Oh my god, a self-insert!

Fish-shaped catnip toy with Jackson Pollack coloring and a huge gash in its side.

RIP Jackson Pollack catnip toy. I have three suspects, but none are talking. Probably because they're high. And cats.

Opinion Commentary Follow Alan Dershowitz: Why I’m Becoming a Republican I first registered as a Democrat in 1959. The party’s hostility to Israel is too much.

Dershowitz writing this in the present tense is something in and of itself.

Friday had WWE fans shouting "thank you, VInce." Today had "thank you, Brock." Did I miss a sexual predator that WWE fans cheered on Saturday?

He's also, it turns out, on the "content scrapers" blocklist. Glad that saved me the trouble of blocking him myself.

Ah, well. And yeah, Metcalf is just incredible.

Every one of these matches is longer than the Women's World Title Match from Wrestlemania.

I'm not sure I've seen anyone commit to a bit as well as Jer has this month.

Trump, IRS In Talks To Settle U.S. President's $10 Billion Lawsuit Trump's adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization are also plaintiffs.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.

I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

The reviews have been less than kind, but I love both of them (and the movie). Hope you like it!

Pacifica - Dancing In The Dark 4/15/26 YouTube video by Taxman

I've said for years that "Dancing in the Dark" is the best Springsteen song (sorry, "Thunder Road" and "Born to Run," but "Brilliant Disguise" is also better than you). Seeing more indie artists -- first Lucy Dacus, now Pacifica -- covering it makes me happy.

Catching up on #AEWCollision, and Nick Wayne remains the "fetch" of AEW. Letting the RoH TV title stay on him for over a year while he was injured makes no sense (see also, an interim champ for the women's version of that title when Red Velvet was out for less time).

Philz Coffee CEO restores Pride flags in stores after intense backlash: ‘I made a mistake’ The company abandoned a controversial policy after protests and mounting public pressure.

"I made a mistake, and I am sincerely sorry,” Sadarangani said."

He's sorry that overt bigotry had consequences, not that he was a bigot.

Norma Bates remains one of the all-time great cinematic mummies.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

In a reversal from 1994/95, the new STREET FIGHTER looks looks to be ten times more entertaining than the upcoming (or the recent) MORTAL KOMBAT. And that's in spite of Cody giving the worst line read in either trailer.

What a "coincidence."

I've actually starting hitting classaction.org every week or so just to be proactive about those.

Screenshot of three very obvious phishing emails with "Payment/Declined" as the subject line.

What the actual fuck is up with Gmail not even trying to filter obvious phishing emails? I've had at least seven make it through their filters today.

Note to prominent Dems starting new orgs to think about long term vision and naming them after horrible GOP programs: if the first communication I get from you directly is a Substack post, I think you’re starting off on the wrong foot

I swear, that's the reason for at least half of my non-perfect solves.
