You have my deepest sympathy, Krista. I lost my dad three years ago and it's still hard. It gets... different. But it never gets easier.

Now streaming: "Insufferably English Action Comedy" by Guy Ritchie. No, not that one, the other one. No, not that one either. Mercy, there are a lot of these aren't there?

The United States, in its infinite wisdom, is eliminating the threat of Iran's short-range ballistic missiles by getting Iran to fire them all at once at strategic targets presented (we're using this in the simian sense) by the US and its […]

My cat: We have a problem.
Me: Oh lord...
My cat: You have a refrigerator.
Me: I do.
My cat: And I'm not inside it.
Me: You wouldn't like being inside it.
My cat: You don't know that.
Me: I'm pretty sure I do.
My cat: Nonetheless, I must be inside.
Me: This is becoming a problem.
My cat: We […]

Oh that's nasty. 😂

Kind of surprised this doesn't seem to exist in anyone's Etsy shop. Is it possible I've had an original idea for once? In any case, I need someone (*cough* @richardmiller.bsky.social *cough*) to bring this to life and print a whole bunch of difficult-to-remove-from-stainless-steel stickers.

My kids call them "Cyberyucks," so this is just a natural progression.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone’When Karen Newton left...

Seriously. Do not travel through or vacation in the States. It's not safe here. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/21/karen-newton-valid-visa-detained-ice

In the States, this headline would read: "Ali Akbar, who's sold newspapers on the streets of Minneapolis for 50 years, detained by ICE for over 6 months in conditions described as 'inhumane.'" https://www.npr.org/2026/02/20/g-s1-110565/france-paris-newspaper-seller-knighthood-chevalier-ali-akbar

"What radicalized y--" Wall Street Journal, if you can believe it.

Had the weirdest dream last night. Purina was trying desperately to get Brittney Spears to say "It's Friskies, b*tch" in a Superbowl commercial.

Happy Wednesday! To celebrate Odin's Day, I'll be dangling from the branches of Yggdrasil for nine days and nine nights to gain enlightenment! If you need immediate assistance, please reach out to our general mailbox, and a member of my team will be happy to help. Thanks!

We've had our seasons. Heck, when the missus and I were in our 20s and making a *combined* income of about $15/hr, a can of Nalley and a box of store brand mac & cheese was a go-to dinner.

Tell me you've never struggled without actually telling me. Someone at The Columbian has apparently discovered chili mac, and I just can't...

1. Alcohol.
2. Interesting story. From what I understand, it was sort of an unofficial sideshow sport for like... 90 years. They didn't make it something you could actually medal in until the 90s.

Now I gotta look that up to see how off I am. 😂

"You excited for the 'Hawks?"
Oh? Is there a game on?

I think I broke the bank teller.

Sometimes that happens to me and I tell them "no, YOU figure it out," even if I recognize the house.

They gotta learn.
