The And-ER-Son Supremacy, Or, Alexa Play Wespacito
Kids I’m gonna give it to you straight: Blaugust burned me out.

Hey you all hear about Pluto? That’s messed up. SIRI QUICK CHOOSE A NUMBER BEFORE THEY REALIZE I DON’T HAVE AN OPENER, MAKE HASTE. #2: What are some key sources of media that have shaped your worldview? First, a word regarding words. A lot of the words we use to describe things that people make…
Blaugust 2023, Day 15: A Hundred Silent Symmetries
I AM SORRY TO HAVE MISSED YESTERDAY’S POST. I had a bad brain day; nothing serious, just a big ol’ mental Foggy Bottom Boi settling down onto my noggin like a cat onto a television remote, heedless of whether I had things to do or whether I actually wanted to watch another episode of Star…

I STAYED UP TOO LATE READING COMICS, got up too early because cats are the worst, and have sought solace in the embrace of Hawai’ian sweet-rolls, so I don’t have another giant post in me today wherein I hint obliquely at a Fortean worldview that, if I’m being honest, probably didn’t surprise anyone, least of…
Blaugust 2023, Day 12: The Elemental Dave
Okay, I spent all of lunch catching up on all of the alien news I missed last month, and I put together a little digest for you: Three dudes said they’ve Seen Some Shit but can’t get into it, but trust them, it would blow our minds. This, to me, puts them roughly on the…

Blaugust 2023, Day 11: #ATCAB (All Time-Cops Are Bad)
NOTHING NEW OR EXCITING HAS HAPPENED SINCE LAST NIGHT, TODAY I TOOK MISU TO THE VET FOR HIS HANDSOME PILLS AND THEN PLAYED CONTROL AND CAUGHT UP ON MADDOW WHILE JOB HUNTING. Before we begin, I have for you a fun fact and a sincere, out-of-character plea.The fun fact is this: the molecules in THC…
Blaugust 2023, Day 10: If Goozle It Must
This post brought to you by Brian’s Hat. I will tell you a true story. I’ve been reading Tarot for friends and family for years, which actually tells you a lot about the space I occupy in our family constellation; if you need someone tall who knows how to do drywall stuff you call Clarf,…
Blaugust 2023, Day 9: Presently A Local Mormon Cryptid
So I’m not usually one for multiplayer games–I was an only child, so for me video games are for playing alone in your room at 3am while listening to Queen and Pink Floyd’s The Wall on repeat, wondering why God would give you the desire to beat Raijin and Fujin in Balamb but not the…
