Other than some outdated textbooks, I always pass my unwanted books along, rather than dumping them in the trash or recycling. About ten years ago, I made an exception for Scott Adams.

I'm too lazy to look up how to take a screenshot on this tablet, so my word for 2026 is.... AGAIN?

I take a small amount of comfort from the fact that while I know who this is about, I don't know (and don't want to know) any of the specifics.

Chiefs-Titans is the only game I can watch in the early window. I probably deserve that. #NFL

The #1 movie when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go. So I'm either going to be eaten by a shark, or narrowly avoid being eaten by a shark. That tracks.
A late scene from 1975's Jaws, with Chief Brody on the mast of the nearly-sunken Orca. He's ready to put a bullet into the oxygen tank in the shark's mouth.

It's been a couple of weeks. Let's see if I'm ready to deal with the political hot takes that sneak into my feed no matter how hard I try to keep them out. I'm just tired, boss.

One of my low-key hobbies is collecting cheap One Sheets and Lobby Cards for movies I've seen on MST3K. (emphasis on the cheap) I picked some beauties up at an antique show this weekend. First: The Killer Shrews! I guess the dogs covered in carpets didn't photograph well. #MST3K
Two lobby cards for the cheapo 1959 horror movie "The Killer Shrews."  In the top card, our tan-uniformed hero has someone slung over his shoulder. In the lower card, our hero and a few other characters kneel around a victim of those killer shrews. Both cards have "all that was left after.. THE KILLER SHREWS" on the right hand side, with a tentacle laying across a pink women's shoe below. The background is green.

I was 24 in 1989. IIRC, I had gone retro and was listening to "Who's Next" and the like for a couple of years.

It's been several years since the Chiefs offense was this much fun to watch. Amazing what a healthy recieving corps and finding a couple of guys who can actually play LT can do.

T-Rex: I replaced a deadbolt on my front door and it was actually really easy!

T-Rex: Then I replaced the kitchen faucet and THAT was a breeze too!T-Rex: I spent YEARS thinking these things were hard, but it turns out - nope! There's a whole UNIVERSE of easy-to-accomplish things, and I had NO IDEA.
T-Rex: THE END.Utahraptor: I tried to replace a bathroom faucet and it was a NIGHTMARE!
T-Rex: Oh no!

Utahraptor: Thing after thing went wrong! It was a nightmare from start to finish!!
T-Rex: So: there's ALSO a universe of hard-to-accomplish things, and it is impossible to know which is which until you start doing them.
T-Rex: Much to consider.T-Rex: Actually there wasn't THAT much to consider: the universe is a mystery and I'm out here exploring it!!
Off panel: Same, only I'M doing it while at the same time having a broken bathroom faucet back at home!
T-Rex: Neat!!

Centrist Dems would rather attract eight Republican voters and still lose, when they could move their policies about fifteen inches to the left and bring hundreds of thousands of disaffected voters to the polls and win. Billionaire money. It's a drug.

I don't think a defensive slugfest is what people wanted from UT-tOSU today, but who are we to question the wisdom of the football deities.

The real answer to "Why is Cincy-Nebraska in Kansas City?" is "Clark Hunt loooooves money." Especially a sellout game's worth of money that he doesn't have to share with the NFL #cfb
