I saw this book and it was described as “a philosophical critique arguing that a technological-capitalist system is eroding human nature, spirituality, and the environment”. It has been interesting but HOLY FUCK does it take the most batshit hard right turn about halfway through #Booksky

Great, now the Red Wings are drafting kids out of a a magical land located in the back of a fucking armoire? What’s next, Mr. Tumnus on the blue line? I can’t with this franchise #LGRW

Been looking into getting a robot lawn mower. Probably a long shot but does anyone have any experience with one?

Just found the NY Times’ top 100 books of the 21st century list. I’ve read 11 of them but whole heartedly disagreed with the order in which those were ranked #Booksky

I’ll always remember being at the first annual Doug’s Opening Day Pizza Bake and Charity Hike to Benefit Victims of @psr1973.bsky.social. You have to hike 11.67 miles to get to it but the pizza is almost worth it

Instagram just reminded me of an all-time quote from @joeposnanski.com in his yearly Holiday Draft: “I love that in a draft literally just labeled as ‘Holiday Villains’, we’ve had ‘communism’, ‘the concept of time’, and ‘the sun’ have all made an appearance. And ‘John Wilkes Booth’!”

@mollyknight.bsky.social I literally was stopped dead in my tracks at work with your first pick in the @joeposnanski.com Holiday Draft. Absolutely incredible

Every year a local brewery teams with a local candy company for a holiday flavor. Every year they knock it out of the park. This year is no different

My wife is currently experiencing a hereunto undiagnosed health issue, one of my best friends texted me that his position at work is being eliminated, my fridge stopped working, my tv remote stopped working, and I got a 12 hr ban from Twitter. It has been A Day so far

The only explanation for the dichotomy of the current Red Wings play and how they were playing before the off day is that we are clearly dealing with some sort of Space Jam situation #LGRW

Just finished this book. I really appreciated the research put into the book but I was left a bit confused how they kept switching between the stories of H.H. Holmes and the architects building the World’s Fair. I kept expecting them to merge at some point and they just didn’t #Booksky

When I say I dress like a cartoon character, this is what I mean. These are 3 completely different hats that I change in and out but wear backwards so they look the same There’s a fourth one in the rotation but it has a slight variance to it

Do normal brains retain dopamine? Obviously mine is diseased beyond repair because I could be having a great time and the minute I’m alone with my thoughts the meat sac in my skulls says, “You know what you piece of shit? Everyone hates you and you should probably end it all.”

The first appearance of Man-Bat in Detective Comics 400 has always been a favorite cover of mine for some reason. Neal Adams just does such great work

Been thinking of going to more Blue Jackets games this season to get my hockey fix. Can’t wear my Wings gear to a random Jackets game, so I bought this bad boy and I can’t wait to pull her on for the first time

I go into a Target once a week for work and I’ve developed a little game I play. I wait and see how long it takes me to find someone who isn’t a white woman in the store. It can’t be an employee or someone accompanying a white woman either. Today was a shutout

Something I thought about last night, there were almost 111,000 people in a stadium with a seating capacity of 107,600 It never once felt cramped or chaotic like it did with 91,000 people in Bristol that has a seating capacity of 146,000 It’s insane how badly MLB mismanaged it

My wife is going to see Lady Gaga in a couple of weeks and is trying to plan her outfit with her very gay male friend. I guess he said the other day, “We should totally dress as nuns and have upside down crosses!” I asked if he would have any interest in going to see Ghost
