Please stop saying "I got you" at me all the time. I simply do not need to get got a dozen times in the course of a day's errands and tasks and sandwiches.

Call that the Hilton Garden Inn Providence pour.

Was wavering on my “Pats definitely going to the Super Bowl” celebration tactic, have settled on: 100 beers.

I love the Pats but man its feels indecent to root against a Stidham/Darnold Super Bowl

Important family friend I barely knew passed today. Google lists his 30-year-old high school hockey triumphs before his 20yr-old arrest. Maybe the computer is still good?

I got a meat hammer the other day, now my meal planning is totally consumed by the hunt for meat nails, and I finally understand how all this shit works.

I’m not that concerned with Boston University or hockey but I’ll tell you what is a BU hockey game a good time.

I fucked my hands up bad a few years ago, everything grew back mostly fine but just today I realized I don’t really have fingerprints to speak of. So yes, I guess it’s on me, and consider it done.

This is our year for sure.

When they play NFL games on Saturdays I think they should have to use CFB rules. Drag a toe? That’s a catch baby

If we’re going to let one state dictate our foreign policy I guess it’s good that it’s one of the bigger states. Shame it’s the absolute stupidest one, though.

JetBlue lady gave me 2 beers and the Bills/Eagles game is on, best flight ever, go birds.

Orange slice with Courvoisier? Atlanta knows how to do it.

Atlanta’s cool! Lots of lists of rules posted everywhere, like extensive codes of conduct at the aquarium that suggest a rowdy civic nature, but everyone seems friendly and attractive and fashionable (even accounting for how easily a Bostonian is impressed on those scores)

I only fly a few times a year; JetBlue seems pretty nice overall but I don’t care for the beer selection, you can see the dilemma.

My favorite part of Xmas is wrapping presents but the vibe needs to be right and that was slow coming this year, but it’s finally time!

Worst part of very mild depression is how fast your pajamas get stank. It’s only been 3 days!

Our college kid buds are back in town and it’s dismaying how little they’ve learned. None of them have read a book since 9th grade and they cheat on everything and the schools don’t care. We have failed these lil dumbasses and I don’t know how to fix it.

This is one of my favorite Patreons. I’m not a visual guy so a lot of illustration in general is lost on me, but Brian is such a good communicator that his stuff always lands perfectly.

I’m open the idea that “hey man I didn’t vet everyone on the softball team’s entire life, if there’s a secretly bad dude in the mix I apologize and will work to correct it but not necessarily my fault.” However! Big Cool Jeff seems to have made pedophilia his entire personality. Hang them allllll.

Going to ATL for a couple days and the working list is aquarium, football museum, Magic City, MLK park. That’s plenty, but what else (we’re not into regional food meme stuff)?

It seems to have changed the jaywalking game. It’s no longer an obvious “I got this” or “no chance.” You have to calibrate your odds, which I find stressful. Bring back 24/7 gridlock!

My wife (not to brag) has a job (not to brag) and I asked if we could stay up all night drinking mad elfs and listening to holiday bullshit and she said yeah fine (to brag)

Downtown bar manager buddy told me today used to be the busiest lunch day of the year and now it’s not even worth opening. I’m staunchly pro-RTO just to save the holiday week lunch trade, once you’ve lost that you’ve lost your society.

Touchdown Lions on the simple grounds of “let cool shit happen!”

Puka is almost certainly dumb as shit and also possibly a decent guy, which is the whole problem: we got tens of millions of decent dumb guys, and if it’s this easy to turn them bad oh boy are we fucked.

Never really knew what my buddy Tom does for a living—you don’t go to the bar to talk about work, I say—but today he’s wearing one of those business-boy vests that says something something “biomedical informatics” on it. That’s gotta be fake, right? No way that’s a job.

Seems like there are fewer Christmas beers around this year, which sucks. A person shouldn’t have to hunt for Mad Elf!

Jamelle looks like a powerful person but I was not expecting this. Maybe just make him president?

I’ve never been in an airport lounge but I am still very certain they are sucker places for chumps. Stand straddling your bag at the Chili’s like a normal person, it’s shitty and fine!

Em got a Christmas bonus and I’m insisting she do something awesome with it, pool and pool table both vetoed on grounds we live in apt building. Pinball machine and/or same-day trip to Magic City so far met with what I’ll call contemplative silence.

In the new Slough House book an honorable thug spy type “refuses to toast anyone’s death” on anti-ghoul grounds, and I get it and also disagree

I love Providence so much

I wrote an important essay that will improve your holiday travel if you follow its very specific instructions: airportbeer.selfhelpartpublishingempire.com

Train’s full of education conventioneers—middle school principals and the guys who sell them software, best I can tell. Not a single one drinking! If those dudes don’t have quasi-working lunch beers anymore, who does!? Failed state.

Bums me out to see so many ppl doing work-work on a Saturday train. Any one guy could have whatever good reason, but surely most of these mf’s should be drinking beer and watching Christmas movies!

I don’t love the modern airport experience but I’m very content to pay $22 for a couple grocery store IPAs at whatever place is closest to the gate. The idea of paying $800/yr for a certain credit card to get into a certain airport bar is preposterous.

Perfectly fine name I dislike for no reason: Justin. Feels like you’re a natural born Trevor whose parents lacked the fortitude.

Strong language for winning a dollar on the Rhode Island lottery but I’ll take it.

I haven an idea to make the A.I. bubble sustainable: Let artists live in those data centers for free instead while making shit for weird nerds at fair rates.

I’m tired of living in a cultural wasteland (none of the bars in my neighborhood have Keno)

I think it all started going downhill when we let sub shops use chicken fingers to make chicken parms.

My favorite persona to project onto the cat is “permanently aggrieved small business tyrant.”Today she’s fuming at rumors that her delivery birds might try to organize.

It would really tie up today's news threads if it turned out Dick Cheney was killed by a sandwich.

I’m a little worried NYC’s kink for electing the biggest clowns possible bodes well for Sliwa.

I don’t think Jeffries and Schumer and them fully *resent* Mamdani’s sincere love of NYC and desire to improve it, but they clearly regard it as a parlor trick akin to being tall or having been on the Tidewater Mets for a month in the 80s.

When they are firing t-shirts into the crowd at the basketball game with the t-shirt guns theres always a couple folks throwing them by hand because they have felonies on their record

"Passive park." Sounds like a euphemism for a graveyard

Is this the worst bar night of the year? The weather's fine and I'm home alone and have watched enough TV for the day, perfect conditions to head around the corner to honor the sunday scummies, but I can't imagine leaving the house at this late hour.

Sucks that the Patriots being weirdly good makes an otherwise decent-leaning guy root for the fuckin Chiefs sometimes, that can’t be what Dr Football had in mind
