It’s quiet and easy to keep up with. And it’s a really friendly and welcoming crowd…or, dare I say, a loyal crew of misfits. ☺️

I want a Scion now. Total suburban Japanese housewife car. It handles nimbly both offroad and on. Keeps going effortlessly after multiple pit maneuvers. Perfect for taunting cops during chases. Sold.
MUTES OFF FOR THIS! (Music does loop awkwardly, though, FYI.)

I am SO SICK of that metal-drum boom-boom-boom percussion that’s use on almost every ad now, to make everything sound “dramatic” and “impactful.” (Pun not intended.)
The most obvious option would be to watch less TV…but naaahhhh.

My fancypants Mila air purifier picked up the VOCs in my spray deodorant yesterday morning, but it’s doing buggerall to these fucking gasoline fumes permeating my place.

Here's a tragedy of DOGE that most people will never know about, even though it has big consequences: no one is left to coordinate the transition to memory safe systems code. 🧵

Even max-strength Mucinex (all hail guaifenesin) isn’t putting a dent in this mouth-breathing, sinus-congesting cold. Thinking of a 5-hour cross-country flight tomorrow, working remotely from the airport for several hours, and even just packing my bags tonight…it fills me with anticipatory fatigue.

Um. This is not good folks. There are too many opportunities for malfeasance, especially in heavily gerrymandered districts.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

He really is outing himself as a white liberal dude. (He has pretty much always been one, to be clear.) He isn’t a true ally, and we need to stop adulating him based on him starring in an outdated political show years ago.

I wish I could remember my initial reactions to most of the episodes! All I remember is the very first one I saw, The Ghost Pirates, and I tuned in 3/4 of the way through when it was on Cartoon Network. I was in middle school. Clearly it made a strong impression. ;)
