Buffy ,'Showtime'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hmmph my movie going friends are 1) backing out because of the snow (walks with a cane, so understandable even though I offer to drive) and 2) not responding to text or phone call.
I mean I have plenty of movies to watch from home, but getting out was part of the idea.
Hmmmph

I've only TikTok'd when I followed a link. It has been my assumption for many years that all of my personal info is available to anyone who really wants it.
Well done with getting those ducks lined up, Hec.
Belly~ma, Epic.
And I'm also (sort of inexplicably?) disappointed in Snoop.
Likewise. I was so delighted with him during the Olympics. Pout.
Enjoy the hybrid, Theodosia. I loved mine. It got better than expected mileage.
Today I am watching Death and Other Details on Hulu. I do get news updates via email and happily read about the slew of last minute pardons. These people should not have to spend their dollars defending TFG's revenge actions. Much sadder update about Cecile Richards' passing.
ok, new plan - watch a bunch of the short listed shorts from here: [link]
and then maybe a full length on Netflix.
Apparently, Snoop was having a meltdown on Insta last night over people unfollowing him and calling him on his bullshit. So at least it’s not proven consequence free.
Still. The last several years have been a demoralizing chain of (mostly but not entirely) men going out of their way to demonstrate, they were never who we thought they were.
I missed that your new car was a hybrid, Theodosia. Neat! My current car was the first one I ever bought new and the last one I’ll ever buy internal combustion. But I don’t have any way to charge at home for now.
I forgot to say hi to Emily. Hi!
Disassociating from the news for a few days.Same.
I cut way back on Meta just by unpinning the FB tab on my laptopI just logged off and removed my bookmark. It's not a forever permanent thing. Yet. I doubt I honestly will miss much. The local groups get ugly anyway.
It has been my assumption for many years that all of my personal info is available to anyone who really wants it.Oh definitely but I'm tired of voluntarily letting them push their political bend to me.
Will the board take me back?What Parker said. Always welcome and a welcome font to see.
and happily read about the slew of last minute pardons.That is good. TFG is just not okay in the head.
Hope you feel better quickly, Epic.
I never got into Twitter and I’m not sure Bluesky works for me (it’s a lot of people reposting the same things) but I’m there. And still trying to figure out disengaging from FB and IG. For today I took them off my phone so I don’t go out of habit. (I’m laharbin on Bluesky, which I always call “Blooski” in my head)
I'm enjoying Bluesky, but it's a Twitter replacement, not FB.
UGH, I went out to shovel the driveway and de-snow-ify the cars this morning and discovered that I'd left an interior light all night and now my battery is dead. I'm going to hold off calling AAA until the roads have been fully cleared since my Prius is not built for randomly driving around in the snow for funsies.
I was having some battery issues a couple of years ago and ended up buying this really amped up power thingy. It jumps everything super easy but also can inflate a tire, provide a spotlight or charge devices.
It cost about 100 bucks at Costco, but it’s been such peace of mind, that minor lapses like that are barely a blip rather than a big PITA. (I also have one tire that tends to lose air pressure for some reason, the mechanic can’t figure out, so that’s a big anxiety point dealt with also.
But what’s also delightful is I’ve been able to jump three or four people who I noticed in trouble. It’s so fast and easy that I feel like I’m always on the alert for people standing around with their hood up, looking helpless. I can help!
