On This Day

Should you dig back through my archives, please keep in mind that the further in the past a post was published, the more likely it is that the information has become outdated or my beliefs have changed. I sincerely believe that learning, growing, examining, and often changing beliefs is an integral part of being a responsible human being. My personal journey socially and politically has been ever leftwards, and there are many posts in the archives that I would not write the same way today, if at all. Thanks for understanding!

    • Mad Max 🎥: ⭐️⭐️: In today's franchises, it would be the origin story that no-one really asked for but the studio felt compelled to make. ➡

    • 🎥 Asteroid City I don’t always entirely _get_ Wes Anderson’s films, but I invariably enjoy watching them. ➡
    • Year 50 Day 192 Since we had the day off today, we decided to make it a movie day. ➡

    • The elderly woman was always at the same spot at the corner, sitting on a bench and watching people go by, and she always had a smile for him. She was so familiar that it was decades before he started to wonder that she hadn’t died—or even aged as far as he could tell. ➡
    • I Guess I Just Expected a Little More from This Country: “How could a people that had to be explicitly told not to eat Tide Pods be so short-sighted? Or are some things simply beyond explanation?” ➡
    • Toolkit for Supporting GA US Senate Races – Jan 2021 (FEEL FREE TO SHARE!): “This doc is a volunteer-generated effort by Ana Diaz-Hernandez. Follow her on Twitter at @anadzhz. Ana is originally from South GA and wants to help folks from out of state plug in to help.” ➡

    • Perky and bubbly as ever, the real estate agent opened the door and ushered them in, exclaiming as he did that, “you’ll be amazed at the space in this one!” He watched them fall into the void until they were out of sight, then carefully locked the door. Microblogvember: space ➡

    • 2008 Puyallup Fair It took a while, but I finally got my photos from the Puyallup Fair processed and uploaded. Prairie and I went on a whim late in the summer, and had a really good day wandering around the fairgrounds. We didn't go on any rides, but did play some of the carny games, got some cotton candy, looked at exhibits, and had a _blast_ watching the Mutton Bustin'! ➡

    • Tideland Tideland is one of the most bizarre and disturbing films I've seen in a long time. Terry Gilliam certainly isn't getting any more normal as the years go by. ➡

    • From the vaults I've been playing with HTML for quite a few years now. Every so often over the years, I've actually been bright enough to make a quick copy of my website and archive it. Tonight, in a mad burst of misplaced nostalgia, I pulled them all out of the digital dustbin and have put them back online. ➡

    • iTMS = IotY …for finally finding a middle ground between the foot-dragging record labels and the free-for-all digital pirates and for creating a bandwagon onto which its competitors immediately jumped, Apple's iTunes Music Store is Time's Coolest Invention of 2003. ➡
    • Traditional Christian marriage The consecration of Gene Robison as bishop of the New Hampshire Diocese of the Episcopal Church is an affront to Christians everywhere. I am just thankful that the church's founder, Henry VIII, and his wife Catherine of Aragon, and his wife Anne Boleyn, and his wife Jane Seymour, and his wife Anne of Cleves, and his wife Katherine Howard, and his wife Catherine Parr are no longer here to suffer through this assault on traditional Christian marriage. ➡
    • Klienfelters Syndrome While for most people these days, any discussion of men with breasts will immediately lead to quotes from Fight Club, it's a very real medical condition called Klienfelters Syndrome. ➡

    • Just dropping in My monitors are here! It's still going to be a few days before I'm online more regularly from the looks of it -- but at least they're here. ➡
