Remember back in 2025 when tariffs on Canadian goods delayed my print orders because my American-based printer sourced paper from Canada? Remember how I didn't have "Chanticleer Raises the Sun" printed on time for my earliest summer conventions? Good times, can't wait to go through that again.

About a year ago, my 9 yo niece declared Tim Curry to be her favorite actor. Every time we'd hear his voice in an old cartoon, I'd say, "Wow, that guy sounds familiar." She'd yell ,"Is that him?!" and laugh about it. She gets out of school in a few hours and I am certain that she is going to cry.

Lately, my job is starting to remind me of the game Bowser's Fury. All the little tasks I do throughout the day are like collecting the cat shines. The giant kaiju Bowser that periodically rises out of the lake, demands all your attention and derails all other tasks? That's WiFi failure.

There's an unusual number of cat pics on my feed today. Better post some cats so I don't miss a secret cat quota. Remember the time Penelope and Ajax both crammed into a sideways box with fake grass as if they were imitating a grade schooler's shoebox diorama?

Barely touching an open aluminum can and not noticing that it cut you is the real-world version of losing a fight to an anime swordsman who leaves their opponent with no visible marks, only to have the opponent fall apart a few seconds after the attack is over.

"You can look forward to autumn things soon." Oh, yeah. Good snacks, fall clothes, holiday stuff. "You just have to stop having summer first." No, wait! I feel like that dog who wants two tennis balls, but can only hold one at a time.

Construction zones be like, "Wait, the right lane is closed. Oh, never mind, that was for last week's construction, you can drive there now. Just kidding, the right lane really is closed!"

I'm picking a theme for a webpage at work. Who put warm gray letters on a brown background?! This text is illegible! Whoever you are, go back to graphic design school. And graphic design school should make you sit in a corner for a while and think about what you did.

Something I remember about high school: if a bully comes at you 20 times and you cooly deflect them 19 times, but your 20th response is embarrassing, they will treat the one failed interaction as the only one. Keep this in mind if you ever see any of these videos. The harasser also gets final edit.

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

You know something that causes me unnecessary anxiety? Collectible action figures with alternate heads or faces. I would prefer if every display shelf was not accompanied by a drawer full of unused parts. Please just pick a single facial expression for me, I promise I'll like the one you chose.

My mom bought Penelope some cat food broth as a treat. Now she asks for it at random intervals, completely ignoring her other food. Penelope: “Is it soup time? Soup? Soup now? Soup? Soup?” Me: “Allow me to answer you with a popular 90’s catch phrase.”
