The Covid/flu vaccine didn’t give me any side effects beyond a really rough workout the next day. The pneumonia vaccine that I got yesterday at my physical is kicking my butt. I will not even be trying to workout today.

My nephews wife just had their first baby. That means I can no longer pretend I’m not old enough to be a grandpa.

I feel like Smaug and this post is the black arrow.

From the print Onion

Thomas Nast, the father of the American political cartoon, was born on September 27, 1840. He created the elephant as the GOP symbol, popularized the donkey as the Dem symbol, shaped our notion of Santa Claus, helped end Tammany Hall, etc. (And the political cartoon is more important now than ever!)

the Catholic struggle of having to wait a full 27 minutes into this crime show before a criminal psychologist finally explains the victim’s odd pattern of wounds to the cops - but not to YOU, because you can clock a stigmata at fifty paces and have been waiting irritably for everyone to catch up

If you say “Friyay” l will u-turn out of the room.

Wow. Apparently working out the morning after you got your flu/covid shot is not a recipe for getting in a good workout. Everything is WAY too heavy this morning.

This has been stuck in my head for days now. The inside of my head is so noisy. (And specifically this version. I didn’t know it was a popular song to cover until I looked for this version) youtu.be/f-7kYvfszEs?...

The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.

The streets are empty because everyone is recording a podcast.

TODAY'S COMIC: Utters

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

Been reading Wodehouse's corpus start to finish and this is the first truly great short story. Read to the end, would you? www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2017/10/at-g...

I am completely unwilling to embark on the Discourse involved in people with a table full of Pokémon fan-art merch for sale and a sign that says AI violates copyright. I shall let the Discourse pass through me and only I shall remain.

COMIC: It's Friday!

Can I just say as someone who grew up in a small Southern US town and never once went to a Cracker Barrel, that arguing about the logo is as alien to me as an Australian having opinions on Outback Steakhouse.

I'm probably the only one who cares about this, but Suzanne Vega has a new album out: www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/...

Demoing Escape the Crimps youtu.be/v-gcPfRVH4U?... at Dragonflight GameCon #tabletopgames

Jerry will be at Dragonflight GameCon this weekend demoing www.risible.games/bb-game and Escape the Crimps. No word on if his friends will be there or not.... #boardgames #tabletopgames

I just need another blank notebook and about fifteen more cute little storage baskets. That will fix me.

Several thoughtful comments on how the methodology is overly oriented around reading books in particular. I don't think that's wrong, but let me confess my snooty view that quite simply there is nothing better under the sun than a book.

We will be in the Seattle Area for Dragonflight GameCon August 22–24th. We will be playing Brigade Brawl multiple time during the weekend, and there may even be a game or two of Escape the Crimps! http://dlvr.it/TMbVvQ #BoardGames #Dragonflightcon

A character in a book I’m reading calls experts “adultier adults” which is just kinda perfect.

Why do I have Barbara Streisand’s “The Main Event” stuck in my head as an earworm? Why? Am I being punished for something?
