i was just walking around earlier today and remembered: American Vandal! dick and poop jokes more insightful than nearly any “serious” True Crime show. Yogurt Shop performs similar genre criticism from a perspective of bottomless, meaningless devastation tenth place is Adult Swim Infomercials

top 4 (perfect) Deadwood, Americans, Review, Atlanta

don’t love finale: Leftovers

too short duration to match the others: American Vandal, Watchmen, Yogurt Shop Murders (a 4/5 ep miniseries really not a show)

helplessly confused about itself but, still top 10: Mad Men

Adult Swim gets #10 for the likes of Smart Pipe and Too Many Cooks

it’s near the end so maybe you didnt get that far “How could I spare myself the judgment I had meted out to others [who] sent their own children to schools that entrenched segregation? inequality doesn’t absolve us of our individual choices… I could not even sustain the cause within my own family”

a wrenching decision … i was going to let [my daughter] choose her own high school

she was admitted to a wealthy, gentrified neighborhood school … a beneficiary of the inequality that defined the city’s educational landscape.

How could I spare myself the judgment I had meted out to others when they justified why they — despite believing in integration — sent their own children to schools that entrenched segregation? Across the country, I’d lectured about how educational inequality is systemic, but that this fact did not absolve each of us of our individual choices. And in the end, I could not even sustain the cause within my own family.

june 29, 2014, the orioles are losing to tampa 12-4. tommy hunter enters to finish off the top of the 9th and gets three outs on three pitches. ryan flaherty hits a garbage time 3 run homer in the bottom of the 9th, final score 12-7.

one of the most fun play calls of the day was a screen pass to henry. gotta keep them worrying about that recipe being in the cookbook, that henry is still on the field even if he doesn’t get handed the ball right away. monken did not really throw to him; he had <20 catches in both ‘24 and ‘25

i dont get why the us open bracket has 1 vs 3 and 2 vs 4 in the semifinals instead of the traditional 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3

tonight’s women’s semifinal matches. sabalenka as the one seed i would have thought should be facing the four seed, gauff, but is facing the three seed instead, pegula.

idk if it’s smart to buy an evening ticket since you can’t enter before 6 pm and see any of the morning or midday matches, but the osaka and tien evening matches both went the distance… six hours of tennis

just brought in the paper this morning and there they were above the fold, naomi klein and astra taylor. first thought: “the times and the post wouldn’t”

i stopped in DC to see a movie a few weeks ago (first time in-district since the miller regime took over) and within minutes saw three guys walking down the street in full-body green camo outfits (really important to blend in with the rowhouses). distinct "i need to get the fuck outta here" vibes

you may not be able to see them because they blend in so well, but that's three national guardsmen protecting rhode island avenue

i’ve been getting several free calendars from charities that want a donation (how about save money by not sending me this?), but this is going too far. Imagine, Your 2027 Calendar: “Have you remembered the Holocaust today?”

the calendar photos are of very small museum items

the calendar “tells inspiring stories”. not the word i would use

i try to remain blissfully unaware of whatever shenanigans are transpiring in england, but i learned that there are competing Brian Coxes when i saw an ad that Not the Actor Brian Cox was doing an event in Baltimore. it seems to amount to “feature length TED talk with more sophisticated visuals”?

missed this from June. woman is deciding about plea bargain for assault charges, decides to reject the deal. so the ASA openly retaliates by seeking homicide charges. www.thebanner.com/community/cr...

woman allegedly attacked a man over being told to leave a parking spot, he later died. "charges of first and second degree assault, conspiracy to commit first degree assault and reckless endangerment" .. "when she rejected a proposed plea agreement, prosecutors announced they would pusure more severe charges against her as a result"
