Indiana smoking regulations are non-smoking in most areas but allowed in bars in the majority of counties, turning them into smoker's clubs. It's knocked me over several times just walking in the door. It's turning some bars into really wild, strange places again. 80's Clermont vibes.

In other news, the identity of Jack the Ripper was discovered. That's pretty amazing.

My resolution is to get away from Facebook. I love my friends, but I'm not sure it's a safe place to be.

The last two days have made me full of food love. Yesterday, it was an amazing home-cooked Italian meal with an all-day red sauce & meatballs that blew my mind. Today, it was Jamaican goat curry with rice and peas. Both meals were like hugs from Grandmas that have cooked for a lifetime.

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday!

Murder is wrong, but this event got us talking. It has yanked us up by the ear and forced us to evaluate our world philosophically. Will it affect systemic changes? Maybe. Our country is raging for socialized health care. It's too bad that the discussion had to be started by a bullet.

Here’s what we know so far about the shooting of the United Healthcare chief executive, Brian Thompson, outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel.

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll contribute to the global overdepletion of the ocean. So give him a salad, maybe.

This is huge. The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries 👇 www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/e...

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!! I'm still recovering from all the good food! No weirdness at all, and that's fantastic.

youtu.be/2PDPOgh3VXU?... Don't listen to people when they say new music isn't good. Organ Trio Jazz never gets old. Best half hour of music I've watched in a long time. Just spectacular.

I'm a Facebook refugee. It really is much nicer here. You have to build a giant firewall to keep the trolls out, and despite the tools they give you, you get shamed for being a proactive user. F*ck that noise.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

My following list is small, but it will grow. I don't like seeing the amount of outright bullying that happens unchecked on Facebook. The algorithm is flawed. It's full of ads, and it's meant to sow discord. Bluesky is just nicer.

Mister Po-tater hasn't snuggled me in a couple of days because Petey stole my attention. He's giving me extra special love before my gig in Bedford. What a sweet guy.

I'm slowly building a base here, but I'm left to post BS fart noises and clown honks on Facebook since the law of the land there is ad hominem word salad. I'm leaving piecemeal from Creepville, but I gotta say Bluesky is a superior experience.

All Petey wants to do is snuggle. He's the sweetest cat I've ever known.

It turns out the "F**k your feelings" crowd has a lot of feelings after getting dumped by friends, family, spouses, etc. Schadenfreude.

I had a chonky snuggles this morning. He's killing my productivity, but I'm the head foreman around here, so it's okay. ##misterpotater #chonk #luv

First post! Slowly getting my feet wet.
