Works in a library. Socially awkward. I yell at the TV during baseball, soccer and hockey games. Autism father. Haver of unpopular opinions. Griller of sacred cows. Epic force behind Authority Control.

I've removed Authority Control's music from Spotify. To do that it had to leave all streaming platforms, for now I hope. Here's where the art is parked now.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

This guy was left in the library yesterday. 🪵
We don't know much about him but he keeps telling us
1) that he's Stick Man
and
2) that he's trying to get back to the family tree
If you left Stick Man behind you can collect him from reception.

It's not the smoke, pollution or toxic chemicals - no it's The Sun's fault!
For years, geoengineering—artificially lowering global temperatures through technological means—has been met with skepticism. But the progression of climate change has pushed many scientists to seriously consider the strategy, Alexander C. Kaufman writes:
Who’s Ready to Think About Blocking Out the Sun?
The idea of artificially lowering the planet’s temperature is gaining supporters and hitting political opposition.

So long to the Happiest Boy in the Majors. Nimmo to Texas for Semien. Mets get older but with improved defense at second. This could make McNeil expendable unless he stays in the outfield. I think more deals are coming.

Saw the young man today. He had a different type of helmet for his head banging. The holidays and him never meshed. He does not really seem to care what day it is. One year he grabbed the undecorated tree and carried it into another room.

Is he a Christian? We have to look at the good and bad sides. Because Christians deserve a chance at redemption since Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr…

Former GOP state rep Austin Smith (Turning Point guy) has pleaded guilty to election fraud. He was caught submitting more than 100 forged signatures on his petition for reelection -- that he personally forged.
“ludicrous!!” he said before pleading guilty.

"We have made a new plane where you can't actually sit or stand but rather are packed in like half kneeling sardines. if you sneeze, you'll hit your head on four different objects and get six people sick. Now please, for God sake, wear your Sunday best and be in a good mood. Wifi will be $50.00"
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Civility goes both ways. If airports, security and airlines treated people better travel would be easier for everyone. Dress has nothing to do with that.
As travelers head to the airports this holiday season, the U.S. government wants them to rethink their travel checklists, their behavior — and also, their outfits. It's a part of a new campaign by Sean Duffy, the secretary of transportation, that he called “The Golden Age of Travel Starts With You.”

What a lying piece of junk science.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
