Hi, @harvilla.bsky.social, we were encouraged to hold you to an 8/5 show return by, well… you. I opted for a 1-week grace period, but can’t help but notice that there was still no show today. Did a St. Swithun’s Day celebration get too crazy last month? When does the best music podcast return?

Loving the lengthy detour into Ted Leo on the new 60 songs by @harvilla.bsky.social One of the best shows I saw in the 00s was Ted Leo @ Magic Stick in Detroit. It was coincidentally the same night that Malice at the Palace happened. Was wild to have that on the screens and Pharmacists on stage.

Listening to the new 60 songs - 2000s and there is, once again, a shared music experience to @harvilla.bsky.social Today’s is a St. Andy’s shout out. Legit, one of my all-time favorite venues. In my record store employee era, I managed to catch the White Stripes and Weezer there. Glorious!

My 9yo has been working it into songs. Yes he’s been influenced by his xennial mom. “open up my eager eyes, cause I’m chicken jock-kay,” or “1-2-3-4 take the elevator cause the chicken jockeys coming up to getcha” No popcorn was thrown in the making of this post.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

On a rewatch of The Good Place, I recently noticed this quote by Michael. I think there is no fundamental difference between The Good Place Committee and Democratic leadership at this point.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Ok #Severance fans. Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald?! I have theories: • Outie • Unintentional breakthrough • Another reintegrated • They heard this song in wellness or as a big reward. Because it was the only outie music they ever heard, they committed the melody to memory, forever changed.

“…before I did the show, Dan Erickson wrote me a whole backstory — where I came from and why I did what I did. Whether you’re playing your Innie or your Outie, there are things that bleed through…” Excellent interview with one of the greats. Happy new Severance day! www.vulture.com/article/seve...

Fun fact I learned from @celebitchy.bsky.social today: Kendrick’s (effing amazing) jeans are by Celine and are sold out. Fun fact I learned Sunday: that halftime show will live in my brain for the remainder of my lifetime. It was a masterpiece for the moment it was in.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time. No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient. www.propublica.org/article/the-...

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates

Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

Was asked by my daughter what my favorite song was at her age which led to me introducing her to the magic of En Vogue and learning that I still have the choreo to the “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” video firmly embedded in my head. And she thought “Free Your Mind” slapped.

Completed phase 1 of a bathroom instead of consuming inauguration coverage the last 2 days. There was demo, painting, flooring and a new toilet install, but it also involved zero nazi salutes, so it feels like the better choice.

Highly important bun update: the second batch of burger buns is done and actually came out looking like buns. Now I am mentally prepared to watch the Lions game.

Gone are the deformed buns from earlier today. These are round, golden brown, perfect buns and we love them.

Kelly @backtokc.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

So, I’m attempting to make hamburger buns today. Attempt 1 was a recipe that didn’t have a second rise period and I thought it was weird but went with it? The outcome was these unfortunate looking monsters. A new batch with a new recipe that includes two rise periods is underway

Unfortunate looking unholy hybrid of hamburger buns and pancakes, maybe?
