The idea that someone's identity can or should be politicized is grotesque. And one of the most important things we can do is follow the Golden Rule. Oh, how did I put it in that one song? "Mind your business, clean things up, and get along."

... Eggers? Seriously? Okay, Henson Company, I'll allow it. For the moment. But be sure to remind him it's a movie for everyone... but especially for 10-16-year-old girls. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ja...

Great sadness. Feiffer was insanely talented. I'm disappointed that NPR didn't mention the 1980 movie Popeye. I love Feiffer's screenplay, which worked hard to emulate the original Thimble Theatre. Rest well, sir, and thanks. www.npr.org/2025/01/21/8...

I seriously want one of these. I am in no condition whatsoever to care for a living pet, and I have a Joy4All Labrador pup, which is pretty cool for a toy. But Jennie is on another level. Check out tombot.com . youtube.com/watch?v=lcL4...

Nearly everything I've posted here over the past several days has been political. I need a break. Fortunately, there are some awesome foodie videos I want to share with you. First, Bradley Robinson from Chudd's BBQ. youtu.be/ZWiA8qu1YEo?si=cM2r9tYa645…

I know it's not gonna happen. I know it. But wouldn't it be the COOLEST THING EVER if, say, around 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, Biden resigns, SWEARS IN Harris, and she drops, like, 35 executive orders that prevent the MAGA oligarchs from breaking America -- and has Felon 47 arrested for J6? Yeah. I know.

I find it hilarious and sobering that, to this day, people are surprised that Felon 47 is a con man, a malignant narcissist, and a cowardly, lying grifter. He's been frickin ANNOUNCING it for years. He's announcing it to this day. open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

It's a small thing, I suppose, but it shows what goes on in the marketing and outreach departments of some companies. I got an email from someplace called Petra Jobs dot com. Job recruiter. It said: 1/

Hey, gang! Sorry I haven't been anywhere near as active here as I thought I'd be. Although some of it is medical stuff. Pro tip: when you're bleeding from someplace you shouldn't be bleeding, don't futz around. Meantime, new music coming soon! Check either Patreon or Bandcamp later this weekend.

I couldn't get to WindyCon this year (which honks me off, I'm 0-3 for cons this year), but Dave the Tech Guy figured out how to do a streaming concert. Fun! Now I have to do it for my Patrons. Much is changing at Patreon. I think I'll be doing a lot of online stuff this week. So how are YOU doing?

Heh. I joined Bluesky nine months ago, then didn't say or do anything here until now . But it seems everyone is planting roots here, while prepping to bail out of FB. It's good to see so many of you here. I promise I'll post most days, and we'll see what good trouble we can get into together. Hugs!
