31 years, hot damn. Despite a revisionist update (circa the 25th anniversary) that it is a good album (and not the dollar bin stereotype), it's still underrated in their oeuvre. Automatic, Monster, and HiFi are exhibits 1a,b,c vs the IRS-truthers

Hey hey hey, it's game day #Werder. My 6yo asks "who are they playing?" - Bayern Oh, they're definitely going to lose Spoken like a true fan

Watching the TNF highlights: -I like the cream look of the Cardinals. The "sand" spots are probably unnecessary and some tweaking they could work out. -Seattle needs to go back to their 80s look full time or do a "modern update" of it

What the hell is wrong with these people?

Overheating university students talk about the movie Zoolander...when I was in college when it first came out.

I had two random posts* get over 50 likes last week. I had this moment of "oh no, I'm not becoming an influencer, am I?" because I'm not made for that. *One had a typo, which, of course

Katherine coming in with some some breaking news from the capital city. Note to my followers outside of Germany: Mexican food is so bad in Germany...(Altogether now: How bad is it?)...that we salivate at the mere existence of a faux Taco Bell

Checking-in live from Bremen, Germany: the Rapture has not arrived. We will keep you posted with further developments.

Daughter has her first English test today. We've already discussed color vs colour and I'm curious to see 1) what she uses and 2) if she's corrected for using the American spelling. Having English as she is in her first year of Gymnasium, is a bit of a cheat code. We'll take it.

Ok Parent Bluesky, here's the situation: My son started school a month ago and he's still finding his way. A couple of boys have already made trouble (not to him) and we get a note from a mom of one - do the boys want to meet up? So-and-so hasn't gotten off to a great start. (1/2)

Every once in a while I like to trigger people by saying I throw my cast iron into the dishwasher. I tak value in how I take care of my CI. And yes, I do use soap.

Clarification, it was our rectangular reversible griddle as seen in the original repost. It had a lip on the edge, raising it a bit off the surface of the stove. So with a flat induction (which we have) stove, I'm wondering if that would work. (1/2)

Browns defense shows up Last second field goal wins it Cheeseheads leave with loss #MorningHaiku

I'm not a T&F expert but in swimming, we've seen winners diversify - the number of "non- traditional" countries succeeding has increased - see Tunisia and their distance crew. While this results in fewer medals for countries such as the US and Australia, it makes the sport better as a whole

Out cast iron skillet sadly did not make the move with us overseas. Seeing this post makes me a bit sad. Though with a flattop, non-gas stove here, it may not have worked out well anyway.

This is definitely cool and while my interest in Harry Styles is ambivalent, as a 3x marathoner, going under 3 hours in his first(?) race is legit. Hat tip to Harry. I appreciate celebrities doing anonymous stuff like this.

My wife: so the Buccaneers are what? - Pirates And now the Raiders are also pirates? But with a shield and swords in the head? -yes

Browns win baby!

I love Myles Garrett but he keeps regularly jumping offside

Honestly, these Browns uniforms, with the brown helmet, are not that bad. There needs to be some striping on the pants and/or socks. With that, the minimalism in sports uniform design needs to end.

Me watching track and field for the one time of the year: so wait, there are a pair of Lithuanian brothers who are the top discuss throwers, and their dad was an Olympic champion? Is that right? I love niche sport dynasties

I'm not sure why the official R.E.M. account is posting this deep cut, but I'll take it. It's one of my favorites off of Reveal

Well, our annual big work event is done and it was a successful weekend. As I haven't eaten all day, time for a celebratory Döner

Picture this: they bring him back, ratings skyrocket, and he doubles-down on his criticism of the administration and ABC

And this is the most ambient noise (people talking) on the tram I've encountered, outside a Werder game experience. Kinda odd for a Sunday morning but I like it
