If it makes you feel better I only learned about it in Spanish class (because in Spanish every verb changes in the subjunctive, whereas English has just a few weird ones)

Yep, subjunctive. Just like "If I were king, there'd be some changes made."

FWIW the electric vibe in the stadium is absolutely coming through in the broadcast. Easily the most compelling on-screen environment I've seen this season.

I can’t believe we used to have airlines specifically for trans and pan americans. this country has really regressed on queer rights.

Saw a toddler-sized cybertruck in a neighbor's garage and my first thought was man that's bleak but then I realized no, *this* is the version of it that actually makes perfect sense. Should be way more popular than the real thing tbh

"My opponent wants to hire creeps to inspect your daughter's genitals if she wants to play soccer. I wouldn't trust him or any hired weirdo from his pedophile-protecting party alone in a room with any kid." Go on the offensive, you cowards! It's not that hard!

Our 4yo boy loves dancing and keeping that alive is like one of my top 10 goals as a parent. Partly because it's a tangible embodiment of so many other goals. Every time he invents some crazy new dance in the car and asks "do you like my moves??" the answer is always always yes.

I think going on Fox News at all was probably a mistake, but you give the "correct" answer to those questions in that interview and that could easily be a "hell yes we're taking your AR-15s" moment. Let Buttigieg educate Fox viewers, Talarico's in it to win it.

Andrew Grizzle @drewgriz.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Not to belabor this metaphor, but when I first saw the headline of Talaricos trans comments, I thought it was a turnover on a needless throw, but after watching the whole video I think it's more like eating the ball and taking a sack on a broken play. Not great, but could have been much worse.

I support a Manhattan Project-type push because we're gonna need large scale CO2 removal. But imagine the allies deciding in 1940 that they didn't need to fight the Nazis with tanks/troops/etc. because any day now the Manhattan Project would develop an atomic bomb and they could just fight with that

Night eyes 😎 Finally got proper pictures of this amazing phenomenon! Mantises change their eye color (and light sensitivity) at night by transporting pigments from the surface of each compound eye unit toward the deeper eye region. Same female Tenodera sinensis, two different times. #bugsky

This may be a way to cope with the fact that I've kinda tried and failed to get earnestly excited about the guy. He's not a generational political talent. He's not staking out any new territory. But I think he just might be the man for the job in this moment.

Andrew Grizzle @drewgriz.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Any other year against any other opponent in Texas, you kinda need your Dem candidate to take big chances to have any chance at victory. This year, we need someone with the discipline to run the dang ball, and Talarico seems like exactly the right guy to do it.

Andrew Grizzle @drewgriz.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

In this environment, you don't necessarily need to make big throws down the field. You have to execute the fundamentals, not turn over the ball, and take what the defense gives you. They miss assignments, get out of position, or overcommit to the wrong fake, and suddenly you're 20 yards downfield.

Andrew Grizzle @drewgriz.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Against a "normal" opponent, in a "normal" political environment, he probably loses this race pretty badly. But he's got the most favorable national environment in a generation, and an opponent designed in a lab for maximum vulnerability to easy attacks.

Andrew Grizzle @drewgriz.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Sure, he's got a novel pitch, running an unapologetically progressive, unapologetically faith-based, Democratic campaign for a statewide office in Texas. But outside of the basic premise, he has taken basically zero big swings.

Andrew Grizzle @drewgriz.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

New theory: the Talarico campaign is a wishbone triple-option offense, run with unremarkable athletes but incredible discipline, and so far it's working.

I was in my mid-20s when a friend mentioned that the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry, and I attempted to *CORRECT* him: "don't you mean AW-ree?" and that's when I realized I had been reading that word wrong (and apparently not knowing how "uh-RYE" was spelled) for years.

I always forget about the best part of the Magic School Bus series, the segment at the end where someone "calls in" and spends like 2 minutes pointing out all the plot holes and errors in the episode and a customer service rep explains the compromises they had to make for a half-hour of television.

This is exactly why I do subs for live-action, dubs for animation. Another argument in favor of subs for live-action is that (IME) the mismatch between sound and mouth movements is just as distracting as reading subtitles. Not a problem for animation.

It's been another great season for HEB branded stone fruit. I think the Sugar Burst plumcots are the clubhouse leader so far in a competitive field, narrowly beating out the Fireglows. The branded melons, ,meanwhile, have not in my experience lived up to the (high) standard set last summer.

It's honestly crazy how well it holds up in 2026. Also pretty amazing how well it works as a movie for a young kid who is basically just laughing when his parents laugh. It's got songs, dancing, flashy costumes, horses, some very cartoonish violence, and even something resembling a moral!

AFAIK without some family history or other condition most insurance won't cover it before 40. Luckily(?) my older brother had one that found stuff just barely worrying enough to justify my getting one at 35 (found nothing of note, but still good to know that).

I'm nearing the end of the audiobook of Lonesome Dove and one of my favorite parts is how well McMurtry writes dumb characters. Manages to quickly get to the root of their confusion and show how their conclusions are at least internally rational, even as the reader clearly sees they're wrong.

What's interesting to me -- not about the article, which, being by David Frum, I see no reason to trouble myself with -- is that many of the Never-Trump civilians who came over have basically reconciled themselves to Democratic positions. It's the Never Trump pundits that demand the party change

Like the whole issue with these non-market water rights is that they are being used for low-value production. Surely other users or government could afford to pay the farmers more than the value of the alfalfa they're irrigating with scarce water, no? Unless they're non-transferable or something.

Andrew Grizzle @drewgriz.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

You seem knowledgeable about this so maybe you can answer: even if these water rights are property rights, can't they still be sold or taken (and compensated for) through eminent domain?

I'm sure plenty of states have a category something like this could fit into, but I think it would take some kind of federal harmonization to create consistent definitions across a big enough market to make it worth targeting.
