I asked Siri to play Death Cab for Cutie and I don’t know what she heard but she asked if I wanted her to call Emergency Services or someone I trust. AI ain’t replacing important humans anytime soon, folks.

Boosting because media coverage was thin. Credit where it’s due: leadership actually leading.

My feed is half “Democrats have no power, what do you expect them to DO???” and half “John Fetterman has broken a tie to appoint P. Diddy head of the newly-created Department of Kitten Mulching”.

Only thing missing from the metaphor is the firefighters asking if they can count on me to chip in $5 to help them fight fires.

Schiff has been good on a lot of things, but voting for Duffy was obviously a bad idea at the time and looks even worse now.

On a trivia show this morning they asked the max word score in Boggle. Real ones heard it from the Beastie Boys: I’m the king of Boggle There is none higher I get eleven points For the word “quagmire”

This is correct. Express Lanes are a state of mind, not a number. I’d rather be behind someone with 20 items who’s locked in than someone with 10 who isn’t up to the task.

Chevy Chase turning out to be a tool was kind of expected. Bill Murray is a disappointment but not too big a surprise. From everything I’ve seen Martin Short is a pretty decent guy though. How are we feeling about Steve Martin?

If anyone needs a name for their Spanish-language White Zombie tribute band, “More Cuban Than Cuban” appears to be available.

Today I learned that one piece of spaghetti is called a spaghetto. Same for other pastas… raviolo, rigatono, whatever. Straight up doubled my Italian vocabulary.

Kenan Thompson has done solid comedy work for years. He deserves so much better than a commercial built around material like, “This dance video is going viral! But what SHOULD go viral are these great deals on used cars!”

Ads for gyms and personal trainers are everywhere because of the New Year, and it’s wild how aggro their branding has become. Everything is Overcome and Alpha and Dominate this or that. If you need an enemy or imaginary hater to get motivated to get on the treadmill maybe think about why that is.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

I couldn’t host a game show mainly because I’m shit at small talk with strangers but I would also have words for people who give terrible answers. “In the category International Cities, your answer is Florida? Go sit in the corner.”

I read somewhere that RFK Jr wants to ban ads for prescription drugs, which would legit be a good thing even if he does it for bad reasons. But shady supplements are just as much of a mess, and he sure as hell isn’t going to crack down on the woo-woo snake oil industry. Those are his people.

I just recently found out the Hootie and the Blowfish line about the Dolphins making him cry is about the football team. I always thought he was losing his shit at Seaworld for some reason.

Phone companies stopped printing phone books in about 2010. Kids today will never understand why every locksmith and towing company is named like “AAA-1 Aardvark”.

Grabbed a couple of starter packs, and it is a great way to find interesting people. But following 200+ people even if they’re great is a biiit much. So it’s time to dial back the firehose a bit and unfollow a few.

If you’re due for any vaccinations maybe a good idea to move them up on the ol’ to-do list.
