If this is the Worcestershire sauce, I don’t know if I’m ready for the Besterstershire sauce.

I’ve had a bunch in my yard in Wisconsin over the past few weeks. They’ve discovered my crow feeder (crows have not acknowledged it yet.)

I just told the mourning doves in my yard to get over it already.

Just realized that the odds of me being the only person on Earth wearing a Lana Del Rey T-shirt and a Dead Moon hoodie are astronomically high.

Whenever someone mentions exfoliating, I think about how often I’m just standing around foliating without even realizing it.

Packages! I love packages.

Crazy how y’all got more than we’ve seen up here in Wisconsin. The climes they are a-changin’!

Not many better 1-2 punches to open a record than "Candy Says" and "What Goes On."

The gift that keeps on giving!

Whoops! I blocked him.

I think they take a bare bones approach to the whole thing, not really letting it get under their skin.

I stare at a computer most days and finally did the same a week or so ago after a couple years. The difference is amazing.

I’ve always loved the M.R. James ghost stories and their place in the British celebration of Christmas. Here’s a list of options beyond the classic BBC adaptations.

I’ve been borderline obsessed with the new record. I recently saw someone post that regardless of him looking like a Halloween decoration that just woke up, his voice was as strong as it was 30+ years ago.

HELLO

He looks so sassy. Great photo.

After the mental gymnastics I’ve seen from MAGA over the past 8 years or so, I feel like anyone thinking a lesson will be learned is delusional.

People need to start looking at Dem leadership. Fingers always point in every other direction, but the people entrusted with handling “the most important election of our lives” (every four years) continue down a path that is not engaging the people necessary for winning elections.

Completely disheartened by the Dem party’s refusal to be more engaging vs their continued condescension and fear mongering that continues to prove a losing strategy. I can only hope there’s a chance to push this back, but think it would require new D leadership.

The only time I’be seen one, it caught me so off guard that it took me a few seconds to register the profound stupidity that my eyes was witnessing.

I’ve reached a point where I’m struggling to see a lack of intentionality. There’s no explicable reason to expect trust or engagement from people when your experts drop the ball so bad and so often.

When my wife and I moved to wisconsin, we dedicated large sections of our front and back yard to natives (with guidance from a friend/professional.) 3 years in and it’s booming, with tons of pollinators visiting all the time. A constant pick me up.

I just saw a post on Instagram (not allowing comments) about scrambling eggs with the steam wand on an espresso machine. My first job in Chicago was at Earwax, and we did this, using the same machine that all drinks were made with. No way in hell to clean that when busy. Still makes my skin crawl.

Bruce Adams and Michael Carriere at the Sugar Maple in Milwaukee, WI for a discussion about Bruce’s book “You’re With Stupid”.

@bruceadams.bsky.social came to Milwaukee to talk about his excellent book, You’re With Stupid. His time at distributors and Touch and Go were discussed, as well as his time with Kranky. Hosted by Lion’s Tooth books, moderated by Michael Carriere, who is also writing a pretty neat book.
