Guy doing some work at my house had his wallet stolen. Left it sitting out in an unlocked van parked on the street. Says his wife told him Minneapolis has a crime problem, she heard it on the news

It’s that time of year again: roasted maple seeds from silver maple helicopters we collected off the sidewalk

About a cup of raw maple seeds. Squeezed out of the fat end of a helicopter (samara), they are dark green and shiny. About the size of a pumpkin seed but shorter and plumper

A pan of roasted maple seeds, now lighter green and speckled with brown

I really hope creative activities doesn’t blow up on social media like the horticulture building. I don’t want endless queues for cookie platters and quilts

Passed Elliott Smith walking down Cedar Ave on the West Bank before a performance. Made eye contact but was afraid to say anything. A friend later tracked him down at a bar (Red Sea, I think)

Is something going on with the catalpa trees? I’ve read they leaf out later than most other trees, but a bunch of the boulevard catalpas near my house are totally bare or only producing leaves on some branches

Catalpa tree with no leaves, just last year’s seed pods hanging from the branches. Bare canopy against blue sky

@jelvisweinstein.bsky.social on Test Show 399 Andy brought up John Mulaney’s Netflix talk show without mentioning the Jimmy Au’s remote John did one episode prior, during which the camera lingered on Andy’s autographed headshot. Is this growth? Happy anniversary, guys! #testshow400

One thing I don’t love about teams chat is the message to my editor promising a story will be in “soon” and the follow-up message confirming it has been filed are both timestamped (and roughly 50 minutes apart)

I can understand the logic of the brown gravy, but the traditional accompaniment for a pasty is half of bottle of ketchup. Every bite should be 30-50% ketchup. (Respect to the reviewer, who demonstrated a keen understanding of the carrot/rutabaga issue.)

Rewatched Lynch’s “Inland Empire” last year for the first time since watching it at Oak Street Cinema on its release. The whole second half is a nightmare, and it gives those creepy someone-is-in-the-room-with-you vibes as good as Bob climbing over the Palmer’s couch in Twin Peaks. Recommend

Ep. 8 of Twin Peaks season 3 — the one with the atomic bomb blast — remains the most astounding episode of a television show ever. RIP David Lynch
