No.
Follow me if you want to follow me and I’ll do the same.
This is not a transactional relationship.

The Offspring's Baby Please Come Home is a surprisingly good Christmas cover. Much less weirdness than anticipated.

Now I want Cake to sing this poem.
"I want a haircut that can win a bar fight.
I want a haircut that will
throw my things on the lawn so I can finally
get out of here."
(Really *all* of Christina Stoddard's SHEAR, but the first lines made me sit up.)

Winter tip for Minneapolis: I keep a bike pump in the back of the van that goes up to about 70 psi, for those below zero mornings when the low pressure light comes on. Normally the tires are just below 30 pounds and I pump them up to 35 and the light goes out.

Was sitting in my car waiting to pick someone up when I noticed it was my second favorite temperature, 11°f/-11°c.
My favorite is when they converge at -40°.

Crap, based on timeline context I thought this was about @gailsimone.bsky.social at first.
also full alert she’s into god now, and she “jokes” about pivoting to being a trad wife influencer. we’re t-minus 10 days til she pivots. she’s the dimes square of people (someone people try to convince me is some sort of new interesting racist, but is just a regular racist).

Help: once upon a time I read something, I think a Japanese translation, about a wise man who cut holes in his shoes to let the rain out.
Anyone recognize this?

Today's odd xmas music:
An Inuit throat-singing sister duet that released a colonialism-complicated Christmas album that my kids actually like.
I became a fan of Piqsiq while watching North of North on Netflix.

I hoard weird Christmas music.
Here is a little cover of my favorite Ebba Grön song, which was a punk remake of Nu tändas tusen juleljus.
It's really dark in Sweden.

i made a website that makes snow emergencies in Minneapolis simpler to understand: snowmpls.com
it includes a full API that can tell you whether there's a snow emergency, and what day of the emergency we're on.
soon, i'll add a little address search that'll answer yes/no to parking for the day.

I only play Christmas songs from Thanksgiving to New Years Eve, but I have collected thousands of covers and new songs.
There are at least 3-5 good new releases a year.

People who have worked retail talking about the horror of having to listen to the same holiday tunes over & over in December and I am grateful that when I worked retail I was the only person in the store & had control of the CD player in the back room.

While I’m angry that my humor book Disalmanac: A Book of Fact-Like Facts was used to train LLMs, it’s also kind of hilarious because every fact in the book is WRONG. 😂
