Chesney: "How did I get booked along with actual, consequential musicians?"

Predictably, the Guardians of Pedophiles' 8th-grade playground rhetoric is amplified by the media — even by NPR. Talarico doesn't take the bait. But I long for the day when he or any Dem comes back with: "When are you going to stop letting Republicans write your interview questions?"

This is good, but where we at with the punks who killed Renee and Alex?

First Amendment is still a thing; leads to $$$ in KKKirk KKKash. I am self employed, so after I fired myself for snarky KKKirk KKKomments, myself sued me for $1 million and won. I've filed an appeal to reduce the award to whatever's in the piggy bank.

These are a few of my favorite people.

Lenny "Blow the ball foul" Randle demonstrates how to blow up the pitcher, earlier in his career.

I was ignoring the NBA earlier. I thought the Knicks were undefeated in the playoffs. Not so. They dropped 2 in a row to Atlanta in the first round. After that, they started eating their Wheaties and have gone 11-0.

Unforgettable s04e07: Frank Whaley guest stars. s04e12: Frank Whaley is name dropped. Never heard that before.

These acts were booked by someone who: a) is roughly my age; b) went into a coma just before Nirvana's Nevermind dropped; c) woke up last week.

Great moment in Mariners history.

BREAKING: Cookie Monster shows signs of poor impulse control, per CNN child psychologist.

So tRump had his third "routine" visit to Walter Reed in 13 months. Totally normal right?! NOPE! Read this from Rick Wilson...its shockingly frank and eye-opening. substack.com/app-link/pos...

I never made a list of Things I Hope I Don't Have to Explain to My Son. And if I had, I wouldn't have included Why We Can't Trust the Supreme Court to Prevent a Cruel, Demented Imbecile from Seeking a Third Presidential Term. Nonetheless, here we are.

I would have thought federal agents tear gassing a sitting US Senator (from the tristate area!) would have made the front page news, but what do I know… @nytimes.com

When you finally understand and accept the hard truth here—that every single system in America is collapsing all at once—you realize that all that matters now is *steadying the wheel with adult leadership*. Forget pet causes, focus on saving the entire enterprise that is America.

Unforgettable, s04e03: Barry Shabaka Henley claims a 12-bar blues progression is 1451. That's not even 12 bars. Any fool knows the progression is 111144115411 (or the last digit is 5 if you're playing a turnaround).

Agree wholeheartedly with this. Burke played Watson as Holmes's moral conscience: one who saw Holmes's faults and urged him to be a better man. For whatever reason, the writers never gave Hardwicke the opportunity to do that — not that I can recall, anyhow.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

The Calves are becoming Veal.

In honor of the true heroes on this Memorial Day, I fixed it. #DonaldTrump #MemorialDay

He starred in Seinfeld, he was married to Britney Spears for one wild weekend, and now he's pitching for the Astros. Is there anything Jason Alexander can't do?

Cooking at home isn’t a “hack,” and it definitely isn’t a new discovery. It’s so common that most houses actually come with a dedicated room just for that purpose.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott delivers commencement speech to Kansas City Art Institute graduates. Wait for it…

He is obviously getting regular infusion therapy of some kind at the White House. Perhaps the tweetstorms posted by his intern are timed to cover for those infusions. He can get routine checkups there too. Going to Walter Reed means something serious that can't be done on an outpatient basis.

This should not come as a surprise. After all, just war theory was developed long before WMDs or even aerial bombardment. We have a handful of politicians who've heard of just war theory but have no idea what it says. They'll spin this as Leo supporting Iran.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

“What’s Nashville have that we ain’t got in Seattle?” New Jim Crow, strict abortion ban, union-busting, low wages, unchecked poverty, and gun deaths in spades. Just what Starbucks was looking for, John Burbank opines. Op-ed by John Burbank: www.theurbanist.org/op-ed-starbu...

Rosemary was ROBBED of a Best Supporting Actress nomination if you ask me.

The Giants' search for a QB Who Isn't a National Embarrassment seems unlikely to conclude anytime soon.

Nearly all net-positive interstate migration in the US is to the worst states in the country, make it make sense What we *should* be doing is acknowledging that nearly every red state is a failed state and unpacking why that is and emulating what the blue/purple states are doing

Sometimes a picture says more than a thousand words. Cartoon artist Mette Dreyer got the Pentel prise for best cartoon in 2025. Reported in today's Politiken newspaper.

Marco Rubio when he finds out he’s the new Director of National Intelligence

Two young women exploring a lovely Seattle neighborhood on e-scooters — ON THE SIDEWALK. Someone really should spoil their whole day.

That's getting uncomfortably close to the truth.

How it started. How it’s going.

Five years ago, I wrote this anniversary piece to help create a permission structure for not liking SHREK. Now that it's 25 years old, surely everyone now agrees that it's a piece of garbage: www.theguardian.com/film/2021/ma...

On his birthday, we remember the great (and Academy Award-nominated) Paul Winfield, who played Captain Terrell in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Captain Dathon in the classic Next Gen episode "Darmok."

Finally had my first AK Pizza experience. The pizza I got was the vodka, whose only topping is basil leaves, and it was >2 hours old by the time I fetched it home. Topped it with Isernio's sausage, shishitos and Mama Lil's; 4 minutes in oven; happy family. Will try to plan better next time.

The legacy of Joe Arpaio...

Howard Schultz and Jeff Bezos aren't the first crooks to make their reputations in Seattle and then move to Florida to evade responsibility.

When it's bratwurst time and you don't have sauerkraut but you do have kim chi ... any decent person knows what to do.

This is why I laugh at people who worry that "millionaire flight" will erode Seattle's tax base. If millionaires don't pay taxes, their departure won't make a difference. They can go and not pay taxes elsewhere.

Looking forward to it

Sallied forth last night to fetch tacos and NONE OF THE STREET TACO STANDS WERE OPERATING. Did the health department get 'em? Did ICE get 'em? Or do they take Mondays off? Went to a brick-and-mortar taqueria instead; thank goodness it was still there.
