I followed Mrs. Dalloway's walk through London ages ago with a friend, for a piece I wrote on Woolf, women, and cities. I'm glad Dalloway Day is a thing now.
Not sure I can take part in the CharityBowl this year.
We're down to a single income and bought a house and OMG look at those credit card balances!

So the Celtics are on Peacock tonight?
You know, I'm starting to feel violent thoughts towards Bono and the boys for unleashing ZooTV.
It seemed like a fun idea until the greedheads realized they could charge for every single screen.

Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library".

Of course Matthew Tkachuk is wearing an Ole Miss hoodie.
Bet he would have pledged KA there.
if you hear someone talking about the west, about shared Judeo-Christian heritage, about Jerusalem and Athens, what they’re peddling is a fake solidarity that will have you identifying with billionaires against your own interests
I use the remote function on my iphone a lot.
Penguins, y’all in deep shit.
An actual TVOS that didn't suck.
GOT damn!
2.45 miles in 28 minutes. Not great, but hell, better than Saturday when I had to turn back a little over a half mile because of the bubble gut.

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!
Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!

Can I get that at the vape shop?
