Ordered a veal and pasta dish at a nice Italian restaurant this evening, and I had to ignore the voice in my head telling me to refer to it as "the baby guts"

"But we can't market this, it's a story about two teenage girls in the 90s from the Philippines" oh my goodness will you just shut up, the variety of animation styles in this movie was jaw dropping and the story was really good

My kids had me go to the new-ish DreamWorks movie, "Forgotten Island," which I think I saw one trailer for months ago, and it was shockingly good??!! Way to go marketing people!!!

The trick is to not actually make it your 9 favorite albums. Instead make it 9 albums that are important to you and are tied together through a specific theme

Me: oh wow, this shop has everything my heart desires!

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I'm trying to tell you that I'm evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Me, also increasingly exasperated: I know what capitalism is too goddammit

California was a reddish-purple state until it wasn't. It would take a lot to flip it, but once it flips it would become very difficult to flip it back

Did we cancel D-Day because of a little rough weather? No. Play the damn game.

Every time Deshaun Watson comes up I remember that the media figure who I heard beat the drum loudest in the pre-draft run-up that Watson had impeccable character and was born to lead men was none other than Mike Lombardi

If NFL broadcasters are going to treat Deshaun Watson being ok at QB as a sign that he has been Redeemed For His Past, they must remain ideologically consistent. If he starts playing badly again they have to blame it on his failure to repent for his heinous sexual misconduct

After they had a pretty ok (relatively) 2nd half of 2025 I genuinely thought a reasonable goal for the Sox this year was to be competitive for a Wild Card spot into early September, but even I figured the best case scenario was like 78 wins. This whole season is found money.

It's hard to properly explain to somebody who doesn't follow baseball just how improbable it felt 2 years ago that the White Sox would win a playoff series in 2026. For my music friends, imagine if out of nowhere the next Yes album was good.

In my final conversation with my mother she told me she had no regrets about treating me like shit when I was younger because she believed that without her acting as she did I would have ended up homeless. It wasn't the only straw, but it was the final one.

every song written by a man can be grouped under one of two genres: 1) dying alone at sea 2) blowjobs: good all songs written by women are murder ballads hope this is clarifying
