A Toronto Blue Jays championship would obviously piss MAGA off to no end. Keep that in mind, my dejected Yankee fan friends.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

There's the potential for no more power transfers, but there's also a north-star confidence in the power of the pardon.

Yes, the "somewhat redeeming" factor I'm allowing is that he's clearly in it as a paying gig. I really know nothing about him, but would prefer this be a person's motive rather than frothing nationalism. And in the end, being motivated by profit is very American anyway.

Okay, this is true, and is even somewhat redeeming in my book. Not that the Lee Greenwood song GOD BLESS YOU CANADA is itself suitable for actual listening, really.

Me—in the car—quizzing my kid since we'd watched the trailer* for DR. NO earlier today: "What was the name of the Ursula Andress character in DR. NO? It was Honey…?"
Kid: "×Honey Bear?"

*cultural lesson after kid announced she was putting on her "shoes & shocks", sounding like Sean Connery.

Put this animation on for the kid yesterday as we took a back road avoiding traffic. As the days shorten, this is a good drill for exposing her to classic cartoons & other worthwhile short films w/o interference from her mom. Asked if she might want to learn the clarinet: "maybe." #PeterAndTheWolf

They still haven't gotten these back in, but today is/was when the 2025 line of mini tote bags drop/ped, including a Halloween color scheme and a kind of #WitchHazel (from Looney Tunes) multi-color scheme: black, purple, green, and orange. My kid locked her bedroom doors this morning to cut school…

A sign by the mini tote bags—which are being guarded and distributed by a team of employees to discourage raids by eBay reseller types—reads 《WE ARE REQUESTING CUSTOMERS LIMIT THEIR PURCHASE TO 4 BAGS PER CUSTOMER

We are a neighborhood store and want many customers to have an opportunity to purchase these little gems》

A line stretches out from the Trader Joe's mini tote distribution bin. The first colors to be depleted were the Halloween black w/ orange details and what I've dubbed the Witch Hazel

Probably due to more overtly promote the 3 gigs Hanggai has coming up in Canada next month—in Toronto then Montreal then Ottawa. They've also got this new/underpromoted YouTube channel. To wit: this video posted elsewhere has >1.5M views. Spoke w/ Batubagen yesterday, in 他的家乡： ᠪᠠᠭᠠᠷᠢᠨ ᠪᠠᠷᠠᠭᠤᠨ ᠬᠣᠰᠢᠭᠤ

Hi-Fructose Magazine is now on here via @ap.brid.gy at @hifructose.com.web.brid.gy, but I'm hoping their automatically-generated posts will become more visual by whatever mechanism, as I'd imagine that's the main driver of clicks & follows—secondary to their curation, of coz bsky.app/profile/hifr...

[Black-and-white image shows a sort family portrait from an alternate universe where this was not even a Halloween post despite everyone seeming to be in costume. There's a Casper the Friendly Ghost, a Wookie, a skeleton, lots of dogs everywhere, a pretty woman who may or may not be the artist—no idea—a spooky doll or child with doll-like proportions, and a central father figure who evokes the Man-Thing -sized Sweetums from The Muppets, at least IMO]

I have collected posters since childhood, but this is one of the few actually hanging on a wall near me at the moment. I think I bought out the rest of this run, back when Stout had fewer limits in place; I've gifted some since. I paid no attention to the the print # framed; prefer #343… #TylerStout

A close-up aspect shot of the FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS poster hanging on my wall, which reveals some things via the stickers on the guitar strapped on and hanging in playable position for the Grim Reaper. The stickers read "with Arh Barker"; "Santa Barbara Bowl"; "May 22nd"; "2009; " I ♥️ NIGEL "; 2 stickers bear the likenesses of the fictional-yet-real band's 2 members; there's a bowling sticker that kinda mocks the ambiguous naming of the venue; there's a New Zealand flag sticker, and a rainbow sticker, and a happy face sicker, and a frog sticker, and some kind of robot sticker that someone may understand better than I do. The boombox is prerty accurately detailed, but has in its blue top border the initials TJS for Tyler J. Stout. The colors are most defined by the light blue that pops against a hot pink, but other almost day glo elements are in there of green and purple and definitely yellow as well

《ChatGPT fucks my wife

and I'm really not all that pressed about it.

A natural evolution on our path to enlightenment, the fatal flaw made obsolete.

She enjoys the median output of the best lovers in history: Alcibiades' favorite positions, King Edward's lessons from the sex chair. Cleopatra's dominating presence, Solomon's finest poetry, in a package just the right size, delivered how and when she wants it-

Work smarter, not harder, right?

It sends me an automated email to let me know the labor I've conserved in a weekly insights report: Hours logged, achievements reached, orgasms tallied.

It saves me on average 15 minutes a day, every day, that I can spend checking my email.

But I press my ear against the door, sometimes, and wonder

what I'm missing.

So we'll either get up there at expense of time, fuel & beloved Toronto opportunities, in borrowed seasonal wear but w/ the perk of my being able to meet his kids—I met his now-wife in Beijing in 2013, & dog-sat the Shiba Inu of the now-married couple—or we'll lure him/them down to visit his EtobiCo

Heather Cox Richardson is the version I might catch up with to make sense of some recent day. It comes loaded with important newsmaker/analyst perspectives from around social media, & even reading one from years ago can be worthwhile. I also used to scope the Harpers Index regularly… changed my life
