Why am I seeing tax prep commercials now? TV should not be stressing me out about this before the year is even over.

Just heard a segment on “Political Gabfest” about America’s affordability crisis immediately followed by an ad for Saks Fifth Avenue, for all your holiday shopping! 🤦

@pftompkins.bsky.social On the British knitting competition show (not making that up) Game of Wool one of the contestants made a Gritty themed dog outfit:

We got a promise to a vote sometime soon. Peace for our time. Enjoy your Thanksgiving air travel.

The President and the Supreme Court went into crisis mode, on a weekend, to deny food assistance to Americans. Remember that. Tell your “America First” friends, family, and public officials that every F-ing chance you get.

Americans, you could have this.

I was into Socialist Mayors before it was cool.

That’s a pretty good week for me:

Extremely proud of my little neighborhood punching above its weight in the trick or treat game this year, and of my wife for making sure everyone drove safely down our street. (We had realized that shifting trick or treat to a Friday evening put us in prime food delivery driver hours.) 😬

Looking for recommendations or must-avoids for electric bikes. Mostly using it for commuting and errands, not speed or recreation. @brookebikesmke.bsky.social

I’m usually annoyed with the Dodgers organ but I smile a little every time it plays the intro to I Am the Walrus.

I miss the simpler times. Covfefe…

Dodger Stadium organ, yeah we get it. Go get a drink or something.

The World Series is currently the 19th story down the page in Google News’ sports section. Yeah, baseball is languishing in hockey territory in terms of popularity and I called it in 2004 when MLB put all their marketing into the Red Sox/Yankees Industrial Complex.

I miss whimsy: youtu.be/HhDVSiidt_4?...

A Rendevous with Rama situation in the making? (And yes I realize this guy is full of shit): futurism.com/space/avi-lo...

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

Did The Cure name their album “Head on a Door” as a reference to the Young Ones episode in which they are mentioned?

This will kill me, I’m calling it now. I’ll be walking over to Downer St on a Sunday to pick up some beer and Cheezits before the Packers game and one of these cars will run me over, probably at Park and Maryland. www.engadget.com/tesla-reintr...

Me whenever there are tech problems at work:

Trump wants to DOUBLE Argentina's bailout to $40 billion to save his political ally. Yet he is doing nothing to prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and 20 million from seeing a doubling in their premiums. Is this what Trump means by America first?

MKE Strong!

I had a dream I was talking to my dad about sports. It was nice, I miss him.

Somehow this will get us invaded, based on the other cities on this list.

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

this is our cracker barrel moment

People do realize that Bad Bunny is from Puerto Rico, which IS part of the US, right?

The audio isn’t *that* creepy. I bet @markmosher.bsky.social and @victoria-theremin.bsky.social could come up with a better sonic representation.

I’ve officially hit the “people you went to grad school with are running for mayor of a major city” stage of life. Good luck @dewayneforminneapolis.com ! If I lived in MPLS you’d have my vote!

I think Buckley’s Angel just texted me:

Mic drop.

@jonkimball.bsky.social @epmcool.bsky.social sports.yahoo.com/article/bill...

Same energy.

I just wish all the people who oppose traffic calming could understand how much joy and confidence children can get when they are able to safely walk and bike places.

CDs more popular than vinyl. Data. 📈. www.headphonesty.com/2025/02/cds-...

George Carlin could have made at least a 15 minute bit from this: www.sustainability-times.com/energy/these...

Still, uh, working on basic US history there Google AI?

Can’t wait to hear the confused reactions to One Battle After Another after seeing the deadly-serious commercial for it. This is gonna be fun.

Now that’s hot. 🔥 www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025...
