Playing with the stereo setup a bit tonight, and everything is sounding good. Sorry to the neighbors. (It's super nice outside, so every window in the house is open)

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I mean, theoretically, I'd even be down with blending in a bit of basil leaf, just to experiment with the flavor. But the seeds make less sense to me.

I'm down with watermelon juice, but the basil seeds do seem an odd choice.

😂 I did not know that! And having only one person blocking me through there seems oddly specific.

Somehow I ended up on one of those, and I can't figure out who was apparently so heinous that I followed that I made it to a block list?

Once again, there's already plenty of damning material out there, it's just been swept under the rug with the help of complicit media outlets.

I'm not sure if there are different varieties, but my sweet bay plants do not have serrated edges on the leaves.

Just watched the kids across the street carry out a dead possum on a snow shovel, and dump it in the neighbor's garbage can, when their own can was sitting right next to it. Classy.

Shit, I posted that like a day ago. Fuck it, it's a good song, I'm leaving it.

My condolences on the loss of your friend, Ms Nina. I hope her memory is a shining light for you for the rest of your days.

A while back I saw a gen 1 Dodge Neon, seemingly in perfect condition, go down the street, and I'm pretty sure I stopped in my tracks and watched it, mouth agape.

You'd have thought the guy was riding an elephant, by my reaction.

That's heavier rock stuff for me. Once in a while now, but I've gone soft in my middle ages.
