Grateful for friends and family who've kept me sane through an awful year of heartache and loss. I'm just gonna keep going.

Some swearing and cartoon violence. Not nearly as gnarly as, say, Rick & Morty, but still more than I'd show anyone younger than 12 or so. The vibes are way less cynical too.

Ok despite the curse of looking 75% like a lot of other Netflix animated series, Haunted Hotel is QUITE good. Will Forte hamming it up, every character finds a good groove pretty quickly, and the setup has a lot of room for varied stories.

Was debating going to my local Oct 18 protest, but hell now I'm googling inflatable Halloween costumes to go as.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Gah, I feel you. And true. Gonna try to make friends and "me time" happen. Thankfully I'm also buried in three very obnoxiously cute cats currently and that helps.

Fear not, Portlandians. ICE has valiantly rounded up the suspected ringleader of your local antifa cell.

I don't talk about it a lot because it's embarrassing and an emotional bag of snakes, but wow I guess this Saturday is my first birthday in a long while that I'm single, huh. 🫠 Hrmmm.

This little dipshit slipped out of a third floor apartment door RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER ME while I carried laundry downstairs. I come back and don't notice for 15 whole minutes. Building handyman finds him saying hello to anyone passing by. Jerk!

I'm building a "recommended reading" list for the students running my old college website (covering pop culture, music, games, etc), so if you have any favorite "how to do journalism/criticism good" articles, I'm all ears. Could be introspective, could be utilitarian, all takes welcome.
