I feel like everyone within earshot should just whisper “They are all laughing at you” in front of the president all the time. Better than shouting.

Does anyone else hear the bass line of Fugazi’s “Suggestion” from 1988 in the bass line of Hotel Ugly’s "The Ballad of Eddie Jabuley" from 2021? Or is it just me?

Every serious news organization should say “hottest day on record…so far” and end the report with “which is a result of human-caused climate change.”

I’m extremely disappointed with the lack of music in the new season of “The Lincoln Lawyer”. The first couple of seasons had a notable and enjoyable soundtrack.

Trump continuing to stump for coal is a great example of how out of touch he is with energy and energy markets.

We should be putting quotes around all government departments now as a matter of practice. Department of “Justice”. Department of “Energy”. Department of “Homeland Security”. Or to quote my favorite movie. “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

My 12yo understood the difference between correlation and causation. “Ice cream sales in beach towns is correlated with shark attacks”. She quoted this while overhearing my podcast on Tylenol and Autism. Is snark hereditary?

A recent interaction on this site reminded me of this: www.astronomynotes.com/bogus-scienc... While this was focused on physics, I believe this to be generally true for other disciplines.

Hot take: Term and age limits on legislators, judges and government executives. If you aren’t going to be around to deal with the consequences of your decisions you don’t get to decide.

Not to be reductive, but a simple litmus test is to ask: Will there be more or fewer hungry children as a result of this budget? Since the answer is more, I conclude this is a bad budget. Please try again.
