It’s good to revisit the classics every now and then.

26 watches of various styles. 20 pocket watches, six wristwatches. Arranged on a cluttered black desk.

What does one do if one can’t get to sleep at 1:30 am on Daylight Saving Time day?

Frumpy. 😍

I was working in Japan for most of the 2000s, and every retail chain had its own jingle, played on repeat in each store. I never learned the lyrics to any of them, but the tunes are burned into my brain.

YAMADA DE-N-KI!
DAIEI!
BESUTO DENKI!

First time in a long while that I knew the Grandiloquent Word of the Day previously.

and now I'm trying to see the reflection...

(I have a L0-LA59 on a shelf, looking forlorn because I don't talk to her anymore)

If I recall correctly, the backstory of this picture was that Clair Hummel was getting annoyed at all of the porn-ish fanfic with Rosalind Lutece in getting the undergarments wrong, so she produced this just to show those authors how it's done...but do correct me if I'm wrong!

A serving of baked spaghetti. Cooked spaghetti noodles baked in a pan with copious amounts of ricotta and other cheeses, cut into cube servings and covered with marinara sauce.

A little bit of food nostalgia tonight: Tucci Benucch baked spaghetti, as served by the Twin Cities Grill (Lettuce Entertainer You closed the Mall of America Tucci Benucch years ago).

It was also a Lactaid stress test. So cheesy…

Pace Picante Sauce - "New Jersey? Get a Rope!" Commercial (1992) YouTube video by The U.S. War Machine

Blast from the past 😁 youtu.be/nRnsZ-4n69E?...

But then where would the good picante sauce come from?

Like Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"You can feel it all OVER!"

Comedian Joked About A Mom Shot By ICE — Six Sold-Out Shows Got Canceled And We're Not Done YouTube video by Tom Powell Jr

Who is worse, this "comedian," or the audience that's laughing with him? Eh, screw 'em all...

Tom makes a good point -- Guys like this can joke about Renee Good and Alex Pretti all they want, but we can't even make mildly critical comments about Charlie Kirk?

Boom. That was a mike drop moment.

If I recall correctly, one of the unofficial slogans of the CONvergence concom was “it’s Cargill’s fault”

Peter Gabriel - Come Talk To Me YouTube video by Isaac K

The night is cold and dark, and I am tired...but what will tomorrow bring?

(a lunar eclipse, if I wake up in time)

Hillary Clinton finding out Lauren Boebert is posting photos of her testimony: "If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. this is just typical behavior... We all are abiding by the same rules."

Boebert: "I... I will take that down."

The Mandalorian Theme | The U.S. Army Band YouTube video by The United States Army Band "Pershing's Own"

a couple of careers ago I was an elementary school music teacher, and every year a fourth grader would ask me why they had to learn recorder, and I wish I had this to show them back then

Started doing my parents’ taxes tonight. Checked the yes box on the line asking if the filer (Dad) passed away before filing this return. Cried.

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

1 oz. Silver Eagle proof dollar coin, dated 1776-2026, from the West Point mint, obverse. It's encapsulated in a plastic capsule and in the box from the US Mint.

Reverse of 1 oz. Silver Eagle proof coin, in a plastic capsule, atop the certificate of authenticity from the US Mint

Outer sleeve of the box. The top reads: - 1776 * 2026 - 2026 American Eagle ONE OUNCE SILVER PROOF COIN

New shiny came in the mail today...

Bought directly from the US Mint, probably paid too much. But the prices on eBay are through the roof!

(I wonder if they'll come down in price once the Mint starts making more, they've got room under the minting limit still)

Is Trump himself actually aware that we're at war? I can picture him forgetting that minutes after being forced to record that last speech...

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I got out of the habit of regular TV watching because someone else always had prior claim to the TV. Lost the urge completely.
