I was very into her for about a year, starting in the summer of 2005, after I had just graduated from college! Whenever I hear any of those songs from the Felt Mountain, Black Cherry, and Supernature albums, it instantly takes me back to that first year out of school.

Oh, wow - that's absolutely awful. 😢 My condolences, friend - I hope your family can rely on each other right now.

So this is a routine occurrence?

Santa Dad 😂

I thought this was going in a totally different direction originally - wasn't anticipating the monetization of used undergarments curveball! 😂

I hear that! If I could go back to the early ‘00s, I’d tell my younger self to not get so enthralled with every new social media platform and not put so much of myself out for the world to see and consume.

Couldn’t be me because my takes are always the correct takes!

Would you like to see it grow larger or shrink to a smaller size? 🤔 👾

There’s also something kinda sorta related, the Bradley effect, where people just outright lie to pollsters about their opinions

Ooof - hopefully you managed to get back home quickly without any successful conversions! 😵‍💫

Only tangentially related but I get flabbergasted when I click a link to a news article while on a mobile device and the site will be running a banner on the top of the page, on the bottom of the page, and also a pop-up in the middle, leaving literally only two or three lines of copy even visible.

I don’t know why I busted out laughing when I saw this

What are you hoping to study after your transfer?

I suspect anything-influencer will by nature be self-promoting. 😕

Watching Pluribus on AppleTV - the concept is interesting but Carol is still pretty insufferable in Episode 3.

Twenty-inch super rat? And it flies??

Plus Taco Bell tacos and Baja Blast. 😅

188. Five Questions About "Extrajudicial Killings" There is no obvious legal argument to support President Trump's expanding campaign of strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. And the implications are even scarier.

The Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats are “blatantly unlawful as a matter of U.S. domestic law—and a quickly spreading stain on whatever is left of the executive branch’s commitment to the rule of law.”

Me on “extrajudicial killings” in the latest issue of “One First”:

I remember watching an episode of Pop-Up Video on VH1 about this special and the only thing I can concretely remember is that they figured out that Aretha Franklin made it an unspoken point to sing one octave higher and several decibels louder than anyone else on the stage

I absolutely am lucky! No one else would ever have the patience to put up with me!

When you’re the second one to crawl into bed and your bedroom is pitch black, your partner is sprawled out on your side, sweating on your pillow and drooling where your back is going to be laying for the rest of the night. 🥲

How long is that drive?

Not that I believe they’re even remotely qualified to throw their hat into the ring, but in fairness, Marjorie is probably looking around at the last 12 years and thinking, “What do I have to lose? I’m no less a viable candidate for the party’s nomination than any other politician or supporter.”

Not to rub salt into a wound, but by God can you expect them to raise their prices! 🤑

But no the ho in nacho?

Apropos of nothing, whenever I see an Instagram account whose Stories are displaying tiny little dots instead of one or two long dashes, I know I’m about to encounter something entirely unhinged.

I have one that's waterproof - but it's not like Boston is Seattle and raining all of the time

Can it even be considered abandoned when you’ve still never really even cracked it open past the first few pages?

I’ve had “Gravity’s Rainbow” sitting on my bedside nightstand for almost two years now… 😓
