I've never once had a colleague I disliked because they tried to actively deny people I care about their basic human rights.
Wait...we've spent days waiting for someone to admit Mitch McConnell is dead, and out of nowhere, Lindsey Graham dies? Look, one fewer evil piece of garbage in the world is a good thing, but the words of Captain James T. Kirk are ringing in my head awfully loud. Rule of threes, don't let us down.
At last, proof McConnell is alive. Here he is at a press conference from earlier this morning.
From today's ebook newsletter. I'm going to say "Rose Miller" either doesn't exist, or does and used gAI herself, because the placement of those power lines is suspect to say the least. Also, "AI gave advice" doesn't let you off the hook, assuming that's true -- which I personally doubt.
I feel bad for anyone who dearly wants to buy a house in the current market. We got ours in 2019 in a town that hadn't been "discovered" yet. It's since been discovered, and the property values have gone bonkers. We could not buy our home today -- and it's not a big, extravagant home. (1/2)
"I spoke with my old friend Mitch McConnell."
It's apparently the anniversary of me sending the most scathing letter I've ever written, to a law firm that was hassling me over allegedly unpaid EZ-Pass tolls attached to a car I never owned. I had to fax -- FAX -- my supporting documents to them. Anyway, they stopped bothering me.
Tonight's new book by @djangowexler.bsky.social (which I discovered on Bluesky) accompanied by a carajillo (two ounces each of espresso and Licor 43).
gAI slop cartoon making the rounds. Note the inconsistent hair on the character I assume is supposed to be Robin, along with the weirdness going on with his collar and cape in the second last panel. Don't share, point it out to anyone who does, #fuckAI
This is making the rounds. You know what else is not environmentally friendly? Using gAI slop memes, so don't do it.
Found a cat tree at one of those discount bargain stores that was actually affordable. Chloe was all over it before I even began putting it together. Ingrid took a little longer.
This seems like a completely legit user who's a really-real human.
Spent the afternoon at The Campus, an old school that's been converted into an art museum, then hit The Cooper's Daughter, a craft distillery that offers these and other delights.
I'm apparently Moira's new best friend.
This weekend so far has been all about making friends with small dogs.
Finishing up my one-man listening party featuring The Runaways.
Trimming away some new followers for, among other things, being boring-ass political re-posters, following tens of thousands of other accounts (they'll never notice I'm gone), posting gAI slop, and of course, "not all men"-ing.
"Digital taste maker?" That's a new one. FYI, Instagram pushed this account on me, and Mr. Taste Maker was just using gAI to share his masturbatory fantasies about Jenna Ortega with the world.
Heads up. Don't go to this event, as a patron or participant. The organizer is an established sex pest and grifter.

Select pages from the show I worked on but, sadly, was unable to see because of a cast injury :(
And then there was the time when he did push back against studio execs, which is also inspirational:
Beige, you should take advice from this guy, he seems to know the score when it comes to poor social media behavior.
