Just imagine. A day of cheaper gas. Just one day. And every American trying to go to the pump at the same time.

Hell of a way to stir up some riots to blame things on.

That’s the thing, a good artist working in the community will always know someone else that’s a little cheaper and looking for work.

Rhode Island friends: RIPTA’s section of @govdanmckee.bsky.social’s FY2027 budget will be up for a hearing tomorrow at 4:30 pm (State House Room 35)

While Gov. McKee’s budget allocation of $13.8m prevents cuts from happening this year, it’s not enough to reverse the devastating cuts from last fall.

I get it. Especially nowadays it’s hard to allow myself to relax and be entertained.

I’m inserting one non fiction book after reading two “fun” ones. They’re still on topics I find interesting. There’s just less smut, lasers, and magic.

(Not recommending you switch it up, your reading list sounds cool, just sharing).

I read the b-side of popular fiction (old, like 50/60s) or very silly (magic/paranormal investigation ). So I constantly sound like a very excited middle schooler when I talk about what I’m reading.

First time I’ve finished a book in three days since…2012? 2011?

Combo of toxic friend and dying dad take awhile to shed all the psychic sludge that prevents one from reading for fun and long stretches.

In my defense, I was mostly right on what I envisioned. But still. Sigh.

Good book. Want to see the Little Rock Pokémon on the big screen.

Not a spoiler: I read the whole goddamn book Hail Mary trying envision the centrifugal spaceship the author describes.

There’s diagrams of how it works at the front of the book.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Again. I’m asking bars to sell me chexmix. You even it in a nice bowl and sell it to me for $7. This is a free idea.

The Music Man "Ya Got Trouble"
The Music Man "Ya Got Trouble" YouTube video by BravoDivine

The problems with America can be explained through the 1962 musical The Music Man. It isn’t a problem. Just rare piece of media that acknowledges all our problems.

It’s the grifting, racism, Puritanism, jingoism, and “won’t somebody think of the children”-ism.

My last workplace was very into Clsude and I’ve never been happier to be out of that place.

Honestly, nowadays we see the Firefly cast more than we do actual real life fireflies and that in and of itself feels like a crime against nature.

There’s a guy FaceTiming someone in this bar. It sounds like a serious conversation. It’s so weird.
