There is a serious “shut the fuck up Friday” moment in S1E6 of “The Pitt”

(per @clapifyoulikeme.favrd.social’s lawyer version of the Pitt posts)

Has anyone done the “there’s been no decent conservative art in the last few decades except Pixar movies” take, or nah?

Western Civilization has truly declined from its former standard (having one tall thin sinister goon to go with the short beefy oafish goon)

Update: the 7YO’s teacher posted a picture of Booger at her post brumation (a term I just learned) party today.

Not going to post it here without permission, but it's partially that I think, but also partially that (a lot of) people in the US aren't really familiar with Sephardic Judaism and just look for the most familiar box to put someone in

One of the coolest things I’ve gotten to do in my life was watch my wife perform (as a member of the St. Louis Symphony Chorus, back when we lived there) at Carnegie Hall. It was amazing. Hell yeah to you and the band.

This is why vast swathes of Central Asia and India speak Macedonian Greek

Pleased to report that both of my kids now have a favorite Mountain Goats song:

4 2/3 YO (the correct fraction is, indeed, very important): "Fresh Tattoo"

7 YO: "Woke Up New"

I don't like to brag, but this is good parenting.

Beyond the specifics of this case, as someone with a Swedish name that everyone thinks is Jewish, married to someone with a (Sephardic) Jewish surname that everyone thinks is Italian, I find this stuff fascinating

I have mild anxiety and also ADHD, and if someone wants to give me several billion dollars I promise to use exactly $0 of it to bomb school kids

Fun with maps! My home in Madison, WI is about 20 miles closer to the nearest point in Iowa (home of the Star Tribune) than downtown Minneapolis is

The first time I made this recipe I was young[er] and impatient, didn’t budget nearly enough time, and it predictably sucked. The second time I took all day and it was an absolute thing of beauty

Thinking about becoming an ivermectin guy, but for taking nasal spray for more than three days in a row when I have a cold

My take on Firefly is that if you’re looking for an aesthetic mythology of people who’re still fighting a noble lost cause, you don’t need to go with the racist bullshit, the Spanish Civil War is right there.

There was, uhh, a bit more than just the British fleet standing before Napoleon

And the fittest guys in the army got that way from the CCC (aka a little socialism, as a treat)

Your sign of spring for today is that apparently it was warm enough for the 7YO’s class’ bearded dragon (named Booger, of course) to go outside

Listen motherfuckers, let me tell you about charter schools

Waiting until after they kill thousands of their bravest opponents, and then giving them their biggest propaganda coup in decades. Real hard to believe this, huh!

Ironically given the original post, if American sports did have this system, the Wolves would not be in a position to be this good now because they would’ve gone non-league at some point during the post KG years

By my general view that only one sports team that I like can have good vibes at one time Spurs getting relegated means that the Timberwolves are going to win the NBA title

I watched a bit of this on CSPAN3 in the (sadly wrong) hope that something very funny would happen, and the last comment was a guy who is some cop contractor chud from Portland congratulating her on the quiet professionalism of DHS officers in the face of "extreme violence" and wow that's bleak

As I increasingly come to terms with being an aging dad with ADHD, I believe ever more strongly in "it's good when shows get canceled too early"

One of the (many!) joys of being an immigration lawyer these days is that every USCIS office waiting room has one of her propaganda videos playing on loop (except KC, which amazingly had a Rick Steves episode last August), wonder if they'll just crudely splice in Markwayne with AI

It makes me think about the early chapters of Caro's Passage of Power, where the Kennedy brothers constantly mocked LBJ as a dumb hick, except in that case they were wrong.

At least they got the order right, Waynemark sounds like Batman is starting a pyramid scheme
