This will only be meaningful to one person who reads it, but don't worry, the rest of you didn't miss anything.

Today for #MusicAdvent I was tied whether to give you Amber Papini's vocals (Hospitality) or Erika Wennerstrom's very different ones (Heartless Bastards) ... and while I wasn't looking, Hiromi Uehara snuck across the goal line.

The thing I try to explain the most to those who don’t live here is that the Nuzzis of the world live in Washington (the place that deserves your ire) and the rest of us live in D.C., a collection of diverse, mostly quiet, walkable residential neighborhoods with no federal representation
I live in DC. You think “official Washington” didn’t care what Trump administration 2 was likely to do?
Talk to someone who works at NIH. Or State. Or CFPB. Or DOJ. They all knew what was at stake. They were all scared + furious.
And reporters like Nuzzi saw none of it because they didn’t care.

@nonelvis.com solved this problem by changing to Fluevog shoes, which immediately gave her an even more expensive problem
In honor of the recent arrival of this year's Doc Martens boots (on the right, rows 2 and 3), I figured it was time for a new family portrait.
Yes, I may have a problem.

I'm pushing sixty so I've lived through the greatest punctuated-evolution of technology in human history, so there's a lot of these, but my favorite:
I am probably the youngest remaining person who knows how to work with punch-card decks in computing. I learned this 1960s tech in the late 1980s.

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

Making the butter-washed bourbon for Thanskgiving left me with roughly half a pound of brown butter, so half of that got used today in one of my fave cookie recipes. This one never misses, and I really hope that hint of bourbon comes through: www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/joys...
Joy's Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pecans
These brown butter chocolate chip cookies are crunchy around the edges, moist in the middle, and wonderfully flavorful all the way through.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe includes a calendar that goes all the way to the year 3000. Ironically, this reaches much further than typical modern computer and smartphone calendars. As such, even now Super Mario Bros. Deluxe remains a good option to keep track of far future dates.
