You know your gas bill is high when you think, "Did I miss a payment?" Nope. Just a very cold month in your drafty 100+ year old 2Flat.

I could use a good music fest right now. I like going solo cause I've discovered it's a great way to hide. Lost in a crowd. And I could really use a few days of intentional disappearing.

My new car has a CD player and I am excited to dig out my CD case! Or should I finally get a CD visor case?
Once again I must beg you all to readopt old tech when and only when it is higher quality than its replacement. Records: yes, CDs: yes, audiocassettes: no, Blu-rays: yes, DVDs: no, VHS: you gotta be kidding, reel-to-reel audio: NOW you’re talking.

Transferring my playlists to Qobuz and they don't have @anidifranco.bsky.social 's Untouchable Face. This could be a deal breaker. Like that holds my breakup playlist together!

If you are also confused by the NHL's embrace of Heated Rivalry, you MUST read @thefrankiedlc.news 's take. TLDR? Don't buy into the hype. And if you do, at least hold the league accountable for years of homophobia. I still haven't watched, but will now hear takes on why I should.
Haven't done one of these in a while! I've got a post-holiday haterade rant about the NHL's support for Heated Rivalry, which I hate. www.thefrankiedlc.news/p/sorry-but-...
sorry but I don't give a fuck that the NHL has embraced 'heated rivalry'

The solo part of Christmas is here and I decided to rewatch the last season of She-ra before it leaves Netflix. 1. Now I'd love a recap 2. The theme song is perfect for our anti 🧊 work 3. Horde Prime looks like Vecna. 4. TY 4ever @gingerhaze.bsky.social for this show.

Ok how much did the military lose. The USPS is not a business
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.
