FAPs (Frequently Asked Petes):

Q: You don’t follow me, why did you like or comment on my post?

A: Because I came across your post on What’s Hot Classic or in a reply to someone I follow and thought it was worth interacting with.

Q: Is this a bit?

A: I’m not sure.
Of all this shit in 2025 the last two here are the most depressing.
Scott Thompson, actor (most notably of The Kids in the Hall sketch comedy series from Canada), flaming gay, transphobe, and misogynist, is indeed a real person.

This is a really good New Republic article about trans people leaving the country. Do some research about getting visas. Start now. It is harder and slower than you think, and there are no opportunities for asylum right now. It also is entirely doable.

When Is It Time to Flee?
Trans people and their families are facing hard questions and choices as threats to their safety and rights proliferate.

I’m at the stage of cooking thanksgiving dinner where I wonder why I’m doing all this for two people. My back - not happy. But still.

Two things from driving to Cumby’s to get milk:

1. The lottery really is a tax on those who can’t afford it.
2. It’s apparently a free weekend on SXM if you want to listen to the same 100 songs on 40 different stations.

Trump will give a speech about the shooting that will be how he wasn’t hurt and how the terrorists are trying to stop his big, beautiful ballroom.

Oddly enough Trump’s ear just started bleeding down in Mar-A-Lardo.

Childhood memories. This time inspired by @scalzi.com. My father was a piece of work. Think Archie Bunker. Unlike me, music was not something he needed to live. Having said that he had two 8-tracks (look it up kids) he played to death: Sing Along with Mitch (Miller), and the Broadway Hello, Dolly.

Weird that WashPost came out in favor of paper towels.

They had a song called “Felching” that has been in my brain for the last few days. Decent song but I’m ready for a new one.

ICE: we commit a crime so that a non-white person doesn’t have to.
They truly believe this! Like when they arrest a noncitizen who committed a crime years ago and has been out of prison for a decade, they put out a press release claiming they saved the public from a serious threat, even if the person has been law-abiding for years and is a random ex-con doing well.
To paraphrase what an ICE field director said at a Texas hiring event earlier this year: what makes ICE different from other law enforcement officers is that we catch criminals "before" a crime is committed.

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand... You look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you... You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back... but you're not helping. Why is that Charlie Brown?
I’m not the guy you kill, Charlie Brown. I’m the guy you buy!
This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass, Charlie Brown

Just misread harm reduction as ham reduction. I am not in favor of the second one.
