Sure, what's one more? Mets baseball, hard rock and heavy metal, GI Joe, pinball, cats...

Republicans in Congress: what is it that the Drump administration (or Russia) has on you? Go ahead, tell us. Some of us might be willing to look past insider trading, a sex scandal, maybe even a little murder! But grow a spine and actually vote to ensure our rights and well-being are locked in.

I rode the back of the bus. I buried Dr. King. You want me to participate in your little hate-a-thon against some other group? Kindly kiss my black ass.

Listening to my old wrestling entrance song hits a lot better when I don't have to worry about what to do on stage, trying not to fall off the ramp, or how the crowd is reacting (tepid). The Wildhearts - Suckerpunch youtu.be/2f3WXbrtZ_0?...

My wife isn't familiar with Wallace and Gromit and punched out early after I put on Vengeance Most Fowl. She doesn't like how Wallace treats his dog like an afterthought. 🤦‍♂️

Had a Cybertruck behind me for most of my drive yesterday and I noticed the driver was wearing a face mask. I don't judge people who wear a mask in the car (because I'm not an asshole), but I'm surprised Elon didn't put tech in there to gas the driver if it senses a mask.

And they said Joe had cognitive issues? By "they," I mean people on the home team, too.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

In light of current events, I think it's worth keeping tabs on mediagazer.com as it aggregates media news from all corners of the internet.

New Jersey vinyl and CD folks, Scotti's Records in downtown Summit is calling it a day soon. Come by and show your support over their final days. www.facebook.com/share/p/18TD...

Nevermind David Lee Roth scat-talking his way through the hits, but Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini playing Ratt songs together at M3 is the bigger surprise. I thought Warren was done performing live. Ratt seems to be their own worst enemy but I'm curious to see if this leads to anything.

No way was Ichiro going to the HOF unanimously like he deserved. Baseball voters, American citizens, they've both shown their asses years ago.

Do I start putting Donnie Dummy "I did that" stickers on the cash registers at local pharmacies? Gas pumps? Hen houses?

If Elon Musk is the gamer he says he is, he must have ten thousand different heroic victory poses in that hateful little brain of his to pull from. Why a Nazi salute? I guess his uniform was at the dry cleaners. No excusing racist behavior from a racist who happened to be in his own element.

Whether or not I'm at work tomorrow, I plan on keeping the MST3K Twitch channel on all day so I can occupy my mind on something fun rather than *gestures wildly*

I have a source in Washington who says anyone wanting to get inside the Capital One Arena for the event on Monday should be advised the building has terrific heat. The best. So you should dress light because no one wants you to pass out due to extreme heat or dehydration. Line-up starts at 2AM.

Release them in wide widths (2E and 4E) or don't bother at all. @brooksrunning.bsky.social www.fastcompany.com/91259958/bro...

Thank you, President Biden.

Today is (was) National Pastrami Day and I was too excited to take a photo of my lunch. So accept this other food item that I am also excited about, Reeses Red Velvet. No doubt this is even more artificially flavored than the regular Reeses, but I'm still excited to try it.

I've been a pro wrestling fan for almost 30 years, so it surprises me to still find new impossibly dumb takes beyond the typical AEW vs. WWE stuff.

Senator (and my mayor) Paul Sarlo must be bored. And stupid. Did you run out of additional space for even more luxury condos and townhouses at the dump now known as Wesmont?

Taking every fiber of my being to not jump on this pastrami promotion on Goldbelly & order from Langer's Deli in LA. Two pounds of meat, a rye loaf, and bottle of mustard, all for $150. And I'm the only one in the house who eats meat. 😔

No, honey, a used, first-generation Qi wireless charger (without the micro-USB power adapter) is not something people want to buy in 2025.

Cats are life

I still call it the Bergen Mall, you think I’m gonna say Gulf of America?

I seem to have slept on the band Death. Death metal isn't one of my preferred genres but it's a fantastic way to power through the more defeating moments at work. And Death rules at that.

Woke up to 18 notifications and thought I went viral. Nope, just a spammer liking all my posts (I assume to drum up their own). 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you plan on buying that Rated R Ledgend shirt that Adam Copeland is wearing, please just send me $34.99 instead.

Hey shitasses, go watch Reservation Dogs on Hulu if you haven't already.

We wanted to understand the economic rationale for buying Greenland. So we talked to three unvaccinated UFC fans at a Jersey Mike's in Toms River.

Mark Zuckerberg is the father of Sonic the Hedgehog's baby.

Emos finally have a hair salon just for them

Neighbors can't be bothered to put lids on their recycling cans even with the wind, so I can't wait to return the bottles on my lawn tomorrow to their ancestors (everyone else's front yard)

I need to do better in posting here. I'll try. Now playing: The Wildhearts - PHUQ A desert island album for me.

Boston accent is not sexy at all. I don't know what the Mississippi or Hawaiian accents are, but seeing Mississippi over Hawaii in anything feels wrong.

I love that my friend's shared post about the Norovirus was followed in my feed by a post about headphones called DUDU.

I have a reminder on my phone to have vanilla bean ice cream tonight, and I don't remember why or when I set that. Is there a holiday or commemoration or something?

Happy Hanukkah from Alex and Valerie

Is today the perfect day to waste time with my company's IT department fumbling my laptop again? I enjoy not working, but I'd rather waste my time on my terms, which is playing Balatro at my desk and getting through my new metal albums from the other day.

Over on Threads, I'm unabashedly a CD Guy. And a Hair Metal Guy (also unabashedly). I asked what people's favorite acquisition was for 2024. Mine is this sealed CD longbox of Warrant's Cherry Pie that I found this past September. CD collectors, what's yours?
