Opinions personal, retweets ≠ endorsement. Target for faraway laughter. Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock.
- Amazon McGoof got rid of the WaPo BOOKS section? Man, if you didn't laugh, you'd cry
- A Message of Avarice Rained Down and Carried Us Away into False Dreams of Endless Riches by Red Sparowes youtu.be/X3Gee3ntX-Q?...
- The Great Escape
- I am not watching the Grammys. I am listening to the wildly-underrated 1969 album Spooky Two by English psych-blues-rock band Spooky Tooth
- I am working on a guide for visitors who come to Lawrence for the World Cup, and anyway I am having to find creative ways to say the equivalent of "okay, look, if you get hurt, you should go to the hospital, but it is going to cost you real money"
- Nabisco Chocolate Wafers Pinwheels Oreo (original) Samoas/Caramel Delites Choco Leibniz
- Describe your Bluesky account in a single image
- Five bands I just really don't like at all...I mean, you do you, you have great taste, I just don't dig this stuff 5. Florida Georgia Line 4. My Chemical Romance 3. Sugababes 2. Marilyn Manson 1. The Doors
- It is really, really cold. Like, Minnesota cold. Like, in grad school, in Minnesota, living in a garden-level apartment in Prospect Park with completely ineffectual electric baseboard heat, thinking "it is not possible to be any colder" cold.
- 1. History of Genocide 2. Greek 3. Art History 4. So. Much. Philosophy. 5. World Folklore (bonus round) physical anthropology, epidemiology, organic chemistry, history of liberation theology, history of resistance movements, differential equations, French, Greek Drama
- Leather panels?
- Changed my mind, my dog's preference for the music of Amy Winehouse really doesn't meet "Breaking News" criteria
- I could go long on the vagaries and internecine parliamentarianism of the Kansas Legislature, I could post all kinds of information on how good-faith legislators are doing everything they can to stop gut-and-go shenanigans, or I could just block this person who saw one headline. Which shall I choose
- Generalize your skeets. What's your most typical, most average skeet? "Hello, everything is terrible, here is a recipe and some housekeeping advice. (Insert quote from either a 20-minute prog rock song or a classic novel) Also, I have an ongoing beef with the Spelling Bee"
- Once again, the Jones Road Miracle Balm in Au Naturel has come through in the clutch as an occlusive barrier for subzero weather. It laughs at wind, the skin stays hydrated, nothing chaps. This stuff totally ain't for me the rest of the year but I absolutely rely on it for a Central Plains winter
- There is a child across the street who was out shoveling snow & I was kind of impressed, until I realized she was dumping the snow from her sidewalk *onto the house's front porch and stairs* to construct a massive sled run from the front door. Now I am like "get that kid an engineering scholarship"
