It's almost as if the FIFA peace prize is meaningless.

PROMETHAZINE!! The customer gleefully cried, blissfully unaware of what DM meant.

Let me step into the role of consumer advocate here for a minute. If you have prescriptions that can be filled this weekend, fill them this weekend. Do NOT set foot into a pharmacy on Monday.

I asked AI what the probability was that a 79 year old American man would die within the next year. No reason really. Just curious. But it looks like there's about a 5% chance 2026 can be a great year.

It was a good movie and all, but dammit I've had Neil Diamond songs going through my head for five days now. #iamisaid

There's a Mr. Moneybags local philanthropist who decided to open a non profit pharmacy here in town. Talked to him the other day, and what he's learning is that the pharmacy business really sucks, lol.

Happy "yes you did get a new insurance card" day to those who celebrate.

Just saw "Song Sung Blue" and I gotta tell ya, as a total Pearl Jam head, seeing a Neil Diamond cover band open for them in 1995 would have been fucking awesome.

Paramount, the company that paid a $16 million bribe to Donald Trump to facilitate a merger, fired Stephen Colbert when he pointed it out, and shitcanned this story about how the Trump administration arranged to have people tortured, probably doesn't want you to watch this. youtu.be/jiehEMlNiCI?...

People wonder how I managed to mostly retire at 53. Part of it involves not replacing things until they're in this type of condition.

I'll end this year having read 15 books, up from 10 last year. Favorite: "James" Learned The Most From: "Humanly Possible" Least Favorite: "Good Material" "Little Women" remains my least favorite book I actually finished. A title I'm confident it will always hold.

An electrician is at the monkey house right now putting in a 220 volt circuit to power my new ham radio amplifier. My world wide signals are soon to be at the full 1500 watt legal limit. This is a good day.

One reason to be jealous of the boomers is that for many of them, there was a moment they came back from the store, new copy of The Beatles Sargent Peppers in hand, never having heard it and about to get their mind blown.

So they've opened a new pharmacy here in town and they asked me if I could cover a shift. What the hell, for old times sake, right? Took me less than half an hour to realize I never fucking want to do this again. Jesus retail pharmacy sucks.

Happy Epstein files eve for those who celebrate

Random etiquette tip for my fellow pharmacists. Don't talk about money or your stock portfolio at work. Times are tough for many, including some of your fellow employees within earshot.

Gotta give RFK Jr. props where he's earned them. Becoming the shittiest Kennedy was a high bar to clear, and he sailed right over it.

As a Spinal Tap nerd, this is devastating.

I know this will come as a shock to those of you in the pharmacy industry, but CVS is going to pay money to settle an accusation that they did something wrong. ncpa.org/newsroom/qam...

Whenever I see a commercial for a prescription drug on TV, I always pay attention to see if it's one you can take if you're allergic to it or not.

I think the biggest surprise for me in this whole kid got a zero on her paper scandal has been finding out there's a university in Oklahoma.

Did I say 1563 cases of measles this year? Because now it's 1828.

I find it ironic they stop a football game to penalize a team for delaying the game.

Two things are guaranteed to generate laughs for late night comedians these days. A picture of Kash Patel's face and any reference to Diddy and baby oil.

"The man refused rabies treatment" I don't mind it at all when the dumbasses only hurt themselves. www.npr.org/2021/09/29/1...

You just know Trump went to bed last night with that medal around his neck.

Two trivial parts of pre-internet life. You had no way to know what the number one song in the country was until Casey Kasem told you, and if someone asked you the time, it was perfectly acceptable to be within three minutes or so.

What to do when the Mrs. has you trapped in a craft store and you have absolutely no interest in crafts? There are always ways to entertain yourself.

I believe this has aged well.

So to get the Hegseth defense correctly. "We didn't do anything wrong, but HE DID IT!!!!!!"

Thing is, he's such a dolt I wouldn't be at all surprised if partyin' Pete Hegseth didn't even know killing survivors after destroying a ship was a war crime.

Diverting myself with sportsball for a moment, there is no need for this Big 10 title game. Both teams will be going to the playoffs no matter the outcome, and these kids aren't machines, they're humans who punish their bodies every time they go out there.

So it wasn't the open bigotry or uniformed goons in our streets or the assault on democracy that has eroded Trump's popularity. People just decided their hamburger costs too much. Our society is ill.

No, you can’t get the flu from the flu vaccine. The temporary side effects that you might feel after getting the vaccine are your immune system reacting to the inactive proteins from the surface of the virus.

This is one short step from "the fewer stitches the more riches" in Brave New World. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h...

Admit it. Turkey's only real food value is as lunchmeat. If it weren't for this day you wouldn't eat one of those things in a million years.

It was only a matter of time. This country is awash in guns and people don't want fucking soldiers on their streets. Can't help but think this is exactly what Trump wanted.

I never had kids because I convinced myself I wouldn't be that great of a parent, but every once in awhile, I see a story and think, "damn, I would have been ahead of that one." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/u...

You know how sometimes you see Major as a first name? I think it would be funny for one of those kids to enlist in the army, because then their name would be something like Private Major Smith.

If they were just hurting themselves, I wouldn't mind the anti-vax stupids. Hell, I would actively encourage them. It bugs me that they're damaging their kids though. Very thankful my mom wasn't a moron.

Back from Mexico and gotta tell you it's Mexiawesome. Seriously can see me making more Mexitime.

Y'all know I'm no fan of trump, but gotta give him props where he earns them. He knows Democrats are spineless weaklings and exactly how to play them. It'll only be worse next time. Giving in to a bully never ends well.

Going to Mexico soon and looking over my travel health insurance policy. I'm seriously thinking about scheduling a heart attack while I'm down there, as the coverage is much better than the crap plan that I have here.

Whoever could have seen this NBA sports betting scandal coming? Me. That's who. I am a goddamn prophet.

This is a Saturday Night Live skit that writes itself. A press conference at the Pentagon filled with buffoons asking asinine questions. Mike Lindell sitting there hugging a pillow. Comedy fucking gold. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/b...

Anyone who's been through a NRA gun safety course should know that firing live shells over a highway was a dumb idea. And yes, I've been through a NRA gun safety course. You never point your gun at anything you don't intend to shoot.

This is how spent my afternoon. I feel if more Germans had been wearing orange dinosaur costumes in 1933, catastrophe could have been avoided.

One of the major points the organizers of today's No Kings protests makes is the importance of de-escalation. To that end, I'll be wearing a dinosaur costume that makes it impossible to flip off the Trumpanzees.
