Hello. Here is a photo of this morning’s sunrise. It may be the only peaceful thing we have for a while, so please enjoy. Or try. Or… let’s just pretend for three seconds the world isn’t a complete shitstorm.
(I know it’s not working. I know.)
What song is stuck in my head this morning for no discernible reason?
Yellow Pills, by 20/20.
#earworm
Already added it to my library a while ago
Two songs from the Open Season soundtrack in a row. Coincidence?
How’d those white jerseys work for you, Patriots?
#SuperBowl #Seahawks
What is the best holiday song, and why is the answer “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” (specifically the Darlene Love version)?

Didn’t realize they had a new release this year. Will check that out. This sounds good.
I’ve heard rumors that you’re allowed to not like something on the internet and just keep that to yourself.
…to get me to stop quoting that song, as our son had no idea what I was doing.
Which only contributes to why he thinks I’m crazy, admittedly.
Someday maybe I can play that song for him.
(All I wanted was a Pepsi…)

My tween child quipped that I was being crazy (which is usual for when I’m silly), and without hesitation I said “How can you say I’m crazy? When I went to your schools, I went to your churches, I went to your institutional learning facilities…” and from the other room my wife called out my name…
It was… challenging… to root for them at times this year, yes.
Baseball confession: I’m a Dodger fan and of course hope they win, but if the Blue Jays take it and the Dodgers do not have to go to whatever is left of the White House next year I could live with that quite easily. #WorldSeries
I do appreciate how many artists you bring to my attention.
It’s been old since before we were.
Be advised: The only kings we acknowledge in Los Angeles are the one who play hockey.
All hail Liquid Glass.
That is when they are their best.
Would it kill us to spell it “A.I.” so it doesn’t look like what comes between “Weird” and “Yankovic”?
What is abbreviated there probably is going to kill us eventually but in the meantime we can use our human intellect to distinguish it in writing with some punctuation.
I’m never more optimistic than when, after waking up with less than an hour before the alarm, I lay there and pretend there’s a chance I could fall back to sleep.
Did I say “optimistic”? I meant delusional.
“With age comes wisdom” is very often not true.

Few recall when the dark lord of the Sith rocked a sleeveless long shawl rather than a standard cape.
May the Fourth Be With You.
(Yes, this is a vintage Darth Vader action figure that somehow didn’t get donated or thrown out or misplaced since my childhood.)

Here are some songs I listened to today, all from my library, some from random shuffle and some intentionally added to the queue. #music
Or just, you know, *read*.
@alexfalcone.bsky.social is a gem.
22-year-olds don’t grasp at the time that they have only 13 more years of mental growth and then decades of being 35 in the mind.
Didn’t.
This was my pinned tweet at the old place. It’s very depressing in light of how the world went, but I still think it was funny at the time.
Although there’s nothing to celebrate about the current presidency, for #PresidentsDay in general I will share this post from my old blog from 15 years ago (yeah, used to be something I did) that still is vaguely applicable, at least semantically.

Pick a habit. We got plenty to go around.
That’s one way to keep Trump from getting to see Taylor Swift’s boyfriend at the White House. #FlyEaglesFly #SuperBowl
Precisely. We want to hate the next one. We want the novelty of that.
Everybody loves a winner… but only for a little while.
