Lately nominated “worst ref in hockey, ever”. Into hockey, cycling, and I bake a good loaf of bread from time to time. On a good day, I get to draw some network stuff.

Listen, Billy Batts refers to Tommy’s shine box. That’s just gangster speak for finding ones’s smile and charm so we can have a reset.

I go back and forth between beard and clean shaven at least once per year. Nice mixing it up.

I usually only keep a 'stache around for a few days when going full beard to clean shaven. The 70's cop mustache doesn't really work for me, and I've never had the discipline/fortitude to get a good handlebar thing going on.

The first I’ve heard of “Maritime Alaska”. Everyone here seems to delineate it up into SE and South Central.

This stinks much like the Ellie Rubenstein story. Crum was on the board of the Permanent Fund Corporation during this time, correct? alaskapublic.org/news/2024-07...

A statute may "enshrine a tradition," but that is not the only thing it does. A statute codifies law, just the same as statutes criminalizing homicide and bank robbery, and it is just as "clear" that violating the statute is unlawful.

I feel like I should seclude myself into my shop with a stack of these coins, melting them down and sculpting the pot metal into little fishes, and then repeat the process again and again, ad infinitum, a la Colonel Buendia.

If you can just find it in yourself the will to build another bubble, absconding people off the street and smashing windows on babies becomes ok
