I know none of you watches CBS News Sunday Morning, but: they just had a story about the Mille Miglia race in which they showed footage from the Ferrari biopic of the deadly crash scene uncensored! Hey Boomers, here's a little bloody carnage with your breakfast! 🤣

Me, in my best Karen voice: "I demand to speak to the manager of rice apportionment!"

I don't wanna sound like Middle Aged Complain-y Guy, but the Mexican restaurant just told me they're out of rice. 😳

First, there is a mountain

Some good news in a cold month: just saw Shout Factory has acquired rights to various Hong Kong action movies long held up in legal limbo. John Wooooooooo!

Local Mexican restaurant still (!) has Xmas tree up.
Festive!

Overhead someone in a restaurant here in Podunk, TX refer to Alan Moore. My ears perked up. Based on what little I caught, it was some other guy. Never considered that it's actually a pretty common name.

Welcome to my old friend, the artist formerly known as Don Rennis.

The small Texas town I live in must be run by the Hank Hill mafia: not a single place to get a charcoal-grilled burger. "This here's a propane town, mister. You better just move along."

hmm ... should that have been "introvertedness"? "introversion"?

if any mutuals see these posts & are confused: it's come to my attention that some people are blocking any account that seems suspiciously bot-like. Such as, say, an account that never posts anything. It wouldn't be the first time my introvertness got me in easily avoidable trouble.

hope that didn't come off as too snarky - people are on edge & I dont blame them. Almost everyone I follow is either a public figure (usually journalist) or a private citizen who built up a "brand" - it all started with the links pages on blogs. I loved blogs. I miss blogs.

Hello to MZS. You know, some of us dont post because we genuinely have nothing to say. It used to be called lurking, but I guess the times call for a little more effort.
