I’d feel better about this product if they worded it “ingredients such as” rather than “ingredients like”.

Today I learned that Death Row Records cofounder Suge Knight, currently serving 28 years for voluntary manslaughter, has a podcast called “Collect Call”, which is a pretty good name for a podcast done from prison.

For some reason, these days I find myself thinking a lot about how SimCity players would eventually get bored and start triggering disasters.

Took Giant Dog for walkies in the woods last night before it got really cold. We usually see at least a few deer on evening walks but none this time. I choose to think they were in a small rustic cabin deeper in the forest around a wood stove holding mugs of hot beverages in their hooves.

It’s really too bad that Trump’s cabinet are all spineless worms or equally crazy because “the President has gone insane and is going to destroy the transatlantic alliance because they didn’t give him a Nobel Peace Prize” is kind of exactly the thing we have a 25th Amendment for

🟠 “It’s time for you to head home my friend”
🔴 “I don’t plan to let you do that”
⚫️ [you are under the ice in a lake that will not thaw until Memorial Day]

Also seen at the Asian store: a bag of Skittles with the image of a panda with its butt up in the air, getting some kind of knuckle massage from a disembodied hand; a niche but not unheard of theme in furry art.

They have bamboo and grapefruit flavored Pepsi at the Teso Life store. If you’re a panda who isn’t currently taking statins give it a try and let me know what you think.

Found myself thinking about how much I liked and want to play Avalon Hill’s Civilization, then realizing how much of that desire is nostalgia for when I had that kind of free time and two or more friends willing to spend like eight hours playing a board game.

Elon Musk recommends that people not save for retirement since AI and robots will usher in a new age of abundance in unspecified ways and we’ll all be living on Big Rock Candy Mountain in 10 or 20 years. It feels like he’s trying to ruin credulous peoples’ lives out of sheer love of the game.

“Kopy Kat”, a print shop in Bellwood, IL. I have no idea what’s going on with those cats’ bodies or why their groins seem to be up in the vicinity of their necks, but the sign has a nice mid-century sort of look to it.

It’s a bold move making a product for what’s got to be a pretty small niche market but I’m assuming it tested well with the bears that tried it.
