Happy Halloween from me and Ryan. One of these days I’m going to get him a Deadpool costume.

In Orlando for a conference. My hotel room supposedly has a “Florida view”. Behold the beauty of the Sunshine State!

Reposing to show @jakelupardus.bsky.social my spice rack is small by comparison and has not yet taken the door off its hinges! (Also Mr. Bree’s collection is a thing of beauty)
It is my sad duty to tell fans of the Spice Rack of Doom that it is now pulling the *three inch deck screws* out of the wall because it is so heavy and putting so much weight on the door that the door has given up. 🤣
I have told Mr. Bree that we will be moving to individual wall mounted racks.

I have been in Mr. Bree's spice collection again. For those who didn't get to experience the thrills of #PaprikaGate live, here is an update on the state of the spice "rack"

It was a two Cybertruck drive to work this morning, and I just kept saying "Women don't like the vehicle" to myself. Also instructive when they put a company logo on it, so I know never to do business with that organization (not that I'll ever need to know or care what the hell Truong Capital is)

I see a lot of people saying Vegas but for me I think it’s Reno? I was only there a few days for a work thing but found nothing redeeming. Also hated San Angelo, TX with a passion as a kid but that could’ve been my family’s fault.
What’s the worst city you’ve visited?

We were recently on an escalator that stopped suddenly. I came pretty close to falling on the guy in front of me which would've been bad. Little did I realize it must have been a conspiracy against us by the Las Vegas airport, only logical explanation.
I like the idea that the UN would invite Trump to speak but then try to prevent anyone hearing him by … turning off an escalator, thereby rendering access to the second floor completely impossible.
“A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt…”

All of this Kimmel stuff has taught me that Houston has no Sinclair or Nextstar stations (other than the CW which doesn’t even get carried by YouTubeTV). I like that for us.

lol please come back and pay more for us to cave to fascists!
SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Once had a new boss cleaning house/firing everyone he didn’t hire. I asked him if I should be worried. He said “short of telling me to go fuck myself there’s nothing you can do to risk your job” When he fired me 2 weeks later one of my biggest regrets is not saying “go fuck yourself” & storming out.
Anybody with even the slightest bit of self respect, if they ended up in the same room with him, would say "I hate you too" and walk the fuck out.

In trying to escape the hellscape for a bit, we'll be in Miami next week for a night pre-cruise. We normally do Cuban, but I discovered we have at least three Michelin-starred restaurants within walking distance of our hotel. Now to figure out which one @jakelupardus.bsky.social will agree to eat!

This might finally be the thing that would make @jakelupardus.bsky.social a fan of a Houston sports team after living here since 2018.
It was a pleasure to tagteam with @jamildavid.bsky.social here. We write about how Houston really does deserve a WNBA team. He writes about how the time is right for Houston expansion. I write about how, despite the league's chicanery, queer fans and women deserve a chance to cheer:
Every city deserves a WNBA team. But perhaps none more than Houston.
The Comets' foundational dynasty deserves a second wind.

Was just pondering if Disney+ subscriber counts are public & found this. LOL good timing on this decision as they won't have to admit the extent yesterday's news hurt them. Genuinely curious as to the number of cancellations & how far outside of bsky this reaches.
