Today was my ninth anniversary over at the Ex.
I celebrated by pinning my final post there to say goodbye and good riddance, and then I uninstalled the app.
The air smells better already.

My first trip to Las Vegas is winding down. Had a blast. Things got a little crazy, as evidenced by my comprehensive photo log of casino carpets.

Good morning from 100 Centre Street in Manhattan, where the President-elect is set to be criminally sentenced on 34 felony convictions for falsification of business records.

The sarsaparilla is strong in this one...
In an effort to ignore the hideous reality we are all facing, here's a picture of me as a cowboy for no apparent reason. 🤠

No duck could ever be more lame.
The lamest duck.

I said this on the show, but something that hasn’t sunk in, I think. We haven’t had a “new” president who is sworn in and is immediately a lame duck in the nation’s entire history. When Grover Cleveland was sworn in a second time we didn’t have the 22nd amendment!

Bluesky currently exists in that awkward growth spurt phase where nearly all posts receive either 10k Likes, or 3 Likes.
I'll forever be a "3-Like" guy here, most likely.

Spotify provided me with my report card this afternoon. No surprises. The most-often-played tunes are all on my Alarm Clock playlist so they'll be perennial favorites according to the algorithms.

It costs you nothing for you to share this.
For every $1 you donate to your local food pantry you'll be providing 12 pounds of food — the equivalent of 10 meals — to families in need this holiday season.

Anybody who thinks Bluesky is an “echo chamber” hasn’t done something edgy like suggest maybe there is a chance the Democrats, including me, made mistakes and we should figure that out soon.

There's a blue butterfly on my phone where a black X used to be.
The black X is still on my phone, but it has been relegated to a screen I would only see by scrolling past several other seldom-seen screens.
Baby steps, but I am moving on.

As a child I was homeless and often without food.
Even just $1 to your local food bank can make a difference this holiday season.

When your relatives start arguing at Thanksgiving, calmly grab your favorite serving bowl of food like you're going to the kitchen to refill it, and just don't come back. Quietly escape with your favorite food.

Everyone got SO MAD when I started singing Gravity during the movie! Like I’m sorry but I PAID to be here. It’s not my fault Wicked was sold out and I had to see Gladiator II.

Today's music recommendation: Blaze Foley. I don't know if I would have heard him (or heard of him) if he hadn't died tragically and too young.
Today's board game rec: Space Base. Go play.
