GAH! Of course! I can’t believe I forgot to put that in last night; I’ve added it now. Also served as a good reminder that I hadn’t donated yet this year. That’s been remediated, as well!

I blogged (and spoiler: LOVED) this puzzle for Rex Parker tomorrow. Should post overnight. Solve then read!

A screenshot of a BkueSky feed showing the RiffTrax short Setting Up a Room (featuring two kindergarten teachers setting up a classroom for a year… interminably) and Rex Parker’s examples of his classroom black boards

Is some kind of algorithm telling me to get into teaching? I’m not sure I have the energy to setup a room like that… @rexparker.bsky.social @rifftrax.com

A shot from verrrrry high up and stage left in the Forum in Los Angeles of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band playing a concert. A video screen behind the stage show Bruce playing guitar.

Last night was my 5th time Springsteen show and was honestly surprised at how emotional I got. After all of yesterday, being in an arena full of people channeling anger and frustration into joy was magical. Also, @brucespringsteen.net rocked as hard as I’ve ever seen him & Tom Morello just shreds!

I think people who are not cyclists do not quite understand how often those of us who bike are told that we deserve to die because we have chosen a mode of transit that isn't a car

This was, in fact, an amazing evening. My @sparksofficial.bsky.social records have been getting worn out since we got back. Always great to see @edgarwright.bsky.social , as well!

Does this have anything to do with the fact that there are 5 levels of hot sauce available for the Artemis astronauts? And if not, why not?

With the new Harry Potter trailer dropping today, now is a better time than ever to remind everyone that J. K. Rowling's name appears in the Epstein files where she calls Epstein "a very dear friend".

J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization This is where "Harry Potter" profits are going.

if Anita Bryant was still alive and promoting Florida orange juice, you couldn't pay me enough to drink it. how is Harry Potter any different?

I’m excited to see what Tom Hollandest can do, as well.

An unopened package of Keebler Coconut Dreams cookies.

And finally…. Coconut… Train… Dreams? Why did I do this last? 10 is so many movies, y’all.

A bag of Trader Joe’s chocolate covered honeycomb and a Hostess Honey Bun.

A couple of honey treats for Bugonia.

Two cake pops in a beer taster glass, surrounded by three other taster glasses filled with a golden beer.

One Batter After Another Cake Pops (with a few small beers)

An overcooked frozen personal supreme pizza on a blue plate with a fork.

Marty Supreme Pizza! I wanted to put a pint pong ball on it, but it turns out I don’t have one. Deepest apologies.

A blue plate with a fork and 7 Swedish meatballs and a bit of lingonberry jam.

Entree time! For Sentimental Value, Swedish meatballs! I know it’s set in Norway, but they say the family is from Sweden and we were already at IKEA.

A brown liquor drink in a coupe style cocktail glass with a lemon peel garnish. It sits in front of a bottle of Carpano Antica Formula sweet vermouth

The Vieux Carré Race cocktail made with Carpano Antica Formula (One)

A slice of cornbread on a blue plate with a blue butter bell and a small glass of whiskey

Sinners Cornbread because… there’s a character named Cornbread? They don’t all have to be puns, people.

Served with corn whiskey and Irish butter waiting to be invited inside.

7 pigs in a blanket on a Haunted Mansion plate

Frankenstein in a Blanketstein!

A green bowl of popcorn in from of a Pop Secret box.

Next is Pop Secret Agent (I warned you).

Prosciutto and cheddar with crackers on a bamboo serving plate.

Next, Hamnet and Cheese (low hanging fruit).

A cocktail in a Casablanca themed rock glass, with an orange wheel twisted to look like Conan O’Brien’s hair skewered to a pewter skull pick.

First up in my Oscar’s themed eating and drinking tonight (fair warning, some of these will be VERY stupid): a Ginger Menace cocktail from Conan’s podcast, featuring an Orange pompadour garnish.

An array of Mystery Science Theater 3000 merchandise, including a signed pass from DragonCon, a photo of Kevin Murphy and Tom Servo, a piece of Deep 13 with display box, a movie ticket stub, and the cover of a Shari’s magazine that featured an article about the show.

I recently got a box from may parents with a lot of my old memorabilia, including a photo of Kevin signing my name badge at DragonCon, said name badge (where Kevin says I may pass and Mike exhorts me to “Filk!”), and my ticket from seeing the movie in Atlanta (had to drive an hour to see it!)

@rianjohnson.bsky.social and I are both crossword bloggers now. I think that makes us best friends?

A large golden dog with a white chest sits on a green couch. There is light shining on him through a window, casting horizontal shadows across his body from the shutters. He looks like the dame who just walked in could be trouble.

Huckleberry is getting himself prepared for a career in film noir.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

I hope I was the first kind…

WeRateDogs continues to be the absolute best.

I think it’s good that Super Bowl commercials are terrible now because advertising is a cancer in this country and more people need to realize it.

I feel like I mention booze in most of my blogs, and no one’s even offered to buy me a drink! Enjoy!

USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair.

USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries.

They are giving you actionable information.
