Sourdough from Alaska, now a Buckeye (I guess).
This day is horrible for all of us.

It’s like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

Not quoting for irony. Quoting because this shit hurts.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Well, this is a weird and tragic turn of events.

Will miss you, Rob.

And I'll always cherish what you have left us.

Especially Princess Bride.
"It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time," the Reiner family said in a statement

Fuck this guy.

Truly hope Stephen Miller is going down. But don't trust reporting saying so.

MAGA always say, "Are just jealous of their success."

No. Pissed because are stealing for ones who actually work, and make stuff.
Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Was 14 when this album came out.

Was kinda disappointed on first listen, due to love of earlier ELO, and not old enough to understand how music evolves.

Kinda feel was way before time.

Well, damn. Just tested positive for COVID. How does a shut-in get COVID, I ask you?

Yeah. Shoulda got that last booster.

So, gonna say it now.

I purchased the BluRay of Battle: LA just so I could get the preview of third Resistance game.

Glad I did. The game was amazing, and Battle: LA turned out to be a favorite. Not a great movie, but a solid one, and deserved more than it got.

Gonna plant a flag on that hill.

This weekend Aliesha and I crewed a 100 mile run for a friend.

We got up Friday morning, left after work, fruitlessly tried to get some sleep, and spent the next 30 hours driving to aid stations, waiting for our runner, and tending to them.

He crossed the finish line with 13 minutes to spare.

So, 1 part pineapple juice, 1 part white wine, 1 part vodka:

Goddamned refreshing.

That's what I've learned.

Name one movie that is woefully underrated.

Mine is Bubba Ho-Tep. Bruce Campbell is Elvis in an old folks' home, fighting a mummy along with JFK (Ossie Davis). Brilliant.

And also Mystery Men. Because it's the best superhero movie ever made, that's why!

So, is uplifting speech need to hear. Come to Jesus, as were.

Might feel powerless, but have voice.

And voice can be LOUD.

We still have voice, and it works.
No one is coming to save us.

I know we're in a weird time now. David Bowie died and split the heavens asunder, and now we live in the worst timeline.

But the truth is, there is still joy in life. #resist, sure, but #love, be #joyful as well.

I truly believe there are better things ahead.

At some point, it has to become obvious that "team anti-DEI because it reduces competence" only promotes the least competent.

It's like they're walking ironic advertisements for DEI.

So, taking time off to do things around the house we've been talking about for 20 years, since we moved in.

Finally stripping paint from 120-year-old oak door trims, to restore them to, well, oak.

That sort of thing.

I say, you don't buy a house, you lease a project.

There's just a lot of it.

GOP is so hypocritical, at some point they're gonna claim only they can fix global warming.

It might take a bit to sink in.

Kinda like global warming.

Hey. Just a song I like.

Aliesha put it on a mix tape when we were dating decades ago (as you can tell, since I called it a mix tape). It stuck with me. That's it. That's all.

I just think Opal deserves more love, is all I'm saying.

If Progressives want to fix shit, we need a PR *machine*. Primed with the energy of Millennials, energized by the anger of Gen Z, and prepping for Gen Alpha.

Look. I'm a leading-edge Gen-Xer. I don't know how to fix shit.

So depending on younger generations is a cop-out.

Yet here we are.

So, the Constitution is a flawed document. That said, as an experimental first-of-its-kind thing, it's not really that bad. Sure, maybe should've given more than an unclear clause limiting gun rights to well-regulated militias.

Still, kinda hate seeing it shredded with support of GOP right now.

I submit that any time we *must* refer to Trump, we do so as "Putin's favorite bottom," like this:

"Trump, who is Putin's favorite bottom, called Zelensky a dictator, as is tradition for Nazis to call democratically-elected officials."
February 21, 2025 at 2:03 AM
It's hilarious to me that Trump destroys DEI initiatives because of something something, but then gives us the least qualified, most incompetent administration *EVAR*.

It's kinda like an argument *for* DEI.

"Uhm, sure, you can be Secretary of Defense. Just beat this black dude at Stratego."

Have an ex-friend on Facebook who went from middle-class to kinda-rich during pandemic. I've een posting about how ultra-rich are the reason America is in trouble, not immigrants or DEI.

He's gotten spicy-defensive. I'll ignore for months, and still @s me.

Been fucking with him tonight. Am I bad?

So, I know I should be doing something. Like, representing locally.

My King of Executive Function is at war with my Duke of What The Fuck Am I Doing.

Spicy opinion:

World would be better off without billionaires.

And hundred-millionaires.

But mostly billionaires.
February 5, 2025 at 5:16 AM
Elon Musk's takeover of the, well, entire US government is not just alarming, but illegal. If charged for $1000 per PII, that would be, let's see, 100M times $1000 is, what, $100B?

So, depending on how works out, would *still* be just fraction of worth. Large fraction, but still

We are fucked.

Sometimes simple pleasures are a dark beer on a cold winter night. A light breeze in summer. The murmur of friends on a night out. The knowledge you've chosen the perfect spot to deposit the traitorous body of an unnamed billionaire.

Simple pleasures are best.
