Having a baby with a stomach virus is awful for everyone and everything that isn’t already stained. Also just casually planning my own drinks and meals based on what will be easier on the way back up.

Can’t indict a ham sandwich and now has beef with Rye. 🤭

Could’ve sworn Juan Jamón (Jon Hamm) was going to be there, and then I swear I saw Pedro Pascal instead.

Baby made a new friend today. Helps having a clover yard when there’s no green in the rest of the woods right now.

I lived in Barcelona in 2002, and Johann Mühlegg was kicked off the German cross country ski team and obtained Spanish citizenship to compete in Salt Lake City where he won gold but got disqualified for doping. Maybe the last time they were remotely interested in the winter games?

Watched Harlan County, U.S.A. tonight. I’d seen bits and pieces but not all of it. Absolutely wild that I was born 7 years after some of the events in there. One of the more visceral “oh right, America was fucking insane when we were kids” moments.

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

the bots on X flying fast with the "he pulled a gun on them and it was self defense" line. It's really proliferating at a terrifying speed over there

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c

1. continuing, not 1 off.
2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it
3. literally at hand of federal government, which is
4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

Appetizer-sized dish. Maple/miso glazed, charred sweet potato. Cauliflower puree. Candied bacon. Strawberries pickled with tarragon and lemon. And pistachios.

Feeling pretty proud of this one. I rarely get to cook like I used to.

Had a client who is also an attorney—and someone I respect immensely—praise me for having “gifted communication skills,” and I will be riding that high for a looooong time.

This has to be a record for a FIFA Peace Prize recipient to turn around and unilaterally declare war on a sovereign country, right?

Just realized that if I were a law review article editor in this day and age, most of my time would be spent checking whether authors’ citations were AI hallucinations or not.

Alcohol doesn’t actually boil off quickly. That’s a myth.

It’s not nonsense. After two hours at alcohol’s boiling point, 5% of the alcohol can still remain. For dishes that are cooked less than 30 minutes, they can retain half the alcohol or more.

I have an Epson inkjet that is garbage. You can’t print in black if color is out and vice versa. I wouldn’t buy another Epson anything it frustrates me so much. Sorry for the anti-recommendation.

Not a competition movie, but any insights on Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon?

“Can’t gamble feeding baby on that dope money. Might not always be sufficient. But the United Parcel Service and the people at the post office didn't call you back because you had cloudy piss.”

“You’re an insurance defense lawyer, and the president of the United States has tasked you with filing criminal charges against the former head of the FBI. You have a week until the statute of limitations runs, and this is your first criminal case” is the premise of the worst stress dream imaginable

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Nostalgically listening to OutKast’s Aquemini album. This ear worm hit me and made me laugh: “United Parcel Service and the people at the post office didn't call you back because you got cloudy piss.”

And “Pay ya fuckin' beeper bill, bitch!”

This album is so damn good.

This is the voice of SG John Sauer, and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Seven-year-olds are wild. They will just casually roast you to your face. I’ve never felt so old at 42.

A Muslim is elected mayor of NYC on the day Dick Cheney dies. The world is healing.
