The absolute best. I quite enjoyed having Squirrel Girl exist on Twitter as well as a personality.
I love when fiction plays within the real world. I think I loved “Lost” so much in part because I started watching when “The Lost Experience” was happening and that was wild.

It will never not be funny to me (as an old) to see younger people struggle/express astonishment/outrage at “what do you mean this piece of media is not immediately accessible to me unless I *gasp* pay for it!?!”

Had a great time playing live, original music last night. And as always, I never want to do that again. But in a few months, it’ll probably sound fun again. Being a performer with massive social anxiety is a roller coaster.

My kid’s friend is with us today, and he’s vegan. The only vegan place I know is a donut shop, so we had donuts for lunch.

Ah yes, my favorite kind of day off—having an appliance repairman here and kids home from school.

Ah, this probably explains the “we’ve got a database” thing from last week, where a snickering ICE agent was filming protestors.
They’re going to fuck with protestors’ lives. None of it’ll be legal, but that doesn’t seem to matter much right now.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

The Power Station cover of “Bang a Gong” came out only 14 years after the original.
Guess it’s time for me to cover “Sexy and I Know It.”

If you would like to go see a rock show and you are near Salem, OR this one is happening tomorrow and I made a poster about it.

The sweet and tender hooligan is not blameless in all of this. Sure, he was failed by his parents and schoolmasters, but he can, and should, take some personal responsibility.

Trivia time: Can you name 5 musicians or bands from Canada and their best songs.
No judgement here, everyone has a say. Music is universal, we all have different tastes in music. Maybe you will find some new music to enjoy as well. 🍁

There are accounts on here going though all kind of contortions trying to cleverly stop you from voting your outrage in the midterm elections.
They are desperate. Don’t be fooled.

I’ve already started.
A lot of people are saying we can't vote our way out of this but I think we can. That's why I'm committed to voting 10 times in the upcoming midterms. Will you join me?

If you have nothing but complaints about the Democratic Party, but don’t get involved in your local office, then kindly stfu. Take that ire and do something productive with it.

This was one of the only things I hated about living in Chicago with a car.
“But I did the work to dig my car out!”
Yeah, and so did everybody else.

I swear I hate hood/ghetto mentality. Street parking is not guaranteed to anyone and for you to put cones, chairs etc to "save" your spot is wild. And even more wild when neighbors ask you not to do that as it is AGAINST THE LAW and you ignore them, disrespect them or simply disregard them is crazy
