‘Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems,
When a stop-motion movie invaded our dreams.
For the film that we are about to explore
Takes place in the holiday worlds of yore.
Now, is it a Christmas movie? Or Halloween?
To be honest, it’s more likely somewhere in between.

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

When we win back power from the fascists, we must put a weapons-grade shock collar on Big Tech. And we must prosecute and imprison demons like Elon Musk.

one day people will look back at the term “biological women” the same way we look back at racist terminology from the 1910s. a euphemistic anti-science phrase with no actual meaning other than indicating an intent to discriminate against a group based on the circumstances of their birth

Shifting past tense is pretty neat. When you're weaving, the yarn that you move back and forth to make new fabric is "the weft" - the only place where that very old past participle of "to weave" survives. Weave once followed the pattern of "to leave" but then somehow changed to wove instead of weft.
What’s the correct past tense of “to plead”?
pleaded, of course
or pled
or, JFC, plead

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

So I’m getting into my truck at the grocery store and a voice yells “Hey! Young lady!”
I am 48 so I did not turn, but then I see wild waving out a truck window. Old man straight off Duck Dynasty, full camo, beard to his sternum. He says “Your bumper sticker! Read books, punch Nazis?”

I love when Boingo resurrected songs. "Lost Like This" got an album release on 1994's Boingo, but it was originally demoed ten years earlier, for Good For Your Soul. That album had so many songs in the works that it could easily have been a double!
