Greetings from another Cincinnati west-sider who got out while the getting was good! It was always embarrassing-yet-fitting that Springer was one of our biggest stars.

These albums were the soundtrack of my life during high school. My senior quote in the high school year book was from Fond Affections. Damn I was a melancholy kid.

Ouch. I have been the friend-who-brings-their-partner-along to friend dates before. I think some of my friends were too timid to mention their annoyance to me (I didn’t learn til much later it was a problem). But I stopped doing it when a different friend thoroughly chewed me out for bringing my girlfriend... I wish…

Do you like beer? The Cascade Brewing Barrel House on Belmont is the place to go for sours. Some of their sours are so costly to make (due to huge quantities and low yields of seasonal ingredients required) that they can’t produce enough to bottle, so the only way to taste them is from the tap, while supplies last.

Yeah, I’ve never eaten at their food court but Costco’s take-and-bake pizza is f*cking delicious.

This is one of the worst remotes I’ve ever used. Not only is it easy to have the thing upside-down in your hand, but it is extremely easy to accidentally back out of a program you’re watching or completely lose your play position while fumbling around for the stupid thing. I actually have a slight amount of anxiety…

Note: Being polite is not an indication of sexual desire.

I wish people would stop criticizing women’s reactions to the bad things men do.

Amazon’s own delivery services, Flex and Logistics are MUCH worse about this sort of thing than the US Postal Service, at least in our area. We have very unpredictable delivery times whenever a package is carried by Amazon Logistics (Prime 2-day shipping no longer applies), and sometimes they straight up disappear.

I hate this. In my 100-110 journey on two characters I never got the sense that my characters were improving, because all the mobs were an equal challenge the entire time. I know that means it’s working as designed, but I actually like the sensation of having a more powerful character... especially at max level.

It’s realizing that we’ve somehow come all the way back around again.

Today I learned that I am actually a Jay-Z fan.

A great and unexpected post. While I thank you for writing this, it created a new longing to see the galaxy of “lightning bugs” that used to fill my neighborhood where I grew up. I now live in a place without fireflies (or thunderstorms, which I miss just as much) and I’d give a lot for a walk in those old woods among…

Holy shit, “Dollar Tree Dictator” is the best Trump descriptor yet.

What is the purpose of auto-tuning rap?

Jake Paul is human garbage, but the actual worst person on earth is “Instagram Model” Christian Burns. These are words that have come out of his mouth, in public, on video:

It’s genuinely disappointing. My kids have wanted one of these so bad, but I’ve never found one available anywhere near the MSRP. Now it sounds like I never will.

I feel sympathy for her husband. Because he married a Trump supporter.

Actually I would not be surprised if many of them don’t accept that she lied, and instead claim she was coerced into confessing. Consider Pizzagate, where each time an aspect of the conspiracy theory was publicly debunked, believers actually took it as more evidence that something huge was being covered up instead of…

Trump supporters DO NOT CARE about truth. They know they elected an authoritarian president and they will follow him all the way to the tragic end.
