I don’t know that we can ever bow down enough to Jennifer Tilly, but I am always glad that she reminds us that we should.

Our three year old just shouted “BANANA!” Followed by “why is him top all green?” So I am trying to explain ripening right now.

We had a Clumber Spaniel growing up. The activity level described it apt, save for when people food was available. Went to answer the doorbell one time to greet a new baby to the family, and found our dog with all fours on the kitchen table enjoying our pizza dinner.

Popcorn is a fun flick with William Castle style gimmicks throughout, Jill Schoelen leads a fun cast, and a great Tom Villard performance.

I would like to introduce Indiana Bones to Indiana Bones. My In-laws rescued her about 5 years ago. She is a Doctor of barkeology.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

Very Bob Mould-esque, and that is a high compliment. Is their other stuff at all similar or is this a new sound for them?

I was going fully secular, and the implications of celebrating the birth Tunip redeemer who died for Octonaut sins gets even murkier

We are a big Octonauts family, does this mean Santa is amphibious? When they do the Creature Report, will they show live action Santa?

Totally different character. Lobo has hair that goes down and is black. BloodWulf has red hair and it goes up. Totally different things. As clear as Vanilla Ice explaining why he didn’t steal Under Pressure. It’s the extra da-da-ding-ding. Totally different.

A few weeks out until I see them with some of the greatest friends a guy could have, and I could not be more excited. I hope to hear “Hoover Dam” more than anything, but when Bob Mould played Copper Blue solo it was faster than the album by a lot, just smoked everyone.

But I love that I was in the same head space as Katie, thinking something of geopolitical import had happened, and I couldn’t find anything in my news feed. Love these head fakes, like when someone like Kai Ryssdal just posts “JFC” and I am wondering in response to what!

And the film “Elephant Parts” is so prototypical of where Mike was headed, had some great Nesmith solo songs, and some of the goofiest, silliest comedy anywhere.
