Believe me when I tell you that literally all I want from my music is to know that it was made by a pair of bickering Mancunians who have spent their lives roasting each other. Can your stupid clanker call its brother "a man with a fork in a world of soup"? CAN IT??

Making the never-fail one-hour one-pan spaghetti and meatballs recipe from @americastestkitchen.com tonight, and the dish is ready to go into the oven but the oven isn't up to temp yet. That's how fast this recipe is. I love it so much.

I would like to register a formal complaint about the steep drop in quality from The Land Before Time (resonant, beautiful, scary in parts) to its 13 direct-to-video sequels, which are on YouTube and which my son has been watching as much as I will let him. Paw Patrol–ass dinosaur rubbish

I have reached the point in the doorstop book I'm reading about the Nuremberg trials where the Nazis have embraced, essentially, MAHA. The majority of doctors in Germany were Jewish, so the Nazis decided that all real medicine was a hoax and instead tried to cure tuberculosis with pendulums.

You read that right: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will, thanks to the approval of Trump's FCC, own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. One of many things to keep in mind when you cast your vote in the next six weeks.

Sean is really in a monster phase right now, and at the dentist this morning they were showing Beauty and the Beast. He took to the Beast instantly, so I played the rest of the movie for him tonight. He was so disappointed when his beloved Beast turned into that middling prince. Same, buddy, same.

One of Sean's favorite toys is a plastic alligator named Steve Miller (of the eponymous band, not the Nazi homunculus) who first came to me filled with grenadine and floating in a fish bowl full of liquor at Brother Jimmy's in Manhattan. Steve Miller is now devouring Sean's sock monkey.

It's really hot and muggy today, so Mom pulled out Sean's wading pool. And then she made a critical mistake: She handed him the hose to fill it up. So really, she had only herself to blame when he turned the hose on her.
