Been watching the 1983 Mansfield Park and it's quite a bit better than I remembered, which is some consolation for the way that every subsequent adaptation hates the book and its main character

Cameo appearance from my poor Buick Roadmaster... someday I'll have a garage again, car, I'm sorry
This is Santa Claus. I've been working hard this year with Fangamer, who specialize in crafting gifts. I now run their shipping department and I please ask you to get your orders in before the deadline. We're planning to bring many smiles to your faces this holiday season. Please look forward to it.

Mansfield Park is so good. Jane Austen playing on the highest difficulty setting and writing a novel that asks "What if it's kind of bad under certain circumstances to be a charming Jane Austen protagonist"

Probably not extremely likely that I'll see the Smoking Popes live again now that I live in Arizona and not Illinois, but the possibility that they'll play Racine if I do—now that it's on a Popes album—means I might have to take emergency measures www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOgZ...
Smoking Popes - Racine - LIve at Rec Room in Buffalo, NY on 5/23/25

They're playing "A Little Bit of Love" at this Lowe's. Not a Weezer single I expected to ever hear in public

S&S: 1995 is a very good movie but aging Elinor up really changes the story
P&P: 1995 ✓
Mansfield: 1983 is the only adaptation that doesn't hate Fanny Price
Emma: 2009 ✓
Northanger: Haven't watched the 2007 yet. 1987 looks great but is nuts
Persuasion: 1995 ✓

I asked my students what the save icon was and they said a skeuomorph
A lot of this bait has been passed around long enough that we should now be getting second-order posts like "I asked my students what the save icon was and they guessed that it was a picture of the picture people used to post about not knowing what it was"

At the mall playground eating a soft pretzel and reading about the Chrysler Turbine Car while the kids play. Not an exaggeration when I say I've heard roughly 15 6-7s per minute while we've been here

Tweets positing that the giant Home Alone house in a beautiful Chicagoland neighborhood probably used to cost $100,000 have given us a festive Christmas version of the "The Simpsons own a home in Springfield on one income" tweet. I don't know why all of these have to be about Illinois

This morning, when I was getting Nancy ready for school, she told me she wanted all of us to act in a Fibber McGee & Molly play. (I put an episode on her Tonie. If you do not know what a Tonie is... huge kindergarten sensation, cross between an Amiibo and a CD player.)

Martin Chuzzlewit can definitely be identified as the Dickens novel that would get heavily retooled after Season 1 while you're reading it. Pacing is weird, feels like he realizes he hasn't given you a main character to like, doesn't have his arms all the way around the plot, etc

Honestly I'm not going to listen to this but I bet it's just that nobody told him it turns into a real medicine when you take four of them at once. Changed my life when a dentist prescribed me "Ibuprofen 800" after an emergency wisdom tooth demolition
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

Whenever I'm at a restaurant with Pepsi products I get confused by their diet cola lineup. Frankly I think they're expecting too much out of the median coke-drinking American on this front
