It is very rude to take a day off and have your body wake up sick.

Also, as someone whose family were LITERALLY bricklayers...it's a great way to have a broken body in your 50s and/or addiction to pain medicine. 🤷‍♀️ I think it's why my grandfather gave me a dollar for every A I got on my report card when I was growing up.

Where's Weird Al to advise you on accordion purchases when you need him? Because, seriously, I am in need of accordion advisement for the elder child.

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace. It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

Pazzo's.
A gray building with blue awning and umbrella tables and a white "Pazzo's" sign th above the entrance. Just looking at it, you can smell the $1.99 pizza and drink combo that got you through the hell of of weekly grad school seminar discussion. You can faintly hear hatred for Louisville in the background.

A good reminder that at any time you start to think a little too fondly of GWB in the current climate, just remember who appointed this (among many other horrible actions).

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

I regret that we had so many people in my fantasy league that I had to go with the Patriots for my defense, and now I am stuck urging them on for a shutout. Gross.

Dolly Parton supported a fight against a drag ban in Texas and the ban was ruled unconstitutional this morning.

My kids benefitted from this program, just like every other child in our Title I county in East Tennessee. I knew her as a great singer first, my kids knew her as the Book Lady. I thanked her in passing once as the Book Lady once in Dollywood, and her face lit up as she waved to me and my kids.

I gotta tell y'all, you let them them celebrate their grandaddies who wanted to tear down the republic to enslave our brothers and sisters. Too many official Confederate Days, too many clebrating "all who served." What did you expect? Damnatio memoriae should have been how we treated it all.

With 100° temps a new norm, Republicans are trying to stop all federal heat safety protection regs, now or in the future. HR 6213 prohibits OSHA from creating or enforcing ANY national heat safety standard. We MUST stop it! act.seiu.org/a/fedheatreg... #WeFeedYou

In the Renaissance people theorized, since the Aeneid is great, if you wrote poems made only of words & phrases from the Aeneid rearranged they should be great too, since a great source regurgitated should yield greatness. They produced NOTHING we still read. Thinking about that a lot lately.

You ever think about how those old 1950s westerns were set in the 1880s, and if we were to do that today, we'd have a big boom in movies set in the 1950s? Anyways. I'm sitting in the hospital waiting room.

Honestly, you could re-cast the Odyssey as a comedy - it's basically Odysseus pratfalling his way around various Mediterranean islands, getting laid, stealing shit & picking fights while winking at the camera. This why O Brother, Where Art Thou? is the most accurate film depiction of the story.

By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”

the weirdest thing about American sports culture is this absolutely batshit belief that fans and media seem to have that a famous player missing both arms and a leg is more useful to a sports team on the field than a not famous player who is match fit, it's just faith healing applied to sports

Listen, I first got into soccer in '99 when the women's team ran ads on TV telling Clinton to be ready to invite them to the White House...and that Mia Hamm wanted the Lincoln bedroom. For a girl raised on Pat Summit basketball, that type of confidence was like a drug.
