we are suffering a severe lack of Steinman/Meat Loaf-style songs, by which I mean soaring seven-minute ballads in which a guy sleeps with one woman and immediately afterwards dies in a motorcycle accident (he is also a werewolf)

I always think there’s a band, kid.

250, y'all. Thinkin' about the melting pot today. Folks who came here outta hope or by force. Folks who were already here, minding their own damn business. All of us in this sometimes rocky boat, trying to make it work. I love y'all. Let's keep meltin' and whatnot.

You see? Robert Moses was just trying to protect people

Whenever Tucker gets bitey, I pose like the Notre Dame mascot and say “I say, Phineas! Fisticuffs, is it?”

As you party on the 4th of July, it's important to take a moment to remember that Spuds Mackenzie's vital role in the signing of the Declaration of Independence. (Bud Light calendar, 1990)

Phil Collins died for your sins.

Appropriate Simpsons Quote for the day: “Those tall ships really lifted the nation’s spirits after Watergate!”

Remember that season one ep of star trek the next generation where they went to a planet where people wore skimpy outfits and fucked all the time but if you stepped on a certain area of landscaping you got the death penalty

I really hate that AI has turned the internet into a pit of suspicion. It used to be a place where you could go to marvel at the weirdness of the world and now we have to evaluate every single thing that seems wondrous.

Anyway, the Tuskegee Airmen faced far worse in their lives than any of us can imagine so if one of them can think this then so can you, happy 4th

Turns out “America 250” was a temperature forecast

Oops, I did it* again. *listened to the ending of the Bernstein performance of Mahler 2 at Ely Cathedral. I’ve become so emotional in the past couple of years. I cry my eyes out at “Bereite dich zu leben!”

PHOEBE BRIDGERS: and what *I'M* saying is that pre-snap motion has become such a staple of Shanahan Tree coaching schemes that modern defenses have fully adapted by filling any potential leverage gaps ANDY REID: (nodding while eating a big bowl of spaghetti)

Who else wants to visit Cabo Verde now? What heart, what soul.

Cape Verde is the size of Kansas City. I promise you there’s hardly a person in that country that doesn’t personally know at least one player on that team. Can you imagine how proud they must be of them?
