I generally like living in a small state, but daaaamn, during election season it means countless political ads not only from you own State of VT, but ALSO from NH and NY (and all their candidates suck!)

Rainy day Friday.

A.I. Cultists: "A.I. will solve climate change in 5 years!" A.I. (3 years from now): "Climate change can be solved by entirely switching to renewable energy and unplugging all data centers... or... Building more data centers and deleting 90% of the human population. Hmm."

Really enjoyed the new Resident Evil movie. It has some really big jump scares and true creepiness, while still having just enough humor to keep it entertaining. That makes Zac Cregger 3 for 3.

The people who say, "government should be run like a business!" are always the ones who also don't want to pay any taxes. Thus it would seem they think businesses shouldn't charge much, if anything, for their products or services. Just a friendly reminder that Trump went bankrupt 6 times.

Hey, wait a minute... Wasn't Bono flying on his private jets to luxury resorts for self-satisfied summits with the Billionaire Class supposed to have solved all the world's problems by now? WTF Bono? WTF?

It kills me that it has become custom for people with window seats on planes to keep the shades down. Instead of staring down at the terrain, rivers & settlements we are flying over, and the monumental cloud formations, people are like, "the light makes it hard for me to see my phone screen."

Gonna start referring to Democrats who take anti-trans stances as “Biological Republicans”

When Donald JACKASS Trump finally ends up in jail for the rest of his life, let's only feed him dubious beef trimmings from Brazil. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/07/o...

Yesterday we said our final goodbyes to our dog Max. We adopted him as an elderly dog so we knew we wouldn't have him long. We hope we made him happy and felt loved the five months he spent with us. He was a good dog and we'll miss him.

I haven't cried at the passing of a celebrity since we lost David Bowie... But I am crying for Dolly. What a loss. What a life she had.

Glad to hear Disney is bringing back Dreamfinder, but I swear, if the revamp ends up being "Journey Into Imagination...presented by OpenAI," I'm going to start breaking shit. #D23 #Disney #NPH #AISlop #Epcot

Picked up my copy of THE HALLS OF THE DEAD by @smhallow.bsky.social today from my local independent bookstore . Can't wait to start reading it!

Ah, the joys of aging, when you can tweak a knee simply by turning around.

Can we all just start calling it the Injustice Department?

I just took our dog, Max, out for his before-bed walk. On the sidewalk I spotted a fox! And at the very moment I identified it as a fox, a shooting star fell in the sky just over its head! Now let's see if my fox-wish comes true...

Ramona thinks that International Cat Day means I should be shipping her somewhere International.

Ramona is sleepy, but she also wants to be ready in case lunch is served early.

Hey Streamers: when is one of you going to step up and give us a horror series based on Manly Wade Wellman's "Silver John" stories? A mix of Appalachian music and the occult, like Sinners did with the blues. #APPLE #NETFLIX #AMAZONPRIME #HORROR #MUSIC #ManlyWadeWellman

Ramona and Raleigh on the lookout this #Caturday

What does it say about me that I thought the most exciting thing in that World Cup halftime show was the Electric Mayhem performing Seven Nation Army?

From now on, I'm always going to emphasize Trump's middle name, just like he constantly does when mentioning Obama: Donald JACKASS Trump.

Face it. Ferris Bueller was an asshole.

Max doesn't seem to care about the World Cup.

Yeah, yeah, I'm good with paying a super-high Manhattan rent to live in a 37-story building that through sub-par engineering and/or construction practices had two support columns crumple. No problem. 🫣 Might as well just start tearing that building back down to the sub-basement.

Here’s the part we all want to know which is behind the paywall. You’re welcome.

Trump asks FIFA's Gianni Infantino to review the 2020 election results.

Had a great time at the Colonial Theater in Keene, NH seeing @pattonoswalt.bsky.social I don't think I'll be able to watch John Carpenter's Halloween the same way again.

Idk if SciAm allows a certain number of free reads/month or not, but if yes, this may be worth using up a freebie: www.scientificamerican.com/article/got-...

WTF @juliancastrotx.bsky.social is on Peter Thiel's invite-only, secret society Dialog group list? What a fucking disappointment.

Is it just me or is everyone's work days mostly made up of exclaiming, "Ah, Fuck!" as you suddenly remember some other random task that needs to be done immediately?

I think I recently said that listening to Dave Edmunds is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. And I was correct.

Since this year's celebrations have been so sullied, I suggest we circle back in 7 years and celebrate 250 Years of Freedom on September 3rd, 2033, the anniversary of the Treaty of Paris and the ending of the American Revolutionary War.

Raleigh on a hot #Caturday

Just a reminder: if you never fully deactivated your account on the Dead Bird site, this would be a good day to do so.

After all these years, I'm still pissed that the song WILD BOYS came out as a studio add-on to the live album ARENA instead on being on this album, SEVEN AND THE RAGGED TIGER.

So, we taxpayers could have saved a lot of money if Orange Grandpa had fallen asleep watching Game 3 in front of his Bedford TV instead of at MSG? The arena could have even thrown his pic up on the screen for people to boo at if that helped the toddler drift off at home.

Had a great time this weekend catching up with old friends at our Sarah Lawrence College 35th reunion.

These days, I take whatever little pleasures come my way. And today, it's all those fucking J6ers who thought they'd soon be flush with cash realizing their Orange King has fucked them again and there will be no illegal slush fund to pay them off. Priceless.

No better way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon than listening to Dave Edmunds.

Raleigh. #Caturday

Reposting this one given the Pearl Harbor story.
