Looking out my back door

Wow I can't believe they are calling it the Epstein Ballroom.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

[speaking in that soft over enunciated cadence people only use when they’re absolutely furious] first of all, the Grateful Dead skull has a *name*, you call it a “Stealie”,

"How do you expect to win back men...?" We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

"Many a man, when I tell him that I have been on to a mountain, asks if I took a glass with me. No doubt, I could have seen further with a glass, and particular objects more distinctly, ---could have counted more meeting-houses;"

You know, maybe copyright claims can do something when the democrats won't.

still getting hostile complaints about the weekend's Tarot & Tea program being ungodly. It is worth noting that we offer a range of used-to-be-ungodly services & programs including Tai Chi, yoga, D&D, and [checks notes] educating Christian women.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

In the year 2025 the library can laser engrave toast but cannot recommend eating it. #ArLA2025

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

"Louder Than You Think" is a valuable documentary in the fields of Pavement studies, Rock Star Bullshit, and marionette reenactments.

Fuck me, Lou Reed’s “Metal Machine Music” is on the Record Store Day list?

We should have an economy that isn't based on a small number of people self-dealing and wash-trading a make-believe future that nobody asked for

The world is not out to get you. That's paranoid thinking. There are, at most, three to fifteen people out to get you, working day and night on your downfall. Relax.

My hot take is that Diane narrating “Slouching Toward Bethlehem” is a near perfect audiobook experience. I was listening to it on my commute to/from Little Rock and it is etched in my memory.
