My dad and his pals used to do this but with wagons, as little kids and in Brooklyn. They'd drag them to Shore Road to burn.
Way more wholesome than my mom's dad and his friends using dead and bloated cart horses as trampolines which according to my mom's retelling was great til it wasn't.

My former boss once told me that back in the 40 in New York City, he and his friends would spot all the dead Xmas trees at the curb and would drop matches on them one after another.
"You never saw something burn so big and fast."
So yeah, water your festive buddy consistently.

This story was "lost" to me; I remembered nearly everything about it but couldn't for the life of me remember where or when I'd read it or who the author was.
I think bc it's late-period and was published in a sci-fi magazine; it was probably in a silver age collection. It's great.

The end of this whole damned thing might be The Midas Plague. Put them in the basement and ignore them.
googled something and clicked a link to a website I'd never heard of that looked like a forum, read the discussion and realized the person asking a question and all of the answers were all LLM generated, the entire website was a fake forum pretending to be people asking/answering questions

i am never mad at gelatin molds; they are absolutely the cubic zirconia of food. or one of them.
aspics and molds were, until industrialized gelatin production, a high-skill, difficult preparation which was exemplary at preserving cooked foods.
middle class cooks imitate the forms of the aspics...

I feel extremely strongly that any time in an airport that is not spent getting onto or off of an airplane is time I would rather spend somewhere else other than an airport.
If however you must do this I suggest rock climbing walls with outlets at the top. People love to charge stuff at the airport.

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

Man it was a school night and I was little. Thurman Munson? That I remember, I was in finast on 95th and 3rd and the manager announced it on the pa. I didn't know it but it was the last year I played baseball in the summers. Next year was the first beach year for us. No more city summers.
Monday Night Football tonight they played the tape of Cosell announcing John Lennon's murder during the game, December 9 1980. Anyone else remember that? Were you watching that game when Cosell announced it? Remember it very clearly.

I'm not a huge conspiracy inventor but I can't help wishing the Tarantino-Dano-Lillard thing is a huge work; they've already shot small but crucial roles in whatever he's doing next and it'll be hilarious when it drops. I know it's like sb-zero possiblity but it would be hilarious.

I'm named for my dad, who's named for his uncle Jim. His uncle Jim was amazing at playing the accordion and doing chin-ups. He got good them at after losing most use of his legs to polio. If uncle Jim were alive he'd never stop slapping these people. And it would hurt, what with his strong arms.
Today #RFKjr is walking back life saving vaccines. We used to understand what that meant. My article, below. 🧪🗃️
When Paul woke, he couldn’t move. A tent surrounded him, too foggy to see through. The humidity was supposed to help, but in the damp darkness he felt only fear. In a scene that predates the Matrix by 50 years, he was one kid in a sea of many, each in a metal pod and plugged in to machinery. #Polio

I mean what killed the station wagon was the minivan. I love a good wagon but a minivan was a million times better for my kids than wagons were for me growing up.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

This is not by any means the entire substance of my objections to them but it definitely starts there.

I'm choosing to shop where my children's identities and the lives of my friends and family aren't window dressing to be discarded when things get tough.
They were a slightly less awful Walmart. Now they're an equally awful Walmart.
Caping for big box retail isn't a good idea for your soul.

With pie season momentarily suspended it seemed like a good day for a lemon chiffon coffee crunch cake. My pal bought me a slice in echo park last time I was out west and I've learned how to come close enough to save airfare.

I've barely started and I've said this many times but the next time I host Thanksgiving it's pernil and go home if you don't like it. So many root vegetables. So much baking.

I'm respectful of the effort that went into Pluribus and I gave it four episodes.
If it's some kanamit thing it's cookbook time. But there is no nemesis right now but Carol imo. And A Misanthrope's Journey is not really my thing. I know not every protagonist is a hero but I'm really lost with her.
