I never leave Rhode Island.
John Travolta in a Capital One commercial performing Greased Lightning as Santa Claus makes me realize that for some people there will never be enough money.

Jeff Bridges. At least we still have him. I hope he's as perfect as I think he is.

I contribute nothing to the greater good of society.

F this. Also, that's the house I grew up in.

New Year's Day hockey with @ihavethatonvinyl.com and @leecee57.bsky.social . We get to see the Utah Mammoth, which is arguably the worst team name in the NHL.

This is my favorite Taylor Swift song. The nerdfest video makes me love it more.

We're having our company Christmas party tonight from 4-7. I have 19 stops in Narragansett and will probably finish up around 8pm.

My favorite thing about dogs is how they can wake up from a four hour nap and then stand up and vomit everywhere.

Seven by Taylor Swift might be one of the greatest songs ever written. There's only a handful of songs that actually *move* me. That's one of them.

I've watched this 300 times this weekend. Just go to 11:11 and watch the magic happen. Clearly Nile Rodgers has no idea it's coming and his natural reaction is enjoyable. Also, Russell Graham is a monster. I would love to open my mouth and have that come out.

North didn't work so now he's trying south, but instead of by land he's going by water. Grab a bunch of islands that have some value and then fight a war from both the north and south to easily take over the entire landmass including control over one of the two most important canals on the planet.

I posted this a couple of weeks ago and nobody reacted to it so I'm posting it again because I need to know why this is like this.
Don't watch this.

I have five sick days, five personal days, five weeks of vacation that I can break up any way I want, nine paid holidays and three other unpaid days off at my disposal. I pay nothing for top-notch healthcare and dental. Overtime after eight hours. Fuck yeah union.
i was hospitalized three times in six months. my union has a sick bank for long term illnesses and i was able to use that so i could still get paid because i was out of sick time. i truly appreciate all my union does, even in retirement
Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

Reading this makes me sad because I love Michele and I know that this was a difficult decision for her to make, but I also think that our community (YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE) can make this work because we all enjoy the content and the twenty bucks was never really the point. Let's keep this going.

Have you ever just started eating stuff that you can't identify the day after a holiday because you're hungry and you started pounding the minute you got home from work 3 1/2 hours ago? Me neither.
