I know a lot of people had a hard time pronouncing his name, but how in the world do you goof up spelling Neil Peart?

Just dropped off a donation to the SPC Food Pantry. If you'd like to help, either stop by Room LL567 with any non-perishable food items or you can donate online. SPC has set up an Amazon Wish List at www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I recently overheard a co-worker use the phrase "Formerly Known As Prince", so I asked him to clarify if he was talking about Rogers Nelson or Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

If you've got 1 and a half hours (long drive or whatever) I'd strongly recommend listening to this podcast. Geoffrey Hinton breaks down a lot of fundamentals of AI before getting into the implications it has (and will have) on various parts of society podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

I regret never seeing “Worlds Biggest Iceberg” live in concert. Wishing the individual members of the group good luck with their solo careers.

Sure, I’ll admit it. I do get some enjoyment from sharing my hobbies with family & friends, but how come I can’t tap into the intense, euphoric energy experienced by the people in commercials for Rinvoq, Tremfya & Skyrizi?

If you’re in the US Intelligence Service and want to have a super top secret discussion about recovering The Ark Of The Covenant, is it really a good idea to do talk about it in a large, open college lecture hall?

Dang it! If I knew I was going to take a personality test today, I would have studied. Hopefully the Thetans won’t lower my B+ to a C-.

The last few months, I've had a tough time staying positive & not getting cynical when reading/listening to current events. This interview with Pete Buttigieg was a tremendous breath of fresh air. It's over an hour long, so great listen if you have a long drive. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Great microbrewery, but once you notice their logo is Marge Simpson with a white headband, it’s hard to unsee.

Interesting bit of trivia. The initial working title of the fifth movie was “Harry Potter and The Order Of The Grande Dark Roast with No Cream Phoenix Coffee with A Blueberry Muffin” but they had a hard time fitting this on a theater marquee.

One of my favorite things about MPR and NPR is how they report the news. So many other news sources use headlines which elict strong emotional resources (recently heard the term is called Outrage Bait) while they keep it calm. Plus I really love "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me"! #WhyPublicRadio #MPR

How come the current administration has not imposed any tariffs whatsoever with the countries of Wakanda, Zumunda, Latveria and Parador? The trade imbalances with these places are even higher than the one the United States has with Narnia!

WARNING: Obscure Drummer Joke Ahead! The other day, I was listening to Tom Sawyer by Rush in my car and I started Air-Drumming when I got to a red light. Unfortunately, I broke one of my Air-Drumsticks and didn't have a replacement, so I immediate switched to Pyromania by Def Leppard.

Halfway through this book and really recommend it! The author has a PhD in Philosophy, so some of his writing can be a little "dense". Definitely one of those books you really have to concentrate on while reading.

Two of my favorite photos from Germany of the Sitzender Keiler (The Sitting Boar) statue in Munich at Marienplatz. The first is me with some friends in the summer of 1995 while the second is me with my son in the summer of 2024.
