I think I’ve seen three plays at A Red Orchid Theatre, and they’ve all been great, including this one.

Going to Polymarket to check odds on dates for when an MLB announcer refers to ABS as “IBS” as well as if it will be on the White Sox TV broadcast.

While Col. Lockjaw walking into his new office is a great meme for someone getting canned, I do hope it doesn’t cause the erosion of using Tommy DeVito going to get made. Future generations need to have both as touchstones.

The internet absolutely rules. Some mutual you don’t know irl whose handle is “chodemuncher420” and posts fart memes in pundits’ replies will write “My wife and I help out foster kids 4x a week so they can go to college. We work with this charity that could use some help, please donate if you can.”

The idea that he’s just some dumb curious regular guy well into his 50s was always a very convenient act to avoid any criticism.

Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom. Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry. By Isaac Chotiner March 4, 2026

Excuse me. Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me. I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are. Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.

I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train. I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.

Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015? If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.

You know who else is excellent at collecting relevant papers to assist a researcher in trying to understand a particular topic? A librarian.

You know what you still have to do when conducting a lit review? Read the damn papers. There is no shortcut for doing quality research. You just gotta do it

Hog Butcher for the World, Tool maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler; Stormy, husky, brawling, City of the Big Shoulders: They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys. And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again. And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the faces of women and children I have seen the marks of wanton hunger. And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them: Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.

Flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities; Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness, Bareheaded, Shoveling, Wrecking, Planning, Building, breaking, rebuilding, Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth, Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs, Laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has never lost a battle, Bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse, and under his ribs the heart of the people, Laughing! Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of Youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be Hog Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation.

Happy Birthday to the greatest city in the world.

“Right,” said Frog.

Can confirm. This may break me.

Tweet from Vince Shalomi: Suing the GOP Texas for deleting my nickname "Shamwow" in the Primaries so they help the incumbent John Carter so the voters don't recognize me. Rigged election by these rhinos.
