of songs/albums he releases and have much stronger releases overall.

QOTD: If you could be friends with any Muppet in real life who would it be and why?

On a scale of 1-10, how viable would a Wilco theme park be?

This tracks...

To help put your Monday in perspective, I just picked up a container of Milk Duds upside down and dumped them all over everything.

It’s true.

Not all heroes…

Remember that scene in Real Genius where Mitch goes into the college classroom and the professor is just playing a tape of their lecture and there are no students, just tape recorders recording the recording? I feel like we're in that stage of AI.

Happy Birthday Ian (RIP) youtu.be/DJfAxuGU0IM?...

The American Heart Association is getting creative.

Good morning! ☕️☔️🌸🎶☮️🐝💗

Did you know that Chewbacca's brother Pannubacca died when Princess Leia's home planet was destroyed?

It was suggested I have a “hipster Zorro thing” going today.

Laibach's Fluid Emancipation takes on synthpop...and I'm a little amazed at how well they do it. "The song is a reflection on a system that simulates freedom—while quietly shaping how we think, feel, and define identity." www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT6M...

Is there a German word for when you stop feeling embarrassed for someone else because they constantly post the dumbest stuff over and over?

A minister’s work is never done.

Ooof!

Sometimes they give away cowboy hats at a tech event and you get your first cowboy hat ever at 48.

If I were a billionaire I’d spend most of energy and resources on completing a Mighty Mighty Bosstones reunion. (And also have the @thepolyphonicspree.bsky.social play my birthday party)

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

if you really think about it, there's no problem we face that can't be solved by a new White House ballroom

This morning's earworm reminded me how much I miss Tom Petty. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Atc...

That... that can't be right.

Today's challenge, support my 14-year-old's healthy BS detector, while also discouraging him from thinking that sooner or later everyone is just in it for themselves. It's not easy.

Ummmm.... nerdist.com/article/disn...

There's a quiet sadness that comes from finding out a colleague is no longer at a company by getting an automated 'email no longer exists in system' message back.

Latest addition to the collection.

Sorry.

There is hope... maybe. leavingmaga.org

Here we go.

Since Trump has trouble distinguishing what someone in the medical profession looks like, here is a picture of a lifesaving professional.

Someone mentioned that Napoleon Dynamite was a representation of poor people in the West Anderson universe and I think it broke my brain.

Temu update. It looks legit.

I finally broke down and ordered a Pink Floyd record on Temu because it was $3.88. ($7 with shipping.) We'll see how this turns out.

Mr. Lovestein making me cry... again.

Ok Godzilla, now would be great.

For safety.

Happy Rex Manning Day!

This is a lot for a Wednesday morning, but I know a lot of us are feeling this. Hard. @michaelfdubois.bsky.social
