Context, we just culled the mugs a couple months ago and are near overflowing again. But anyone out there, with Starfleet Academy about to start you can’t go wrong with Adam and Ben making loving fun of new Trek on Greatest Trek. And you too might just win, for some reason, a mug for The Wire.

Odo tells Kira “I don’t use the bucket anymore.” I’ll leave it to the sickos to figure out what he means.

TMNT logo that says “Stephen Miller Only Mayo” I had previously put on up that said “Stephen Miller Mayo Only” but I deleted it because where your brain puts the comma could really make for some nightmare fuel.

I have kept this voicemail for years just for the transcript.
Transcript of a voicemail from a dentist. The auto transcription has mistakenly put down the dentist office’s name as Cocaine Family Dentistry.

Jeanine Wright is so adept at creating dumb quotes, I wonder if she isn’t AI slop herself.
Another Jeanine Wright quote: “We believe that in the near future half the people on the planet will be AI, and we are the company that’s bringing those people to life.”

I miss having rooftop BBQs. See! I’m not old yet! Now please excuse me while I just rest a bit…
Faculty Club Annex at Carleton College. Used to climb out onto the roof and grill with friends. Redbeard would warn us if someone was coming so we could get our shit inside before we got in trouble.

The spray off the lake was, unsurprisingly, cold. Never more aware that my kids were born in the PNW than when they complain that 62° is cold.
View of the shore of Lake Superior, with winds kicking up some hefty spray from the breakers.

Crazy windy in Duluth today.

Put up a swing for my younger kid and some asshole decided to cut two of the ropes on it.

I know some people just like breaking shit, but a fucking swing? They just wanted to make some kid sad today?
Two cut plastic ropes The connection point where a rope was cut Swing down!

I said elsewhere that Linehan is bizarrely willing to blow up his life over this. But also, this conceptualization of loyalty is bizarre. If you and I have been through the shit, even if you built my career, I wouldn’t join what I knew to be a hate group for you. Loyalty is not servitude.
Graham Linehan calling the main three from the Harry Potter movies “disloyal bags of shit.”

I like that SongKick makes it look like they’re offering me tickets to Bob Dylan’s doctor appointment.
A screen cap of an Apple that shows you concert dates. Visible are Kraftwerk, Sun, March 30th at the Orpheum Theater, Bob Dylan, Fri, April 4th at Mayo Clinic Health System, and Lissie Sat, April 5th at the Palace Theater. The app’s little square has cut Event Center from the name of the Vance Dylan is playing.
