Yeah, this begs to be written. So I'm writing it.

I have @greatdismal.bsky.social to thank for pattern-recognizing International Klein Blue when I see it. (Or maybe that's just my confirmation bias! Pattern recognition is a cruel mistress.)

The effing New York Times has discovered that I have a Times subscription and read the Times on multiple devices. (Pro tip: I own multiple devices.) I think the New York Times can go eff itself today. This is a dumbass move, New York Times. *Are you trying to make me cut you off?*

@emilynussbaum.bsky.social I thought it was "give yourself over to absolute pleasure," not "ultimate pleasure"! But then I really know the lyrics only from the film and the original stage album from the 1970s. Also, never been to Studio 54--which I confess is an oversight.

I'm a big fan of STARFLEET ACADEMY, not least for this aspect of it.

If you're in the DC area, and you know kids who could use some water-safety training in advance of summer swimming season, here's an upcoming water-safety event at Howard University.

Talk about coincidence! Guess who's being polled to be a Nielsen viewer! Yeah, it's me. Maybe I'll get to fill out the survey to say that I watch each episode of STARFLEET ACADEMY and DISCOVERY at least three times!

Excelente. Leí esa historia antes de responder. ¿Leíste el artículo del Times hasta el final? Te daré un poco de contexto: el apoyo de Bush a una "vía a la ciudadanía" para inmigrantes indocumentados (la legislación más inclusiva del Senado). Mira la captura de pantalla.

By sheer coincidence, "we're sorry to see you go" was also my message to the Washington Post.

I just-realized that all the guys who are review-bombing STARFLEET ACADEMY are also review-fluffing MELANIA.

When I finally had a moment to look at the paper, I got this:

Hegseth and the Fog of War Fighters is the name of my next band.

C’mon, it’s plainly unfair to label Bovino a Nazi just because his barber and tailor are Nazis.

Half a century ago, sometime close to my 19th birthday, I decided to, uh, cultivate the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" cult-film status as a way to avoid too much studying or sleeping.

Google Maps captured President Trump’s destruction of the East Wing after he piloted his terroristic ego into it.

I don't think I projected this bit.

It's probably a sign of the lawyer in me, but I actually do research my jokes as I write them.

I still remember a lot from Sunday School (stmarks-houston.org), which can be helpful in assessing pronunciamento cheese on Twitter.

I wanted to make a joke about this, but couldn't bring myself to engage in Homan Trafficking.

Cerritos and the Three Titans is the name of my new band.

I don't know. It looks more like a bad drawing of the Woolworth Building than like a bad drawing of the Empire State Building.

Trump's alleged drawing (in marker) of the Empire State Building.

So unexpected to come in here just to wash my hands, only to find that the person ahead of me neglected to flush you down.

No, really, this guy wrote a series of skeets to explain to me how social media work. (Well, he says "social media works.") Just preserving this for the refs.

Literally just read the words I wrote (screenshot). Nothing in the Constitution *requires* that prisoners be used for labor. What this language in the 13th reflects is the expectation (in the 1860s) that if you were lawfully imprisoned you could be required to do involuntary labor.
