Phaedra: "Hey, would you like a bag of dinosaur toys?"
Me: Heh, I was just quoting Firefly online. Can I pretend to be Wash?"
Phaedra: "They ARE those kind of dinosaurs."
Me: [looks] "Those should go to a child"
Phaedra: "That's why I thought of you."

Things are still terrible, but tonight, I get to go to bed with some hope.
Good night, and good luck.

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

I got out of the shower this morning and I could smell that Phaedra was up to some kind of deliciousness in the kitchen.
Cheese enchiladas for breakfast — hell yeah! 😋🥰

Yeah, that statement from Disney ain't gonna cut it.
I’m glad Jimmy’s back.
But Brendan Carr still needs to resign.

Jimmy Kimmel to Return to ABC on Tuesday After Show’s Controversial Suspension
The Walt Disney company in a new statement says the move was made "to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country."

Just putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air is not enough.
The decision makers at Disney and these giant media corporations need to be more concerned about their customers and shareholders than corrupt regulators.
Keep up the boycott until we see Disney's lawyers fighting back, at the very least.

Cancelled Disney+ and Hulu, and sold all my DIS shares at a loss. Won't renew our Magic Keys next year.
Disney's lawyers have plenty of experience fighting and winning against First Amendment violations. Siding with fascism is a choice, and I won't reward it with my money.

If there’s a locally owned joint or small business you love, support them as much as you can. Tell your friends. Send tourists their way.
It’s so hard out there, y’all. And it isn’t gonna get any easier any time soon. Support them before they’re gone.

The phrase “ parents have a legitimate concern about integration of races in schools and as a party, we haven’t done a very good job of listening to those concerns.” would shock and offend I would hope. A similar statement about trans kids should also shock and offend.

The Embassy Suites in El Paso has their house music set to ‘shit GenXers like.’
I could seriously swap in my iTunes library and no one would notice.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

I feel like iTunes on my phone is aware that I’m driving through Texas, because it’s been playing all of my Stevie Ray Vaughan and ZZ Top.
