Don’t ask why this occurred to me but does anyone else think the Nancy Meyers white couch set dressing aesthetic is maybe a comment on the triumph of menopause

What about a dunking booth

The dog was just starting to give me a paw and then WITHDREW it because he saw it was a bullshit healthy treat

Bon Moreno! Bon Mamdami! A very happy new mayor to both my cities

He did his first on camera shot at 6:30 pm CT

The Las Vegas Sphere has totally succeeded in branding because I just saw some ball drop prep videos and I wondered “what is the Sphere doing for New Year’s Eve.” THE SPHERE OWNS THE PUBLIC ROUNDNESS SPACE

Ok so obviously I have heard “Have a very Jerry Christmas” quite a bit but this is the first time I’ve heard “and a happy Bob Weir”

Sorry yes that is low hanging fruit

Before the end of 2025 I promise to decide whether I like Geese or Goose better, it’s looking like Goose but that’s not saying a lot

Wow and here I was learning to code

Wait anyone can be a deportation judge? Like me, with half an MFA in creative writing as my highest level of education?

Yeah mine was a roll but it was sliced (that’s cheese not cinnamon)

Tonight 10-midnight CT on @wwozneworleans.bsky.social! Lefty had to buy an extra suitcase to bring home all the records he brought in Brazil and we will play them. Feliz Natal!!

They’re finally breaking ground on the old abandoned navy base in Bywater and we all got a flyer warning us to watch out for an increased semi-feral cat population fleeing their old house

I wound up only getting cookies because the cannoli makers were so stressed lol

Spare a thought this holiday season for the young people toiling in the cannoli mines at Angelo Brocato’s. It’s intense over there #verylocalskeet

Christmas starts now! Or at 7pm central, when I sub in on WWOZ til 10 with a holiday set. 90.7 FM and WWOZ dot org if you’re in the North Pole!

I did understand (barely) what this link was going to be, but

Wait, I have another joke

American Can’t

Also worthy

Welcome to New Orleans (?)

I can’t be the first person to wonder if Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza were only together because of all the Zs

So far every language I’ve tried on a language app thinks I will be eating a sandwich and ice cream all the time as if every country is like the boathouse cafe in Central Park

Her Father Wrote ‘On the Road.’ She Lived Her Own Version.

Wish I could say I skipped school to hear Jan speak at the NYU beat conference in 1994, right before her death (I was a particular kind of nerd and in fact my school let me go downtown in lieu of class) but anyway very good choice NYRB!! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/b...

As an almost lifelong freelancer in the arts sphere, would you rather a) make a comprehensive up-to-date CV or b) stick a cactus up your butt and eat worms at the same time

CITY TO TRUMP: DROP DEAD

Took me a minute to dig this up - from September 2015 at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame

Amazing but dogs are sentient beings with opinions and personalities!

There needs to be a term like Swedish death cleaning for what you do in middle age when you realize your house is full from all the stuff you magpied in your twenties and thirties and now you must make room for the stuff you will surely gather in the next half (god willing)
