I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

Hey, Peacock... Speaking as a Premiere League follower, I do want to see highlights from the Wolves match yesterday, but I don't think these are the ones.

I just finished Book 2 of Emily Wilson's ILIAD, and in the section where Homer listed EVERY. SINGLE. GREEK. WARRIOR. by region, I just pretended I was listening to a beloved elderly relative's five-year-old grandchild listing every evolution of each individual Pokemon.

It's rare that a pop song has terrific, insanely catchy music AND thoughtful, memorable lyrics, but also ideas I disagree with 100 percent. That's the Kinks' "God's Children" for you.

Whoo hoo!

Armchair lifer!

Thanks to the eBird split, all my Warbling Vireos are now Eastern Warbling Vireos except one: the Warbling Vireo I spotted in Idaho in 2013 is now the WESTERN Warbling Vireo!

And of course all my godparents, though unrelated, were granted family titles: Uncle Mike, Aunt Kay, and Uncle Charlie.

This week I've sat at the piano and confronted both Bill Evans' opening chord for Miles Davis's "So What" and Glenn Gould's opening chord for Bach's Cantata 54 and I kinda feel like the top of my musical head is being lifted off.

I figured I owed you that for making "sexy owl pellet" take up space in my head now.

And yes, I realized too late that the horns I'm throwing up are actually ASL for "I love you," but that's rock and roll.

This probably isn't the photo @rosemarymosco.com wants showing off her amazing BLOODCHEEP t-shirt design, but it's the one I've got.

I got up early, took my time, and finally got that fershlugginer Co-Pilot off my Word taskbar.

Great framing.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I've been to 14 (not counting airports). And what do Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Atlanta have to do to get some love?

The Pool Boys are giving the Gunners every opportunity to do just that. But yes, Palace is a lot of fun to watch this year.

I'm ducking in and out, but I saw that volley. I will *remember* that volley.

You watching ARSCP?

Every so often you rediscover something in your house--like the box of 100 individual packets that was the only form of sugar on the shelf that one time--and have a moment to recall the myriad ways the pandemic altered even the smallest details of your life.

(I've been working to TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS because a) I'm a sicko, and b) I don't get as many interruptions from Spotify ads if the songs are 20 minutes long.)
