It's the next new show we're going to start, but at the moment it's competing with 1. Christmas movies/ shows and 2. Being busy because of the holidays.

My work trying really hard to get us to use stupid AI coding assistants is annoying enough, but "ask ChatGPT how it can help you do your job" is insanity.

I assume that's why there's also so many self storage places.

Like, when my wife runs out of reality TV to have on while she's writing, she just switches to YouTube cooking videos until more is available.

My theory is sometimes people are tired and want background entertainment while they scroll, but there's so much of that available. Nobody is subscribing to an app specifically for that. It's the prestige stuff that gets all the press and brings in all the subscribers.

Do they have the Grossology books? I was obsessed with those as a kid.

So many weird things going on in there. I'm going to have to stare at that building next time I go to Dressel's.

I’ve forgotten this sometimes but being able to discover something you like, curate it, and make time to enjoy it *is* intelligence, connecting with art is intelligence, empathy is intelligence, the way of the dullard is to find nothing meaningful in art except for a way to seem snidely clever

The production last year at The Muny in St Louis was pretty great, but this new one sounds like a mess.

Also, as fans of Meet Me in St Louis, you got 2 seconds into The Trolley Song and we both said "she played the wrong song." Same when you played The Boy Next Door. Great podcast episode 10/10 we loved it.

It's like how people in rural Missouri say "Missourah," but nobody from St Louis or Kansas City would be caught dead saying that.

The newest one, I didn't know who was behind it until it was revealed. I was pretty sure I knew what was going on, and I had half of that right, but they tricked me on the important things and the details were really fun to learn.

I just released a standup album. Available on all the audio streaming platforms. Also, my wife just released a Christmas romance novel. It's on Kindle Unlimited and Amazon.

He's tried to bring up politics a couple times since, and my cousin's wife immediately stopped him with "Patty make you leave. She's not kidding."

One time my MAGA uncle started saying something racist, and my mom (Catholic, but liberal Dem) hit him with a "we will not be talking politics on the holidays and that's officially a rule at my house." Now we only have to worry about him being loudly pessimistic about every sports team in Missouri.

Adding insult to injury, they gave out parking tickets anyway. This might seem nitpicky, but stuff like this doesn't instill confidence she'd have handled last year's storm any better. Especially on top of giving up on recycling in the alleys and cancelling a voter approved Metrolink expansion.
