You're getting more spam calls on your mobile, despite keeping your protection up to date. You're getting more digital spam in its various forms - emails, texts, DMs, etc. It's because the US no longer has a functional FTC or FCC.

It’s time to eliminate the CAN-SPAM exemption for political advertising.

@nytimes.com - I want an offer that lets me add four. Not three. Because that's how many people are in my family. I don't want it with chunks withheld - Sports, Puzzles, Cooking. I want it all. Price that out instead of offering to upgrade me to something that doesn't work for us.

There a dozens of bars in the US that are called The Village Idiot. Each thought it was independently clever.

Always a tinge of sadness on Labor Day when I have to be serious and put the doors and top back on the Jeep.

About to take down this Flock camera with an angle grinder. Wish me luck.

We have more tomatoes than I can reliably give away. So I’m having a BLT or a plate of sliced tomatoes with balsamic every day for lunch.

Leading a pointless crusade to put more of these in circulation because most people under 30 think they’re fake. #chaoticgood

I am allowed to sit in my pajamas and slippers on Christmas Eve and listen to The Cars.

Happy Epstein Files Day to all who celebrate. How shall we wag the dog today? * Armed conflict with Venezuela * Alien invasion (aliens eat bald eagles and poop fentanyl) * 600% decrease in affordability * All of the above

Clean the snow off your car! No, not you. You’re special.

I’m tired. I’ve been tired of listening to Christmas music since Thanksgiving. I’ve been tired of maxxed out credit since the pandemic. I’ve been tired of structured bullshit weekend activities since I became a parent. But most of all, I’m tired of knowing it’s all just going to get worse.

I will place him in an exalted spot in my office, as a reminder to put a glide in one’s stride and a dip in one’s hip. #MakeMyFunkthePFunk

My swiss cheese was cut by AI. No human cuts the cheese this way.

From White Castle to the Nile.

Experimenting with breakfast sandwiches, part 148. Toasted short hero bread. Four scrambled eggs with fresh garden peppers. Three slices each of bacon and American cheese. Hold the ketchup. Divine.
