Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social - maybe you want to write a book about how Donald Trump is a decades-long serial rapist.

Wow. This is a hell of an inning for the Brewers. Don't watch a lot of baseball these days. This is amazing.

Bluesky has four kinds of users

I work with a few profoundly stupid, virulently racist people, and jist as you'd expect, they're the loudest bloviators in the place.

Damn it.

How easy would it be for Kalshi, DraftKings, and Polymarket to get to a couple of kickers and use it to make millions of extra dollars a game?

A few weeks back I lamented that I'd passed up buying a vinyl copy of The Jeff Lorber Fusion, but when I was reorganizing my records last week I discovered there was no reason for the kament...

Correct. We are not fucking doing that. At least, zero Gen Xers are gonna do that.

BIIIIIIIIILLLLLL BUCKNEEEEEEEEERRR!

If you needed any more evidence these so-called "prediction market" betting sites were awful, just look at the fucking stupid-ass shit they do in their terrible commercials. Just loser shit, man.

I lived in a tiny town in eastern CT in the 80s and we had a solid array of local restaurants - one Greek-American Surf & Turf was especially great. In my midwest podunk town in the 90s we had an amazing local sub shop and numerous supper clubs, plus all the regular chains.

Put Netanyahu on the blockchain.

I really dislike this shirt yet am driven to wear it because every time I do, beautiful women exclaim (unironically, I promise), "I LOVE that shirt!" It's a conundrum.

Disappointed @upscalesodomite.bsky.social didn't add the extra "You Can See" to the You Can See Everything marquee last night.

Didn't get a great shot becayse I was working, but this was a heck of a sunrise cloud this morning.

This limited ceasefire was probably secured on the promise that Melania will suck off the local Russian commander, and like all Trump deals, it'll be reneged on.

Nooooooooooooooo.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

The Ashtray Hearts keeping me company by the bonfire tonight. "Between the truth and better days/We wouldn't let it end."

There is an industrial air compressor running at full on my block while a guy installs new fence posts in my neighbor's yard, and now I understand that scene in Star Trek's "This Side of Paradise" where Kirk and Spock use sound to "annoy" the crew into killing the spore invaders. Cuz I wanna KILL.

I see there's a new movie coming out about Jimmy Stewart's WWII Air Force service, and I hope it takes pains to expose what a bloviating shitbag that chickenhawk Marion Morrison was.

At work so have to be Criterion-ing on mobile and the mobile site is farked thanks to the sale. I know I'll get the Kubrick box, but I WANT IT NOW, DAMN IT!

Today's the day, @haggischomper.bsky.social ! Criterion 50% Off Flash Sale starts at 11 am Central. GO GET THAT STUFF!

Isn't this how DOOM started?

Not a big sports fan but I do enjoy watching NFL games. One thing that really annoys me is when the announcers are obviously in the tank for one team over the other.

Fuck. AI has wormed its way into NOVA now? Poison.

Sorry, Nature. I am not watching Elmo meet elephants on your program. Leave *something* for the adults.

Sign in my town: DOES YOUR LIFE SUCK? JOIN A PUNK BAND.

If Stanley Kubrick dressed as Velma, he'd have perfected the costume. This is what Alan Smithee dressed as Velma would look like.

No indication of the big Criterion sale starting today, @haggischomper.bsky.social . Indications are good Kubrick Box Release Day will coincide with Sale Day. FINGERS CROSSED!

I SAID CONSUMMATE Vs! Just look at the MAJESTY of this mug!

Amazon has obviously shifted a large portion of its deliveries in my locality from USPS to its own delivery service and let me tell you - by comparison, Amazon delivery sucks ass.

Had a bunch of dead outlets on an otherwise live circuit in my garage and I thought I'd have to track down a short or blown receptacle somewhere, but I discovered the culprit was a hidden rogue light switch that had gotten accidentally flipped off. Easiest electrical repair EVER. 😆

Someone just said I look like Christopher Lee and I was like, "No, motherfucker - I look like Marc Maron."

You know when morale will reach its peak. ...mere hours after his marriage to Smilin' Natalie.

My fake FB profile's "Memories" tab is giving big time @maggiewestrum.bsky.social vibes!

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

If only more American mayors and governors spoke with this clarity and force.

This is almost exactly what I say to my students. I don't have any use for your essays! You have use for your essays!

Required viewing tonight:

This is the worst news.

A University Administrator with principled courage? Unicorns are less rare.

I've been doing this every week for 14 years - it's called Pub Quiz night.

Someone posted a 1988 Volvo 240 with a 5 speed manual on FB for an affordable price and I am so upset that I had to spend that money fixing my garage roof this fall. I'll be taking it out on the shingles I have to install after work.

Just saw an ad that exclaimed, "AI Can't Make Plasma, So We Need Donors Like You!" and I think we can all see where this is headed.

WHAT DO YOU WANT? IN-FORMATION. YOU WON'T GET IT! BY HOOK OR BY CROOK, WE *WILL*.

Not if the CEOs get what they deserve, it won't.

I *revelled* in reading Hamlet aloud w/ my classes. A few students were annoyed - "Why are you making us read this before class if we're just gonna read it in class?" - and some hated stumbling through it, but most got a *lot* out of it. Much easier to answer critical questions w/ oral reading.
