It’s a night Iron Bowl in Auburn. Remember everyone, the laws of physics don’t apply. No one knows what is going to happen except maybe God himself. And even God may need a few minutes to explain what the hell is happening

Is there some sizable group of very vocal Avatar fans that Disney is aware of but I am not? Because I really question whether anyone is super excited by the idea of Avatar 3, much less 2 more potential movies.

Always remember that when the Bartlett family gathers at Zoey and Charlie’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, Zoey and her sisters have to watch Charlie carve the turkey with their family heirloom carving knife made by Paul Revere that their dad just gave away to one of his assistants. #WestWing

As background, oral arguments in this case were EIGHT days ago.

No Kings in Birmingham, Alabama aka a “Trump state”

This is my my biggest issue with the "see what ChatGPT says." Doing it that way, you aren't learning anything. You are getting a snippet of information with no context for why, when, who, where, or how. You have no way of judging the accuracy or stupidity of the answer.

Da Vinci: designed theoretical inventions for 2 of our favorite things as Americans, tanks and helicopters, and some paintings Marcella Hazan: great cookbook Enrico Fermi: too many scientific achievements to list here

Dear AI pushers: You cannot force me to use AI, no matter how many weird pop-ups and icons and auto-settings you generate in your apps, browsers, and search bars. I can work around you, and if it comes to it, I am happy with pen and paper. Fuck off very kindly, Courtney

Okay… we might have found something more terrifying than Derrick Henry with a head of steam.

And I’m watching on YouTube because the local ABC is owned by Sinclair

Have I ever intentionally watched Jimmy Kimmel’s show? No. But I am watching now.

It is on brand for a modern era former Georgia football player to get ejected before the first snap of the first game of the regular season.

This is why there's never been a popular show called Law & Order: Appeals Unit.

Do the words "unconditional surrender" mean anything to you?

Mixed berry cobbler for office birthday lunch. Blue, black, and raspberries with a butter biscuit topping served warm with ice cream. Happy with how this turned out

Whenever you struggle for motivation in the morning, there is one surefire way to find it.

What are you biggest red flags in cooking videos? Mine are: 1) barely salting meat, 2) someone saying brown the meat and then very clearly doing a shit job of it, 3) same thing for vegetables, and 4) water when stock and/or alcohol would be so much better. Let me know what yours are

[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

I don’t think I’m exaggerating that this letter is sanctionable. All of it is total nonsense. For one thing, no money has been paid or will be paid back.

This is long been my biggest thing about generative AI. If all you do is input some information and it generates "work" for you, you haven't learned anything. You don't have the knowledge to critically evaluate what has been generated. And you haven't learned anything to apply in the future.

In undergrad, a history professor had us pick a topic from a list and research it on Wikipedia. Then we had to go look at books in the library on that topic and compare. I love Wikipedia, but never treat it as gospel.

I fucking hate summer

This is what happens when you are using AI to draft motions and briefs. www.al.com/news/2025/07...

Seeing a lot of “in an age of AI why be a writer/artist?” takes. 🧵 ahoy. #BookSky #AI I’d argue that, as a human endeavour, art is now more important than ever. It’s not just the need to combat an endless tide of mundane or outright awful AI slop, and the corporate greed that powers it. 1/7

I think I have learned of an allergy that scares me more than peanut and meat allergies and my personal antibiotic allergies combined. A garlic allergy.

Properly crusty cornbread. Glad it rained and dropped the temp outside before I cranked my oven up for this. But totally worth it.

Back on my premier protein shake for breakfast or lunch bullshit. Time to get this diet back on track after a couple of lackluster months

Truth, justice, and the American way is a phrase that comes for Superman. It was always political. Remember when the Joker was proudly anti-Nazi?

I don’t get how people keep doing this.

Me: I love corn. Me after shucking 13 dozens ears of corn: I mostly love corn.

Do not let them steal joy, laughter, happiness, and most importantly hope. It is something they can only take from you if you let them. And if you do, they only see it as another win.

Remember the days when we had a quiet period from SCOTUS in July and August.

There are always men like Trump, and always those who enable them.

Sometimes you need bolognese even though it is the middle of the summer in Alabama. Which is why I froze half of the last batch I made so I wouldn’t have to cook it fresh in the summer.

Hardly surprising because this excellent quote by Brian sums it up: "Of course, it’s no secret that Britt, Tuberville and almost every Alabama Republican gush over Trump and attack his enemies with the fervor of a Justin Bieber fan on Twitter in 2009."

World is on fire so I am having Waffle House for breakfast

I’m just so fucking tired.

Having watched most of season 4 last night and seeing some mixed reviews, I personally love season 4 with one exception of a plot thread that needed to be resolved sooner. Is there the nonstop frantic chaos that defined seasons 1 and 2? No. But the calmer and slower approach works this season.

So, these people are white supremacists of a very specific, American kind. The idea that the right to govern belongs only to a select, racially defined group was *the* political theory of the antebellum and redeemed south. Ask who is being replaced and why that’s a problem, you’ll see it.

Is it possible the takeaway from the NYC democrat mayoral primary is to nominate someone with a pulse, a shred of a spine, ideas, and just a dash of fire in the belly?

Did season 3 have its problems? Yes. Am I going to binge all 10 episodes of The Bear season 4 as fast as possible tomorrow night? Also yes

Chief Justice Angel Hernandez.

Hallmark of modern GOP. Scream about the evils of socialism and the greatness of capitalism. Until it doesn't fit the desired narrative.

Romeo and Juliet HARD ❌ Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast. EASY ✅ Dude, slow down.

I was built for ice ages. Not global warming

It is amazing how much the U.S. keeps making the same mistakes over and over since becoming a super power. Just assuming that people will lay down and take whatever our military dishes out and will never fight back. Worked out great in Korea, Vietnam, Mogadishu, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere

Much to my chagrin, several hours of a Saturday have been consumed by discussion of a Nazi's paper Look, I'm participating in it. But let's step back for a minute. You do not need to take a white supremacist's argument that the Constitution enacts white supremacy seriously.

@subnomnomnom.bsky.social @cseguin03.bsky.social Odds are good that a certain someone would insist that this young man is being unfairly criticized for expressing his opinion and that he is likely a polite young man.
