A lot of people in Buffalo get too wrapped up in the negativity that comes with familiarity, so it's nice to see someone come in from outside and say of something here--in this case, the Metro Rail--"Hey, this is pretty nice!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3hY...

I had my issues with the guy, but I always remember Gregg Easterbrook often saying, "There is no law of nature that REQUIRES the NFL to remain as popular as it is."

Obnoxiousness is best offset by beauty.

I've just come through what has been a particularly obnoxious period of time at work...my main work area was relocated, and the great majority of the work involved in relocating my work area fell on me, so I guess a better way of saying that would be, "I…

YES but I don't want them to be installed, I just want them to sit on the balcony as a power move against the neighbours. Oh your tomato plants are coming through nicely this year are they, Margaret? Have you seen my silicone tits fully visible from the next town over btw they're much cooler.

Erica Kirk is ass much a racist as the husband she almost certainly doesn't miss at all.

On an unrelated note, I hope the next President plunks a mini-dumpster right outside the Oval Office and fills it with every ounce of that stupid gold shit. And I hope Donnie lives long enough to watch it happen on teevee. No archiving, no souvenirs, just straight to the fucking landfill.

One of my favorite James Bond theme songs is Gladys Knight's title tune for 1989's Licence to Kill. Both the film and the song tend to be underrated, but I think both are fantastic. The Licence to Kill song starts with the same horn riff that opened the song to Goldfinger,…

Apparently there's a website out there that's basically an instruction site for committing acts of sexual violence. And this site had many millions of visits, I assume from men suffering from that "loneliness epidemic" I'm told I'm to care about.

Men, get your shit together. FFS.

Here's something fascinating: an entire album comprising a ballet written by a prominent rapper! RZA is the leader of Wu-Tang Clan, a hip-hop collective that has been around for over thirty years now. That is, I admit openly, the extent of my knowledge of RZA. Hip-hop has never been…

I genuinely believe that people don't appreciate just how much of all the bad vibes right now are still largely a COVID hangover. It was a profoundly traumatizing event for American society, on the order of the civil war or the great depression and we've largely decided to just pretend

One fault of American conservatism that maybe flies a little under the radar is how BORING these people are. They want to impose upon everyone the dullest of all possible worlds. They look at Ned Flanders and see an aspirational tale.

I looked up Mrs. Groesbeck the other day, thinking maybe to reach out and affirm a happy memory from her class more than 46 years later, but alas, she apparently died in 2023. The worst missed opportunities are the ones we don't even realize are passing us by, aren't they?

When I was in 3rd grade, in 1980, our class was doing a group project on space and space exploration. My teacher, Mrs. Groesbeck, showed us this movie, NASA's official film for John Glenn's 1962 orbital flight. I love this stuff to this day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LwP...

While we wait for coffee to do its thing…

...let's do this week's Sunday Stealing, shall we? 1. Can you touch your nose with your tongue? No. I can roll my tongue, though. Apparently that's a genetic thing that only some people can do. 2. What foreign language did you study in school? How much of…

Splashdown!!!

I'll have a longer post about the Artemis II mission soon, but for now...well done, NASA. Well done. Just amazing.

Thank you, Artemis II! Thank you for reaffirming my general bullishness on humanity, even in this particular historical moment.

I am going to be VERY productive today.

"Uhhh...Kelly? What is wrong with you today?" Why, nothing! This will explain everything.

Wanna know all the books I bought in 2025? Sure you do!

And now, a video. Enjoy!

An incredibly hectic week is going on! The Wife had carpal tunnel surgery the other day, so I have to pick up the slack and actually do stuff around the house. Do you believe this crap? The horror!!! Also, at work I'm in the long-delayed, long-planned process of moving my work area…

Enjoy the southern skies, M’lord!

I suspect that these two photos represent the last time I'll be able to shoot Orion the Hunter for this season. When I took these it was still probably 30-45 minutes to full dark, and with Orion this high in the sky, he would have been close to setting behind the…

[nods politely even though I have zero idea what you just said]

Teamwork makes the dream work! (Plus, I laugh EVERY time I see one of these with a Home Depot wheel on it)

Sunday Quiz Time!!!

OK, let's get back into this "blogging kinda-sorta regularly" thing, shall we? In fact, I need to get back to the schedule that I established earlier this year after I took a couple weeks OFF the schedule to regroup. Regrouping is good, but so is getting back to it. So I'm…

Sir Roger Moore as James Bond 007 in OCTOPUSSY, holding up the Faberge egg that is the initial focus of the movie's plot.

Happy Easter, everybody! I hope the Easter Bunny brings you a pen that dispenses acid, or maybe a wristwatch with a laser in it.

I don't know that I've ever been to a "bad" city, but thirty years ago I got to join The Wife for a weekend trip to Dallas for her work. I saw Dealey Plaza and a really big mall and...I'm done with Dallas for life. Probably Texas too, if I'm being honest.
