I meet a lot of tourists, and I haven't done it recently, but I *have* been known to greet Israeli visitors by asking if they're enjoying their visit to The Jewish Homeland. They laugh.

I do not.

not "hating Jews" antisemitic

"anti-nazi" antisemitic

Straight to the Eugene Debbs quote, gotDAMN

ARE THEY PLAYING THE KNIFE AS HE COMES OUT FOR HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

THE PROPHESY HAS BEEN FULFILLED

DAYENU

I miss OMNI

The only way this day can get better now will be when Mamdani trounces Cuomo.

The particular brand of Sick Bastardry in which I deal:

As I used a Largely Ineffective spray to kill An Especially Hardy Roach, when it staggered & dropped I said in A Vaguely Eastern European Accent:

"I came... to offer you... peace--*"

This book is such a classic: it's what I mentally-reference 1st for Greco-Roman mythos. I have owned multiple copies, though unsure if I do now.

I discharged my civic duty on Friday, but since we're down to the wire, I urge you all to #vote #vote2025, and if you're in NYC, to help make @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social the next mayor. At this point I doubt I could sway anyone set on Cuomo, b/c they're ignoring who he is & who Mamdani wants to be.

I was taking the air conditioner out of my bedroom window (YES I KNOW IT'S NOVEMBER 2 SHUT UP), in which it was fairly loose, and only then saw the carcass of a pigeon on the fire escape, there since who knows when or of what causes. Comforting to think I could've been huffing bird flu for months.

There's a common fallacy dipshits do, where you tell them someone did something illegal to you, and they go "but that's illegal. You should..."

As if you *have not already been harmed*, as if it's an abstract, bloodlessly theoretical case study in legal recourse.

Last nite I *also* hooked my housemate's son into #MST3K: TIME CHASERS. While he was amused by the show itself, he asked some excellent questions re: time travel paradoxes and Special Relativity, both in which I'm versed enough to explain to an 11 yo.

My housemate says he's always stoked to see me.

It's always "release the files" and never "justice for the victims"

what's it like inside your head?

(disclaimer: I have never seen READY PLAYER ONE)

I work with people who are "politicians," i.e., they clearly aspire to more senior roles, but in the meantime they are breaking their necks to gladhand everyone with absolutely no genuine interest nor anything idiosyncratic beneath their studied but uncanny excuses for personalities. Homunculi.

Last nite I cleaned up my crafting corner, and for my troubles (& perhaps my questionable heteronormativity in having such a beast) I began to have an allergic reaction on my face. Luckily I recognized it as it began to swell, so I dissolved an antihistamine on the spot: today I'm only mildly puffy.

Is that a Rick Griffin cover or had he passed already?

This wasn't it, but it WAS the 1st I saw in theaters unaccompanied. If you don't believe it's scary, I remind you BILL MAHER is in it. I tried to dress as "Slim," the zombie gunslinger, that Halloween, but the scar appliances & brown makeup made for unfortunate racial associations I didn't intend.

Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality. But... there is, unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit... a Darkside.

Happy Halloween.

30 years ago tonight, my favorite band ever played their final show together. At the time I was a 19 year old weenie & couldn't imagine jetting from Chicago to L.A. just for a concert: I've regretted it for 3 decades. At least there's this movie of the show. #OingoBoingo #Boingo youtu.be/HnEkodpneqI
