This is my least favorite time of year to live in a second floor unit.

It hit 70 degrees today. It’s in the low 50s right now.

My air conditioning just kicked on.

Met my BFF via WoW and we’ve even met in person, at her wedding, which was to someone she also met in WoW. (I adore them both.)

as the weird kid in high school in the 90s, the most valuable lesson MST3K taught me was that it’s okay to wave your freak flag high.

There are people I met through LiveJournal over 20 years ago now that I’ve never met in person but am still in contact with consider dear friends.

thankfully Spanberger seems to be pro-trans rights. The VA-Gov election was never going to be close because of a couple factors so if she was in the “abandon trans people to appeal to that magical unicorn centrist voter,” you’d have a lot of terrible people going “SEE?! SEE?!?!”

I’ve never heard a duet where it’s more obvious the two singers were not remotely in the same room. At least try to hide that fact!

This is an amazing thread about airports and I’ve flown, like, a half dozen times in my life.

Some things I've learned in my first few weeks:

1) There is a grey market candy swapping racket between janitors, TSA agents, CSRs, and everyone else who has to stand someplace all day at the airport.

Hi-chews, sour candies, and gummy anything are in highest demand.

Rivers never recovered from the initial reaction to Pinkerton, even though it’s retroactively become much better, but it does explain almost entirely the rest of Weezer’s discography.

I believe Get Over It was in the Madden game that year!

I feel like when I started following you many years later, I was like "well he's certainly mellowed out a bit."

I had such a blast at even a mid sized event like Commandfest Worcester that I want to go to more things in 2026. What should I be looking at?

East coast preferred, open to Midwest events, driving distance from New York a big plus.

Zach Bryan calls out ICE as he teases new song 'Bad News'

Country star Zach Bryan, a U.S. Navy veteran, dropped a snippet that seemingly addresses American politics: "The fading of the red, white, and blue."

it is indeed not the future, because all it does it regurgitate the past.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Rebecca’s finest hour (not counting the Synthia’s Selects intros). She’s hysterical.

It’s nice to have options for that, at least.

Tim Briody @timbriody.bsky.social · 3d

Also happy birthday, I should have remembered that and texted you, I suck. ❤️

Hmmm can I gift you a book via Amazon?
