Not a picture I would normally post, but this pair of jeans I'm wearing, are 3 sizes smaller than the ones I wore in January. I tried these on two months ago, and couldn't get them zipped.

Proof of life. Beard trimmed, skin moisturized...

It seems like the universal constant across all my social media platforms, is attracting Aussies and Brits who actually want to argue about biscuits and gravy.

I had some thoughts about a post on 🧵🧵🧵 a bit ago...

I posted a selfie of my face on 🧵 earlier, asking about suggestions for a dry skin issue I've been having. One of the Japanese people that follows me replied "クマみたいで可愛い," which means "cute like a bear." 😳😳😳

@kristyclueless.bsky.social Have I got a #badtattoo for you!

I need to be done with the internet for today. I just saw a Tiktok of some ignorant girl singing Billie Holliday's "Strange Fruit" as if it were a Katy Perry song...

I'm not gonna celebrate what happened to Charlie Kirk, but I'm also not gonna shed crocodile tears at him being a victim of the very thing he so staunchly supported. We reap what we sow.

Okay, I'll admit it, I've been slacking on reading Substacks, but right now, I'm thinking it was the universe's way of making sure I had what I need, when I need it. Today is five years since my wife died of early-onset Alzheimer's, so I've been more than a little bit up in my feelings. 1/

Apparently, I've hit two different third-rail topics on Threads in as many weeks. First it was Japanese Spaghetti, and now it's The Breakfast Club...

@sassymetischick.bsky.social can you share this, please? Mary and her late husband, Nic, were friends of mine when they lived here in the Joshua Tree area. I'm hoping she is found safe, and soon.

Not that anyone will read this, but I started therapy this week. It's way past time to get my head screwed on straight...

I have to stay off of Threads for a few days. I posted about how butthurt Italians get wen you talk about Japanese Spaghetti Napolitan, and I swear the mafia is gonna come for me. 😂😂😂😂😂

And how is YOUR day going?

A Senator from Maine wrote Canadians on how we should be the 51st state. That's never going to happen. Canadians prefer our free health care and not living in a fascist country with a dictator president. Listen to Todd Maffin say why we don't be the 51st #ElbowsUp #Never51 #CanadaStrong

@kristyclueless.bsky.social This one might not be a #badtattoo, just more of a #wtftattoo...

@kristyclueless.bsky.social Here's another #badtattoo for you. The English translation is "I don't know. I don't speak Japanese."

Accurate...

Sad news from Bonneville, today...

R.I.P. Loni Anderson

Drop your best JD Vance jokes, here...

The struggle is real...😂😂😂

I've spent two hours tonight, talking with folks in Japan, texting back and forth about TV shows, movies, music, just normal junk like you might with anyone you've just met. It's the longest stretch I've gone so far in communicating only in Japanese, and I did pretty damn well.

It's been a weird week...

Gobsmacked. From his work on "The Electric Company" to discovering his earlier work in my teens, thanks to Dr. Demento, to teaching my own kids to sing "I Got It From Agnes" when they were five, Tom Lehrer was a huge part of why I am the way I am. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/a...

Took a three hour nap, and damn that felt good...

Gotta love the Scots...

Having a Millennial ask me where she could buy headcheese was not on my bingo card for today...

This morning's soundtrack is classic jazz, as I'm on my way to Palm Springs, to pick up my kid at the airport... open.spotify.com/track/4nrQ0o...

Good morning, @kristyclueless.bsky.social Here's a #badtattoo to kick off your Friday. 😂😂😂😂😂

People think a post is “successful” if it gets a lot of likes but personally I think a post is successful if it reaches just one person and absolutely ruins their day

Hee hee hee...

Please share this. With EVERYONE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA www.thedailybeast.com/south-park-e...

If you can't agree on this, I don't want to know you...

Weird how engagement works on social media. Here on 🦋 I see far fewer interactions than I did on 🐦even with a higher follower count. And meanwhile, on 🧵 I get crazy numbers of views and responses to the exact same content I post here, with 1K fewer followers.

R.I.P., Ozzy Osbourne...

Just had my eyes dilated, and everything looks like an over-exposed photograph...

And folks wonder why my kids are the way they are... 😂😂😂

Meanwhile, on Threads... 😂😂😂

October 4, 1982, and July 21, 2025. We gotta take our dandelion breaks where we can find them...

It's a Steely Dan kinda Monday...

Ain't that the truth...

Daaaamn! We've got our first thunderstorm of the summer rolling through, so it's currently 87°F, and raining...

<Snerk!>

Usually, taxidermy creeps me out, but this is hilarious...

@kristyclueless.bsky.social Here's another bad tattoo for you...
