wow, tonight’s Columbo is from March, 2001. the older guy from Boondock Saints is here.

we are going to win

I have never clicked on a link in a news article so fast in my life

Rent assistance programs for Indy’s homeless get long-term funding mirrorindy.org/indianapolis...

something…annoying…about replies to this that are just like “this is wrath of khan.” first of all, i am aware of the existence of WRATH OF KHAN. second of all, although WRATH is a submarine movie, it is more RUN SILENT RUN DEEP than RED OCTOBER

You might remember that HVAF's apartment building suffered a fire last year. They're rebuilding, with more units and space to serve residents. mirrorindy.org/housing-home...

oh ok this explains why they keep telling me about it even though I didn't ask

two kinds of “family law” - one handles conflicts over custody, child support, etc. the other handles disputes like “my mom made this coffee cake *for me* for my birthday” vs “yes but grandma brought it over on my birthday and therefore meant for me to get some too.”

feel bad for my kid that he is sick but also appreciate him turning the first snowy day of the season into a stay home day for us both.

third to last Columbo episode. Patrick Mcgoohan, Rue Mclanahan, and the lady who played the office admin in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off are all here. I continue to struggle to process Columbo and the 90s coexisting.

two great movies today and our Fringe rewatch tonight is White Tulip, one of the all time greatest episodes of scifi tv

loved this movie so much!

now watching Hail, Caesar! I hope this movie has a more traditional structure / resolution because my dude just stopped ranting about lack of those things in Inside Llewyn Davis.

perfect movie with about 500 times more folk music than I am equipped to tolerate. probably a semi-decennial rewatch. also goes great with the weather today lol.

finally watching Inside Llewyn Davis

high temp at 12:01am ass day

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

I can tell that my streak of not knowing what “overnight oats” are is coming to an end. The Apple News recipes are determined to inform me.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

My mortgage payment is $1100. A house with the exact same floor plan as mine and a worse yard around the corner is being rented for $2500. You are not speaking from a place of knowledge or numeracy.

I skipped this article for a while because I figured I'd read enough about the NYT's Mamdani coverage. I don't want to say the headline does the article a disservice - it is also very much about that - but goes well beyond as well

trying not to freak out about the new weirdest thing i have heard my kid say while playing a game: “don’t save me Nicolas Cage, I want to die.”

One of the great reasons for Dems to look to a new generation of leaders is so they don’t hit bizarre obstacles like this, a policy they wouldn’t have pursued earlier because Biden was the guy who got student loans to be non-dischargable debt.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

Happy 14th birthday to my favorite demon slayer

The Works Progress Administration literally created pots to piss in. The Jasper County Fairgrounds in Rennselaer, Indiana, has a “Roosevelt Privy,” an outhouse built by WPA workers and sold for $5, or about $110 today. Still a cheap bathroom.

Some recency bias from watching their filmography lately, but from what I have seen of them in interviews, I think the Coen Brothers would find me entirely unbearable.

three seasons in and Ted still hasn’t used a lasso wtf

There are house clothes, and then there are the out of the house clothes that go from dryer to closet to car/bike and have never even seen the sofa.

What people don’t understand about living in a High Doggy Count Hair household is that you can’t get dressed until it’s the absolute last minute and sometimes even that will not save you.

as expected, the “loves to cook a big meal” part of my brain is overpowering the “i really don’t want to cook this year” part of my brain despite the latter having months to prepare and fortify itself.

getting my “we don’t have to do this!” and “not all poster’s madness is crashouts!” buttons pushed at the same time by this post, which is squandering the opportunity to possibly never have to think about this guy again because of the addiction to dreading him and having Takes about it.

Let's hang out and talk about IPS and building stronger neighborhoods this Sunday

$400 seems outrageous for a toy (it is a toy!!!) but it comes with Spot, a bone for Riker, and Wesley in his Good Sweater, so I guess I better let the whole extended family know they need to pool their resources come gift giving time.

“i don’t shop there.”

the longer the shutdown goes on, the smarter the focus on healthcare subsidies looks to me. i don’t remember if i posted about it, but i was really frustrated with this strategy at the start. i was wrong.

my brilliant friend Anna is working on a hilarious and crazy inspired-by-a-true-story short film about the absurdity of U.S. electoral politics. i chipped in to help get it made and would love if you did too! supporting bold independent artists is a high like none other ✨

Mirror Indy is worth your support. Consider giving if you're able.

the best part of Tron was when he said "IT'S TRONNIN' TIME" and tronned all over those guys

I broke up with my farmer boyfriend. I wrote him a John Deere letter

If I was a farmer I’d do this with my kids every night: Me: kids! It’s pasture Kids: pasture what Me: pasture bedtime

damn, i need a couple of minutes just to open the thing!

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

The obsessive wokeness panic is about elite labor market competition and prestige. People use a lot of fancy words to obscure this, and offer some substantive criticisms as well, but that’s ultimately its driving force.
