I was astonished to recently learn that Adrian Chiles is just some mildly funny, generally pleasant, inoffensive BBC radio bloke, and not, as his Guardian column headlines suggest, a stark raving lunatic.

I still miss the “chocolate malted” that was sold at the Kingdome in the 80’s. It came with a wooden spoon-stick that you used to mush it up (it was sold frozen solid) and it was so, so tasty. But this year I’m looking forward to trying the new ferry-shaped snack tray at T-Mobile Park.
real mid-90s post-grunge album cover vibes (complimentary).
Everyone says that culture peaked when they were in middle school, but culture really did peak when *we* were in middle school.
IRS free file is still up, is that something different? We used it last week, didn’t pay anything. It’s not very well designed, bad UI, but it’s very much still available and $0. www.irs.gov/e-file-do-yo...
If the Greens win, I hope PM Polanski, at his first broadcast from No. 10, uses his professional hypnotherapist skills to mass-cure the UK of its TERFism.
Maybe he saw the AI nurse figure in the corner of the pic and got confused and probably horny.
Olivia is almost certainly misconstruing what her rebbe said. Or, lying. Anybody can take Hebrew classes wtf.
My father managed to get bar mitzvah’d in the ‘50s in what I assume was a conservative shul, almost certainly not Reform, and his mother was Catholic. That matrilineal rule is not designed to gatekeep congregants like she’s describing.
Dementia can affect visual perception, so it’s possible that he glanced at the picture, saw the red robe, and free associated to “Red Cross.” But also this was in context of his shit stirring with the pope. so yes: both equally likely.
Balsamic PhD Dropout.
My favorite Coen bros. movie! Enjoy. “Go Bearss!”
In absolute terms, Trump. Adjusted for age, Jones.
I think my friend @modaviau.bsky.social ‘s book Epic and Lovely came out while you were hibernating darth. It’s about time, disability, motherhood, and fucked up relationships. and it’s funny! wvupressonline.com/epic-and-lov...
Vance is the biggest weiner in this entire government. He has an opportunity today, in the next few hours in fact, to stop a madman from kicking off WWW3, and establish his own presidential future. He’d get cheers across the aisle, prizes, a 2nd term. But he won’t, because he is a fucking weiner.
He also literally believes in the power of positive thinking. Norman Vincent Peale cult woo magic.
This is giving “OBL is dying of diabetes” vibes.
It may have been outsider art. There’s something of Salvation Mountain/Slab City to it. Everyone in seattle called it The Blob and we were weirdly proud of its existence.
actual lol.
This was like if Gaudí didn’t know math. Or catholicism.
Behold: The Blob! A core memory for Queen Anne (Seattle) kids of the 90s.
My dad got uncomfortably flirted with by a belly dancer in that restaurant, in front of his wife and children, on his 40-somethinghth birthday.
Maybe just being mainline Catholic didn’t register to him as “some weird religious thing.”
This technique is similar to how my brother found his wife: he searched for his best match, furthest away, on OKCupid; she was in the Peace Corps in Azerbaijan at the time.
LDS is huge in Hawai’i. The whole town of Laie, home of BYU-HI, is Mormon.
Have you seen his Amy Klobuchar videos? He does her as Pete Buttigieg’s bestie/frenemy. In one, he’s her dressed for halloween as “Edward Zinfandelhands.” Incredible.
I’d say Stephen Miller but I’m pretty sure he will pull a Goebbels before any trial.
The baller move for Jewish dads in the 80s was to hide the afikomen in the vcr slot. #pesach
This isn’t quite Clowes, but it does look like it belongs next to a Clowes Ok Soda can from 1993.
