Ah, Christmas in the '80s. When Pee Wee Herman dreamt of a Canadian artist singing about a Reggae Christmas while sleeping at MTV Studios. Or *was* it all just a dream...? 🤔

We didn't think about it very hard back in the day.

PSA: My Christmas Season officially starts at 12pm EST Thanksgiving Day, when Santa Claus crosses Herald Square during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This is non-negotiable in my little world.

(Non-US-folks, feel free to apply this rule to your own little worlds if you like.)

Just going to toot the horn of a YouTube channel I've fallen in love with. The subscriber list has grown nicely since I started watching, but I think they deserve more. 😊

@altcdc.altgov.info @altcdc2.bsky.social @altdhs.altgov.info @altfda.altgov.info @ash.hematology.org Just flew to DC to talk to Congressional staff in person because nobody's taking action. I can't believe we're having to win battles already won.

Amplify Rep Lieu's OG post. Here is a dem doing the exact messaging we ask for showing visually how fucked up this is.
Democrats are in DC working to lower costs, cancel the cuts, and save health care.

Where are congressional Republicans?

It’s the day before a government shutdown... and they’re on vacation.

Since 1967, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has helped make all of your favorite docs, children's programming, trusted news, and more possible. Now that Congress has defunded public media, CPB will cease to exist. We'll pause today on 📻 (11:59a) and 📺 (7p) to reflect on this historic loss.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post.

I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing.

Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner.

The Washington Post Accused Me of “Gross Misconduct.” Here's My Response.
This fight isn’t just about my job — it’s about who gets punished for telling the truth, and who gets protected for spreading hate and violence.

I was in college in 1991 and this song would have been right up my alley. Yet today is the first time I've heard it (from another friend who had the same experience).

So now you get to hear it. Maybe for the first time.

Gaming latest: more TTRPG than video. Running a new Fallout 2d20 game. One PC is a severely depressed Mister Handy with a Game Show Host voice (think Marvin and Guy Smiley's love child), one (my kid, lol) is a Robobrain with a radroach head inside.

Apples and trees and all that, I guess. 😆
