About ten years ago, I made an exception for Scott Adams.

I take a small amount of comfort from the fact that while I know who this is about, I don't know (and don't want to know) any of the specifics.
Happy New Year and hope you all celebrated last night like an evangelical Christian whose husband was just assassinated

My New Year's Day resolution: I'm not going to drag you down with my crushing depression and anxiety over (waves arms) all of this.
But tomorrow is another day.

It's been a couple of weeks. Let's see if I'm ready to deal with the political hot takes that sneak into my feed no matter how hard I try to keep them out.
I'm just tired, boss.

One of my low-key hobbies is collecting cheap One Sheets and Lobby Cards for movies I've seen on MST3K. (emphasis on the cheap) I picked some beauties up at an antique show this weekend.
First: The Killer Shrews! I guess the dogs covered in carpets didn't photograph well.

I was 24 in 1989. IIRC, I had gone retro and was listening to "Who's Next" and the like for a couple of years.
People need to stop retconning literally the worst era in American popular music history into something it wasn't, just because there were also some amazing records that like 250 people happened to be hunting down and listening to

It's been several years since the Chiefs offense was this much fun to watch. Amazing what a healthy recieving corps and finding a couple of guys who can actually play LT can do.
