I know things about things.
I love movies, video games and soup.
Harlan Ellison was pretty sure I stole his wallet.
This holiday season, or any time really, it’s important to remember that the worst possible thing that can happen to everyone in a Dunkin’ Donuts is for you to individually choose every donut in a dozen. Just let them give you an assortment, it will be fine, I promise.

The #1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

It’s been a while since I worked construction, but here’s some concrete sidewalk I watched them pour on a rainy day this summer, and I was like, you fucking dummies.

Concrete needs a very precise amount of moisture in the mix for it to set properly. Or spalling happens next time it gets cold.

At 5 years old this, this is the first movie I remember seeing in theaters. My dad and older sister took me to see it at the little movie theater in red bank NJ. Another world. Another time. I watched in horror as a Muppet got tortured to death, and I think it permanently made me a better person.

It’s Christmas, and maybe you like buying friends gifts so here’s my list. My winter boots and regular walking shoes are both toast, so I need replacements, wool socks will really help my dumb feet, and I can’t find my winter gloves. Shit’s rough. Anyway, thanks friends. I hope you’re doing okay.
Check out my list on Amazon

Hey, America, what the fuck. Why are there chicken fingers but no pork fingers?? Like I was just looking at a Chinese menu and they have chicken fingers for some reason, but they don’t have pork fingers, and now I’m MAD. Give me a breaded and fried pork cutlet already, fuck.

Heard a country version of Jingle Bell Rock at Dunks and something about the twang made “giddy up jinglehorse, pick up your feet” sound so condescending, like my dude isn’t the heir of generations of jinglehorsing, a proud tradition that persists more than a hundred years after the advent of cars.

Out with my last client today, the little man at the retirement place, and an off leash dog comes running up. They shout at each other exactly once, and I tell them “EASY” so they stop and look up at me. What do you know, it’s a former client. So I scoop her up in one hand until we find her owner.

A friend on Facebook has just reminded me of the time I did the maths and worked out that Santa's life is a living hell.

Every December, I go into NYC to do holiday stuff, and every year the Saturday I’m free to do it is Santacon, and today there’s also a rangers game, so the train is 100% full with like 10 more stops to go, it’s bonkers. Still, I’m excited to hit Union square and Bryant park and holiday it up.

It’s my 30th deadmomiversary today, and I’m starting off with zero sleep for the last 24 hours or so because my brain wouldn’t shut down last night. So that’s cool. 16 dogs to walk this afternoon.

I can hear this horse saying “ed..ward?”
cool horse i found while i was going through my notes

I slept with my smashed toes up on a pillow last night and they don’t hurt this morning, but they are still black, so I guess things are as okay as can be expected.

I’ve got those 35 years as a diabetic feet, so they’re already pretty iffy, and I just kicked what looked like a nerf ball for a dog to chase, but was actually hard plastic and weighed about 10-12 pounds, and it felt (through the haze) like I had shattered every bone below my knee

This is great, the term for this seat leaves him in a perfect position to primary Schumer when that spot is up for grabs in 2029
I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

I keep seeing people share that post about how to quit Spotify and the link is to a substack. And it makes me go a little more insane every time.

I still haven’t opened the email from my insurance company about what my premiums will be next month. My sister’s family plan through Medicaid went from $500/mo to $2500/mo, so she probably has to drop out or get a vastly worse plan that will also cost too much.

@thespaceshipper.com i see you tried the demo, have you gotten a chance to go back and dig into Mars First Logistics? It came up in my recommended games this weekend, and I’ve already dumped like 20 hours into it. I’ve been playing with a friend and it’s fascinating to see different approaches.

Banged out season 2 of netflix's A Man on the Inside this weekend, and gosh it's good. Really funny, tons of heart, and like any truly great detective story, the puzzle pieces are all there for you to assemble if you can. If the first season slipped by, now you've got two whole mysteries to enjoy!

Every year I see the same “amazon raises prices before black friday so they don’t actually give you a discount” thing, and like. My dudes. You can look at a thing’s price history over the last 90 days. So like, you could just be informed if you wanted.

Happy black friday, I just ordered the Lego Enterprise D, so I've got that going for me.

What are we, like two years from the latest iPhone and Samsung having undisclosed AI post processing added directly into their cameras to fuck up pictures of people’s hands so that fake AI pictures start to look more real
