Be Done Again

We're calling it "Placebo" and it's going to be great.

Yep. I've claimed most of the kitchen responsibility which both lets me make giant messes and gets me off the hook on other things.

My kids have officially reached "release them into the woods and they'll find their way back when they're hungry" years old. This is the good stuff.

Fairly normal. But it does make you feel guilty about inevitably giving them away later

Definitely the whiskey sweetness, not the mountain dew. I might need to try this, haven't done anything clarified in a while.

That's bigger than either of my kids were at their 4yo appts.

Yeah, but you can also just lie about that and save $800

People trying to play rec softball with a hot bat is problem. People playing as their identified gender shouldn't be.

It's a combination of two things
1. switching from quarters to semesters 25 years ago, so you're now trying to finish 1/2 the calendar and exams before Christmas holiday
2. Trying to get as much classroom time as possible before spring standardized tests in order to increase test scores

Let kids play sports with their friends. It shouldn't be more complicate than that.

and the socks that aren't even a school color for some reason.

APS is right there at $5.1M with about 1/4 the students. Jeez.

I still used liberated dining hall plates and silverware at my apartment for years after graduating

I looked at getting tickets for that game (and I'm super glad I didn't go too far down that path) but it was a gimmick to sell a million tickets at $200+ a pop. It takes some real effort to get to anything more nefarious than that.

And Craig Lefferts, who went to high school with my dad. One of my earliest baseball memories is wandering down to talk to him in the bullpen at Fulton county stadium

^same thanks for coordinating it all @jeffreykeese.bsky.social

There is a person on Marta with a cat on his shoulder. The cat looks shockingly chill

Now you're gonna get looks because they're afraid you'll steal their picnic baskets

Ever need to know the time while you're looking in a mirror? Boy is this the clock for you!

You go clockwise. Like a clock. Which is a similar device in that it shows the passage of time. And goes clockwise.

I remember a chart like this from when I was a kid (Catholic) and it was color coded so I could figure out why the priest was wearing x color without having to pay attention to mass.

No, he said they would be fun.

Made my kids listen to Rebecca Black on the way to school today. That song is somehow even worse than I remember it. And also they loved it.

Might've played myself.

It's all Jon Hamm's fault

"She doesn't need to die for us to do that" followed by a long stare

Eating Aliens by Jackson Landers

I just started this (probably based on a rec from here) and its pretty fun

I'm at 30 where i stayed or did something locally +8 I stepped foot in outside an airport.

My mind went to Aaron Harang and I thought that wasn't so bad, he was fun that one year.

But Aaron Blair. Gross.

My wife is doing one of these next month somewhere in the Ozarks. I'm mildly jealous

We definitely have mine/hers, but its more of car 1 vs car 2. Mine is definitely car 2, pretty much only driven if we need both cars.
