If she also expresses interest in learning to play the clarinet and/or oboe, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. (Source: my brother learning to play clarinet 30 years ago)

This phenomenon always fascinates me. Like I know it's an ideological objection rather than a fiscal one ("I get to say how I spend my money, not the government") but seriously... just pay your damn taxes and quit whining. (Challenge Rating: Impossible)

"Come on, it's only a mile away, if i can walk it on a busted knee so can you, don't be a baby"-- things I have said to people in lieu of calling an Uber

The hierarchy of transport options when visiting a medium-to-large city is Transit > Walking > Rideshare > Rental Car. I have had to violate this hierarchy repeatedly this year on trips and I hate myself

Remember, bears fans: the Saints are hot garbage, so the competence you are seeing on display right now is at least 40% fraudulent

I mean, we clearly *should* be until we get our act together

Me, rooting for the team in the city in which i actually live, after said team has vanquished the team from my hometown:

Blegh. Let's go Brewers i guess

Butter on bagels is the MOST GOYISH THING EVER* but that also means you have a built-in excuse. UNLIKE MY WIFE, ALLEGED EAST COAST JEW

*I mean, apart from the "not being jewish" thing

Anyway I like to think of my bagel preference less as "losing the NYC mayor's race" and more as "doing psychic harm to people who gatekeep bagel topping choices. And BTW THE WATER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NYC BAGEL QUALITY. YEAH I SAID IT

Really though, I will even eat a poppyseed/sesame bagel from a reputable NYC joint at this point, because Milwaukee is a BAGEL WASTELAND. There are two places you can get a halfway decent bagel, and one of them is a food truck and the other costs $1M for a dozen bagels

Cinnamon Raisin bagel, plain cream cheese. I KNOW I KNOW but in my defense pumpernickel is my *second* favorite kind of bagel. (At least I don't butter them like DLW does. Gott in Himmel.)

I will say that "Too Long" is... well. At 6 minutes, that track is up there with the first four. TEN minutes is utter Gallic madness, however

Who hurt you

New Yorkers, some people in Georgia, and members of my family: the only people who ever get my last name right. (To paraphrase office space: "why should I change it? [Houston, Tx]'s the one who sucks")

Cool cool cool cool cool. Are we ready to spin off Div I sports into their own entities independent of the schools yet or what

It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the reason I became an archivist was because of my semester in small-town Iowa historical societies researching on fiche/film, and saying "I want nobody else to have to put up with this nonsense"

"I have never heard of this format that flattens text presentation, is hard to use for access, and gives you a headache if you stare at it all day for research" ahem. Donald Glover?

In fairness, as someone who works with both fiche and film daily, Microfiche is terrible and the sooner its name is blotted out the better

The 10yo weighs in:
"Dad i want to go to one of the games!"
"Kid, if i didn't pay that for Cubs WS tickets, I'm *definitely* not paying it for Cubs NLDS tickets"
"Come on, we don't really need to eat next week"

"Huh, maybe since this is a best of 5 series I can look into going to one of the games at AmFa--" *clocks ticket prices* "as I was saying, maybe I can watch the game with some other FIBs-in-exile at someone's house"

A legit question all right thinking cubs fans should demand answers to. We don't want to make it worse!

LETS GO CUBBIES *clap clap clapclapclap* #FlyTheW

HOW IS THIS REAL COME ON

Oh good, I was worried that the records managers weren't going to have anything to complain about from this event. That was silly

It's got the mix of authoritarianism and rank stupidity that we've come to expect from this administration so... tracks
