Since it's the season for it, I'd like to say a few things regarding log shows.
Actual real fires are key. I want to hear the crackle of logs burning. The logs themselves should burn, and the fire should need tending.
Has anyone ever watched a log show and been disappointed at a log being added?

It's hard to get the text to work against the tacky gold, sorry for the colors. Wanted to get it done before I lost the idea.

If the White House is to be torn down, those jobs should go to Canadians, as is traditional for White House destruction.

My tire caught a nail and a kind person pointed it out to us before we shredded it. He immediately offered a pump to fix it, but we had a donut to replace it out with.
Had some trouble getting the wheel off and a second good Samaritan drove home, got a mallet and came back, getting it right off.

Watching @thesavbananas.bsky.social and I have such opinions about the rules of Banana Ball as it comes to pitchers on stilts.
Short version: This is not being rewarded mechanically at current, and it needs to be. More ridiculous pitching schemes.

Watching @thesavbananas.bsky.social play on streaming, as they play a sold out Yankee stadium. Banana Ball is exactly kind of dumb.

Yeah. I know “should evolution be taught in schools and how” is a very 2000s era argument, but imho, schools need to be sure to teach that humans are the inbred trailer park of mammals due to a genetic bottleneck so a black guy and a white guy are basically twins by the standards of other species.
"Race has some biological reality" is a very tricky statement, because, what exactly do you mean by race in it ?

I think it’s fine to bully people for reading Harry Potter in 2025 actually
If you want to read your old Harry Potter books, you should do it in secret and shamefully - you know, in the way that J.K. Rowling wants to force trans people to live.

Mine: Ezri Dax is a much more interesting character than Jadzia Dax.
Ezri has flaws and insecurities to overcome. Jadzia’s main traits are that she’s perfect and everyone likes her, and that’s boring.

Don't let them make you afraid. Show them we still stand together. Against them.

Again: mob violence is the intended outcome of the “use your birth gender bathroom” laws. The intent is to provoke violence against trans people and drive them from public life.
