I turned the game on late, and I thought they were saying Kaley McManus (though in my head it was spelled Keighleigh).

Saw a post that said “third amendment” (talking about a resolution or proposed statute or something) and was pretty disappointed it wasn’t a quartering soldiers sitch.

I grew up in the 80s/90s, so I wasn’t around for the 70s run, but those were their songs that I grew up with. I think To Love Somebody got play on the oldies station, but I don’t remember even learning it was The Bee Gees until I was much older. And I may have mostly heard cover versions

Know what though? I just saw this reposted, clicked on to your profile to see what you were promoting, saw your guest list and listened to the snippet, and I’m intrigued. I’m gonna listen to some more when I get a chance. So it did work. Enjoy a break

I do not recommend that book. There’s much better stuff out there. I thought this was pretty slapdash, had some glaring errors, and never got past a very surface-level discussion of abolitionism. As you mention, it is one person’s story, but i don’t think it’s actually a good primer

I don’t know. It seems like we’ve seen that story enough. It was new when Good Will Hunting did it, but that was almost 30 years ago.

Currently have two work neighbors, Mitchell and Christuhfuh

I just looked that up. In one of the Reddit threads, a couple dudes mentioned working with him when he was spending time in Indiana. I had friends who did some tracks with him too. lol at why he was spending time in the Hoosier state.

My week mostly sucked, but I got to see Natural Information Society play a free show at the new Contemporary Art Museum. It was pretty rad.

By the way, Indiana Football is totally different. The NIL/transfer portal is such a radical change that it renders decades of Hoosier incompetence irrelevant, right? That’s convincing, right? Right? ?

The era of Clippers relevance is indeed an anomaly. It’s also remarkable when you compare it to the typical flashes of relevance the other dregs occasionally have (Nets and the Arizona Cardinals are the best analogs I know, I don’t know baseball or hockey well enough to say)

Started watching Lanterns, and it includes a lot of “Aaron Pierre traveling while looking cool complimentary),” which follows Rebel Ridge in doing that too.

Here is Wilson. He doesn’t really know how you’re supposed to use a bed, but he looks content.

The problem is that isn’t correct, or shouldn’t be. A singular that ends in an “s” gets “‘s”. The book that belongs to Adams is Adams’s book, otherwise, it is indistinguishable from a book owned collectively by multiple people named Adam. (I understand that both are accepted, but I don’t like it)

Good point. I think I’ve been sloppy with “libertarian,” which can be both a political philosophy and the Libertarian Party. Even the former might not be a good description, though I think he did at least have tendencies in that direction. He certainly didn’t seem like a Rawlsian

Also, they don’t have to worry about coming up with everything that happened in-world to the characters in the intervening years (or otherwise account for the aging the actors have done since then, or just ignore it like the Deadwood movie).

I feel very confident that he would have hated woke, but I also can’t picture him as MAGA. His libertarianism definitely focused more on social issues (as opposed to, say taxes or the welfare state), and it’s pretty hard to see how that would have evolved in the last 30+ years.

I heard him interviewed on a podcast about 10 years or so ago, and he is as weird as he seems and I would love to hear more of his ideas
