Longtime Seattle Mariners fandom makes one hardened against any pain.

The 2025 Illinois football experience:

Love when a cornerback jumps a route instead of playing their assignment. I-L-L

Walked into a Starbucks this morning ugly laughing like an idiot because I was listening to the Disney segment of this podcast episode. Thank God the staff there knows me and wanted details instead of asking me politely but firmly to leave 😅

Seeing that land bridge I keep thinking about the allied video guide to transiting through East Germany to Berlin, and what such a land corridor would be like if this happened.

When your primary care just got a stock of new COVID vaccines

My son now communicates like a Tamarian. Move over “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra” - here comes “Tommy Green Fire Alarm, Black Car”

How many turnovers did Duke have against Illinois today?

Illinois’ run game in the final drive.

That’s my coach, right there.

Illinois Football 2025: The torment of expectations.

As soon as I saw what the CDC was up to under RFK, thought something like this had to be coming. Proud of my coast for getting this done.

The exact episode scenario just happened in the Clemson LSU game of a 5 man rush, QB stepped up in the pocket, and threw a pick. I reflexively said “that was a bad throw” and now I don’t know what my alignment is…

I stand by it, great teams taunt. Talking trash like this when your team won 2 games the year before and then backing it up, you have to respect it.

Milo from earlier today, being very normal.

A return to home cooking normalcy with a newborn - made some Filipino Sinangag with Spam since I still had leftover rice and leftover spam after yesterday.

I’m just saying, if you don’t incorporate spam fried rice into your meals from time to time you really are missing out.

You want to click this button to get mass mail spam out of your inbox and keep only the newsletters you want to receive. It's hella useful.

Breakfast with a toddler: “Here’s breakfast!” “NOOOOO NO NO NO” “You don’t want breakfast?” “NOOOO ALL DONE NOOO” “Do you want berries?” “NOOOOO” “Do you want waffle?” “ALL DONE NOOOO” “What do you want?” “ALL DONE” “What do you want after all done?” *doesn’t answer, eating waffles and berries*

My 2 year old is all in his feelings processing having a new baby sister in the house today. The solution? Google Image Search of “Bus” and he’s excitedly scrolling, pointing at each one, and yelling “BUS!” God bless large vehicles. They’re basically toddler therapy.

Ideal Burger Variation 1: Potato Bun, Two 2-3oz Chuck Patties Smashed, Two Slices American Cheese, Mustard, Raw White Onion, Pickles Ideal Burger Variation 2: Brioche Bun, 10oz Fresh Ground Ribeye (cooked medium), Two Slices American Cheese, 1 Caramelized Onion (per burger, only condiment)

Farthest I’ve been (using latitude and longitude, not distance from home): N: Glymur, Iceland S: Buenos Aires, Argentina W: Anchorage, AK E: Sydney, Australia

This is getting out of hand! Now, there are two of them!

Power move: Logging off a meeting with “NTD having baby”

My first earthquake that I was old enough to remember was the “Kingdome Quake” in 1996. My brother was a bit squirrelly in the seats at age 8 and was rocking around. Then at some point, he was rocking so hard that it was shaking the entire row. Then it dawned on the adults that this made no sense.

The SL-1 ep is an S-Tier classic youtu.be/fqyQxAqX-8o?...

The final weeks before a baby arrives are the strangest calm before the storm. Especially when you’ve had a baby before, you know what’s coming but it’s so…abstract.

The latest Old McDonald’s canonical farm according to Charlie has: - Rice - A T-Rex - A Bus - Water - A Ferrari F1 Car (presumably with the seat full of water). This adds up.

I for one loved the British GP this year.

This is not a great evening to have a family friend who is a Kootenai County Firefighter. (They’re fine, we’ve learned.)

Mamdani must explain his tweet from 1740 BC claiming that Ea-nāṣir had "high quality copper"

He’s earned my vote.

Look I don’t deeply care about the NYC Mayoral race because I don’t live there. But you better believe that if I see “Zohran the Destroyer” merch I am at minimum intrigued.

We need you now more than ever @sickoscommittee.org - somebody needs to fix the audio on this as god intended.

It’s a shame that they cut research funding because even with recent advances we still don’t have a violin small enough for this.

Episode One

I’ll be unduly generous and say she indeed didn’t actively vote to deport people she knew. But she did not care if that was the outcome, and almost certainly still does not care. Also let’s s/friend/acquaintance in the subtitle. Vanessa Cowart is not her friend by any definition I recognize.

After just one round…

I have been sleeping on this angle on the crypto legislation and… …fuck.

If you know, you know. (Downside: Have to blame skill when I miss now, instead of equipment.)

I want to see some of the Wing-T modern twists in here, like bsky.app/profile/coac...

Apropos of nothing I’m reminded this morning just how difficult the high heat method is for French Omelets. Those who can make them look smooth consistently are basically cooking demigods.

I used to get encouraged by this but but low information voters are a particular brand of frustrating. “Yeah sure Trump flew our economy into a mountain for no reason causing generational damage. But is AOC really gonna fix it all in four years? That’s why I’m voting Trump again.”
