My therapist asked me for the answer to today’s Wordle. I told her after making sure she wanted to know but didn’t tell her I start with QUOTE because I hate myself.

You can tell the libertarians who got there via genuinely held principle because they’re not libertarians anymore.
Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

There were worse things that happened today, but dropping 2/3 of my fries into a dish soaking in the sink really stung.

I’ve heard it suggested that the Santa presents should be the boring and small ones (clothes and stocking stuff, for example), so that the nicer and fun things are associated to people.
We had the boys pick out toys that could go to Toys For Tots, explaining that some kids weren’t as lucky as they were at Christmas, etc. Then the eight year-old hit me with the ol’ “well, isn’t Santa going to bring them toys?” and, man, Santa is definitely hard to reconcile with a sense of charity.

I somehow always assume Crumb died long ago, predeceasing Pekar.
Crumb somehow manages to surpass S. Clay Wilson, Warren Ellis, and Frank Miller for “genuinely loathsome people whose comics work I’ll grudgingly defend the merits of.”
Bob Crumb coming out of retirement just to say "RFK Jr. is right about vaccines and my ex-wife should've taken more advice from me" is such a fitting end to Boomer Americana and everything the "alt-comix" movement claimed to stand for

Small blessings — both of my scheduled work meetings for today were moved (to tomorrow and next week) so I’m not scrambling so much coming back from my time off.

This is highly recommended, especially if you can get El to invite you to her table for the nicest Thanksgiving you’ve had in years.
This is just legitimately hard, especially if you have other dishes that want the oven, as most people do. I handle it by doing the turkey in the smoker and timing all my other dishes to it. Try this approach.

Huh. Fully half of the roller coasters at Dorney Park do not have your feet on the floor, by being inverted or floorless. (And if you discount the kiddie coaster, it’s more with dangling feet than not.)

Today is the last day of an 11-day stretch of being off work. Let’s see if I remember how to do anything tomorrow.

Saddened by the passing of @burgerbecky.bsky.social. She helped shape gaming as we know it today. If this world rewarded true artists and pioneers she would have died a millionaire. But at least she gave us a wealth of memories and history to hold on to www.youtube.com/live/7RrBGXa...

Elon has wider sins, but taking over Twitter and driving folks to the four corners when there wasn’t a consensus alternative is still painful.

My parter was recently diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer. We are hopeful that modern treatments can give her many more years with us though.
It will be a long road and if you’re able, we could use your help.
