There is a mouse loose somewhere in an air vent in my kitchen. Trevor the Dog is stalking it. I want to give him all the treats in recognition of his efforts.

Oh @taskmaster.tv - the first time my mum laughed hysterically after my dad died was Rosie Ramsey falling on the pillows in a cape. She's caught up on this series and has forgiven dad for his massive crush on Joanna Page in the mid-2000s because she's also making mum laugh hysterically on the show.

He walks better than me.

I would like to ban all the emails that say "I agree" because I don't care if you do.

Tomorrow I have to deal with an unqualified man who wants to be in charge of something for the perks when the consensus is I should be in charge because I'm competent. I figure he'll win because that's how the world works now.

Went to the Daily Mail website to find pictures of the royals at Easter as my brain rot. Instead find them covering the appointment for NC Senate District 23 in a horrible way. A part of me, for once, wants to comment on that site but who knows what kind of spam/bots I'd get harassed by. #ncpol

If I remember correctly, you like Veuve Clicquot and I saw it on sale at the wine store. And I thought yesterday "if this mission makes it, I'm buying that to drink with Jay and celebrate."

I have had "What kind of Irish is your grandad?" stuck in my head for a week. #SNLUK

They made Wellstone 1) alive and 2) VP in #ForAllMankind and I am happy with it

It might have been a long day, but Googling "can dogs eat broccoli rabe" makes it OK.

Never forget All Girls Staff off I-85

WorldMonitor is like a Bloomberg terminal but I don't have to work for an investment bank for the subscription.

I know, I know. Here we are again.

I got at least three of my friends to buy a copy of it yesterday so happy to provide some royalties. Two had seen it when it first came out and were depressed nothing's changed in 17 years.

If you're not watching In The Loop on repeat right now, you aren't understanding what's going on in the world.

I intentionally drove slowly to trail this.

Well, my generator works. And is loud.

Julius Caesar, Act I, Scene II [Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world] Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world

I go between this and what a piece of work is man for my favorite Shakespeare speech. poets.org/poem/julius-...

I got to meet Nobel Laureate Christopher Sims once, briefly, at a conference. So much of my life was shaped by a professor in undergrad giving me his VAR paper and saying "this explains what you're saying - go learn the math." And just the other day I was explaining IRFs to someone to explain today.

We exist in a meme stock economy in case some of you haven’t realized that yet.

They also haven't done provisionals or mail in most likely. So that number will change between now and next week. (Source is I've been an NC election judge for years.)

“I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love!”

Literally.

Telling a coworker who acts like a cheerleader you were an actual cheerleader is a great way to shut people up in the morning.

@hdtgm.bsky.social I didn't vote for this on Discord because I remember seeing it in theaters during grad school (because we'd watch anything with Clive Owen, and could legally drink), but put it on tonight at a party and ho boy...

There are a few people I think this could actually be given the outfit description, and they usually come into Cup A Joe by 8 am.

I am very lyrics-first. And there are absolutely only two types of people. Lyrics-first and music-first. And they mate with each other and fight over the aux forever.
