…oh, now i get it…

…i totally thought that was wheat and lentil penne sautéed with crumbled sausage…

…our local grocer stocks vegan gummies; sadly they’re not very good…

…i tried to live with public transit in marin county: just commuting to my job was three hours each way, with a very narrow window of opportunity for walking to a grocer at my transfer hub and no recourse on nights when i had to work late…

…hah!..well that kind of superfandom commands my respect even if the material doesn’t earn it: dorks dorking-out over dorky things are always cool in my opinion…

…so, like, it was a walmart-exclusive live television broadcast?..was there a live audience at the perfromance or was he just playing to an empty studio?..how’d that work, like, did they set up chairs in front of a special big-screen at each location or did you just stand around the electronics department for two hours?..

…garth brooks reminds me a lot of taylor swift; totally not my jam but you do you…

…heck, may parents’ first litton microwave took three grown men to move and we barely managed at that…

…when i was growing up, my well-meaning parents pulled me aside to express their concern over a jewish friend dating a black friend; aghast at their comment, i immediately confronted them over its apparent racism, and they replied that they had nothing against it personally, but were instead concerned about what other people might think…

…they’re f*cking balls-out fascists fourty years later, and i want no part of them in my life…

…to anyone tempted to compromise their own best interests on behalf of what other people might think: don’t give them that kind of power over you, or they’ll drag you down in it…

…mossad gonna mossad and FSB gonna FSB…

…i got honorable mention in the history fair in fourth grade; i think i still have the ribbon in a box…

…how about jupiter’s moon?..

…i’ll put my money on a domestic incident first: the administration has more to gain from crushing dissent…

…i’ve worked at a couple of places which offered a floating holiday in lieu of - i think it was thanksgiving friday?..i’ve also worked a few places which only do six: new year, memorial, independence, labor, thanksgiving day only, and christmas…

…most hourly places i’ve worked don’t do any paid holidays; if they’re closed you just don’t get paid…

…i’m down for cancelling f*cking christmas; federal holidays should be secular…

…give us the solstices, equinoxes, and earth day and i’m pretty good; throw in labor day and memorial day if you want to bump it up to the private-sector seven…

…pretty much this: they’re conformant authoritarians and christian nationalism just happens to be the cultural identity in which they were raised…

…i work with mostly first and second-generation immigrants from all over the world, and a common pattern i’ve noticed among established first-generation immigrants is strong anti-immigrant sentiment; a little bit that they emmigrated to get away from those people, a little bit f*ck-you-i-got-mine…

^{(i actually thought this was ammunition from an old disc gun)}

…all my turntables have included 45RPM adapters for the spindle; never needed anything separate for the records…

…i have a 5" adapter ring for 3" compact discs, though: that has seen legitimate use in all my slot-loading players, although drawer-loading players always included detents for smaller discs, and of course portable players snap directly onto the spindle…

…that was a significant theme in 2061: oddysey three…

…those are what i use, but whereas i can avoid touching anything with my hands until using a towel and any residual dampness air-dries between my fingers and skin, hopping across the bathroom to a towel one foot at a time is awkward and best and my feet are pretty much going on the ground immediately after mostly-drying them…
