Wait if Flight 93 crashed in a field, killing everyone aboard, who the hell did we hear the "let's roll" story from, anyway?

People are saying “live phone call” – do we know this bit of American history through essentially sports commentary?

–Overweight Side of Normie–

Okay, the last unconsolidated fat at the bottom edge of my stomach has cleared, the entirety of stomach fat is now a single, taughtly-bound roundish mass with no further deposits barnacled upon it, and we are now at the

–Overweight Side of Normie–

(if “normal” didn’t sit right, “average” didn’t really either)

Actually, I had been holding off for a more absolute and total tautening of the bottom edge but waking up just now my stomach’s on to shrinking in other ways that count for this phase, so time to update.

Ugh, yeah, this is def. some sorta histamine issue, a few days ago some wasps or something stung me around the side of the house, wasn’t as bad as bee stings but now in a 2" radius around all the stings my skin is just writing garbage data to obscure sensory channels in a way that is just really hard to live with

It’s just funny to me that Jim Carrey was so set on Proving He Can Act with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) and then it turns out “can Jim Carrey act?” was a question no one else was curious about.

Like, Mary-Louise Parker can Act, and what’s it get her? 8 seasons opposite Kevin Nealon on Showtime?

I remember books from when I was a kid where the characters’ schools just turned them loose for an hour at lunch to eat at home or a local place or something and that sounded totally foreign to me but when I came to Portland I found they still do that, but now that I think of it a lot of those books might have been Beverly Cleary’s Portland-set stuff so I don’t know if that’s always just been a here thing or what.

Found the source of the infographic that explains how the results were obtained!

Curious about CO being skunk? So am I.
I went deeper and broke CO down to counties. Arapahoe County is the only one to be mostly Skunk. The data has, for some reason, Arapahoe getting 100s of "Skunk furry" searches a month which, on a state level, is more than the others. pic.twitter.com/War8zodpWO

there’s sixteen Colorado counties that their most searched was “wolf furry”, plus thirty-odd counties (not counting either Arapahoe or any of the ones marked here as “Insufficient Data”) which may well have had plenty of searches for “wolf furry”, just fewer than for whatever they’re labeled here

and “skunk furry” searches in Arapahoe County outnumbered “wolf furry” searches in the entire state of Colorado

something tells me Skunks Georg

Always reblog Skunks Georg

this is a wonderful illustration of the problems with the split of american counties innit

i was literally just thinking “And this is what gerrymandering is”.

Okay, went to meet @utilitymonstermash for drinks, got to an area that had been at the edge of my circuit living on Killingsworth to see what it’s like these days, great time all around. The muscle weariness from the last 4.5 yards of topsoil is making itself felt lightly enough I trust I can do 3 more tomorrow and then only take a day or -and-a-half off after.

The way MTV had me thinking Tom Petty was a 90s act was weird.

He kinda was though. He was kind of a multi decade act.

Put it this way: I’ve seen younger boomers have fond adolescent memories of Tom Petty. I’ve never seen Gen Xers.
