Just watched episode 6 of Squid Game. The one where they play marbles. I’m crying.

Aging means I have to pee at a greater frequency, but I won’t get up until it’s an emergency situation.

On Twitter, I hardly ever posted and had like five followers. Here I hardly ever post and feel very popular. It is much nicer.

TBH, I liked the BCS fine. The BCA too. All the bowls honoring ancient conference contracts and then voting was alright. The playoffs have sucked the fun out of college football.

Ready for early onset diabetes. Bring on the holidays!

Midnight Run and Planes, Trains and Automobiles prove that any movie where you have to change transportation a lot is entertaining.

Now that the second gilded age is official, any good ideas for gilded age parties? I was thinking cake pops where the cake spheres were oligarch heads. Bezos would be easy. A good baking flourish would be to make them too rich to enjoy properly.

I’m worried that using the internet to organize would give people in power time to organize a reaction. Also concerned the efficacy of driving all over for 6 months and handing out flyers.

There’s a finite chance I will lose my job due to federal budgetary decisions. If I do, I’m thinking of driving all over my state and organizing a general strike. We still have federal min. wage, complete abortion ban, no legal pot, no guaranteed sick leave. Medium sized state.
