“You’ll be visited by three spirits”
Stay tuned for my next single, "That's A No From Me, You Dental School Dropout."
This is incredibly random, but for some reason the song "Help Me, Rhonda" got stuck in my head, which made me wonder: has there ever been a response song, from Rhonda's POV? Something along the lines of "Screw you, I'm not going to be your rebound" or "oh so NOW you notice me"?

No, you're all wrong. The best Star Wars is the version one of my preschoolers invented, in which Han and Leia take Baby Kylo Ren to Target, and Baby Kylo Ren behaves so well at Target that he gets a little treat.

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I mean, if folks don't like whistles, I'll be glad to carry my trombone around instead.
Oh they don’t like the whistles? Hey everyone, they don’t like the whistles. If you use them it makes the armed goons sad.
Kristi Noem is mad that protesters are blowing whistles at ICE agents.

I was telling my preschool students that one of my first words as a baby was "GUH" for "Grover." None of them knew who Grover was, but one of them wondered if it was Grover from A Christmas Story.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Great account of tonight's rally. Friends outside Chicago, we need you to know what's happening here, and we need you to know that we are fighting hard.
Tyler and I are out here at the rally where the crowd has about doubled since this first post. Easily 400+ people.
Group is chanting “no hate, no fear, everyone is welcome here.”

The first Christmas song @nealshankman.bsky.social and I heard in 2025? "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch." A perfect start to a holiday season in which our government seems hell-bent on taking away every last can of Who hash.
