I dunnow, man. I'm just trying to make it. Mainly with the help of Soul music, film, and some sports.

unleashing social media on the world at large was like inflicting smallpox on immunologically naive peoples. Only psyches scarred over by endless stupid flamewars on usenet or IRC were truly ready for it

I tried to pet every breed of dog at the Westminster Dog Show.

The resulting video:
12 minutes of extremely good dogs
132 dogs pet
5 face licks
2 belly rubs
Me saying “BEAUTIFUL dog” at least 59 times

Just hearing the news about Sam Moore. One half of Sam & Dave. Double Dynamite! The duo so good that Otis Redding was reported to have said, partly in jest and partly in truth, "Don’t you ever put me with them motherfuckers again." Sam Moore later was a pallbarer for Otis Redding's coffin.

Today in Facebook Marketplace:

19 skeletons hanging on an EZ up. Posable and can be used other ways. Different kinds of accessories

Very unusual Halloween decoration. Able to be modified for an even bizarre look. Currently set up in my yard for inspection.

I don't know how JG Wentworth gets a return on their ad spend, but I'm grateful their jingle continues to bless my TV year after year

Tired of the same Christmas standards you hear every year? I love them but Mariah, Wham!, and Phil Spector need a breather. How about some Christmas Soul that doesn't get the run it deserves?

Favorite covers that took the original to another place?

One of mine has to be "Dreaming" a Blondie cover by Say Sue Me, a Korean-based shoegaze band.
