Say what you will about the JMU/Oregon CFP game, there have been far too few Dukes/Ducks bad puns.

I was at Hasan Hates Ronny Hates Hasan last night and it was new, loud, funny, and an amazing way to take racism straight on. If it were black vs. white there would be rioting in the aisles, but by going Asian vs. Indian, they were able to say important and funny things!

TIL there can be traffic lights in the middle of tropical rainforests. Not because of the traffic, though.

It's because a lot of the road washed away and there's barely room for one way traffic. Which seems like an outstanding reason for there to be a traffic light in a rainforest. #JoCoCruise

"Some say the world will end in fire.
Some say in ice."

My brother is dealing with the fire part, whereas we got the ice/snow this morning. But it doesn't snow in Seattle (much).

Joule has just learned I'm looking at pictures of other cats here and can't believe the betrayal!

When I was stationed in Korea (coincidently during the last time martial law was declared), I used to joke "We're here keeping Korea safe in case a democracy breaks out."

What a lousy joke.

Hey @colbertlateshow.bsky.social . I know some of you are George Saunders fans. Any way you can get him some publicity for his short story _Love Story_? It's definitely a tale for our times.

I'm watching _The Diplomat_. It's a fine show, but how sad is it that 25 years after _Felicity_ a woman's hair style is a major plot line? 😒
