[staggers in and faceplants] I hated pretty much every minute of the past two days, and I'm glad I went anyway.

I thought about staying with my parents Sunday night while traveling for funeral reasons, then I said no and booked myself a hotel room. My aunt and uncle have claim to the good spare bedroom and there's going to be so much Peopling. Having a fortress of solitude to retreat to is a gift to myself.

I have a fair number of things to do today, but I’m all out of willpower to do them before my weekend starts. Not that I’m looking forward to the weekend, since part of it’s going to involve traveling home for a funeral. Probably. Depends on what my uncle decides to do for arrangements.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

Pope Leo’s funniest moments are when he temporarily forgets that he is a global public figure being watched constantly and is simply Bob from Chicago quietly saying “what the fuck” over and over in his head without bothering to keep his face from showing it

NEW: A recent Census report claimed to uncover evidence of widespread noncitizen voting. Our investigation found serious flaws in its methodology -- and reveals that several of the report's authors have notable ties to the Trump admin, including one former DOGE operative:

An entire new vista of Planner Shenanigans has just unfolded itself to me: planner charms. (Not a Traveler's Notebook person, so I hadn't encountered this particular branch of accessorizing before. I am, pun fully intended, charmed.)

September: the season when the coming year's planners hit the shelves, whispering their blandishments to the unwary. "Buy me," they murmur, "buy me and I promise I will fix E v e r y t h i n g." In other news I definitely just dropped some money on 2027 planner paraphernalia, how are y'all doing?

Product gaps I do not understand: I can buy chocolate-covered pretzels and I can buy pretzel nuggets filled with peanut butter, but I cannot buy chocolate-covered pretzel nuggets filled with peanut butter. This seems like a grievous omission in pretzel innovation.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

I do this to myself, and every time I swear I won't do it ever again. And then I forget and my hubris gets the better of me and I do it again. ("It" in this case is consuming horror-based media in full daylight, forgetting that eventually, the sun goes down and I will experience Regret.)

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, in bed. A speech bubble coming from her days “sigh”.
The second panel again shows Sarah in bed with a speech bubble reading “the only thing I have the capacity to do today is rot”.
The third panel shows the same scene, but depicts a speech panel coming from out of frame. It says “nice”.
The fourth panel shows a cat, holding a pillow, coming into the frame. A speech bubble from the cat reads, “I am so in.”

The one really nice thing about having a car that's old enough to drink in the US is that my insurance premiums tend to go down, not up. (This post brought to you by the delightful surprise that I have overbudgeted for this year's insurance bills.)
