Trump has definitely forgotten he did this
Reminder: Troops are still deployed in the nation’s capital under the Trump administration’s direction. As they have been since August.

I’m trying to give myself something to look forward to every week. This week it’s been playing at the MtG Lorwyn prerelease with my son.

The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda.

Only 57 Democrats voted NO.

This is the right response. I’ve taken to saying “holy shit, that’s fucked up” whenever I hear stuff like this.
My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left.

See? We just need to talk to each other.

This is monumentally stupid. QR code requires you to provoke an interaction, instead of just reading the name and agency in huge letters off a sports jersey. You must bring your phone to be confiscated. And if a chud gets caught on film doing something wrong they can change their identity.
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

I’m trying to find at least one thing to look forward to every week. Last week it was “Cabaret” on the west end. This was so good! We were really close to the stage and everyone on it had so much charisma.

There was a NASCAR driver named Dick Trickle and we all just pretended this was normal.

A real Good Samaritan
One act of kindness that befell Leeds writer Bernard Hare in 1982 changed him profoundly. Here he tells his story.

A guy in the bar thought I was Jim Gaffigan. Now that I think of it and look closely at him, he seems like my doppelgänger.

"I could have been someone", well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me when I first found you
I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you.

How did a person even write this? I almost can’t believe it.

Remember when you hated some foods as a kid, and you love them now? Tomatoes, broccoli?

And you aren't really sure if you're right now or you were right then?

Anyway, as a kid I couldn't stand to listen to some voices. Geddy Lee, Chrissy Hynde. And now I just adore them.

I'm making beef bourguignon for dinner. A pretty nice bottle of wine for cooking = $14. Two pounds of round steak = $20. 12 shallots at $2 each = $24! Those shallots better be good.

I'm booking the pantos for this year, and it turns out they're going to be Aladdin in Truro and Aladdin in St. Albans.

Here’s a stadium beer story: I went to a game at Yankee Stadium with my brother-in-law, probably 2007. He got the first round and came back with a couple of Heinekens, and said “these were $8 each, can you believe it?!” I did the math and figured 40 Danish kroner, half what you’d pay in Denmark.
I would like to thank stadiums for charging high beer prices for the sole purpose of *checks notes* causing people to be less rowdy at sports events. Bless you.

MapBlast had line drive directions. Better than everything that came after.

Print those out and you were good to go.
welcome to bluesky. if the word "mapquest" means anything to you and/or you used it as a verb, you're in the right place

I’m potentially stranded overseas. If I am I’ll have to try to get pet food shipped to the kennel because I only sent enough….
So, I'm flying home on Saturday. Just got an email from Delta saying that the administration is demanding that they cancel 10% of their flights and ... they're figuring it out. Might be cancelled, might not. Hard to know.

Comforting.

A great song lyric is from Dylan’s “Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again”:

“Your debutante just knows what you need, but I know what you want”.

I thought of that the other day.

I used to get so bored out in right field that I’d squat down to pick the grass. Eventually my dad or one of the coaches would notice and yell at me.

But this guy gets it.
outfielders have to be the worst farmers i've ever seen. what are you doing out there? get to work
