We stan a short king

If someone's too picky of an eater as an adult, I might judge you. I been poor enough, for long enough, that I'll eat anything you put in front of me, except for things I'm literally allergic to. None of which are here. So, this is an easy 0.

Long-standing rule to save time and confusion: When a statement, especially an official one, has a "but" in the middle, you ignore everything that comes before that "but." It literally means nothing.

Probably Sarah Polley.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Any hockey fan will tell you that the Toronto Maple Leafs (or their fictional analogues) and their fans are simultaneously the most spoiled team in the history of the sport, and the doormats of the entire league. Not even loveable losers. Just... yeah.

Funk Sole Brother, check it out now

I don't think he's even diagnosable anymore, not in any meaningful way. Dementia, Alzheimer's, worms, ebola, St. Elmo's Fire, it doesn't matter anymore. His brain is just a pile of mush. He's devolving into his component atoms before our eyes.

Yup. Instantly. Even when joking. Not even once.

Any reason he couldn't host SNL one week? Way less funny people than him (not to mention, uh, political types) have done it.

If we have to have religious fundamentalists, lord let them be like Colbert, and Fred Rogers, and Miss Rachel. Golden Rule types. "As you do for the least of us, so you do for all of us" people. That is a school of thought whose newsletter I might subscribe to.

One hundred percent this. See also: The Cold War.

Me every morning reading American news:

It's giving serious Steve Earle vibes (complimentary). Yes, it sounds a bit rushed, and it ain't "Ohio," but that doesn't mean it doesn't matter.

Today I should be cramming for a French exam I'm taking tonight, so this morning I watched a documentary about... other people taking a French exam. And it was actually really helpful.

YES 🍸🥃🍷🍹

This is a great question. There's a bunch mentioned already (and the thread is packed) but I'll add this one.

Hey. You wanna feel old? the COVID lockdowns began just over 9000 years ago.

I'm not well today, so I'm touching grass & seeing art. But fighting ignorance never stops.

I'm not saying I do it, but... I get it.

I just had to put this somewhere.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

Inshallah, deo volente, today would be a good day to be the day.

I managed to read a grand total of three books last year. Everything else was fine, just... that's weird, and I don't want it to happen ever again.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

So... I'm blogging? More like daily notes, but I'm making a bit of an attempt to start and finish a little something every day. It's a tad (ok, extremely) retro, but I gotta start somewhere, and I'm enjoying the exercise, anyway.

I don't know specifics on any particular company's or brand's politics but it's an interesting question. I might avoid Bulleit/Diageo bc of the Hollis saga, and Uncle Nearest due to (not woke-related) l'affaire Weaver, but would love to hear some experts' takes.

Question. Tonight we finished the last of both our Wild Turkey and our Evan Williams stores, and so we're out of bourbon. We're in France, but we can get more. We'd just rather not get MAGA affiliated stuff, which means, well, I'm assuming pretty much all of it. So, is there any Woke Bourbon?

New episode! This one is a love letter to Minneapolis. Prince, Husker Du, The Suburbs, The Time, Wendy & Lisa, The Replacements, and more. I'll read poetry by Renee Nicole Good, Jordan Shiveley, Hieu Minh Nguyen, and more. Listen up Free/Ad-free/No Ai www.mixcloud.com/KOPN/late-wt...

Ball me, Ishmael.

So, lord help me, I've started -- blogging might be a stretch, but making some notes. I do want to start turning things out a little more often. So far, it's a lot of film & book stuff, but I'm sure running & Paris talk will enter it in good time.

This is how you live a life. History doesn't arc toward justice, it's bent that way, by people like this.

Yes, yes, and, um, yes.
