he's just like this guy, you know?
many, many years ago I talked my mom (in AZ) into investing in solar panels, when there some great federal rebates available. zero install fee. every year since then her annual electric bill has been net $0 or less. it's a good feeling.
Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

like (I assume) other middle-millennials my first exposure to Abe Vigoda was on Conan. like many things in O'Brien's universe there was no context. Vigoda was just a kindly old man with a funny face doing ridiculous things.
it wasn't until I was in my 30's that I realized, holy shit!

the rock and roll hall of fame is for middle-aged white dudes, by middle-aged white dudes. (it's unironically in central Ohio! come on!)
it eschews impactful artists in favor of VH1 babies.
if you want to spend $35 to see Joey Ramone's pants under glass, that's on you.
I'd rather see a show.

when I entered school I was already reading, thanks to Sesame Street. my first words were (and this is not a joke) "big bird".
I would never say *WE* dodged a bullet here. but *I* definitely did.

I feel compelled to apologize for being such a poster/reposter/commentator/reply guy tonight. I have contributed nothing of value to the discourse. I've just run out of good internet and felt that poking it a few times might change it.

I've never done ANYTHING remotely as heroic as these people. nothing.
but once my roommate and I narrowly avoided a head-on collision @~35 Mph. the car behind us wasn't so lucky. when we gave our account to the cops they thanked us, "most people wouldn't have stuck around." which... what the fuck?

I haven't been involved in (which I've learned is what sports people say to mean "I haven't watched") the last season of Battlebots, but the trend of low fingers paired with vertical disc spinners is just boring as shit. it's a race to the low ground with the best disc speed/weight ratio. no design.

I mean, what has *voting* ever gotten anyone?
This has not gotten much attention, but it should.
Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

there are so, so many real obtuse scenes from that night that you don't even have to go digging for, much less make up.

I saw GD with Blink 182. Blink phoned it in. acoustic version of that "I fucked your mom" song, leading into Barker playing drums upside down with fireworks. fine.
GD absolutely dominated. took three random musicians up from the crowd, showed them how to play the song and stepped back. best weirdos.

I learned a lot about Nancy Pelosi this week — including her very early advocacy for AIDS patients. She visited them in SF General’s AIDS ward and convinced the Reagan administration to allow the AIDS Memorial Quilt to be displayed on the National Mall in 1987.

someone asked for pet nicknames which let me down a google photos rabbit hole where I found this photo of nemo looking ridiculously handsome. it's a good thing he is, because he is as dumb as a sack of hammers. but in a charming way.
