tonight New Yorkers have rejected the candidate most likely to believe the ninja turtles are real and active (Eric Adams) AND the candidate most likely to claim he beat one to a pulp in 1988 (Curtis Sliwa)

Also God give me the confidence of a white man driving an Uber, listening to conservative talk radio, wanting to strike up a conversation about how bad socialists are, and being absolutely convinced that "Panera" on his driving app is actually a misspelling of "Turano" for over 5 minutes

In an uber and the driver is listening to Jesse Waters etc on Fox News Radio. The copium is off the charts.

This is an unabashedly pro TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS account. I heard it before I was aware that public opinion says that I should hate it, and while there are certainly parts that sag, the total experience still strikes me as an absolute triumph.

A super deluxe boxset of TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS comes out next year, and while I probably won't buy it for now (life requires me to mind my spending right now) I'm glad we live in a world where public opinion allows such a release to exist.

Unrelated to any politics there's gotta be a non-zero chance at this point that Josh Giddey is gonna be the NBA Most Improved Player. I know we're only a few games in, and I know it's blasphemy, but he's maybe kinda sorta looking like he might be turning into Steve Nash

Now that Clayton Kershaw's career is over, I feel less sheepish admitting that, every time I've ever watched him pitch, his full wind up has always registered in my brain as a balk in progress. It's broken my brain for 20 years.

It's funny how much of being a small business owner is things like taking a leisurely shower on Sunday morning and suddenly realizing "Oh damn it I never sent the $25 gift card to our most recent employee of the month, I'd better do that before I forget."

"I've never had good turkey" is now just a few steps removed from "I've never known a woman who enjoys sex" in terms of statements from men that will make me raise an eyebrow in a judging manner.

I don't think of myself as a good cook or anything, but I've made turkey for Thanksgiving a few times, and every time it's been moist and fucking delicious. You just have to spend a few minutes creating a flavorful butter spread and then put some care into re-basting it periodically. That's it.

Inspired by this, I have created what might be the meme with the narrowest appeal in the world, limited only to me and @pamaddox.bsky.social

A crying Wojak laments: "Giant for a Day is bad! Gentle Giant should only play prog!"
A bearded Chad replies: "Rock climber. Good timer."

Just stop clicking on this shit, I'm serious. People re-heat these "one weird trick so Trump can run again" stories bc people will skip over actual news to read them.

this is paywalled, but I suppose this is the moronic “he could be elected vice president and then the president could resign” theory. I am mad at every lib law professor who has entertained this Rube-Goldberg bullshit

Trends come and go, plantar fasciitis and JEFF WAYNE'S MUSICAL VERSION OF THE WAR OF THE WORLDS are forever.

Well into the season of life where I don’t keep up with pop culture, and it’s great.

You don’t need to get annoyed that The Kids like different stuff. Are Addison Rae and Tate McRae different people? Who cares! There’s jazz to listen to and you have plantar fasciitis.
