Remember when Elon Musk asked why planes don’t just fly in a straight line over maps, as if he was the first person who’d ever had that idea?

I firmly believe he’s only still alive because of the constant efforts of a whole team of people dedicated to keeping him alive.

Counterpoint: I think “not enough shame” is the problem.

John Fetterman Says Iran Girls’ School Strike Is Just a Leftist Craze The Pennsylvania senator dismissed the demand for further investigation as “moot.”

In fairness, I can remember a time when John Fetterman was a leftist craze, and man alive, did that ever turn out to be a massive disappointment. newrepublic.com/post/207677/...

Every DOGE deposition is the guy in your college class that made everyone else groan whenever he started talking.

There’s a small but significant group of loudmouths from back in the day who you just assume aren’t still around because didn’t Jon Stewart kill them?

As a man of a certain age, I get a kick out of people like Jim Cramer coming back out of the woodwork to prove they’re still a loud idiot. It’s like finding out there’s a new Rapture album.

I usually forget that can’t use DMs on BlueSky when I’m in the UK. Certain features on the app are blocked here for people who haven’t verified their age. I don’t have much interest in doing that for these short stays, so it can wait until I get back.

Willi One Blood - Whiney, Whiney (What Really Drives Me Crazy) YouTube video by Fuzzy Legends Archives

Willi One Blood is a reggae singer best known for a song on the “Dumb and Dumber” soundtrack. The video combines clips from the film with the weird realization that he’s also the guy from “The Professional.” youtu.be/LHQFb3PVLoE

I’m grateful today for the sounds of distant lawnmowers, grateful for an easy-going Thursday schedule, and grateful for time today to catch up on the little things. #3Gratitudes

This sets a precedent by which the Pentagon can also bar journalists who publish quotes from Hegseth that “make him sound like a deranged asshole.”

The “Trump shoes” thing has been fun, but I feel like we’re approaching a point at which Tarantino himself would say “Maybe that’s enough pictures of feet on the timeline.”

Whe I heard the news this morning, my first thought was that this was at least a floor crossing that couldn’t be taken as an indictment of Poilievre’s leadership or lack thereof. And if he had simply not issued a statement (well, tweet) like this, that’s how it might have played out.

I’m grateful today for an adventure in town with my youngest, grateful for terrible music that makes my kids laugh, and grateful for long-lost socks. #3Gratitudes

So I guess we’re going to have to have a talk about that.

“Are we friends?” my youngest asked their cousin over video games.

“We’re cousins,” he said.

“Yeah, but cousins can be friends.”

“That’s true. We’re friendly.“

They played on in silence, happy with this new agreement.

“Except in America,” my youngest mused, “where your cousin is your wife.”

It’s certainly true that whenever these guys talk about strength and freedom and bravery or whatever, we can all say “Yeah, but you cowards were all too afraid to wear your own shoes.”

Couldn't believe no one had picked NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD in almost 11 years of the podcast, but maybe it was waiting for Jon all along. Don't miss this episode.
