Whatever Pixel heard, it alarmed her.
I couldn't hear it, but it was apparently worth the serious face. #cats
These two quotes are some of my favorites and the commonality is also that they both have indiscernible origins, often attributed to Marcus Aurelius for the first and Donald Miller for the second. Now we have corporations fighting for control of the information that we consume.

I don't know what manic and unhinged speech this came from lately, but it gave South Park some new heads to use in new episodes, I'm sure.

I've noticed several people (on other platforms) posting the scene from "V For Vendetta" of when things got serious, after an officer of the state (Fingermen) killed a masked little girl. That's what I thought of when that happened in Minnesota.

I had to retire this shirt from my wardrobe because of too many random, public altercations.
Seriously, it's just a curved row of colors.

I'd rather not actually be unalived in middle of a store over a joke t-shirt by some snowflake maga who wants to die on the dumbest nothing ant hill ever.

One of the few bands I've ever seen with two drumkits on stage.

Helluva cover of a song from 1918.
Chelsea Wolfe has the haunting and ghostly, floaty vocals working for her, imo.

A good horror doesn't just scare you with jump scares, it leaves you with some emotional damage, maybe from some similar circumstances that resonated with you. This was one of those for me. A few tracks made it into playlists.

Sometimes you just need to clear the noise for everything wrong with the world for a little bit. Another progressive band. Mostly non-vocal. #music

I've been more into hard rock, instrumental, progressive music lately. This band mostly does that, but their guitar player sometimes sings and he's not bad.

This band's rendition of "Seasons" by Chris Cornell is pretty good to me. I think the point of a cover is to put your own twist/mark on it. It's a nice tribute.

I have this same logic with Israel.

He's talking ranting about other countries he wants to take over next, like Cuba and saying they are being run poorly.

THIS country is being run poorly and he wants to increase his sphere of gross mismanagement. An intervention is overdue. Other leaders are alarmed for good reason.

Made some new friends the other day. I got a 4-pack of each.
These stouts were meant to be mixed together.
The strawberry is sweeter than the chocolate. They're both 10% ABV. I like them by themselves and together.
And, yes, I use a metal chopstick to stir drinks, I just rinse it off.

What the hell is going on? He's acting like Putin and other dictators of the past. Is every Republican just going to sit on their hands and say nothing? This is just batshit insane.
No guardrails now.

I have a cat maintenance question with something I never dealt with before.
Mongo has matted fur on his back. I'm leary of bathing him.
Could I just shave the area?
I have a shaver that's curved for shaving a person bald.

I'm not sure why exactly, but this clip for the Jack Ryan show has been going viral. I've never watched it. Looks interesting.

If this phtoshoot at the Florida resort is close to reality and telling... there's no military leaders making decisions, just under qualified TV personalities playing with people's lives. The is all a game to them.

"Team America : World Police" is supposed to be a ridiculous puppet movie, not policy. I thought we were going more towards "Idiocracy".

Merry Christmas to me.
It was the changing of the guard, hardware wise.
GPUs are about to spike in price for multiple reasons, the 5060 was on sale, I had a gift card and credit card points saved up.
The planets or stars lined up just right or something.
