There has been talk of Kid Rock running against Debbie Stabenow for senate here in Michigan, so yeah.

Well, I'm from Michigan, so gotta represent (though there's only been one wolverine found in the state in the last 50 or so years).

"Chameleon" is pronounced sha-meleon?

Are you kidding? Wolves are routinely tamed by humans, and in the wild live in cutesy and heartwarming family groups. Wolverines are 40 lbs of badass muscle that would just as well rip your throat out as look at you. There is a report of a wolverine killing a fucking polar bear!

Freeform's just another word for nothin' left to lose…

I watched the premier of Downward Dog and thought it was pretty good. Imaginary Mary not as much.

I check out Pornhub occasionally, and while there are definitely pop-ups, I've never had a virus issue with the site. I do use a Mac though, which may be less likely to to be infected.

Oh, hai Mark!

Wasn't that found to be a 4chan troll thing?

I wish I had never heard of it.

Reminders of the TI 99 bring up a vivid memory of 12 year-old me sitting on the floor of our living room in front of our giant console TV, with the 99 hooked up to it, writing short BASIC programs. My favorite (I've mentioned it in comments here before) was inspired by Wargames, producing a message about missiles

That was my first thought, too.

I just finished the S-Town podcast, so can report that the gold electroplating process uses cyanide, and the other uses mercury.

Melvin & Howard is a movie I've heard about my entire life but have never seen. it looks like it's time to remedy that.

When my daughter was about three we were out in the yard and I noticed a garter snake, and pointed it out. We lived up north where there are no venomous snakes, so I had never taught my kids any reason to be afraid of them. Before I could react, she confidently strode forward, grabbed the snake, and held it out to me

That is crazy! I mean, hadn't he ever seen a circumcised penis and realized the difference? In a locker room? Watching porn? I mean, I'm a woman, and I went many years in life before seeing an uncircumcised penis, but even I immediately could tell the difference!

He just found out he was uncircumcised? How would a person not know that?

Hmm. I like the periodic table idea. When I have to change passwords at work I could just work my way through!

I saw him on the Innocent Man tour. It was Christie Brinkley's birthday and she came out on stage during "Uptown Girl". He put on a great show, and apparently still does. I debated getting tickets to his concert this summer at Lambeau Field, but I'm not a fan of stadium shows.

Yep. One of my favorites from the first time I spun that LP back in the day. I'm glad to hear it's getting so much love recently, and apparently it's one of Joel's personal favorites.
