On this 21st of September #EarthWindFire Day, here's a story: When the boy was 3, we were shopping in Trader Joe's. "September" came on; he knew it because it was in a movie he watched endlessly. He shouts "Time to dance!" and started grooving. He then looked at me and said, "Daddy, dance!" 1/3

So what was with all the hate and snarky comments about YESTERYEAR all over the Internetz a while back? I avoided them at the time not wanting to be spoilered but now I'm curious... I quite enjoyed it (and I'm not usually one for "book club picks" or even mainstream adult fiction...). 🤷‍♀️ #booksky

Really good chicken helmet. Best chicken helmet I’ve ever seen maybe.

If even one Democrat could say, in so many words, that he or she opposes transgender genocide and will fight it down to the knives, that would cool the temperature on this discussion so much. Just admit you see the problem, too. Just admit you care if we die.

Rewatching the classic -- some would say the GOAT --1985 music video for Take On Me by Aha, created solely by human artists integrating video with pencil work and wondering why all the youg'uns think AI is in any way essential to our lives. Too much hard work otherwise? Boo hoo.

Can. Not. Wait. Jessica Lange back as Fiona? Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates? JOHN EFFING WATERS? I’m fully expecting a glorious, entertaining mess. (And we deserve it after that non-entertaining mess last season.)

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

FWIW, my Anthropic settlement verification email only arrived a few minutes after 10pm today, and went to spam. So, a)the emails are still going out, and; b)check your spam filter!

Makes sense I guess. I was born in DE and currently live just a few miles from it. Fun quiz; interesting to see some options for terms and pronunciations that I've never heard in the wild!

Dialect map with shading. At top text says You talk most like someone from Delaware - about 56% of your answers match a typical resident.

Cities most and least like you. My "most similar" cities are Philly, Baltimore, and DC. Least similar are NOLA, Nashville, and Atlanta.

Okay, class counsel in Anthropic JUST filed a status report--it hasn't shown up on CourtListener yet, and PACER is being rude to me right now, but @deannachase.com sent it to me because she is absolutely lovely. I'm reading it now.

For some reason I just started thinking about how Howard Dean's political career was pretty much ended by a single over-enthusiastic scream....

Probably my second favorite (after RHPS) Tim Curry performance, brief though it was:

A scene from the American TV show Will and Grace. At left, John Cleese as Lyle Finster, center Tim Curry as Marion Finster, right Megan Mullally as Karen Walker.

Post a picture that should be an album cover.

Five kittens in various shades of gray and black. They are young enough to still have blue eyes, which appear quite googly and wild here. The front two basically look kind of insane or at least weird.
