Any of the following
-My tuition rate from college
-The Fairness Doctrine (and broadcast ownership rules before 1987)
-soda without corn syrup as a default
-MTV with actual music
-Cars that I do not need a $1500 computer to fix

Pick any streaming option that has ads, even limited ones.

Now imagine for the last four weeks, you had essentially the same four ads playing in EVERY slot. Up to seven times in a row

Omg I can actually watch TV again

Nathan Fillion, as Castle acted like Millennial Columbo about half the time?

You cannot change the past. The past can change you.

You cannot revise what happened. You cannot un-die the dead, un-break the house, un-smell the years, unlive the harm. The past is fixed in event, not fixed in effect. The event does not change.

Its meaning, legibility, and consequences do"

"The past is not finished just because it is over. It can stop being a prison and become guidance. Sometimes the child survives first and the adult returns later to gather what the child could not carry.

Happy last day of political texts and ads for a bit to all Virginians

Graupel or sleet, the classic April question...

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and yes, cleaning like a manic actually helps.

C'mon GEORGE! #WGI

So many texts... I think I've blocked six today alone, and I've been blocking multiples a day for the last three weeks

Not even 11am local time, and I have already blocked and reported as spam 3 phone numbers from outside my region with political messages.

Come on Tuesday...

And dude...Definitely don't do that merde after 10pm

The rate that I'm blocking and reporting political spam texts, my phone will either crash by September or I'll have about six numbers than can call me

I'm so GenX I wear my key around my neck

Yet I perceive, should the world forsake us,
Mine own, thou needst shed no tear.

Hark, sweetling, for this eve shall we forge destiny, thou and I,
And I shall dare aught to bid Father Time rewind,
That I might linger with thee this night.
I am not blind to the shadows of our age,
When souls do bolt their gates and seek refuge within.
Whispers abound of Paradise's twilight,

Please, dear Lord, don’t let me f**k up
(Alan) Shepard's prayer, Mercury 3

To the band moms from Vista Murrieta who made my kid take a snack and some water today while they were working the prop/load lot at WGI finals, thank you (and your kids had an AWESOME show!)

The last time I had to do that kind of exercise the entire team went to HR. We were told we had to do it, so I wrote a small script that randomized multiple guess questions and pulled from a list we came up with for fill in the blanks.

He was livid. HR laughed in his face

Drop your crime-fighting Catholics

How about a Trio of Tuck?

This is the way

Alternate time line- @hntdove.bsky.social has his Worldwar series (what if aliens invaded during World War II), his wife Laura Frankos has an excellent trip through the early 20th C Broadway scene with Broadway Revival (working to save Gershwin), and maybe Eric Flint's 1632.
