Why is my TL all bunnies, birds, and rats? I've got nothing against bunnies, birds, and rats, mind you...but holy shit! There are other things in life.

My adventures around Bluesky have taught me that, weirdly, cats all have a real spelling problem.

Just my own opinion, but if a tree does not produce cherries it's not a cherry tree.

Through the years, I see it over and over again: People think to "part ways" means simply to go separate ways. But it doesn't mean that. To part ways means to disassociate over some disagreement. I am aware that some dictionaries allow the incorrect usage, but what else is new?

I made a New Year's resolution six years ago, pledging that I would try, as much as possible, to have nothing further to do with dumb people. I've mostly stuck to it -- the first New Year's resolution I've ever strenuously observed. But I had no idea how lonely it would wind up making me.

Several times a year, a peculiar kind of thirst arises in me that can only be slaked by a nice, refreshing draught of ice-cold orange juice. Today is such a day...and I will quench the fire within even if it takes a quart of liquid gold.

New rule: It is forbidden that modern artists ever draw any human countenance that is NOT mutilated by piercings, tattoos, or non-human deformities like pointy ears. I don't know who started it. Pure, simple, unmarred beauty is passé and banished as suspect...and, it would seem, hard to draw.

For weeks my TL has been populated with drawings from many artists -- humanoid caricatures featuring pointy "Mister Spock" ears -- and I don't get the appeal and I don't know what it means.

My first culinary dip into Christmassy fare this season: a generous wedge of pecan pie, topped with a dollop of peppermint bark ice cream. Now I'm feeling downright festive.

I don't know if the hairs on my stovetop are from me or a visiting mouse. Just another day in my squalid little world.

What will happen if I use my regular banana nut bread recipe...but instead of 1 2/3 of a banana mashed up, I instead use 1 1/2 cups of blueberries? Does blueberry nut bread work?

I favor bringing back an era of appreciation for the comma, people. Also, we should consider abolishing the apostrophe entirely, as its utility has been destroyed by sheer philistinism.

I don't believe the story going around claiming Kamala Harris lost because of the economy (price of eggs, etc). She lost because Trump voters are bad people; and they are now free at last.

I'd just like to say: Front wheel drive sucks. The only people who will disagree are bad drivers with no intuitive feel for driving. There. I feel better now. (P.S. Almost no one really knows how to rock a car when it's stuck.)
