Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

It's homecoming for our daughters in both high school and college, and one of my favorite bands!

@thefamouspaul.bsky.social A friend of a friend of my wife was involved in original animation for the 90s X-Men show. They can't identify this character. Any ideas?

I don't know what the f**k I did to make Facebook think I'm a furry, but I'm torn between being happy that the algorithm doesn't know me, and terrified that the algorithm thinks it does.

The performer I'm working with today is a little grumpy about how there are "so many rules" in downtown Madison after being yelled at for running a stop sign by a guy crossing the road and my advising him to not park across a crosswalk.

Sometimes I just feel like the yell at the start of "Mr. Wendal" sums up how I feel.

I realized today that out of the hundreds and hundreds of cables we have at the River Arts Center, I have a favorite. Not because it's a unique *type* of cable, just because it's a particularly good cable.

Every morning on my commute, I await with baited breath for WIBA FM to tell me if the top Foo Fighters songs "thumbs up-ed" on iHeartRadio have changed from the day before.

"Burr Grinder" sounds like an app for people who are WAY too into "Hamilton", but it's just the best kind of coffee grinder.

It's apparently St. Patrick's Day weekend, and since I don't have vodka and a rag to have the official cocktail of the day, I guess it's okay for me to have a margarita ahead of 5pm.

On a podcast discussing a sex toy with a camera on it, I didn't expect a priest to joke "they used to call that teledildonics"...
