Aw, man, I wish I could have a bird restaurant, but nooooooooo, the bears would eat it all.

I'd love to see Alex Borstein or John Turturro as Columbo.

Twitter died in 2022.

That's one of the main reasons Station Eleven is one of my favorite post-apoc fictions: The emphasis on the importance of community (and art, and the resilience of the human spirit).

Yeah, things sucked for the people in that story, but they also made their own hope. It wasn't all grimdark.

Fink Different.

So they backed an *actual* billionaire to keep the seat from going to some billionaires' toady?

Meanwhile, whenever I visit my sister in Germany, I can go the entire trip without getting into a car, *and* literally get from one side of the country to another quickly and efficiently without relying on air travel, either.

And they tell me Deutsche-Bahn sucks.

For the sake of discussion, JetBlue is only $177 between PVD and JFK and gets you there in an hour (not including the hours at the airport on either side).

Amtrak is only $73 one way if you take the midnight train (well, the 11:49 PM arrival).

If trains can't compete on price...

Are the Iranians getting cut in on the insider trading now?

Wait, can *I* sue the IRS for $10B?

I'd happily settle for $10M.

Surely the plural of Walkman is Walkmen..?

The Cool S.

Different city, but I get strong Third Man vibes from that.

Woe be unto them by whom Gail is Tekken for granted.

What the fuck is in the water up there?

Too much Moxie?

Hey, @watsoncomedian.bsky.social, is it too early to ask who will be joining you at JFL in July?

How did the museum come to acquire *that*?

See, that's a sign of an inferior ice cream sandwich, IMO.

That happens when I buy the store brand, but never happens when I pony up for Hood.

So, uh, the statement Donnie claims is the real one is dated "TEHRAN-7 APRIL 2026."

It's been April 8th there for the past 5+ hours.

Nice!

They toured around here last year with Bela Fleck's holiday show.

Alash?

I should go find some Colt 45 to keep in the fridge for the next two weeks.

It can go next to the champagne I keep ready for... other reasons.

Living in the United States at this time principally involves being an involuntary participant in a weekly pump and dump market manipulation scheme enacted by the child predator president and his cabal of bloodthirsty freaks. The entire apparatus of the state is focused on fixing the price of oil

Is there an asterisk there?

Viral photo from some years back of a man nonchalantly mowing his yard with a tornado on the horizon .

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

Fundraising email from the Democratic Party stating that "It's not about how bad things are, but about what Democrats are doing to make things better."

STFU. Read the room.

Of The Empire We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness. - Mary Oliver

God this poem is haunting me again.

Done that *AND* picked up some tequila.
