I want Weird Al to make a parody of Bad Idea Right about the 2024 election

Obituaries keep referring to Alex Zanardi, but to me he will always be the man who exemplified the peak of CART racing, which open wheel in America hasn’t matched since. Very saddened by his loss.

God, I hate Black Friday

My concerts this year— Phish, Ministry, Oasis, Garbage. 1995 me would be thrilled (though a little surprised at Phish)

Robotaxis, robot axis

Peace through not attacking other countries

Remember when Mitt Romney was a laughing stock because of “binders full of women”?

Many people remember the farce that was “freedom fries” but we don’t seem to talk about the origin of that foolishness as much. French pm Jacques Chirac opposed the war vocally, so supporters of the war started disavowing French things including the incorrectly named fries. We need a Chirac now

Where is our Jacques Chirac?

This is a bad day

There is still time to celebrate Karnovember. Remember he’s the reason for the season #karnov

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
