My secret life as a cat.

I keep blowing my chances at getting Mekons tickets. The scalpy prices are high, too.

Going out on a limb here and guessing I'm not the only one who despises Hegseth.

A cryptic note from my stack of papers:

Piggly Wiggly vs Zork

It meant something to me at the time.

Maybe John Cale if you count The Velvet Underground to his total.

In alt music there's also Cate le Bon and The Mekon's John Langford.

Listen to Ryan Schwank. He’s an ex-trainer at ICE who previously served as Assistant Chief Counsel for ICE. Before that, he was a legal adviser at the Dilley Family Residential Center in Texas. He has defended some horrible stuff and here he is calling DHS out. You know it's bad when this happens.

NYC BLIZZARD: All NYC public schools will be closed Monday, bringing back β€˜old-school’ snow day As a major winter storm continues to batter New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that all public schools will be closed on Monday.

Schools are closed. No Zoom classes. I have often felt a little sadness for the kids who no longer have traditional snow days. This is a nice touch. We shouldn't be so relentlessly relentless. That's for Nandor only.

Same, sadly, I no longer have my vinyl. I'll have to search it out one day.

Just a Christmas tune for you from Ultraprophets of Thee Psykick Revolution. Really an underappreciated band, I think. And almost impossible to search for.

Tony Harrison from the Mighty Boosh, who is a squid-like pink head. He's saying, "Oh, come off it, Tusk, in its entirety, with the pauses as Lindsey Buckingham intended it to be heard."

Agreed on this. "Never Make Me Cry" is a standout for me and surpasses the original by far.

The Mekons are champs at this. Especially when they drank more.

To Live and Die in L.A. (1985) When his longtime partner on the force is killed, reckless U.S. Secret Service agent Richard Chance vows revenge, setting out to nab dangerous counterfeit artist Eric Masters.

My TV fritzed into permanent darkness halfway through "Live and Die in L.A."

If all the wanging didn’t kill it, the chunging sealed the deal.

For Black Cat owners, Friday the 13th is yet another celebration day for these fuzzy little voids. This hardly means they're bad luck, but rather they are honorary members of the Knights Templar.

Mine has departed but I rarely miss a chance to share her.

I feel like we need an preventative media accord.

When Trump dies and the inevitable official Trump AI is launched, endless social media posts, AI videos, etc., the media ignores everything it says and every bot-charged reaction to it.

Or else we'll be doomed to hear from him to the end of days.

That's about $136,000,000 in USD. I think we'll be losing a lot more than that.

Because they stop to let children off and it's going too slowly for them. I am convinced that honking is a power curve and 20% of the drivers will honk anytime they're paused. They need to be fined into oblivion.

It gets really bad at certain times. Usually when kids are going to or coming out of school, people love to honk at the school buses.
