I'm in Panera, trying to listen to the latest episode of Sarah Marshall's Satanic Panic podcast, but I have to turn my headphone volume way up...to drown out the woman at the next table ranting about demons into her phone.

I see Senate Dems decided to sink themselves to honor the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

I had a lovely weekend at a local Steampunk convention, drinking all the tea, but now we're back to the regularly scheduled political anxiety.

I was trying to tell my roommate about that girl who didn't recognize Wallace Shawn, and it turns out she 1) also doesn't know who he is, and 2) briefly got him mixed up with Morgan Wallen.

Very proud of NJ, especially considering the transphobic vitriol Republican PACs were texting everyone.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Still thinking about the Springsteen movie. It really captures the essential truth of his ouvre: you can never recapture what home (New Jersey) once meant, but your home will also never leave you, no matter where (Nebraska, California, Texas) you literally or metaphorically go.

I quite liked the movie! Jeremy Allen White's Resting Nervous Breakdown Face really helped sell it.
Off to see the Springsteen movie.

I tried to donate to a local food bank, but I hit an error message and had to try again. The second went through...and apparently, so did the first.
I have the money and it's not like I'm going to take it AWAY from a food bank, so I guess they're getting double what I intended!

Today I took a short hike into the arboretum and sat on a stump to read for a half hour and it was extremely restorative.

Yesterday I finally watched, and really enjoyed, I Saw the TV Glow, but I am truly befuddled by the presence of Fred Durst. (I suppose he IS a good representation of 90s/00s toxic masculinity, but.)

I genuinely don't know what to make of the cover of this week's Princeton Alumni Weekly being a Jim Lee drawing of MacKenzie Scott as Supergirl with the S as a dollar sign. (It's for a piece about her philanthropy, but, uh.)

It's more that people try for something different because they don't believe it could be pronounced that way, but: Metuchen.
What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

As a comics fan/editor the discourse around variant covers for music albums feels like exhausting deja vu.
