So, in Star Trek: Discovery, Elon Musk is mentioned as a historical figure alongside the Wright brothers to be remembered. That sure as fuck didn't age well.

Current read is Camp Damascas by @chucktingle.bsky.social, and it's scary, tense, and so enjoyable. Gives me flashbacks to my time as a teenager at Camp Alabama in NW Louisiana.

That's why I'm doing a rewatch of MST3K. Today's episode: "The Giant Spider Invasion" with a parody of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and Tom Servo bellowing "Jeeeedddd!".

Fuck @amyklobuchar.com, you are blinded by senate “congeniality”, decorum and fear of reelection that you are going to pussy out and collaborate with the republicans.

During the Superb Owl, I like to lurk in a right-wing bulletin board and chortle at the melt of the white supremacist posts. "Woke" commercials, "woke" public service announcements, NFL is "woke" for saying "Choose Love", "why do so many commercials have Black people in them?".

One of the things I despise about Trump is how he has to turn around his "executive orders" and show his signature, like a five-year-old shows their parents their drawing of a cat.

Finished an Australian mystery/sci-fi series “The Kettering Incident” set in Tasmania. I only know about Tasmania from the Tasmanian Devil cartoon. It’s quite lovely. The series was a good watch, although I hope season 2 is in the works.

So, @abbyphillip.bsky.social just did a “Jim looks at the camera” when Scott Jennings just let loose with one of his idiotic, Trump-fluffer statements. I love it.

The bow on top would be if there is a sign at the entrance that says "Work Makes One Free".

Thoroughly enjoyed BBC’s “The Jetty”, a tight, well-done 4-episode mystery set in Lancashire.

Musk didn’t mean to give a nazi salute; he simply couldn’t control his mechanical arm, like Dr. Strangelove.

Our walk today was on a path through a snow-covered cemetery. I noticed cross-country ski tracks on the snow over the graves, which is not cool. I'd like to think the ghosts did something harmless but annoying to the skier(s) like hiding their car keys.

God, it's a sad day when it is a victory for Trump's designee for the EPA head to say "climate change is real".

Don't you dare turn your eyes away from history, even the awful, scary parts. If you don't watch it with your own eyes, you rely on others to tell you what you saw. We must all bear witness to what's coming.

CNN is nothing more than professional wrestling. Scott Jennings might as well be Bobby “The Brain” Heenan on segments featuring him. How far you’ve fallen, CNN.

Saw this on our walk today by the river. Looks like someone is a fan of our 40th president.

My dog must intently sniff and examine every storm drain grate we pass on our walk. Perhaps she's looking for a clown and a voice saying "We all float down here, L'Rell".

It's going to be so horrible after January 20th. My doomsday imagination is contemplating how bad. DOOMSDAY IMAGINATION VOICE: Military parade. ME: Fuck.

After my haircut, I couldn’t decide whether to tell my barber “Take care” or “Have a good day”, so I told him “Take a good day”, and now I’m looking for a 20-foot snowbank to throw myself into.

On our walk this morning, saw this bald eagle just chilling out downtown by the river (but not in a van).

Beautiful cold morning sitting by the Snake River enjoying coffee. Not long now until it freezes over and I’ll be taking my coffee indoors.

Biden is totally without any fucks to give, and I’m here for it. I hope he next commutes the federal death row inmates to life without parole. Trump and his ilk are giddy at the prospect of killing people.

The mailman has to be the most satisfying experience for a dog. An intruder encroaches on their territory. They bark, the intruder leaves. "See, I did my job and I did it well. Treat, please."

Buffy/Angel rewatch. Star Trek's @realtoddstashwick.bsky.social had a twofer: He was a demon on Angel, and a demon on Buffy. His Angel demon, Vocah, had a plain, boring black cape/hoodie. His Buffy demon, M'Fashnik, however, had a smokin' maroon leather jacket, proving some demons have style.
