Indianapolis, Indiana--the city so nice, they named it one and a half times.
(One and seven twelfths, if you want to be really precise.)

Notre Dame’s women’s basketball team is ranked lower than I expected, but I’m sure a win over ranked Michigan will set things straight. Let me just sip a mouthful of pop and check the game results…

The Dropkick Murphys' Veterans Day tribute/honor for the people of Ukraine. But what really left me agog as a person who follows politics is the appearance of former Republican Congressman (former Republican former Congressman, to be precise) and all-around Interesting Person Denver Riggleman.
New single by @dropkickmurphys.com just dropped. Helluva Veterans Day tribute, filmed IN UKRAINE. Watch and share. And BZ to all who wore the uniform—and who still stand for freedom.

It's a measure of how bad things have gotten that when I heard that Dick Cheney had died my first thought was "lucky!" rather than "good."

It's surprising how rarely the word "stagflation" is appearing in the media, though on second thought we must remember the media likes Donald Trump and wants him to win, and the prospect of stagflation would not help him.

Stop fucking texting me.
(I like to embroider the "stop" messages for the junk texts I get from Republicans--Winsome Sears, in this case--who think I'm a right-wing nutjob named Milton. If I ever catch the person who used my number on something that got added to a RWNJ mailing list...)

Since Roku is on my mind: does anyone recommend a replacement remote for a Roku stick? Searching on Amazon for “replacement remote Roku stick” gets all kinds of helpful matches that prominently include my keywords in phrases like “NOT FOR ROKU STICK.”

There’s an announcement on my Roku home screen, “Sean Hannity’s wanted dead or alive.”
For some reason I am reminded of an old Looney Tunes episode in which a desperado’s wanted poster says he’s wanted dead or alive, with a bit at the bottom adding “preferably dead.”

If you’re going to try and argue that your Nazi tattoo can be excused because you were drunk when you got it, you probably shouldn’t be on record arguing that if women don’t want to be raped they should refrain from being drunk around strangers.

They’re teachers, nurses, Mennonites, and Marines. The Trump administration calls them antifa.
The No King protests represent a broad popular front. That's exactly why the president's allies are demonizing the organizers.

"Not all southerners" is to American electoral politics what "not all men" is to feminism.
there’s always a big stupid discourse on this website about how southern states are full of good people and but for the interference of the politicians, they’d all vote the right way, but abbott won by more than ten points in the last election, maybe texas just fucking sucks

I really want to see a Transformers cartoon or comic where one of the Autobots is a Cybertruck, and all it does is try to transform into a robot inside parking garages only to smash its head into a concrete ceiling.

The MoCo approach to traffic safety in a nutshell: if you drive too fast for the conditions and hit and seriously injure someone who's *inside* *a* *building*, that's a "nobody's fault" oopsie. (It's obviously not your fault!)
On Tues 9/2/25 9:20 am
a worker (65/F) who was in a janitor's closet
was hit & seriously injured by the driver (26/M) of a 2009 Toyota RAV4
who was going too fast for conditions
in the Bonifant-Dixon parking garage.
Police (MCP34140023) did not find anyone at fault.

Brunswick, Georgia. In retrospect I would have been happiest just spending the week at the Jacksonville airport.
(Breezewood, Pennsylvania would also be a contender, except it’s not really a “city” and in any case is much classier than Brunswick.)

I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. It’s incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

Thanks to @waba.org for putting on the 50 States Ride this weekend! (I now hate Garfield Street NW!) Unfortunately, while I requested the largest size t-shirt I only got an XL. Were 2XLs available and, if so, is there any way I could trade for a larger shirt?
