The two most troubled students at my kids' school are named Stiles and Slater and as a child of the '80s I can't for a second believe that's coincidental.

My dad died in 2016.
People say, I wish so-and-so had lived to see...
I wish he'd lived to see my 1st house & his granddaughter past her first few months & his grandson at all.
But other than Dunkirk (2017), I can't think of a single thing in the wider world I wish he'd lived to see.
It's not great.

I've spend most of my life striving to be better than most people at most things, and I'm confident that I've achieved that goal. Which is tragic because success comes from being better than almost everyone at one (or at most a few) things.

Non-alcoholic beer: Because sometimes you want your soda savory, not sweet

There's no day so bad that snagging your pocket on a drawer pull can't make it worse.

I think my favorite artists and librarians are people.

Wings' 1973 song would hit really different if it were "Jeff"

If we're only *slightly* diminishing, shouldn't it be more like The Pretty Good Gatsby?

Jordan Peele really is the master of unGoogleable movie titles

Look, famous musician, I don't want to be judgy, but if you were born after I graduated high school, that's pretty fucked up.

Genuinely surprised there are zero Google results for "On Fleek Roadshow"

When a flag is flown at half-mast they should also fly a QR code that links to an explanation of why.

Decidedly unclear whether running far enough to feel delightfully high is extending or reducing my lifespan.

Surely there are examples from Taskmaster...but contestants usually end up endangering/hurting themselves (or Alex Horne)

Luigi's Real Italian Ice, Cherry-flavored

On Monday night we saw a SpaceX launch as we parked at the restaurant where we were celebrating my son's birthday.
It left a perfect metaphor in the sky for what that guy is trying to do to our country, like an evil reverse Bat-signal.
Anyhow, my son enjoyed the cold dessert that came with his meal.

It was the worst of times,
it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Darkness,
it was the winter of despair,
we had nothing before us.

"It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life."

Counting Crows: "It's been a looong December..."
2025: "Hold my beer..."

The worst of men lead lives of loud desperation.

Does anyone other than quarterbacks, corrupt politicians, and musicians get to be "in the pocket"?
It sounds comfy.
