No Ducks, No Dogs, No Irish ☘️

Thank you for this. I’ve been on a George jag for the past year or so, and it’s like chasing a ghost. He’s unknowable and lost to time. Your piece brings him into focus, just for a moment.

We sent a Jeremy to space

That’s MY America

One of my best friends texted me almost those exact words at splashdown. Feels good to feel good!

losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice

Nice work, WaPo, no notes

TOM SHOT FIRST

I’m Waiting for the Piano Man, said no one ever

I posted this video about 15 years ago, and it has over a million views and nearly 800 comments, filled with love for this band and this song. Augie and Doug brought so much joy to so many, in a way that was pure and uncynical and just a groove. RIP Augie ❤️

Welp, you and Stephen Miller have something in common 😂

Fear not, the wanker guitar solo is here to rescue you

I’m as happy about this as anyone, but people really need to understand that Rehmet has to win again in *November* - a much tougher prospect - to actually serve in the legislature.

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

Which minor is it this time?

THIS IS WHY WE FOOTBALL

Unbelievable

To me it always tracked with Hemingway (his first literary hero) in that the body he abused finally betrayed him in the end. There simply was no way a man like that would live as an invalid.

Will saw that Applebee’s commercial

Literally lol’d when I heard “14 second possession.”
