This cannot be real.

Please, please let this be real.
TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks.

these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

On the list of unlikely overlapping fandoms, my favorite dungeon master and the metal band fronted by a goblin... actually shouldn't have been surprising at all, once I say it out loud like that...

Our federal government now operates like a shady insurance company. I wonder if Arkansas feels like they've been made great again yet.

Microsculptures! Wild! Imagine being the best in the world at something not only because you're mind-blowingly good at it, but because almost nobody else would have even thought to attempt it.

Ok, so I'm not attributing to malice what can be attributed to incompetence here, but I'm trying to imagine the conversation:

"What symbol should we use on this government ID?"
"How about a yellow star?"
"I see absolutely no issue with that. Stars are pretty, everyone likes stars"

Big "what if I ran away and joined the circus and by circus I mean a power metal band that writes songs about dragons" mood today.

In Atlanta and oh man I had forgotten what an absolute lock the south has on comfort food for me. Biscuit + fried green tomato sandwich, waffle with peach cobbler on top, and grits that are probably 40% butter. No shame in admitting it, I cried y'all. Shout out to Atlanta Breakfast Club.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Here's a hopeful song. At this point, if today is the nadir of our misery I'll count it as a big, big win.

An analogy only my software dev friends will get, but it works so well I'm surprised it took me this long to think of it.

You know how at the start of covid we all realized just how often we touch our faces without realizing it? I just painted my nails for the first time, and tonight was like that for me, but with my pinky nails touching my other fingers what the 🤬🤬🤬

I'm not perfect about this either, but it's still good advice.
You can honor David Lynch by wearing a mask in public.

He had to begin isolating at home because he has emphysema- a COVID infection would likely be fatal- and no one wears masks anymore.

Millions of others like him (including myself) were left behind when COVID measures were abandoned

What a time to be alive. In a week I'm get to watch these nerds play Dungeons and Dragons for a sold out Madison Square Garden, and I couldn't be more excited. As if that's not wild enough, by most metrics they're not even the most popular group doing the RPG-as-theater thing these days. Incredible.
