This whole thread made me laugh a lot and I want other people to have a chance to laugh too.

Some men turn 80 and plant a tree knowing they’ll never sit in its shade. Others turn 80 and strip the orchard bare, cut all the trees down to sell the lumber, pocket the cash, and blame the hungry for not inheriting fruit.

The "na-na na-na boo-boo" melody is the most devastating sequence of music ever written. Eviscerating.

I know I'm coming across as a @playtyperguy.com fangirl, bc I've been sharing so many of his posts, but this gave me some much needed hope. Am currently rewatching the mid-aughts Battlestar Galactica and between that and this piece, it's a lot of "this has all happened before" in my brain this week.

I wrote about Nate Silver's bizarre screed about Heather Cox Richardson, who reminds me of the nice neighbor who notices that a package was left on your porch during a rainstorm and stores it for you. Silver compares her to the Tea Party. open.substack.com/pub/ser1897/...

No, Nate Silver, Heather Cox Richardson Is Nothing Like The Tea Party. What's Wrong With You?

I personally think it’s a winning political issue to side with trans people over those whose lives are so small they spend their time cruising a trans woman’s social media so they can post dehumanizing messages. www.playtyperguy.com/p/no-democra...

My mom and I are having dinner in a diner that is currently filled with 95% senior citizens and what comes on the Christmas music mix but “Fairytale of New York.” They didn’t skip it, but they definitely lowered the volume. 😆

I love that my teenage son, who got to take charge of decorating the Christmas tree, did this. 😂💕 (He even got the positions right; Seabiscuit had crossed over to the rail by the time they reached the stretch.)

My hot take, which I can't post on FB because all my musical theater friends will yell at me, so I shout it out into the void here, is that the reason "Chess" the musical has never really worked as a play is NOT the book; it's the songs. And I love the songs (duh, I'm GenX). But they're the problem.

“The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” is a moving memorial to those who died but it continues to be a wildly unsuccessful strip club song.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

I felt like today's news was an unkind tease from the Universe, but my spouse said maybe it's less a tease and more an amuse bouche.

Thanks for this, papawoof. Some days a person really needs the reminding and today is one of those days. :)

@andylevy.net Enjoyed hearing you on FastPolitics this week; not gonna lie, though, what I was left with after was an incredible dose of envy that you saw Asia at Forest Hills.

When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage. Novelists can end chapters with gradually shrinking type.

Mike Nichols: “I said, ‘You can’t play it. You can never play a loser.’ And Redford said, ‘What do you mean? Of course I can play a loser.’ And I said, ‘O.K., have you ever struck out with a girl?’ and he said, ‘What do you mean?’ And he wasn’t joking.” ("The Graduate," of course)
