reasons to hate millennials
for some reason, in this weather I keep expecting to see coyotes every time I look out the window. "trash wolves in the fog" keeps running through my head...
dream, big bug
just remembered (finally) that part of what I dreamed was trying to catch a *really big* bright green praying mantis that was skittering around loose. I wasn't afraid of it, although I knew it would hurt if it pinched/bit me, but also that despite its size (nearly as long as my forearm) it was still relatively fragile, so I had to be careful in catching it. I tossed a towel/cloth over it, and it made angry chittering/rattling noises as I put it in a shoebox.

It's called Rhythm Fantasy. Somebody slips it into a kid's drink, next day he wakes up in a ball pit covered in bug spray.

Kudos to @Draekos for the awesome work (and for being awesome in general). Dragons have to hoard something, right? https://awoo.space/media/sJayqTsM_NyNgXxwoXg

If you want to hear Patrick Stewart's intro and outro, here they are: https://www.tor.com/2013/12/16/patrick-stewarts-monologues-on-the-nightmare-before-christmas-soundtrack-make-perfect-bookends-to-the-tale/

Did You Know: The original "Nightmare Before Christmas" intro was considerably longer, and there was an outro, to boot, read before the closing credits.
And both were read by Sir Patrick Stewart, in the original theatrical cut and on the soundtrack.
It's still not clear to me, 24 years later, why they changed it for the home video release.

Schrödinger's Joke: a social media post that is "telling it like it is" until someone objects to it, at which point it's "just sarcasm, why do you take everything so seriously?".
glanced out the window and saw one of the coyotes trotting around, sniffing bushes, being extremely wary. it disappeared before I could get a picture. it's not Scruffy, so I don't recognize it--possibly a yearling looking to establish its own territory; it's the right time of year for that behavior.
me: I'm taking a shower.
Spouse: bring it back when you're done.
me: no! we're going to elope to Tijuana!
Spouse: RUDE.
both cats love watching the birds and squirrels on the porch (with occasional tail-wiggling, mrr-chirping, and abruptly ended pounces), but Nar is fascinated by crows in particular. nothing grabs his attention like a crow hanging around the porch--even similarly-sized birds don't excite him as much. our joke is that Nar, being a black cat, thinks that the crows are "his people" and wants to go outside to join them...

Toxicology says he was high on somethin' called Witch Croissants. It's a tranquilizer for dingos.

I disabled favorites and boosts in my Notifications column and the lack of feedback is at once unsettling and really refreshing. I don't have to care if people liked what I posted!

"Witch" is an ancient word that hasn't changed much in form or meaning. It's always basically meant someone who uses magic or divination.
It comes from ME "wicche", from OE "wicce", "wicca"; that's derived from "wiccian" ("to practice sorcery"), which is from Proto-Germanic *wikkōną, which itself is from PIE *wik-néh, meaning "to consecrate, separate, set aside".
Side note: we get "victim" from the same source; its ancestor referred to a consecrated sacrifice.

US poli
Anyone notice that Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, the 2-person company tasked with repairing PR's electrical infrastructure, and Richard Nazi Spencer, are all from the same town of 6,000 people?
