Lover of stories in all forms of media, and their tropes. Well, not literally, or at least not sexually. Also self-deprecating and absurd, in case you couldn’t tell. He/Him
Got home from the coast and completely zonked out. If those of you going to the Timbers match tonight could cheer a little louder on my behalf that would be kind.
Always looked forward to the times he showed up as Dr. Pankow on Parker Lewis Can’t Lose. Sonofabitch…

For the sake of @nomadpdx.bsky.social I must report that while walking around Cannon Beach in search of lunch, I stopped in the local bookstore. The owner and a customer were lovingly reminiscing about the time Ursula Le Guin came in to buy something…
I was just reminded of the time I was front row at a Terry Pratchett signing/event at Powell’s. I was laughing so hard at his storytelling he actually paused the reading and asked me if I needed medical assistance. Anyway…

I don’t have to work tomorrow, which means I got Shanghai’d into taking my dad to the coast for a long weekend. At least the weather is nice.
Listening to an NPR story about this Ed Sheeran nonsense: “We should note that Israel insists that what’s happening in Gaza isn’t genocide.” … And OJ always insisted the real killers were still out there, what’s your fucking point?
BREAKING: Eddie and the Cruisers will no longer be opening for Ed Sheeran.

Not only have I been getting a bunch of scam calls lately, but they’re also sending follow-up texts “regarding the voicemail you received on bla bla bla…” Can you not just fuck off, dipshits?
Bart: “I can't believe it, but it looks as though television has betrayed me.” From the very first episode. It’s all downhill from there…
Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social · 6d agoQuestion of the day! What is the funniest single line in Simpsons history?
*finishes tonight’s episode of Lanterns* … What the hell, man?
I just walked across the street, and in less than 15 minutes I had my flu and Covid shots. Ain’t modern life grand? (In a lot of ways it’s not, for obvious reasons, but let’s celebrate the good parts, yes?)

The fact we have an executive class that doesn't know what to do with the Looney Tunes or The Muppets really sums up what a joyless, barren world they inhabit.

Was walking home from work and saw this beauty growing up through the concrete. Not only that, turned out I snapped this photo right at 1:07pm. I’m calling that a good omen…
21 years ago today I got a call at work saying my dad had just had a massive stroke. They didn’t say he was dying, but they didn’t really need to. He’s still here today for one reason: spite. He was too pissed off to die…
If this St. Louis player gets a hat trick I won’t know whether to laugh or cry…
Today, September 8, 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of Star Trek’s premiere on American network television. From the beginning, there was something special about this show. >> [more]
Another quick question...we might be visiting Bend, Oregon in a short while, and the resort we used to stay in has gone all timeshare (yuck). Does anyone know a nice place to stay in Bend? Recommendations are welcome.

I just had to walk around the Lloyd Center to get to the movie theater, instead of going through it. I can’t describe how wrong it felt. In related news, I’m finally about to see Coyote vs. Acme.
One of the more underrated Brennan Lee Mulligan monologues, in my opinion.

I’m not linking to the image, but… Orange. Not Green. You’re an Orange Lantern. The color of greed. To match your skin tone, you fetid mass of bovine excretions.
Last four characters you saved on your phone are your D&D party. So I got Grant O’Brien, Tim Curry as Frank N. Furter, Opus the penguin, possibly also as Frank N. Furter, and Prince. There’s going to be a lot of sex while a confused penguin watches in this campaign…
Pics from the Grand Opening party at @floatingworld.bsky.social last night. The new store looks really good, and it was crowded most of the time I was there. Go check it out in Pioneer Place (by Din Tai Fung)
