hmm... what to read about today: a zombie that should be fully dead by now but somehow keeps going, making everyone miserable in the process? or the president's medical outlook?

Sorry I was late. Fleetwood Mac’s ‘The Chain’ came on as I was parking the car and I had to see how that played out.

The last thing you see before opening ChatGPT

I purchased a wacky inflatable tube man for a project and since taking receipt of the wacky inflatable tube man the wacky inflatable tube man company has accidentally shipped me a second wacky inflatable tube man. I just received a third shipping confirmation. I am concerned about this trajectory

never get tired of this one because it's more or less my whole reason for loving public transit

unexpectedly good weather is always nice, but it's a bit of a shame when it arrives after you're ready for the holiday afternoon nap

omens, portents, things of that nature,

finally catching up on everything from yesterday, and what a weekend for the cars, huh?

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

I always come back to Lincoln on Memorial Day

saw Inglourious Basterds about a week after opening and we all were very impressed with the way Tarantino simulated a film reel self-destructing during the big theater climax. until the house lights came back on

The real value of social media is being able to post something like "The ass is the father of the legs" and potentially have multiple members of congress see it

Bluesky isn’t fun?

This is for like 87% of everything happening now

didn't plan on everyone getting in line for the doors opening at Costco, that's a rookie mistake

Not totally surprised to see Catholicism end up a narrow #2 here because my aesthetics are generally more spartan than the Catholic Church But seeing Baptist was a real fright until I saw “northern” a second later. You can suggest I’m a Protestant, but don’t you dare call me a southerner

Hopefully in the middle of a freeway

[Going to the doctor and showing them this picture] can you make me this? Is there a procedure to give me a Dog in Hat Eating Hot Dog kind of life? This is what I want

oh, this again?

The new SEPTA Metro wayfinding at 8th & Market does look nice, but RIP to my favorite old sign that was still hanging around the system. I really hope SEPTA found it a decent home instead of just trashing it!

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

very glad that nobody can agree on the best translation, because one of these days I’ll end up convincing myself that I’m diligent enough to buy a copy of the Iliad and/or Odyssey

It’s easy to focus on the internet as being a revolutionary thing for humanity, but up until two centuries ago, every other newborn, no matter what society, died before adulthood. In 1950 that was down to 1 in 4. Today it’s 1 in 25. We live in a truly unprecedented era of not dying!

Going to Lancaster PA for Churning Man

uhh just one more thing…

I wonder if anyone got delayed by both this and the North Philly junkyard fire

A lot of grocery store nacho cheese containers say “DO NOT MICROWAVE IN THIS CONTAINER. DO NOT DO THAT” and they can say that as much as they want but I don’t think they’ve grappled with how little the average grocery store nacho cheese enthusiast has to lose
