Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, & one song you can’t stand:

- broccoli
- “Dancer In The Dark” (getting destroyed once was enough, thanks)
- [insert Smashing Pumpkins track name here]

- Cucumber anything. However you think it tastes, that is not how it tastes to me
- Farewell, My Concubine (Beautiful. Brutal. Once was enough)
- Collective Soul, “December”

Sundays nights on WBLM, radio under the covers bc it was way past bedtime. Required listening, else one risked ridicule from the rest of the friend group Monday mornings at school. I made several tapes. I clearly recall Weird Al’s debut of “My Bologna”.

so, this weekend the great Dr. Demento did his final show. I could write a lot about the importance of his show to me & my friends when we were 12 and 13. there's more to it than "he played funny stuff" and "his show is where @alyankovic.bsky.social got his start." 1/3

A little known fact is that, when confronted with an ICE agent, the North American Protest Frog can inflate to up to 100x its normal size to frighten off predators.

You should also try changing your stance to appear bigger and hanging your food in bags high enough off the ground that they can't reach.

Achilles @achilleslaststand.bsky.social · 10h

Using tactics like loud noise and light to scare off ICE, I love it

Yesterday, I read that, according to Gen Z, when a Millenial puts "lol" at the end of something, it makes them sound old.

They said nothing about Gen X, but, whatever, lol

If you love baseball, even if you don't like musicals I can't recommend this show highly enough. Seriously. It's at Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ through 11/2.

Meredith 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @smoemeth.bsky.social · 12h

I love my talented friends. Susan Werner's music for "Bull Durham" is phenomenal. You can tell a lifelong Cubs fan wrote it.

Credits page from the playbill for "Bull Durham - The Musical" at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ. Music & Lyrics by Susan Werner, book by Ron Shelton (who also wrote the original screenplay).

#Seattle have you heard of any groups doing anything (a service protect if you will) on 10/18? I just saw one of our local events is a "chalk in" of the words "Rainbow Love" and "peace" and then a march to the Mexican consulate and ... why?

Yep. Funerals, weddings, & took my mom to Xmas Mass but now she's gone so that doesn't happen any more. I just about fell over when I read this story. "They did WHAT"

Because boy, howdy, nobody knows ritual and symbolism like the Catholic Church, and having it turned squarely back on the Very Bad Catholics who have been the public standard-bearers of wielding it for evil for so long is really good to see.

Come out or don't come out as you please, it's a weird time for it. Do what works for you.

(And if you're still sorting things out, that's fine. Some weirdos don't even figure this out until middle-age—imagine that!) (Or later, even.)
