Could have won that game but this song never lets me down. #bears

Da Bears!

New Pedal Day! Even the dog wants to know what it sounds like!

Make a Bond movie academic Publish and Let Perish

Every young person into modernism learning that Wyndham Lewis exists has this happen.

I’ve discovered a new way to be insufferable at Thanksgiving! “Learn“ how to play ”Alice’s Restaurant” between 8 and 9 am. Then you can play it for your family, who barely tolerates your love of the song, but while saying “hold on. Wait. It’s this.” Or “I forget the next part, but then its...”

Here I was agonizing over every comma and exclamation mark in my correspondence, oblivious to the fact that an alarming number of extremely powerful, rich, and ethically bankrupt public figures (ahem, Larry Summers) were firing off emails that are borderline gibberish (with a side of ellipses).

Took my 10 year old to his first concert last night. @thebeths.bsky.social. His review to his younger brother this morning “YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW EXCITING IT IS!”

There are more important things in the world, but I would really love it if streaming services would stop animating old album covers.

It’s Joyce by a mile. And it would still be Joyce by a mile with only Dubliners and Portrait. But it isn’t just those two.

I had to put in level 2 outlet, but I have a 40 ish mile total commute. I charge overnight a few times a week and never really think about it. It’s probably paid for itself in gas savings. And my super basic Bolt EUV drives better than any gas car I’ve ever owned. EVs are a no brainer.

Live footage of me watching the Cubs:

New pedalboard set up for tomorrow night’s show. This is getting absurd(ly cool).

Some smart publication should reach out to every single person who signed the Harper’s letter and get their comment / explicit no-comment

“To resist despair in this world is what it is to be free.” youtu.be/9dMVHxFzNK4

Me watching the cubs figure out how to score runs on my watch on date night:

Caché.

The guitar looper pedal, while an ingenious little invention for practice, is the embodiment of selfish individualism in performance. In this paper I will…

these motherfuckers stoked the flames of bigotry for decades for political gain. now they’re acting like someone who drove drunk, crashed his car into a tree, and wants to blame the evil dems for not taking his keys away. sorry you lost control of the beast it and ate your party whole

I’ve been thinking about Russian River Beers too much and immediately thought “Beers don’t have opinions.”

Because I’m rewatching it at the moment. The part in Terminator where Cameron can’t leave it well enough alone and has Arnold standing in front of the flashing “Tech-Noir” sign holding an Uzi.

Don’t want to lose sight of the fact that the No Kings rallies were planned specifically as counterprogramming to Trump’s parade. Imagine if you were planning a birthday party and bars nationwide announced they’d hold Fuck That Guy’s Birthday Night and like 15 times as many people showed up to those

PCA is so much fun to watch! MVPete!

Apple Plantar Fasciitis

You know you need the semester to end when you think, “This lullaby version of ‘Rock the Casbah’ is so relaxing.”

Trumpism fulfilled.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR *AND* if you teach or study film, nothing you’ve ever taught/studied)

Variations of “how so?” “Say more” are also a college teacher’s bread and butter. The other trick is “when you say [abstract word] what do you mean?”

Who would have guessed that a company named after a communication technology which has fallen into the wrong hands and is now a dangerous surveillance tool that threatens freedom would become a company that surveils people and threatens their freedom?

For sale: Golf clubs. Broken shafts.

Relatedly, there's a very clear divide between guys who bought new clubs and guys who quit golf on FB Marketplace. The quitters note "some broken shafts" in the listing title.

I wonder if you could predict divorce rates based on the number of listings for golf clubs and bass amps on Facebook Marketplace.

Me in 7th grade and me yesterday:

A film that takes place where you're from.

Hi. It’s me. Former child recipient of a dead parent’s social security - a program my Dad paid into his entire life + was never able to use but was critical to keeping our family housed + fed. Not fraud, just a smart way to give kids a chance to succeed. PS that helps everybody

Anyway, if you’re wondering what positive masculinity looks like it’s Rory winning and crying about it.

Rory!!!!!!

A skin cancer charity could do huge amounts of good by sponsoring and sunscreening Bryson DeChambeau.

yeah, weird that the left wasn’t present at the Fourteen Words conference

really selling the dystopia well

“Even big men” is so funny. “It’s not just me, a guy who acts tough but would panic if asked to be tough, it’s big men. Like the kind I imagine wouldn’t be scared of their own shadow.”

“Jesus saves! Gretzky scores! The workers slave. The rich get more. One wrong move and we risk the cup. So play The Man, not the puck.” - Propagandhi, “Resisting Tyrannical Government”

I have one of these posters! Trying to think of the most conspicuous place to put it at the moment!

Who was president in 2020?

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

Saw Refused on Sunday night on what they say is their last tour. Glad I didn’t miss it. “Rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in!”

Sorkinism is bad in all kinds of ways but every executive order makes me wish we had a Dem Party who embraced: “I’ll have to check article II of the constitution, but I’m not sure where this office gets the authority to direct me to the men’s room.” Bonus for explicit trans rights application

Has anyone ever noticed that the mask on the upper right face (I think it's Jerry Harrison) on the Remain in Light cover sorta makes the face look like Donald Trump?

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Characters in novels aren't people. Characters are words on a page.
