Pour one out for Clock. I bought Clock for $10 at Walmart in 2001, changed the battery maybe 3x in a quarter century, and was reliably told the time by it till last night, when it fell (leaped?) from the wall and broke on the floor. Probably the best value I’ve ever gotten on anything I’ve bought.

I’m finally going to find out! My guess: bar bet.

The Deseret News' policy is that an opinion piece criticizing a Republican must find a way to also criticize a Democrat. (The rule does not hold in the opposite direction.) So when they call out Trump's SNAP site for blaming the shutdown on Democrats, they have to strain to also find this:

I'm in this situation where I had a one-night stand (it was Game 7 of the World Series!). I made it clear that things weren't going any further, but now they keep blowing up my phone. Do I just keep ghosting them? They're making it awkward.

I'll probably catch this on Hulu the next day so I can fast-forward through the boring parts. You just know they're going to drag it out like an American Idol finale.

“Celebrity Jeopardy” is where they ask questions about celebrities, right?

Alas, I must admit that “HONK IF YOU HAVE WARRANTS” on a cop car is funny.

A glance at Fox News on a public TV shows them doing what I assume is an annual custom on November 1, being offended by people’s Halloween costumes.

What do we think about a company that makes bourbon in honor of police officers who die (on the job or not), all the proceeds allegedly going to the family, but who DON'T ASK THE FAMILY FIRST? This is my cousin, a non-drinker who died in a way unrelated to police work. Thanks, I guess? Seems tacky.

Look at the great joke @bayerjeff.bsky.social did on me the other day! I didn't even know I was providing a setup! I didn't even care that this exchange occurred during my cousin's funeral!

In the early 2000s I was an old lady for Halloween. Specifically, I was Ruth Hale, matriarch of Utah's community theater empire. My boobs were oranges in a pair of pantyhose.

Both candidates for mayor of the city of Murray look like they should be named Murray.

At long last I have acquired the cardboard record of “It’s a Gas!” (groovy music punctuated with belches) that was an insert in a 1966 MAD special and which I heard 1,000 times on Dr. Demento. When I was 14 my friend and I won “Funniest” for doing a lip-synch to this song at a church talent show.

Great #NoKings turnout in Provo, with near-constant supportive honking from passing cars. This is why these rallies matter, I guess. To look at it, you’d think anti-Trump was the majority opinion here. (And maybe it is!)

I'm happy to learn that the new 4K of IT FOLLOWS keeps the "legacy extras" from the old Bluray, including the commentary @weinberg.social recorded with me and a few other critics! Amusing to note that not one of us still writes for the same outlet we did then. thedigitalbits.com/reviews/item...
