Take a deep breath everyone. We’re in this for the long haul.

Except maybe the Nazi salute. You'd have had to actually pay attention to see that one coming.

Can we all make a pact to limit pictures of Trump and co. in our posts these next four years? They're ugly enough to read about without having to see them too.

Don't know about you but it's been like Halloween up in my feed this week.

I thought I had seen every Flight of the Conchords clip there was to see (if you’re not hip, get hip!). But this one that popped up in my feed for Red Nose Day New Zealand is a sweet treat.

Hey! I've started a Substack. The first essay is a reflection on the new Dylan biopic. It may be the only one out there which recounts an experience of urinating next to Dave Van Ronk.
