So Katie Maravich of Dropout TV Fame has introduced me to this director Yorgos Lanthimos.

Y'all, I need someone to help me reconcile the wild ass weirdness of these movies with reality.

Covered the diy stucco on cement-block chimney from prior owners in sheetrock.

Another day, another job rejection.

[venting] we've been trying to sell our house and move someplace more populated. It has been a constant reminder of why I want to escape living at ski resort elevation. Today, a newly leaking roof because of ice dams stretching to 8' above the eaves and record snow accumulation.

So hear me out:

You visit a website for a niche category of product, and - during business hours - there's a wide-angle live stream of the small, brick and mortar shop. If you have a question, you type it in chat like Twitch, and if the clerk isn't busy, they can make a counter cam available.

US conservatives are generally older, right?

So these people have been working for decades, paying taxes to fund Social Security and Medicaid.

And now that they are older, they want to cancel the benefit of everything they have *earned*, calling it "entitlements," because of.. immigrants?

MWAHAHAHA! None have been disappointed by my "Dungeon Crawler Carl" book recommendations. (...despite the weirdness of my similarity in monikers and pastimes...)

And none will!

Vermonters: 'what do I do about this ermine living in my garage?'

"Give that stoat a stout and chill together."

As a heraldry enthusiast, I am tickled gules. As a homeowner, I couldn't agree more.

And then the viewing appointment scheduled for today showed up while I'm in the middle of cutting holes in the ceiling and patching.

... Too bad our realtor told us it was scheduled for tomorrow..

When it rains, it pours.. or rather forms a 4-inch thick ice dam on your roof and five new water spots on your ceiling.

Why are my bones floatin'?!

Because if I had a dollar for every bone fragment errantly hanging out in my old flesh, I'd have 3 dollars!

Shorting "transfer" as "Xfer" in my household chore notes doesn't seem as trivial, today. FFS, using "X" to acronym anything seems wrong.

Sure, I'm a mediocre white man, virtue signaling. But today is full of pauses: how do I do more? I'm too poor to donate. ... I need to Google more, I think.

Pausing all federal grants and loans means a majority of college students can no longer afford college, and colleges and universities no longer get NSF funding for research.

An already struggling, higher education system now loses two major avenues of funding.

If we are broken into a malaise by daily horrors, we may miss the construction of the newest, worst tyrannical government without historical comparison.

Beast Games is just Santiago Genoves' raft experiment on redux: people in groups choose to do good, while the proctor tries to stir strife in vain.
