At this point my dad is in comfort care, and we are hoping to get him back home so that he and my Mom can have some time together. This might be the worst thing ever, I think. He has serious damage to his frontal lobe - at the very least, he would suffer severe personality changes.

my unpopular but accurate football opinion: We should not be glorifying and promoting a sport that routinely leaves its players with brain damage

This is utterly horrifying and should not be allowed to happen. No one deserves this.

Dream the other night - that I stole Dave Gahan's very fancy convertible classic car and drove it around. Got caught by the police, who handed me a paper bag that had signed pictures of the band in it. Turns out Dave was OK with the whole thing.

The world is falling apart, I feel like I might genuinely be losing my mind, Dad's headed to the ER because he fell in the parking lot of his assisted living facility... it just doesn't feel like things are getting better. Anywhere.

I've been anti-football for a while (sacrilege for a native Alabamian) because of CTE, which probably affected one of my younger brothers who died a decade ago. i think part of the reason it's been so consistently dismissed is that CTE victims are mostly Black men. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/u...

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.

Hey Seattle— right this moment you do not need to watch any of the videos or look for photos. Most likely you are not in a position where you need to listen to the scanner or constantly refresh news outlets. That stuff will be there later.

When the weather gets hot, please take special care for the goths in your life. With their floor-length coats, platform shoes, and velvet capes, it’s hard for them to thermoregulate as we do.

I am so late this month for this month's Rabbit Reminder! Any time after 12 am tonight, 1st thing you say out loud --"Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit" for good luck all month long. And sometimes your rabbits are someone else's good luck, and you catch luck another month bc of the rabbits a stranger says.
A nighttime graphic of three silhouettes of rabbits, with a starry night background, with a few fireflies, and gigantic full moon and some shooting stars.  under the rabbits is the text "rabbit rabbit rabbit" 

Sometimes it seems that there aren't enough rabbits in the world to fix the terrible, shitty, things that people are going through, but just think of how awful it might be if none of us did our rabbits? Sometimes our rabbits we whisper first thing on the first of the month are carried by the universe to someone who REALLY REALLY needs that luck. And we trust that the universe will reward us, when we need it, with rabbits from someone else. My father would say "it all comes out in the wash." 
So don't forget to say your rabbits.

One person says, "I got you this." Their partner replies, "You know I love flying stuff." The text reads: Happy Valentine's Day! Get them what they love: Flying stuff and a new fire extinguisher.
