Slippin’ rippin’ dang fang rotten zarg barg-a-ding dong! You're going out to do some shooting at the Botanical Gardens on a Friday night! The Gardens are always beautiful at night, and you haven't done any shooting much in a couple weeks. You park, you grab your camera, you turn it on... ...but it…

I don’t think this is exactly what’s going on, or all that’s going on. It’s not that Republicans are constructing an elaborate psychological defense against evidence that Trump is a rapist. It’s that they like that he’s a rapist, and they like rape: it enacts the power of the strong over the weak.

A Theft of Sundays This week's Sunday Stealing quiz is pretty straight-forward stuff about "adulting". (And honestly? I have to conclude that at 55 I'm still not that good at adulting, so maybe it's just not gonna happen.) The Grown Up Meme 1. Do you have a college degree? Yes! B.A. in Philosophy…

To the person in East Aurora who stopped IN THE ROUNDABOUT and started waving for people to enter: You are what is wrong with the world and you need to reflect on your misdeeds for a VERY long time.

name a non-LotR character who is a cool and good person but would nevertheless set land speed records for getting fucked up by the One Ring

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage, of a constant belief that life is a zero-sum game. But nothing flourishes in that world." — @snipy.bsky.social

Tuesday Tones (Saturday edition) Oof, that was a week. Just busy as shit, and The Wife got sick. (She's on the mend, we'll all be fine, last night I loaded her up with Hot and Sour Soup and her favorite Curry Chicken and she even had some of my Pad Thai.) The week was obnoxious enough that I…

You, but no face. (Prompt swiped from Instagram. Yes, I need to generate newer pie-in-the-face content.)

There is zero chance I'm even AT a dinner where anything remotely like this is an option.

[Connery voice] Ahhh, JesusWeen! Hey Trebek, that reminds me of a time when your mother and I--

“I honestly don’t know what the hell we’re doing here.” –President Josiah Bartlet, “A Proportional Response” We live in a country where people who survived school shootings in their youths are now coaching their children through school shootings. If this wasn't the country we wanted, it wouldn't…

it’s really telling how Tommy refuses, even when pushed, to say why he wants El-Sayed to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood even though everyone in the room knows the reason these guys are almost all cowards in person

Meanwhile, sick gun nuts are practically CHEERING about this event because FINALLY there's an event that supports their "Good guy with a gun" wish fantasy.

Your Humble Narrator, a longhaired bearded man in a blue denim shirt under blue denim bib overalls, getting hit in the face with a coconut cream pie. The caption is an admonition to do the silly stuff, because nobody wishes they'd been LESS silly, late in life!

EVERY L-mount lens. All of 'em.

Something for Thursday Some weeks I know what I want to feature here. Other weeks, not so much, so I do other things, like what I did today: On my way home from work I did not listen to a podcast, but rather played WNED Classical (which isn't actually called that anymore, now it's BTPM Classical,…

Let's go, Sam Forstag! That's how you stand up for trans people on the national stage. If congressional candidates in western Montana—one of the most competitive House races in the entire country—can stand up for trans folks in every aspect of our lives, democrats everywhere should take note.

Tuesday Tones Continuing a look at autumnal music, we have today a symphony by a 19th century composer whose work was highly regarded in his day but who is mostly forgotten now. Swiss composer Joachim Raff lived for 60 years, 1822 to 1882, and he was very prolific and popular during his lifetime.…

At some point I realized I didn't care much about sports back then, and my friends and classmates weren't much into the same things as me (or if they were, the intensity wasn't there).

All the dopes in the "Geez I dunno if Trump should be impeached" chattering coward class should maybe consider the idea of allowing a sitting President to act like this, over and over, with no repercussions.

Sunday Stealing, Monday edition This week's quiz has no theme, so I'm not even going to post it on Sunday! So there! 1. What was the last gift you received? The Daughter gave me a birthday present: a 12-inch record that had been etched out with Star Wars designs. It's really cool! I need to figure…

[Whispers] I've been using LibreOffice for years....

As I note every time I see this strip, my life desperately needs a Pie Fight button! (Cul De Sac is such a great strip.)

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

“Sometimes I just sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits” The post title is from a poster that hung on the wall of the Band Room when I was in high school. I think the animal pictured was a monkey or an orangutan or something of the ape variety...I could look it up, but it doesn't matter. What…

I'm always flummoxed by this. I have never once had any major issue with managing my overalls in the bathroom. In fact, I find them easier to deal with than regular pants with belts. Doubly so at work, when I usually have tools and stuff on me that add annoying weight to my pockets.

I suppose Doug Ford is a good reminder that electoral malpractice isn't just something that the American people do.

Oooh! Another ghost.io user! Check them out, I've been following them for...quite a while, now. I don't even remember which platform first, tbh!

Something for Thursday Composer George Fenton has died. He was a prolific film composer, and he was one of those guys whose work is good and yet whose work I have never really explored deeply except for seeing quite a few of the movies he scored. That's more on me than a statement on him;…

If you wanted someone to get to know you, what horror movie would you show them?

Just another day in the Presidency as directed by Fellini.

Bury me at Castle Aaaagggggggghhhhhhhhh

The Moon and Jupiter, as imaged by noted astrophotographer...me! Using very high tech (my phone) in a careful and meticulous composition ("Whoa, look at that! [Click])

“Thanks a lot, King!” says I, in a manner well-bred….

Tuesday Tones More autumn music today. My old friend Robert would have loved this one...and actually, I'm sure he did. Gerald Finzi was one of his favorite composers, and Finzi did not have a large output, by any means. He was more prolific as a choral and vocal composer, but he did produce a…

Hmmm. I'm not sure if a show has ever descended into badness SO completely that it outshadowed the parts of the show I loved, but CASTLE sure got close. Comics, though? I will never forgive SAGA for how shitty it got by the time I stopped reading it.
