For the unfamiliar:

This is happening RIGHT NOW. In 10 minutes or so we’ll lose contact as they swing around the dark side.

Bored, in a nearly empty bar in Buffalo with workmates, I wandered away from work talk to hear Sinead O’Connor singing “He Moved Through the Fair” with the Chieftains, which was truly magical at that moment.

An affirmation above the urinal at a local music club.

I dreamed last night that I discovered a long-lost Italian action movie filled with cheesy fake violence and bad acting, called IN ONE EAR AND OUT YOUR MOTHER.

Dreamt that my dad, @boozybadger.lawyersandliquor.com , announced to our family that he was taking us on a surprise trip to Puerto Rico. Everyone cheered & ran out to catch our Uber but I realized I hadn’t packed yet. “Hurry! We’ll miss our flight!!” I woke up panicked about luggage.

Ever wanted chicken that smells like low tide and tastes like week-old lobster? Have I got the frozen dinner for you!

April Fools went downhill when kids could no longer buy itching powder and whoopee cushions at the corner store.

One of my college classmates was as indie rock as possible, became friends with Butch Vig, did his thesis on rejecting corporate norms and embracing pure individualism. He just posted an essay to Substack about his love of Claude and how AI lets him 'achieve his dreams'.

Look at this cute kappa beer from Fukusaki Town, Japan! They’re famous for yokai tourism & this is Gajiro, their mascot.

TIL that the vaguely-remembered 80s comic strip Robotman was based on a concept album by a British singer. United Features thought Robotman was the next Garfield so they launched toys, cards, a Macy's balloon, an animated special, and his own comic strip. It all bombed.

Happy 4th Anniversary to this 11 lb puffball mushroom I foraged.

Let's fucking gooooooooo! www.whatsonstage.com/news/hadesto...

When you let Homer Simpson design a Darth Vader stein...

Want to try Joan Crawford’s favorite steak recipe? Cover each side of a 3-inch-thick sirloin with a quarter pound of butter and half a jar of Lawry’s seasoned salt and broil for 20 minutes per side. Perfect for weight loss and youth!

Today I learned that in the '20s-'50s, it was common to call inexpensive supermarket cheddar cheese "rat cheese" or "mouse cheese", because it was cheap enough to use in traps.

If you’d like to see two actors who’re vaguely imitating Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder smoke weed, yell “Scottish cottage” at each other, eat veggie nuggets, bleat like sheep, run around naked, and make hot cocoa, I definitely recommend EBONY AND IVORY.

Anyone want to buy George Rhoads' "Exercise in Fugality" kinetic ball sculpture from Terminal A at Logan Airport? www.govdeals.com/en/asset/956...

This is the most Morrissey headline ever and I busted out laughing. pitchfork.com/news/morriss...

I've been led to understand that a common, 'hip' thing for 30-somethings to do these days is to have a "PowerPoint Party" where each person brings a ppt presentation that's a deep-dive into a very niche subject or meme. Please, tell me this isn't actually true.

Experiment in fat-washing bourbon with browned butter. It needs to settle in the freezer overnight.

I haven't been a fan of most of the Disney "live action" remakes of animated classics, and am a little baffled at the idea of a Tangled remake, but I have to admit that Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel is an absolutely perfect piece of casting.

Somebody fetch Ben Burtt with a boom mic, this is an ideal Star Wars alien language.

Got a notice that I’ve been banned from Reddit for “identity-based hate speech”. I’m not sure what sort of hate speech was involved in asking for dining tips at Disney World, but I’m not a moderator bot.

This reminds me of day one of my college philosophy class where the professor put a chair on a table and said “There is no chair here! Prove me wrong! You can’t!!”

Dog: MY MAD LEVELS ARE TOO HIGH, GOTTA GET IT OUT AAAAA Dog: whew sorry bout that, all better now, thanx for soothing tummy pets hehe

This is a really beautiful and meaningful video. Thank you, Crafsman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC7d...

The airplane had a game where you help an insane chameleon scientist make furries.

It’s 6am and the Orlando Airport is playing the ALF animated series in the lobby. Life is strange.

The cutest part of Philharmagic is when Donald invites Ariel to play with his webbies & gets all shy when she wiggles them.

This is Beau. He is a textbook example of a golden retriever. They really will try to be friends with anyone. 13/10 for both (IG: beaugoesoutside)

This place sucks, they don’t even have Joust or Tempest.

Les boissons Les boissons Hee hee hee Ha ha ha

Shoutout to the Judi Dench looking grandmother in front of me on the Ratatouille ride who giggled nonstop, squealing “oh, we’re all little rats! This is delightful!”

THE BOY

I love the details in the Haunted Mansion, like these weird owl-like wooden finials.

Happy Ash Wednesday everybody!

See, this is what happens with RFK Jr in charge.

My family and i just shared the best bottle of wine in the universe.

It’s good to see that even Charles Darwin had bad days, as documented in letters to friends.

Winter Olympics update: German favorite Kurt Wuffner easily took gold after an embarrassing turn by Jimmy Ribbit.

Back when I lived in Cincinnati, the band that we all thought would be the next big thing was Plow On Boy, and one of my favorite songs of theirs is Pastoral. It's mellow, it's atmospheric, it's full of heart. youtu.be/UgUawtJKJmQ?...

Harold and Maude is a movie that speaks specifically to its time, but which I mean any time between 1971 and forever. Rest In Peace, Bud Cort.

Did you know that the first telefacsimile service was established in 1865? In other words, Abraham Lincoln could have used a fax machine.

Milan Winter Olympics update: the British bobsled team ran into trouble this year, but the local Calamari Brothers came away with gold.

I once worked for an ad agency whose boss threw a Super Bowl party at his house; when I showed up, he clarified that it was a Super Bowl *commercials* party. We watched movies and every time the commercials came on, he'd switch it to the broadcast. No idea who played that year.

"I'm not creative, I can't come up with any good ideas!" Just remember that there was once a "musical chairs for adults" game show on the CW that was actually called OH, SIT

Wait, the Pentagon funds the Scouts?? www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026...

Humphrey the Bear is coming to Disneyland soon and he looks *perfect*.
