- If you've given @thudfactor.com's Friday 10 a try (or you haven't -- it's not a prerequisite), you can always take a turn by my blog and see if you can identify any of my Friday 10 lyrics!
- Most days I'm fine, but some days I'm depressed and some days I'm depressed *and* obsessing about how I can no longer get an Italian All-The-Way from Sub Station II in Blacksburg just off the campus with an extra pickle spear, potato chips, and free refills on soda.
- "But, Glen," you say, "A #13 Mike's Way from Jersey Mike's is the same damn thing!" I counter that no it's not, no it's not at all. There's a principle involved.
- Nostalgia is a toxic impulse. But, damn, those were good-tasting sandwiches in the perfect location.
- I mean, when @brisuscheez.bsky.social and I first watched "Beyond Atlantis," we knew right away that "Mother Crabbers" was the JAM of the SUMMER™.
- I'm absolutely thrilled the @rifftrax.com Makes MST3k Kickstarter is doing gangbusters. I *am* still hoping we get to see more of Emily Connor's Simulator Of Love in the future.
- I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T! i mean s-m-A-r-t!

- Hey, @kaine.senate.gov -- most of the Democrats among my friends and family believe in decorum and cordial discussion. They don't like to raise their voices or swear in political conversations. So I would like to ask what the FUCK makes you think confirming a Trump nominee right now is a good idea‽
- For shame, Bluesky. I've been scrolling up and down all day and haven't seen anyone mention that The Muppet Show's brand new TV special airs tonight. #muppets #timetolightthelights
- There should be a law that, every time a man tells a woman "You should smile more!" or any variant thereof, a woman is selected from a pool of volunteers to give him one solid sock in the nose. Some will say, "But what if that's their kink‽" I respond, "Everyone's free to enjoy a flat nose."
- It definitely seems that former Gov. Youngkin on his way out of office approved the sale of a Virginia corrections facility to DHS as a potential ICE location. Gov. Spanberger has halted the sale.
- I was never a huge watcher of Three's Company, but I like knowing that John Ritter apparently butted heads with the writers over this storyline -- saying there was no way Jack would turn down and offer from a woman who looked like Ann Wedgeworth. Their sadly predictable response: "But she's OLD!"
- When Ritter pointed out that the age gap was less than ten years, the writers brushed him off and started cutting Wedgeworth's part smaller and smaller until she asked to be released from her contract.
