Sooooo, yeah, this is what it looks like when it's 90+ F and I'm not going to wear full makeup because it's just going to melt off anyway 😂 Oh to be young again. That said, not so bad for an elder goth.

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and—
I said look. Look with your eyes!
Oh now you’ve gone and touched it. The paint is peeling. My beautiful paint! I’ll have to call my pool guy back. Vandal! Antifa! I said look
And despair
Nothing but the algae remains.

I am starting to wonder if shutting down a chunk of midtown and forcing Knicks fans to spend an hour-plus waiting outside so a widely loathed bigot could sit in a weird glass box and stare grimly into middle distance and then fall asleep might have had an effect on the energy in the building

Not going to lie, I was about 5 minutes away from going out and finding a giant orange cat to adopt. And then I met this amazing woman.

Seraphina and I went to a lovely little French restaurant (La Foret in Denver on Broadway) yesterday for brunch. Food was amazing; crab benedict topped with caviar 👀 Going to have to go back for dinner at some point in the near future! #Denver

I've lived almost an entire life without meeting you.
Yet it feels like I've known you well before.
Now that I have, there's no going back.
We only have what we have left.
If you'll spend it with me,
I will be yours.

Going to Saraphina's tonight for dinner.
This is *literally* the first time anyone I've ever dated has cooked dinner. Not joking. For some bizarre reason every woman I've ever been in a relationship with (incl. my ex-wife) couldn't cook 😂 It's why I had to learn!
Ngl ... feels a little weird!

I need to drop a few pounds that I've been carrying since the pandemic. It's not like I'm fat but I've definitely got the "dad bod" thing going on and losing 15 lbs would get me back to my usual weight.
Dancing for me was always great natural exercise, so I figure hit goth nights at local clubs.

Cut off all my hair. Very weird having it short for the first time in ages. Showers are ... much faster 😂 Went to see @garynumanofficial.bsky.social last night at ReelWorks here in Denver. Had an absolute blast. Wound up at The Crypt afterward. #ElderGoth #Denver

I've waited to say anything but after this weekend's race I've decided that the current #F1 formula is probably the worst formula in my lifetime. It makes me very sad. 😥 The whole thing feels like a giant set of gimmicks.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.
Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community.
They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

We have Justin Amash and Bill Kristol saying ABOLISH ICE before most Democrats.
What does that say about the Democratic establishment?
Primary season is on right now, folks.
We all deserve better.
