THEY’RE EATING THE TRANSGENIC MICE!!

Ever been in a panic room? Buddy, I’ve panicked in every room I’ve ever been in.

I just subscribed to 5 Calls Newsletter! buttondown.com/5calls

Every rock band should be forced to have a song where they sing their name a la Bad Company.

Sometimes your soul just needs a balm. Little bit of trivia: that’s Carole King on piano. 🎧

@jessicajoy.bsky.social Surprising lack of content on your page. Really disappointing from a subscriber’s perspective.

I wonder if the representative from Louisiana supported conditions on hurricane aid.

My next read. Gift from my mother.

Probably the weirdest fact I know is that the Law & Order theme was played live every episode.

I am instantly consulted on this platform.

Today’s bit of joy. If I were making a autobiopic and introducing my mother, this might be the song. 🎧

A microwave that automatically knows when you type in ‘120’ whether you mean 80 seconds or 120 seconds.

I listened for 17,462 minutes in 2024. What about you? #SpotifyWrapped

@alyankovic.bsky.social How different do you think your life would be if you’d called yourself “Sexy Al” instead? Probably not that different.

If two midwestern tightrope walkers bump into each other while working that’s an Ope on a Rope.

My wife asked me to pick up a bottle of vanilla at the store and even described it and where it’d be and I DID NOT WATCH TOM HANKS DOWN A BOTTLE OF VANILLA AND BACKHAND MICHAEL J. FOX NOT TO KNOW WHAT VANILLA IS.

This wrecks me—every single time.

A bit of joy I stumbled on today. Can’t believe I haven’t come across his music before.

Now that we’ve moved to BlueSky it’s time to start the “This is Just to Say” parodies again. So funny, so cold.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Nancy Mace spent the entire day ranting about a trans woman member of Congress, who hasn't assaulted a soul, using the same bathroom as her. Not a peep about the guy credibly accused of paying for sex with a minor. Disgusting hypocrisy.

@kelliagodon.bsky.social Because I stumbled across your posting of ‘The Two-Headed Calf’ (which I’ve loved since first reading it), I offer this favorite.

“…no matter how dreary the situation is, and how difficult it may be, that the storm really doesn’t matter until the storm begins to get you down, so my advice to you…is that it’s rough and tough in this ghetto, a lot of funny stuff going down, but you gotta walk tall!, walk TALL!!, WALK TALL!!!”

Another bit of joy to share. I frequently listen to this while walking my dog. It feels like I’m centering myself when I do; something I very much needed (and still need) after the election.

It’s important for me (and I imagine many millions of us) to find joy where we can. This was my first little find today:
