When I was a child and obsessed with the Billboard album charts printed in the back of Rolling Stone, I was always fascinated by Chris Rea's Auberge album because 1) what was that word? and 2) how was it steadily charting when he wasn't on the radio or MTV at all? Anyway, RIP Mystery Guy.

A full year later I am still being haunted by the ghouls from A Place For Mom Dot Org and the people they sold my name to.

This reminds me of my story about stripping to Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer to demonstrate what it's like trying to have sex while 60 Minutes is on.

Standing in line so why don't we just get started here. No commentary although if the line doesn't move I will take questions. 10. Saint Levant, Nari Nari Nari youtu.be/hW_rpqxB2Hc?...

The reason I haven't posted my top ten songs of the year yet is that I can't decide which one should be number one. But I think I'm ready / I need to move on with my life.

My entire 2008-2013 was lost to a hard drive malfunction exacerbated by a tech guy who physically broke the drive while trying to back it up. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Just got an email about something called Slutty Gospel Brunch that is happening in Georgia next June.

Happy Solstice y'all.

Glad that I don't have Christmas music in my head right now but I absolutely do not understand what Something Happened on the Way to Heaven by Phil Collins is currently doing in there.

Happy 21st December evening everyone. May the Great Veiled Bear pass over you house tonight and not present you with one of his cursed Christmas cookies.

I wrote about that night in February when I went to a death metal show on the same blizzardy night as the Four Nations Cup, when we were all a little worried about being annexed by the USA. basementgalaxy.wordpress.com/2025/12/21/d...

Good morning! Happy solstice! It’s a very sunny solstice day in Chicago. The sun is the lowest in the sky it will be all year WHICH MEANS it’s golden hour all day WHICH MEANS it’s a good day to take some photos. Get that good light. Set your phone on a timer. Feel good about yourself.

Good morning.

What the hell was I doing when the sun set?

Guy walking down Atwells with a boombox on his shoulder cranking Louder than Love by George Lamond.

I reread the ten Martin Beck novels every few years and can't believe I've never seen this movie.

It's your birthday, Duane.

Does anyone wanna see a really good Getty image of Rita Moreno and Sam The Eagle having dinner in 1979?

Why would a six room condo require 149 photos, you ask.

Walked in ready to go for red but in a surprise twist I went for the blue pair.

Ok going to recycle some electronics now.

Barely awake but posting 20-11 of my favorite songs of the year now. The plan was to be done with this yesterday 🤷

Just going to start calling everything Rhode Island's Thriving Town Near Providence. www.islands.com/2054940/john...

I should explain that Dave is a lawyer, so this plotline makes a ton of sense

"his Yaris is giving fleet" also tho, in FL it's pretty much only rentals that get this "PM" sticker! www.familyhandyman.com/article/pm-s...

This might be a dumb question but how can you tell a car might be a rental by looking at it?

Here's an example of how useless and frustrating internet laws to "protect kids" are in practice: When I'm in Ohio, where I am during the holidays, I can't use my Bluesky DMs—unless I hand over my ID to a company owned by Epic Games. Why? To protect kids, of course! spitfirenews.com/p/why-i-have...

I'm sorry I just don't care what you have to say if your gimmick is pretending that your subway ticket is a microphone.

Crazy that Tiny Showcase doesn't exist anymore. I know it got sold at least once, but it was one of the first things I featured in 2005 when I started writing the art column for Providence Monthly.

I have a whole box of weeded maps that are expired, cut up or folded and I offer them to you all FOR FREE as wrapping paper.

Just read a Facebook comment that said "He's old. 48! WTF?"

Big same. Access to guns is a far larger proportion born. A friend sent me a friend of a friend of an acquaintance Facebook profile and I was dead sure that was the guy. He wasn’t. So now I have a totally different pro-2nd amendment guy to be afraid of.

The killer being an international student makes me worry for all ither international students (even more than I already was).

Don't worry everyone I remembered to book a haircut appointment before the holiday break.

One thing I miss about Twitter is the robot that posted this every week.

This is basically the entire lower east side of Providence but the border streets are Thayer, Waterman, Gano and Wickenden for people that maybe can't read the tiny letters on the map.

Just got invited to an informational webinar at 7pm on Christmas Eve?!

A break from Christmas content to enjoy this capybara eating a banana. From François Froger's 'A relation of a voyage ...' (London, 1698).

Tonight in Providence Jason and I are on a casual-ish panel about literary arts and design. 7pm at Riffraff, along with Jen Corace and Khamry Varfley.

The word committees looks wrong every time I spell it and I think the reason is that with the three double letters you expect more visual balance than you actually get with those unwieldy double Ms.

Just had a zoom meeting with a guy in a Von Dutch hat.

Kind of shocked that this happened a week ago and the first I am hearing about it is via the grid of random stories when you open a new Firefox tab. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/09/s...

Thank goodness for alt texting because I almost accidentally put full frontal out there without meaning to. here is the g rated edit and uh I guess DM me if you want the spicy four pack.
