When boomers say, "No matter how you voted, we're all Americans and we should all try to get along!" what they mean is "But you always *used* to put up with my racist bigoted bullshit at Thanksgiving in the name of preserving harmony!"

I find myself more upset than I would have thought by Stan Lee's passing. I've never been anything more than a casual comicbook/superhero nerd but I did work for the ill-fated Stanlee.net back in the day, and he always struck me as a genuinely good guy.

(That avuncular huckster persona he put on in every interview? Pretty much the same IRL.) Thanks for all the stories & cool resume cred, Stan. RIP and Excelsior!

As an Old who lived through the misery of the cassette tape era, I get grouchy whenever I hear about Kids These Days recording/releasing music on cassettes because it's retro-cool; "Why would you do that! The only shittier possible audio format is 8 track!"

Then I realize that photographers of the mid-late 19th century would be just as annoyed by my long-running infatuation with wet plate collodion photography.

Could God create a CVS receipt so long that even *he* couldn’t fit it in the garbage on his way out of the store?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this rain. I don't think we've gone more than about 18 hours without rain in the last month.

I think this is the year I finally buy a light therapy device, because it's not even 4:30PM and already getting dark because it's cloudy, and fuck this.

Happy seasonal depression night to all my fellow US tooters

It's the Day of the Dead, and I'd like to watch Coco again. It was an amazing, beautiful film. The only thing that gives me pause is that watching it at home is basically a commitment to being reduced to a sobbing, heartsick mess.

(I have had the same long-running conundrum with Big Fish, which I only watched once more than a decade ago.)

A hot toddy but made with lapsang souchong and islay whisky. (To be consumed while smoking latakia tobacco)

Having a little bit of caffeine at 7:00pm *seemed* like a great idea at the time

Pretty sure I saw Gloria Steinem at Whole Foods last night and then on the way home helped a couple of other people protect a young owl under a full moon (he was stunned in the middle of the road, bumped into a car or something, but then he shook it off and flew silently into the woods) so that was pretty cool
