I am forever grateful that the music that reached me when I was in my prime teenage music-absorbing years was punk, ska, and garage, because that music is especially designed to get me out of depressive funks and it works till this day.

Weird Al getting raptured in the middle of a performance was not on my dream bingo card but here we are

If only the rest of the party was being this clear.

Some people are desperate for the Rapture as a way to escape the consequences for what they've done to this world. They have a mindset that is permanently stuck in the mode of a guy who knows he's getting fired soon so why not trash the place before you go.

I’m happy Jimmy is back I’m still not rebooking our cruise on Disney (Saturday I cancelled our cruise to Alaska next year on DCL and booked on Royal Caribbean instead) I appreciate this was tough from a business POV for Disney but that doesn’t give them a pass for punting on free speech

Kimmel was Sinclair having a hissy fit, but behind closed doors how many much more low-profile voices on virtually any major TV network get silenced because they've done something to annoy Sinclair? How would you ever know? You think Sinclair had the temerity to do this once and once only?

relevant life lesson from comics on this one

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Political violence is always immoral and always counterproductive for a healthy democracy. It solves nothing. It only leads to further violence and ultimately enables scapegoating of vulnerable communities. Committing acts of violence against those who disagree with us helps no one.

In addition to the whole fascism thing (ugh), this demonstrates a complete lack of understanding on how broadcast licensing in America works (not surprising tbh). The affiliate stations (and their owners) are the ones who get the licenses and thus pay the fees, companies like Hearst and Tegna.

Driving my rig around the roadblock because dammit I need to get some sleep but I just need to deliver this load to Jonesboro first and I don’t want to go 50 miles out of my way to do so.

Cedar point today was really fun, got to ride 20 coasters and get two new credits with Sirens Curse and TT2 with @kwandry.bsky.social Great ops and keeping all coasters up today! @cedarpoint.bsky.social Sirens curse in particular had a really fun layout. Was definately more than a gimmick.

Happy birthday to Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes! Born on July 5, 1958.

And democrats say they can’t do very much to stop Trump sheesh

I’m doing some research into 70s-90s queer glam/punk for a novel I’m writing and I am founding all these amazing icons I didn’t know about like Jayne County and Jobriath and it makes me feel like I’m going through a gay renaissance

Had a good pride with my bf @kwandry.bsky.social today. I love you hun.

Imagine being so toxic that you literally kill the leader of your entire faith just by meeting with him

Ah the day after Easter easy day to be the fill-in morning newscast director what could possibly happen

Having a little piece of glass stuck in the sole of my foot makes me start to understand why some macros like to wear big stompy boots during rampages

I typed “Ska Music Videos” into YouTube and it gave me a bunch of British “Two Tone Ska” bands from the 70s and 80s I’d never heard of before and now my mind is blown

It’s so heartbreaking for me to be planning a California trip without a Disneyland Day 😭

I took too many drugs the mustaches are flying

Job I applied for in NYC went to another applicant. Not super upset about it because now I don’t have to plan for a cross-country move (yet) but I really am not wanting to spend the next four years in a red state so ugggghhhhhh

Abandoning Twitter is hard (I’ve been on it since 2008 and it was a huge part of my 20s and 30s) but it’s way past time for it to be done. Hello blue sky! I should be on here more now that I’m forcing myself off the other place.
