So this didn’t really pan out but WHAT?!

If you're cold, groundwater is cold. Let it inside your basement

Two more things: What a wormhole to a moment in time when 500 years ago a baby pawed at the breast of his mother and her patience, and love. We live in heyday of sketch appreciation. I can’t deny it. It’s good. This treatment of solid flesh behind diaphanous silk… how is this conceived. Zoom in.

The lifted corner because it’s on paper that was never intended to be displayed, the subject, and the sketchiness… it’s the closest thing to a child’s piece of art you tape to the wall I’ve ever seen in a museum and it’s by the greatest painter of all time. I love this deeply.

finally a feel good politics story

They finally segregated the four Balthus pitches at the Met into a little antechamber w no other pictures, and have a dedicated marker about him that ends w “Balthus always tests the eye.” First Epstein era curating I’ve seen.

Hypnotizing

I cannot believe how good Death of a Salesman was. Christopher Abbott time warped in from 1960. Laurie Metcalf rides the script. The cast spent the shortest time in curtain call relative to standing O enthusiasm I have ever seen—because they are utterly dead after the show. Incredible show. See!!!!!

Need carbon dating to get precise down to the millisecond to see if Raphael made this ass bigger or smaller after consideration.

Hyrule is in Iran.

Bill knew

God it’s real. East village is like Santacon right now w the boys in Barbour and the girls trying to look Chanel. So bad. So bad.

He is Risen.

Got into a fight with my mother about Ryan O’Neal. This is what life is all about.

what the hell happened between Geno and Dawn.

I really did not know this happened. Absolutely wonderful. Wonderful!

Holy crap Lois we’re 80 years old about to die and just realized we’re going to hell

First and only funny think about Donald Trump is that canonically we know he thinks these pilots that keep getting shot down in Iran are losers.

I think I can smell David loach

I love reading about video games

As a Nazi gamer, my favorite games are second-person shooters. Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and so on.

One time in junior high after a track meet no one knew who won the whole meet yet and we were all on the bus to go home and then the one kid who could do a standing backflip did one in the aisle of the bus to signal that we had won, and that thing was shaking. That’s the last time I was a Winner.

Become very sad thinking about drunks, addicts trying to keep it together in war area.

When I was very young and working in an office an older coworker said she was going to be away all day, at home, because she was “receiving packages”. I loved it then. I love it now. Sorry I can’t work today. I’m receiving packages.

Ancient American yapping fuckass

U don’t have to use dishwasher. Just pile dirty dishes into microwave and run for 30 minutes or so.

It’s really a golden age of “hot pockets”. They got like Kati rolls and everything now.

What an odd blurb

Go get him

Interpellation in the Beep Thief household: twice a month my wife will sniff a bottle of milk or chocolate milk and say “Darling will you taste this to see if it’s gone bad”.

had a good handwriting day today

I’ve started saying “Yeeeup” in a new and forceful way and I knew it was *from* something and I finally realized just now it’s from Lieutenant Meehan actor in Band of Brothers when they’re looking at a map, I think? Yeeup. Yeeeup.

Here are the three melodies that I have mindlessly whistled for a few moments probably every day of my adult life: March of the British grenadiers, mozart’s Turkish march, and the Santa dance song from “the snowman”.

I mean, you literally do. Records count.

Let me come back as a municipal bus driver in Côte d’Azur, c 1995.

Fiery.

Every white guy looks like this for a few years.

This is remarkable.

I straight up do not understand the Byron Noem story.

Doing some very occasional “instruction” with a child and was explainin “float like a butterfly; sting like a bee” is a good way to go through life but she kept saying “float like a butterfly, yes” refusing to sting. Then I realized: oh yeah. That’s the better life. What am I talking about.

One of the great slogans of our age.

I’m in.

Just took a swig of a beer after clocking on the upswing that a fruit fly was dead on the surface. Don’t care.

I can hope that my children will live to see the Iranian version of this

This is an idiot.

Leonard Miller is good. @sbunny.bsky.social

This is the new favorite rhetoric on this site. The accountants who pretend to be military bloggers do this too. As if it’s hard to imagine that you guys who professionally pose as “watchers” haven’t osmosed the assumptions of the circles you watch. Take the heat and move on with your day.

ALLAN.

Get stabbed and then fired. Rough.
