We are indeed living in times where "Is the pope Catholic?" not being a rhetorical question seems about right

Just so you know, Jewel hasn't abandoned DEI initiatives. And it's a union shop.

I'll never understand lefties who won't shop at Wal-Mart who still love Trader Joe's. Y'all know TJ's wants to see the National Labor Relations Board dissolved or at least even more defanged than it already is?

Here's the Venn diagram on how many of these jerks probably wore a mask when mandated during the first couple years of COVID

One of my workplaces had a giant slab of chocolate gifted by the bank they use. It came with a chocolate breaking hammer, which I immediately wanted for myself. My co-workers may now think I'm a complete weirdo, but it's mine, all mine.

Saw Ishtar at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social today with Joe and now we've got our Halloween costume for next year

Oh, proof of cat? How about from last night when they had me surrounded on the bed.

My last saved meme is my moral philosophy?

Yeah, I'm good with that.

Fun follow up to that picture - there's a building in campus named for the coach - Wally Butts. But it's a double barrel name, shared with another coach named Harry Mehre. Yes, it is the "Buttsmear Building"

I was born in TN and I've never known it to mean underwear, only trousers.

The University of Georgia football team has a whole thing about "silver britches"

Look, I get it. It's a rock music show. But the older I get the more I wish concerts had a Sit Down and Stay Down section.

My view from not-cheap seats, seated and standing.

There's a Magritte pipe joke to be made from this but I'm not quite clever enough to put it together

This guy missed me after I was away a few days

I'm told the fluffy stuff filling the sky is cottonwood.

Looking at this map, it seems possible I managed to live in the very small pockets of Tennessee (in Knoxville) and Georgia (Athens) that might not have them. Or at least not as many as Illinois has.

Finally got around to watching the most recent Mission Impossible movie.

Film nerd me made my viewing companion pause the movie so I could show him a still from King Vidor's "The Crowd"

After March 31, no more menthol cigarettes to be sold in Evanston, Illinois.

Omar Little would be so devastated.

This is me and Shannon, getting up to our usual hijinks. A moment before the picture was taken, I shouted "BOOBSMASH" and grabbed her. I was as much trying to throw off her croquet game as I was showing spontaneous affection.
