I know things about things.
I love movies, video games and soup.
Harlan Ellison was pretty sure I stole his wallet.

This Wawa seems to have had a no-show this morning so while I’m waiting for them to make my sandwich, I just rang someone up at the self checkout kiosk, because they were just waiting at the register while all hands are on deck making food.

I will never stop a dog I’m walking from peeing on one of those little American flags republicans put up on the edge of their property because as Thomas Jefferson famously said, “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the piss of good boys”

The day Stanley Tucci prepared us for is finally here and I have to say, I was less surprised when every @johnrogers.bsky.social story about corporate and political malfeasance and corruption came true.

I feel like if I was a Disney exec, I’d be calling the lawyers, not to send a C&D, but to extend an offer. They’re doing R-rated stuff now, this could be their fucken flagship on that sea.

Finally finished this one

For fucks sake, six Supreme Court justices definitely still believe the tyrant Obama did jade helm to practice invading Texas.

Okay, so you’re currently president, and the Supreme Court has unilaterally declared you a dictator for life, in preparation for your current political opponent’s reign that may or may not start next year. What’s your first act, and if it isn’t assassinating your opponent, why?

I always knew Barrett would vote to would remove her own right to vote, and Thomas would vote to vacate his own marriage, but I never assumed all six of those dummies would sign a decision that makes them a domestic threat to the republic and grants the president the right to kill them all.

So, this means Biden can legally assassinate all six conservative justices, right?

Roberts rules for Trump. Absolute immunity for “official acts.” Vacated and remanded. Party line case. Both Sotomayor and Jackson dissent. Fuck this. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

I’m not in the next episode of A Riverdale Runs Through It because my computer stopped working this weekend, and I spent yesterday morning fixing it, and getting so mad about it that I couldn’t think of being funny for recording that afternoon.

There’s a lot of time travel stories where the traveler back to the past communicates forward in time by putting ads in the classified section of print newspapers, which presumably exist in some kind of archival state in the future, but like. That sort of thing is already going extinct.

How long before the 6-3 court realizes that nobody has the power to stop them, or even the will to act against them in any way, and just start voting on decisions without writing tedious fake reasons. They could do corruption so much faster if they just voted and called it good.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to a game convention like pax or whatever. Has the thing where 90% of booths sell polyhedral dice collapsed yet? Did people get enough dice? Or are they still straight funco poppin it out there

Okay 3, 2, 1, let’s jam

If you were a Starfleet captain what would your catchphrase ("engage", "hit it", "make it so" etc) be?

Hi please look at these dogs and let them cheer you up

We’re okay, not terrible!

Learning to Fly just came up on my Spotify and it made me think of The Running Man, and The Postman, where music icons appeared as older versions of themselves, and it made me wonder who could carry that legacy into the future. I would believe Janelle Monae as the leader of a post apocalypse town.

I have now heard two (2) of my human clients refer to their dog drinking water in the way that I do, “getting sips”. I’m so pleased with myself right now.

As shareholders vote on Musk’s pay and analysts threaten that stock prices will drop if it isn’t approved, remember that this is exactly the equivalent of private equity forcing a company they bought into debt to extract a big payday before bailing out and driving the company to bankruptcy. 👍👍

There’s extremely jacked dog in this neighborhood always telling people “you have failed this city”

This dog park is wild. You’re telling me a creature with no opposable thumbs is going to use a salmon ladder?

It’s even weirder, apparently this dog’s owner still isn’t allowed to pick him up, he still pain yelps for her. And he also likes to be cradled in my arms with his belly up like a baby, which is pretty unusual. Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’m a witch.

First time I met this dog, I sat on their couch and he jumped on my lap, so I picked him up and he did a fake pain yelp. Owner explained he doesn’t like to be picked up. This was my third time staying with him, and at bedtime he laid on the floor crying until I picked him up and carried him to bed.

So, uh, you ever press your face up against a dog’s face?

In the near future of Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash," smart pizza boxes are automatically loaded into a delivery vehicle and immediately upload the destination and a suggested route to the driver's display. I realized that Uber is the same thing, except I am the pizza.

This has been my life for the last few days. When I get into bed, she curls up right against me and practically forces me to snuggle, and then when we wake up, it’s just drowsy lounging until one of us has to pee.

For most of my life, republicans have taken credit for gas prices going down, and blamed democrats for gas prices going up, when the reality was nobody really had any say. Here’s how Biden figured out how to have a say, and made those stupid “I did that” stickers come true, and it’s blowing my mind.

Joe Biden pulled off perhaps the greatest oil trade of all time and in the process broke OPEC's grip and basically no one knows about it. We did a long segment on it last night and it's fascinating and worth your time. www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch...

I just opened the Taco Bell app to order lunch, and it instantly played a video and audio ad that paused the music I was listening to, and it made me so fucking angry I almost threw the entire phone out the window. I did however delete the app from my phone, and sadly Taco Bell from my life.

It’s one of those days when in every quiet moment my brain starts doing the super fun algebra problem of is it worth the effort it takes me to just barely afford to survive without having a life I enjoy very much, and the equation is not balanced.

It’s really cool, having a chronic/terminal illness in a country where half of politicians believe the sick deserve suffering and death

I’ve been up all night. It is 5am now. I have to leave for work in 4 hours. If I fall asleep now, there’s no chance I’m awake for work. So my only choice is to just stay awake until I’m done doing work stuff around 10pm tonight. 👍👍
