Unlike other bits, this one's a lifetime appointment.
He is, however, the King of Autumn. Mr. Autumn Man, if you will. A far more curious post!
Well, there's no arguing with the numbers, so I must concede: I was never the mayor of New York. My first name ends in a "k."

Wendy's new Almond Pimento Burger _really_ doesn't photograph well, but this week's Chair Company looks just fine.
You can’t have a conspiracy thriller without the conspiracy theorist, and The Chair Company has a doozy in Ron Trosper.

Cable-less, digital antenna in another location, I'm keeping up with game 7 just as Abner Doubleday intended: Refreshing Bluesky and then flipping over to the MLB app to decode everyone's reactions.

My mom bought me the Mr. Autumn Man T-shirt last month, and I'm still grappling with whether or not it's gauche to wear it in public.
You obsessively re-post Mr. Autumn Man because you like roasting friends in sweaters; I obsessively re-post Mr. Autumn man because I really, really miss working with @erikadams.bsky.social. We are not the same.

NEW: Inside the Trump Administration's Bluesky Invasion
Spoke with some administration officials who said the move was about "reaching new audiences." It's amounted to trench warfare.

It's incredibly funny that Ron's lie about looking under his co-workers' cars involves a Hershey's Hug. Not a Hershey's Kiss, but rather its deeply '90s, wrapped-in-white-chocolate sister candy. The Chair Company's joke writing is on another level.

After the end of Righteous Gemstones, it's good to have a quotable comedy on Sunday nights again.
