I had the same thought watching him perform at the rock and roll hall of fame.

Audition has amazing wav editing, and I just can’t give that up.

Yes, absolutely. You just need a digital antenna. We have one stuck on the side of the house near the roof.

Our August vacation is coming into focus piece by piece. I am doing my best not to try and pack too many things into it and wear the kids out, but it’ll be hard! Too many things to see, too many things I want to see, but will have to skip. This will be my entire personality for the next six months.

We got a larger one mounted to our roof that works well, but yeah, that might be a different story in a rural area. We’re about an hour from the nearest city/media market.

It still is. You need an antenna. We get all the major networks, PBS, and a lot of those networks that play old syndicated shows.

I only get frustrated with alt text when I have a stupid little visual joke I want to make and the alt text takes ten times more effort than the stupid joke.

You know what? I haven’t heard from Michael Moore in a long time, and I’m fine with that.

Thank you for doing your part to make America great.

Easy words to type into your phone.

You can just share his post. You don’t have to screenshot it to harvest likes for yourself.

Yes, and the birds. The damn birds already wake me up around 4:30 in the summer. I don’t want that pushed to 3:30! So yeah, I’d much rather have a bit more darkness in the morning than have the sun (and the birds!) waking me up way earlier than I need to be woken up.

Lizz Winstead created the Daily Show, just so you know.

On a tangent, if a manufacturer offered custom colors, that would be a huge swing in their favor, at least for me. Most manufacturers are hella boring on the color front.

"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Seeing a lot of folks driving with EarPods in. Not awesome. Saw a young dude driving with EarPods and looking down into his lap, presumably where his phone was. Not awesome.

I would like to live in a country where if you Google the president's name and "13 year-old girl" nothing comes up.

In first grade, Mark told me that there wasn’t a god while we were making pot holders. That made more sense to me than whatever lamb stuff they were having me read at church β€œenrichment” time which was where they sent kids during service.

They are great as an *option.* The issue, to me, was going to a store, like Lowe’s or Target, when they would have zero checkout lanes open and force everyone to use self check. That’s a mess and one of the pre-boycott reasons I stopped going to target.
