For every inch his hairline recedes, he gains a new title. Flawless skincare routine, tbough. Dude's gonna end up declaring himself the Second Coming and look like a 90yo baby by 2030.

*NPR voice* You're listening to Throughline.

"This is a national historic site. History of what? Can't...well not allowed to...say."

Working on Parable of Prodigal Son for bibke study tomorrow, reading Amy-Jill Levine's point about all the times the younger son gets preferential treatment, which got me to thinking: Do you think the story of Jacob, Leah, and Rachel is intentionally riffing on the older/younger sibling dynamic?

Commentators on an athlete with two Olympic gold medals, coming in fourth place in their fourth trip to the games:

"Car seats get so gross." Friend. I just took apart the kitchen table booster seat for the first time in months, and you have seen nothing. NOTHING. I need to go sit in the shower and clutch my knees.

Huh. So not even Trump watched the TPUSA concert?

Reason my 4yo is crying: She asked for a bagel, and I made her a bagel.

Macbeth: SHIT

I've been exiled¹ from the neighborhood party, far from food and drink. Send help.² 1) I'm on parent duty while J the Younger sleeps. 2) It's probably healthier for me to not have unlimited fried chicken and cookies.

I don't like football, but God help me I love Super Bowl parties. Wings. Pulled pork sliders. Pigs in blankets. Buffalo chicken dip. Popcorn chicken. FREAKING FRENCH ONION DIP. It's a grazer's dream. I feel like I'm in high school again.

This is true. But seeing them is making me feel so very old.

Was Stephen Root busy, or...?

Have you watched a comedy in the past 30 years? Watch Best in Show and go "Hey! It's that guy! And she was in that thing!" while furiously scrolling IMDB.

Hosting a discussion with clergy and then scolding them for bringing up morality?

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Actually really like Sabrina Carpenter's voice for country music? She could take up Dolly's mantle. (But like a lot of pop stars who got their start with Disney, she is a surprisingly funny actor.)

...I did nit need to hear Rizzo say "You can turn me on with just a touch."

Listening to Ben Shapiro say "The guardrails held" as an excuse for voting for/continuing to support Trump, and someone really needs to point out that he's admitting he supports the guy trying to drive off every cliff he sees.

What I have to tell you… is that I may have changed my mind… about the Latin Mass. I feel now… like maybe… hearing the Gospel in a language I actually speak… isn't a concession to modernity. I’m realizing… I don’t get what’s problem with the priest facing the people. Eye contact is actually nice.

*singing* Who's the patron of the trans Christian saints? *louder* Who inspires all the they-nts? It's been *deep breath* AGATHA ALL ALONG

A Groundhog Day-type movie where the timekeeping is just the opening credits. The rest of the film is a 10,000 year old coming to terms with the severe PTSD of everything they went through and having the skills of a long life but the resume of a 35 yo assistant manager. Is this anything?

Ibid regional papers. How nice would it be to subscribe to, like, the NYT and get access to the AJC, KC Star, and Houston Chronicle?

This couple looks like the evil version of Nathan & Taylor Pyle (of Strange Planet fame). Also...don't drink raw milk.

Broke: Matthew 25:31-45 isn't a parable but an apocalyptic condemnation of those who abuse the Church. Woke: Mt 25:31-45 is a mashal reminding us to be a poor Church for the poor. Bespoke: Like the parables of Jesus, Mt 25:31-45 has a surplus of meaning, both about the Church and the poor.

13 months ago, AUSAs were competitive positions, something younmight work your way up to after a clerkship. Now? They're begging for applicants on Twitter, and AUSAs are complaining to judges in open court.

Anyone have a Logos-type software they like that's *not* subscription-based? I'd prefer to buy once rather than pay every year... ⚓️

Best part is when the priest who moved from the inner city to the 'burbs and is questioning everything snaps into hero mode to organize the response after an act of violence.

Going to the barricades with Ammon Bundy, Bill Kristol, and Ken Jennings. Even Gimli and Legolas are confused.

Stealing Chappell Roan's incredulous squint.

Resuming. Wilhelm scream spotted!

The Pitt but with parish clergy would be an honestly good show

Pulling a forgotten piece of discarded special interest trivia feels like

Alas, the curse of parenthood. Even this 1h45m movie will also be a two-nighter. Moreover, abolish ICE and dismantle DHS.

Me, watching this movie as a kid: Yeah! I WANNA STUDY VOLCANOS! Me, taking a high school level earth sciences class: Oh crap, this is a lot of math and chemistry...

After introducing Suz to the Tommy Lee Jones masterpiece Volcano, tonight we're doing Dante's Peak.

By the by, if anyone has any recs for a good, thick paper legal pads, I'm all ears. Office Depot used to make a sugarcane line that hit a good "works and is affordable and available" but it's been discontinued.

What sicks most is my psych told me not to mix my adhd meds with sudafed, which means I now have to make a choice of breathing through my nose or concentrating.

Beginning to wonder if I will ever again go more than 2 weeks without a cold turning into a sinus infection...

When Harry Met Sausage Sausage in Seattle You've Got Sausage ...Nora Ephron's works are surprisingly fertile but also sound kinda dirty.

Hell of a way to mark the anniversary of the DC crash.

Like, here's the thing. AOC. Mamdani. Warren. You think they win if they run on a third party ticket? "The DNC is awash in dark money." Cool. We kind of need that to hire campaign staff. Let's use it to win and, once we've won, pass meaningful finance reform.

Adam McKay yelling at socialist grad students while saying we should unhitch our electoral prospects from a party that has actually won major elections in favor of the party of *checks notes* Jill Stein is... Well. It is a thing that has happened today.

Including the Prayer of Humble Access in the bulletin as a prayer before worship during Lent. Like a boss. A miserable offender of a boss.
