6-7=23 Skidoo Prove me wrong.

The same people who yesterday were dismissive of when the Capitol police got the shit kicked out of them by a bloodthirsty mob are today claiming a bunch of unharmed ICE goons were in mortal danger from one woman.

How long before we’re informed that the victim was no angel?

I would like to get a snack and a drink but House Dinosaur Sunny is napping and I don’t want to disturb her.

Why is it always guys who look like Mayberry's dentist that talk like Rambo?

this photo is getting a round of appreciation (thank you @utopia-defer.red 🥰) so it’s worth mentioning it’s actually the cover image of @asterolsen.bsky.social’s newest TRANSplants zine!!! @bumunculousjones.bsky.social did the awesome art overlay for it, one of my favorite collabs I’ve ever done!

Because of my age and ZIP code I frequently get invited to free special dinner events with estate planners. I feel like accepting an invitation and showing up dressed as badly as possible. Just hobo style, unkempt and shabby. Really play it up. I could pull it off.

🧵Venezuela. This feels different from Trump’s other stupid, destructive actions. You could look at MAHA/vaccines, USAID, hobbling government functions, healthcare subsidies, tariffs, and think the damage could eventually reversed. But invading another country and kidnapping their head of state +

Some day we’ll have a President with something other than spoiled porridge between his ears and it’s going to be such a relief.

If I had lived in the Middle Ages I would simply have attached my chamber-pot to a small catapult so the contents could be flung out the window without touching the container. I don’t know why no-one thought of that.

Okay I have to go to sleep. If we could hold off on the invasions until morning that’d be great. Thanks.

Hey, a statement with actual substance.

People have speculated for a decade about what Trump’s functional political orientation is. I think it’s clearly resolved to “Who’s going to stop me? You?”

“.. There is no evidence that anyone on the Trump team has thought about what will happen tomorrow, or next week, or next year .. “.. we’re not even 24 hours into this .. Decades later, we’re still dealing with the aftermath in Afghanistan and Iraq.” fallows.substack.com/p/blind-into...

I think we can all agree that the first person who posts “And you’re just now realizing this?” has to clean the bluesky bathrooms for one year.

Still not a Doors fan, and I have given them more than enough chances over the decades. But this is a hell of a jam.

I am not smart-assing. Understanding this message of empathy and compassion should be required to enter politics.

Man, I can’t do anything right. I took a fall while shoveling snow that should have broken my ankle. It just made a loud snap and immediately swelled up. Doesn’t even hurt really. Tomorrow it will be very interesting colors.

This is the kind of story that historians look back on and say “well, this is so improbable it’s probably a lie made up by his enemies”.

One day after a particularly exhausting episode like you used to take in stride you’ll turn and look back for the first time since you can’t remember when and there will be the hill. Most of it, including the top. Never noticed the zenith passing, it just happened and there you are permanently over.

It’s great. I read it in two days and didn’t want it to end.

I can’t be the only one who hears the similarities between Roadrunner by the Modern Lovers and Brimful of Asha by Cornershop.

New year, new mayor! Congratulations, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

In case you were unsure, it’s Thursday.

Things that no longer happen since I retired 10 months ago. Mistaken for a dirty vagrant in a good hotel where I am a Gold level member. Get up at 3:30 am on Monday for a flight that gets delayed 4 hours. Mistaken for a dirty vagrant in a restaurant and given extra free food to go. +

Kind of a weird and incoherent record but I love it. Many people say it’s their favorite from Bowie and that’s kind of strange because it doesn’t really have an identity like many of his others. But these are great performances and I have to listen to it once a year.

It is outstanding. I loved it.

Amazing job by the plow driver here. There’s a freshly shoveled sidewalk underneath the snow he just flung off the road.

Hi I can’t sleep. So if flavor crystals had never existed would some other taste enhancement have evolved to provide the same functionality?

I’m late to this but apparently about 35 years ago the word trespass evolved a transitive verb meaning. To trespass someone is to ban them with the threat of arrest. Because once banned they can be charged with trespassing if they return. I just noticed that and figured it out by context.

Just shoveled snow and salted for 20 minutes. The predicted 1-2” turned into 4” and 45 MPH wind gusts. Can’t complain. It’s late December.

This record is 35 years old now and I still haven’t gotten enough of Harriet Wheeler’s singing.

If you were going out on Lake Superior no you’re not. 10 meter waves.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains. youtu.be/x5HTYJXS6GA?...

FB Marketplace recommended this wonderfully angry listing for a loud wall clock. As a fanatical tinkerer I would just have taken it apart and silenced the ticking noise maker.

This week warmer temperatures melted the heaps of snow in the driveway. It revealed most of the carcass of a medium sized rodent frozen to the pavement. No idea where it came from but I made plans to shovel it up when it thawed more. It was gone. A mystery (two, actually) never to be solved.

Beverage check point. Please present all warm drinks to the inspector for evaluation.

If I were Odysseus I would periodically remove my helmet for comfort. But I’m not a mythical Bronze Age warrior king so what do I know.
