Ah yes… with Wicked trending again, the “I HATE Wicked” crowd rises from the shadows like they’re delivering some grand declaration. Sweetie, it’s okay to dislike a musical. Truly. But shouting it from the mountaintop doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you loud. Okay. Do you want us to clap?

Zohran Mamdani spent Veterans Day at a Bronx veterans’ center with a clear message: it’s time to move beyond thanks and take real action to support those who’ve served.
True respect for veterans means addressing the struggles they face every day — not just thanking them once a year. 🇺🇸

I’m starting to think @groktr.bsky.social is the “special” member of the AI family — the one still trying to figure out what glue sticks taste like.

My husband just bragged that he can draw a perfect circle freehand.
Meanwhile, I’m over here pulling out a compass like it’s a weapon. 🎯🎨
Yeah… I hate him right now.
Obviously he’s a witch

There was a time when—even if they disagreed with me or hated everything I stood for—Republicans still acted like adults. Now it feels like the grown-ups have all left the room.

When my dad worked in civil service at an Air Force base, there was a well-known “secret” among the crew — everyone knew exactly where to go if you wanted Cuban rum and cigars.

Today is the birthday of the amazing Carrie Fisher
Long ago, I was super depressed- i met her at a convention, she looked at me in the eyes and said, “Listen to Space Mom - I want you to take your meds & live another day – even if just for spite. And remember to give stupid people the finger!”

💧Hot take: Water isn’t wet or dry.
It’s the non-binary child of matter.
Solid’s too rigid. Gas is too flighty.
Water’s just out here like, “I contain multitudes.
“You can’t label me. I make things wet, I vibe with ice, and I flirt with steam.”

removed benches from K Street and Old Sac… temporarily. When does temporary end?
I have mobility limitations and severe knee pain. I need to sit. But the city’s message to disabled and temporary disabled like me is clear: “Stay the fuck home”

My mom said she knew I was gay way before I came out. Not just because of the posters of hot rocker dudes in tight jeans—but because teenage me used to watch rugby on satellite TV religiously…
Did I understand the rules? Absolutely not.
Could I name the players? Oh yes 🏉🍑 #GayAwakening

A woman was arrested after a kid called her “Miss Piggy” on a plane.
If she didn’t scream “Hiiii-yaaaa!!” and karate chop him like the real Miss Piggy, I’m disappointed.
Imagine getting offended… and then serving full Miss Piggy energy anyway. 🐷💅🥋

Today I fully channeled my inner ‘80s teen and called someone a “hoser” at a stop sign for not going when it was clearly their turn.
Now excuse me while I put in an overcoat and grab a boom box and stand outside my crushes window

The fact that it took conservative Americans over 40 years to realize Bruce Springsteen isn’t on their side says a lot—mostly about their self-awareness.
He’s been singing about working-class struggle, systemic injustice for decades #BruceSpringsteen

Happy First Contact Day!
On April 5, 2063, humanity made its first official contact with the Vulcans.
It reminds us that a better future is possible—where we learn from our past, celebrate differences, and delight in the beautiful diversity
Live long and prosper! 🖖

Looks like America’s hard times are almost over
The U.S. just slapped a 20% tariff on Ireland, which happens to supply nearly all of our Viagra.
Let’s see how long we can keep it up.

April 1st is no longer April Fool’s Day — it’s Donald Trump Day.
A tribute to the biggest fool in the nation.
Except this brand of foolishness isn’t funny — it’s dangerous.
Think Caligula with Wi-Fi.
Or French president Paul Deschanel, he fell off a train and landed in the Oval Office.

I love both the OBC and movie recordings of Wicked, but Cynthia Erivo’s The Wizard and I... Her voice brings out so much emotion, and I wasn’t expecting it to be my favorite on the soundtrack—but here I am, listening on repeat. No shade to Idina, but Cynthia’s version just hits differently.

I remember listening to the Lord of the Rings radio show in the 80s. When Gandalf broke Saruman’s staff- my dad commented “oh so he came back from the dead to fire his boss?”
