Have a chyron with moving text? Well shoot, they must be a reputable source. Time to load up on colloidal silver!

When my wife and I were first dating I had no idea how uncommon certain slurs were in the general public. I’d hear something and react, and then get a “what the hell are you talking about?” Made me realize my hometown was a bit less worldly than I had thought. And that wasn’t much to begin with.

Coworker handed me a book one time, emphatic that I needed to read it. I got 10 pages in and realized all the Rothschild references were of a sort. Gave it back, mentioned also not needing to read “The Protocols…” to know it wasn’t something worth reading. Reference didn’t land quite as I hoped.

Sounds like the smell just after getting a cast removed. Which is very distinctive.

Edie McClurg did it better: “The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads” But Whiskey Pete is not a righteous dude.

I f’ing hated it when I started thinking of my non-work life in terms of waterfall schedules and Gantt charts. I.e. when I started to apply project management skills to home stuff. Like some times I just want to veg out and show up late to things and not understand why. Now I can’t, and it stinks.

Read “Careless People” a few weeks back, and I feel like a sucker for ever having been on fb. Zuck is an ignorant amoral boil on the body politic. Every Meta product should come with a surgeon General’s warning.

I’m not sure how to not be weird about it, but yes, very willing here too. Love the feel of trust and responsibility shared when a baby falls asleep, or even just lets their head rest, on my shoulder. Miss that.

When the federal government shows motivation to deprive citizens of their voting rights without process, much less due process, that is an illegitimate act. There must be consequences for acting in such a way. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/u...

From 15,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle (Gift Article)
It was the Trump administration’s latest stumble in its effort to find proof of widespread noncitizen voting, despite decades of evidence that it is extremely rare.

It was super weird watching live theater in LA for the first time with a big-name cast. The audience applauded their entrances. Never experienced that in years of Chicago theater-going.

[at a bar] Give me a light. 🥴🌈🚨💡 No, my good sir, and many apologies for the ambiguity inherent in my request. For I do beseech of you to proffer the liquid comestible that promises mild intoxication sans satiety. I believe the natives of this region refer to the beverage as one Budweiser Lite.

One of the hardest workers I’ve ever come across was a fellow cashier at my first job, KMart. I was 16yo and she was probably late 40s. I had a hard time then thinking that she was also making barely above min wage. Now that hits even harder.

Sometimes packing for a 1 week and just resigning myself to doing laundry at least once is a lighter lift, literally and figuratively.
