My fave forecast by a weatherman from a local channel several years ago who had given up on life due to a bad divorce from a cheating wife: *waving vaguely at weather map* "It may or may not be raining, depending on where you are. I don't give a fuck." He then walked off-set and into history.

I just got blocked from accessing my DMs by a demand to verify my age by KWS thru Bluesky. Is this legit? They're asking for a lot of personal info.

When I find interesting new items at the grocery store, I might get one to try it. But I wish I had grabbed 4 or 5 of these Skittles Pop'd Freeze-Dried candy pouches because they are SO DANG GOOD! I'm plowing through them like crazy, already planning a trip tomorrow to nab as many as I can find!

Little round candies of Skittles Pop'd Freeze-Dried candy, in a white bowl. Candies are green (lime), red (cherry), purple (grape), orange (orange) and yellow (lemon), with white freeze-dried sweets inside.

I wrote an inconsequential skeet last night, which got a total of one like. This morning, I noticed that single like had been retracted, leaving me, er, unliked. Thanks, person who made me feel at least SOMEBODY saw me, then snatched it back. You really made my day.

Why didn't anyone TELL me there are TWO 2026 films titled "The Odyssey" -- Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster epic and a lower-budget adaptation by The Asylum -- before I wasted my entire evening watching the crappy one and muttering angily, "THIS is what everybody's been raving about?!"

I dreamed last night about a self-contained, hybrid physical/digital book published in 1964 (not a typo) called THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE BEATLES. Beyond the filled pages, it contained many blank pages that, line by line, would be filled in just AS THE EVENTS WERE HAPPENING.

I didn't think it was possible to make a DUMB AND DUMBER-type movie in a fantasy setting, but MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE managed to do it. I made it halfway through before my eyes rolling back in my head so often gave me a migraine. Hard pass.

I love K-dramas, especially ones with prince/ceo falls for fiesty, independent lower-caste woman, but I find it amazing how open they are about incorporating sponsors in their plots. One had chars constantly eating Subway takeout; another had chars eating or offering others Kopiko energy chocolate.

Who knew that Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo have put out a new movie called PICKLEBALL PETE? And, yes, it's as bad as you think. It's what I call a DUMB-AND-DUMBER-type movie with a ridiculous plot, unfunny jokes and not a lot of acting going on. Ugh.

Con. Joyce Beatty was on The Last Word tonight and once again said that the court had given the Kennedy Center until January 31 to remove the tarps. She meant JULY 31. At least Jonathan Capeheart called her out on it. Rachel didn't when she said it TWICE on her show. Beatty's 76; making mistakes.

Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, in an interview on Rachel Maddow last night, twice said January 12 was the deadline for Trump's name to be removed from all things Kennedy Center. I thought it was JUNE 12, but Rachel didn't correct her either time. Am I wrong on the deadline date?

Hey, @hhs761.bsky.social, go ahead and block me for saying you take beautiful waterfall pics, but that your alt text, which only lists the pics' locations and not what they're pics OF, sucks. Both things are still true. You snowflake.

@hhs761.bsky.social Your waterfall pics are gorgeous, but your 'alt text' sucks. Try this: close your eyes & imagine someone is handing you pics: "I took this at coordinates 189.46.

YOU'RE KILLING ME, the new Brooke Shields-led crime drama where she's an older mystery writer who teams up with a rolls-her-eyes-at-the-Boomer podcaster, is formulaic but fun, solving murders in a small town called Founder's Cove. It is literally MURDER, SHE WROTE for the Gen X/Gen Z crowd.

I would've put this on his post, but no comments allowed. Noel Caster's @noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social latest Substack has a summary that makes it sound like it's about Trump's PHYSICAL health, but beyond barely mentioning bruises, it's all about his MENTAL health, listing crazy shit he's done.

On K-drama PERFECT CROWN, there is a Queen Mother, who is addressed (phonetically, since I don't speak Korean) as "Beh-beh Mah Mah" (Your Majesty). But to my untrained ear, the mother of the 8-yr-old child king is called "Baby Mama" which, y'know, kinda fits. And makes me smile every time I hear it.

Okay, Bluesky, what's going on? I see a blue '30+' on my notif bell, and wonder what the hell I said to engender such a big response. Then I click on my notifs and there's not a SINGLE NEW NOTIF anywhere to be seen. And the blue number disappered, too. Anyone else experiencing this glitch?

I was trying to remember the cigarettes my mom smoked in the '70s. I could remember the carton was sky blue with clouds & came with a strip of coupons you could redeem for stuff, but not the name. Surprisingly, the Ky. Historical Society had a pic: Belair! Wonder why it came mind? Mom haunting me?

It's astonishing how many k-dramas and animes have the word 'witch' in their titles, yet contain no witches, no witchcraft, and nothing supernatural at all. They usually center around an introverted woman who a guy must get to know, draw out of her shell and fall in love with. I want witchiness!

My pup Little frequently dreams--with audio. More times than I can count, I've awakened in the dark of night to SOUNDS emanating from under the covers: wails, moans, whimpers, barks loud and soft, the kuh-kuh-kuh of a car that won't start, choking, gagging, loud-soft-loud sirens and more. Sigh. 🐶
