What is the best holiday song, and why is the answer “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” (specifically the Darlene Love version)?
#Christmas

I’ve heard rumors that you’re allowed to not like something on the internet and just keep that to yourself.

My tween child quipped that I was being crazy (which is usual for when I’m silly), and without hesitation I said “How can you say I’m crazy? When I went to your schools, I went to your churches, I went to your institutional learning facilities…” and from the other room my wife called out my name…

Baseball confession: I’m a Dodger fan and of course hope they win, but if the Blue Jays take it and the Dodgers do not have to go to whatever is left of the White House next year I could live with that quite easily. #WorldSeries

Be advised: The only kings we acknowledge in Los Angeles are the one who play hockey.

Would it kill us to spell it “A.I.” so it doesn’t look like what comes between “Weird” and “Yankovic”?

What is abbreviated there probably is going to kill us eventually but in the meantime we can use our human intellect to distinguish it in writing with some punctuation.

I’m never more optimistic than when, after waking up with less than an hour before the alarm, I lay there and pretend there’s a chance I could fall back to sleep.
Did I say “optimistic”? I meant delusional.

“With age comes wisdom” is very often not true.

Few recall when the dark lord of the Sith rocked a sleeveless long shawl rather than a standard cape.

May the Fourth Be With You.

(Yes, this is a vintage Darth Vader action figure that somehow didn’t get donated or thrown out or misplaced since my childhood.)

Here are some songs I listened to today, all from my library, some from random shuffle and some intentionally added to the queue. #music

This was my pinned tweet at the old place. It’s very depressing in light of how the world went, but I still think it was funny at the time.

Although there’s nothing to celebrate about the current presidency, for #PresidentsDay in general I will share this post from my old blog from 15 years ago (yeah, used to be something I did) that still is vaguely applicable, at least semantically.

That’s one way to keep Trump from getting to see Taylor Swift’s boyfriend at the White House. #FlyEaglesFly #SuperBowl

At least the Bills won’t have to endure a Trump invitation to the White House after a Super Bowl victory.

Well, that was one way the Lions could ensure they wouldn’t have to attend a ceremony at the Trump White House.

I have made one post in 11 days on this platform (which has 3 likes), left one comment, and I have 73 followers. I appreciate that, of course, but in 13 years on Twitter I only got 67, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t get that much more interesting (inasmuch as I ever was).

My Apple Music Replay for 2024, top artists. Make of this what you will, as I listen mostly to what’s in my library on shuffle (although with some curation—perhaps I’ll explain that at some point).
