Bad week for troubled geniuses.

Yeah, it's a shame that anyone is focused on re-hashing Joe Biden's mental acuity in light of Trump's gross incompetence. But the news cycle gets hijacked every time a controversial book comes out; it just seems worse because one of the authors was Jake Tapper. It will be forgotten soon enough.

Anybody shaking their head about the Browns' 2025 draft should just remember 1987 and the "Mad Dog in a Meat Market."

I'm glad we have all this TV footage from the State of The Union Address. We'll have plenty of documentation on how these Republican Traitors, Criminals and Cowards stood up and cheered Trump on as he openly bragged about trying to destroy this country and spewed countless lies to America.

If MAGA thought it was fair to blame Joe Biden for every single bad thing that happened while he was in office, it's only fair to blame Trump for every single bad thing that has happened since January 20th.

Decided to watch Star Trek: Section 31. The plot is so predictable and formulaic...the characters are irritating...even the action scenes are tiresome.

My father's ancient Kodak 620 camera - which he always referred to as his "German Kodak"... followed us along on every vacation up until about 1970, when he purchased a new 35mm Minolta SLR.

This photo I took while leaving work about 10 years ago is how it feels here today. Damn, it's cold.

Dreaming of Summer is he…

OK. Waiting for The Golden Age to start....

Geez. Igbinosun is a penalty machine. Teams just heave it to whoever he is covering and wait for the flag.

Bluesky - please give us the option to mute RE-POSTS on accounts we are following. With some folks, it's like a tsunami.

Vikings came out and really got Poked In The Eye tonight.

In contrast to that giant 2-volume set, one of the tiniest books I own, but just as useful: "How To Draw Houses" by noted architectural illustrator Sidney R. Jones. #Architecture #Tudor

Among the favorite books I own is this 2-volume folio set of Garner & Stratton's "The Domestic Architecture of England During The Tudor Period." Truly a beautiful design; just 2 colors, gorgeous typography and precise drawings. Just love this stuff. #Architecture #Tudor

A tiny library, perhaps - but one that makes you believe you'll find something interesting on the shelves inside.

If you watched this show to learn your dance moves, then you know how to dance.

Getting to the point where every time I see someone post yet another Starter Pack with the same bunch of Resisters that everyone else has already posted - I'm clicking the 3 dots on the bottom and selecting "show less like this." I met my quota already.

Hard to escape from the world telling you everything is going to shit isn't it? Doom and gloom sells, gets you the engagement and generally is the shit people love to talk about. Outside of the Internet, everyone is just getting on with their lives. It's good to remind yourself of that.
