The ultimate aging myself post: I used to subscribe to Entertainment Weekly and I read about the death of Jeff Buckley. I was like who's Jeff Buckley? So I went down to Circuit City and bought his CD.

I don't know why I bother getting "breaking news" notifications on my phone. I just swipe about 98% of them away without even looking.

It was good. But it was almost too serious. I'd grown accustomed to the dark humor but the finale seemed to forget about the humor part. I still enjoyed it though.

About to finally watch the season finale of The White Lotus. Will report back in about 90 minutes.

"Madam Press Secretary, I think I speak for everyone here when I say Dear Leader has wrapped the entire nation in his warm embrace and I've never felt this safe and secure before. May I kiss your hand?"

Whenever a right-winger calls me a snowflake I crack open an ice cold Bud Light.

Simon & Garfalafel

It's wild how just a few days ago all the major news outlets were running stories on how much money the ultra-wealthy were losing during this market crash and now they're just quietly admitting those same people are actually making out like bandits.

I think this is going to be the weekend. I think this is the weekend I will finally try making Jambalaya.

You know you live in a small town when you try and tell someone where you're from by naming the closest bigger town and they still look at you blankly.

Waiting for this administration to announce the creation of free trade schools to teach us all how to repair robots.

Fun Fact: America can't even keep poop out of butter.

AOC is trying to make Trump's obviously corrupt and illegal market manipulation a thing, and good for her, but the problem is too many Congressional Dems probably made out like bandits when Trump told everyone to buy.

BREAKING: Trump to put China on Double Secret Probation.

FINALLY. Trump's newest Executive Order demands Grape Nuts cereal to start including grapes and nuts.

Enjoying what I wrote at the time. The next day rereading what I wrote

Barbie went to shake his hand and was immediately called for a flagrant foul.

Trump had a reality show where he had D-list celebrities start competing lemonade stands. I can't believe this experience didn't translate to global economics.

How soon until he's recommending Airborne to treat pneumonia?

Trump keeps talking about the good old days of the early 20th century. Have any working class Trump supporters bothered to look and see what life was like for workers in the early 20th century?

Trump voters were convinced their leader was going to end human trafficking. Now he's peddling in it.

Found a publishing website that has monthly submissions for 500 words or less horror stories and I thought wow I'm gonna do that! Holy shit writing a story that short is REALLY HARD. I got nothing!

To me Musk speaking out against the Trump tariffs is just a man realizing he's on a sinking ship.

BREAKING: Trump's alma mater, The Wharton School of Business, has issued a formal apology.

We are all Panicans. Because we're being led by a fucking idiot.

Not sure why right-wingers are okay with ICE agents masking in public.
