These days when society trends toward hate and bigotry, I rebel and practice radical kindness. You're all beautiful, awesome people and the world is 1000% better that you're in it. Carl Sagan said "The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself."

Reminder for Valentine's Day for those who are not in a relationship whether they wish they were or have no interest in that, self love is also important as is platonic love! So do something fun whether by yourself or with friends! Personally I'm heading to a nearby cat cafe.

Once saw Penn and Teller at a performance hall here in NJ. We had cheap seats and by the time we got out they were outside on the steps. We thanked them and told them we really enjoyed the show and Teller shook my hand and thanked me for coming.
What is YOUR most mundane celebrity encounter?
Belle and Sebastian asked me to hold the elevator for them at a Holiday Inn in Paris, after a gig...

Caught up to the latest episode of SFA I've been hearing so much about and, no shock, loved it. Great episode. I understand that there are people out there who just raise their hackles at anything new and they approach things with a want to dislike it and criticize it. I just don't understand why.

The problem with pigs-in-blankets is, if you're not careful, you could easily eat 8 whole crescent rolls without thinking.

Hey y'all.
A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.
Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

Quite possibly the most substantial scientific breakthrough of my lifetime, developed in my country, and the government is deliberately throttling it in the cradle in an effort to curry favor with the dumbest people alive

I swear, this cat. The same cat who, during my streams, will perch on top of my chair and wildly chase her tail. She knows how to push my buttons to no end, but just look at her. The portrait of innocence. I can't.

Oof. I've let my beard grow a bit this past week and it's already hit that point where I'm questioning just letting it grow more as shaving it all now is going to be a bit of a project.

The snow that fell over 2 weeks ago is finally attempting to melt, but it has nowhere to go as everything is still covered in sheets of ice.

Wife ordered a fondue from HF so we can have snacks for the game tonight. It's a snacking and noshing holiday. However, we didn't get it. They delivered to the wrong address. We got a full refund for it... and an hour later the person who actually got it hand-delivered it to our home. Score! 🏈

Going to scarf down a bit of Italian hoagie and then start this up. Come hang out in 15 minutes or so if you are so inclined and don't have anything better to do.

QRS with a gif of your first gaming console.
I respect it, a lot of my friends had the NES, but my parents wanted me to have that same experience but more budget-friendly.
