Oh no, he's talking about hidden track marks, isn't he? "Swamps of Dagobah" is about to get the gritty sequel we didn't need.

Joannes has to put out the Halloween stuff in June because it's gone by September to make way for Christmas. The war on Christmas is not going how the right thinks it is.

At least when we adopted our little lady, the shelter staff warned us that she was a helper. My partner particularly appreciates the addition of her views to his video calls. Naturally, the view is of her backside.

Interesting, when I was studying and teaching, we didn't have any injuries. But that was ATS, without a lot of the extreme back bends, etc. of cabaret style. The older dancers claimed to have avoided many of the pains of growing older because of their practice!

I tried to take up kung fu. Sifu had me practice the same move so many times that I had to do PT to recover. 🤷♀️ Now belly dance is an ergonomic activity.

And having seen "Prehistoric Planet," eating like Quetzacoatlus includes going to enormous lengths to pick up a small dinosaur, fly out to a tiny island and shake it around until a female of the species pays attention.

Spider Robinson posited a switch turned on by closing the eyes for a nap that activates either the phone or doorbell. I am forced to agree.

That show did a heartrendingly good job of portraying the atrocities committed against Chinese immigrants in Gold Rush California. Having read Twain's take, I kept expecting him to pop up, pen in hand.

I appreciate the label, but your name on the cover ought to be sufficient warning. Frack, I'm 50 and it's unclear if I'm mature enough to handle your work. 🤣 Didn't stop me from gifting "Coraline" and "Graveyard Book" to my niblings tho.

This, hard. Can you imagine all the crew that would be necessary to not only load the chem-trail mass onto the plane while concealing that they had done so (in plain view of a whole concourse full of passengers), but also the engineers needed to calculate fuel/trajectory with its dispersement?

I literally dreamed that I checked my pitas and they were moldy. When I got up, I checked them and they were, in fact, moldy. Tossed them in the compost and then had a hard conversation with my subconscious about priorities.

Fracking sleep apnea... Those oxygen sensor rings are great for figuring out if you're having a problem with it. The one I got will buzz if your blood O2 saturation drops low enough. Partner got a mouthguard that keeps him breathing. Amazing how our bodies try to kill us while we sleep.

Our springs are too cold for honeybees when the almonds bloom, so the beekeepers artificially warm them to wake them for the almond pollination event, making them more susceptible to infection in what is essentially a huge bee orgy.

It is astonishing to find him here, isn't it? I had thought all his non-writing time would be committed to attending the various mythological figures he must have secured about his abode. He rather exposed his technique in "Calliope." ;)

It's possible to ignore a lot of annoyance for the sake of a good narrative. I got through a lot of E.R. Burroughs before the incessant racism poisoned it for me.
