Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

For you to make this choice at this point is truly breathtaking, as it’s wholly and unequivocally self-inflicted. You’ve done this to yourself, man. You chose this. And now history will shame you. Helluva bummer.

@golden.house.gov Why, man? Why would you give your support to these psychopaths? I supported you. The respect I’ve lost for you is immeasurable. Usually, when one bows out of politics, they typically choose a path that will solidify their place on the right side of history, going out punching up.

I'm having slight difficulty shifting from the clarification of "that's with a **B**, not an **M**" to "that's with a **T**, not a **B**" in everyday conversation. Any tips on coping mechanisms for this sort of accelerationism in action would be appreciated.

And they’re covering _Without You I’m Nothing_ in its entirety in a performance billed as “Without Without You I’m Nothing I’m Nothing.”

(To be fair, this wasn't nearly so embarrassing as the time I confused Chris Brokaw with Chris Forsyth... to his face. 😔 In my [weak] defense, I was more than slightly impaired.)

OMG this actually happened to me. I can't possibly be the only one who's confused Howling Bells and Trembling Bells, can I?

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

But they’ve got to pay back that 50k bonus if they bail. It’s lose-lose, and I absolutely love that for them.

I honestly believe that no situation couldn’t be made better by having a character played by Zach Cherry intervene. The name we give this character is irrelevant; what’s important is that the role is played by Zach Cherry.

The Tain is absolutely 100% metal, and yes, this is in fact a hill I’ll die on. (Also, NNCK was always a folk band, but we don’t need to wander into the weeds here.)

Wait’ll you try a Burnt Trailer — Moxie, Allen’s Coffee Brandy, and milk to taste. As Maine as it gets.

Thanks, @mandalee.bsky.social! Yeah, but judging by the responses already I suspect she’s already well covered

The explanation is always “well, I guess whomever I lended it to clearly needed to read it more than I needed to hang on to my first edition copy of it,” isn’t it? 🤨

Having watched _Coffee & Cigarettes_ again on Plex for the first time in decades, am I the only one who feels kinda low-key pissed at Tom Waits for being such a dick to Iggy even after all these years? I know it shouldn't bother me, but it does.

I'm beginning to think that the reason that no one has picked up and run with "Kristi Noem Chomsky" is because there's not a goddamned thing anybody can do with that. Despite the initial promise and zazz, it's a comedic dead end. I would love, however, for someone to disabuse me of my defeatism.

I'm pleased to have the distinct honor of being the exact 1,000th 'like' on this post. Deservedly, I must say, as my audible guffaw woke my dogs who were peacefully sleeping in front of the woodstove. Well done, Mr. 2hats.
