Hmm, I know there was an inauguration... must have missed the part where they held another debate?

It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the

It’s tempting

I didn’t rig shit!

Oh yeah? Well *I* wear the chains I forged in life

Watched The Tudors recently and discovered French Gary Cole (Lothaire Bluteau)

No, you can’t make me

I’ll take a venti soy danbongino

No, Blood For Oil

The Formula 1 logo is so stylized that I keep just reading this as “Brad Pitt: The Movie”

Fragrance notes: blood orange, Bloody Mary, blood, blood diamond

I know the MTA means well but “Accidents can happen when people stand too close to the platform edge“ sounds distinctly like a threat

Yesterday I saw a car with a single antler. Haunting

Stop trying to make Grandmagotchi happen

You keep saying American Canto… but I think you really mean American Wonto

Unpopular opinion: “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is a good song. An all-time classic? No. Overplayed? Of course. But structurally, harmonically, melodically, lyrically... it’s a very solid song! If you were told Arlen and Mercer or Shuman and Pomus wrote it, you wouldn’t bat an eye

Just noticed that the New York Post has an account on here that gets as close to zero interaction as is conceivable for a major metropolitan newspaper

Looking at Tailwind CSS for the first time and this (in a “Managing duplication” section) feels very wrongheaded to me? “It takes a lot of keystrokes to make changes” is not the only thing solved by introducing abstraction!

John Cazale. I’m not going to have much time to watch movies

I thought he would Tom Goard on forever

Suckers they be saying they can platform Alan Dershowitz

I am once again asking online merchants to make “Sleeve Length” a standard filter. I don’t want short-sleeve shirts when shopping for long-sleeve shirts, or vice versa

A number of people have suggested this but honestly I think it’s just as important to ban the second person. Do not address me

[whispering to date while watching A Man for All Seasons when a major character from the stage version fails to appear on the screen] Where’s Chapuys

I once watched half a season of 30 Rock in reverse order due to a confusing DVD menu

I hope it’s tickets to “Oh, Mary!”

Dear Apple, This is probably great news! However, I had not updated *my* device, so I can’t manage these new settings. Specifically, my approval of “12+” apps is no longer respected under the new “13+” setting (though 12 < 13, and my teen is in fact > 12). Liquid Glass for me, I guess.

Alan keeps providing opportunities to repost this www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ala...

Grandmagotchi

So it’s like that is it

Hang on, her show is called “All’s Fair” and the character is named Allura? I have GOT to update this site one of these days www.staggernation.com/mf/

Why is everyone talking about The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and not The Wreck of the Hesperus (as illustrated by Wally Wood, MAD Magazine, 1954)? jeffoverturf.blogspot.com/2012/07/wrec...

You can eat blueberries at any time.

If I never open this I’ll live forever

PSA

I’m not a doctor but aren’t these pretty different

Who’s your favorite musician whose name is two methods of transportation? Mine might be El DeBarge

What was the starkest vote disparity between adjacent districts? Perhaps Brooklyn ED 75 (Mamdani +60) vs. ED 49 (Cuomo +70)

Isn’t that the Chiquita Banana song

Those Grapes Were Sour Anyway By Ross Douthat

My hottest take is that if Cuomo had never entered the primary, Lander would have won narrowly in a fairly boring and uncontroversial way, the general would have been the typical Dem cakewalk with middling turnout, and nobody would be talking about it today

Regretting my vote after overhearing Mamdani’s campaign was run by the Luftwaffe?! … Hang on, being told that was “aloof wife”

Terrible news: Kirkland T-shirts fell off

Wanted to find out when to arrive at a certain location to watch the NYC Marathon. Let’s ask AI Overview! First attempt, looks pretty good, even breaks the info down into a handy table. Though it seems a bit suspect that the men will start at 9:05 and may arrive at 9:00. Maybe we should try again?

Wonder if this creates a bit of a perverse incentive for how writers and editors structure articles

If I knew nothing about Mamdani or Cuomo it would still be an easy choice based purely on who is supporting them. I don’t think there’s a single Cuomo-backing public figure I respect

When I say “I resent that document” I don’t mean that I sent it again but that I harbor resentment toward it

The other funny thing is that Adams didn’t drop out in time to get his name taken off. He’s the sitting mayor! If he’s on the ballot, he’s going to get some votes!

Not sure why today’s iteration of “I aced the big difficult test at Walter Reed” is getting traction/pushback/mockery when he’s been saying the same thing for at least a year, but it’s about time

Actually I don’t think that’s how CAT scans work
