*gestures exhaustedly toward why treason is defined in the Constitution*

This is the kind of thing I would absolutely read an ethnography about.

It’s not the promotion we need, but it’s the promotion we deserve.

The history of the present President is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world:

They’re opening a baked potato restaurant in Philly.

The America 250 logo: serif text that reads “America” and the a twisted red, white, and blue ribbon that is rendered as “250.”

Yeah, we’ve got Trump and most of us admit that’s not great, but we don’t put too much weird shit on baked potatoes: America 250

“When in the course of human events, a people commits to eating tuna and corn—together—on a baked potato…”

This is a celebratory Semiquincentennial skeet.

Not the first time

Look, we all know what Floyd is doing to relax.

It’s possible that this is a skill issue on my part. Maybe I’m miscooking them?

I’m using the cover of all of these bad air travel takes to say:

I honestly prefer chicken breasts to chicken thighs.

(Assuming, of course, that they aren’t the MASSIVE absurd supermarket sized breasts which don’t taste like much and have a weird texture.)

In case you think migrant families in blue cities are breathing any easier these days, my kid’s best friend is transferring to a school right next to her house because her mother wants to minimize their time in cars to avoid any interaction with the authorities

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I had to turn my heat back on.

(Also, great run by Jess McClain to make sure that Kenyan women didn't take the top five slots...)

It's remarkable that Kenya can claim the men's and women's Boston Marathon winners.

PLUS THE NEXT TOP THREE FINISHERS IN THE WOMEN'S RACE. (And another top three finish in the men's race.)

Look, Boston is Kenyan territory now.

I didn't make the rules. It's just the way things are.

John Korir is an absolute machine.

It's a rich text.

I haven’t read Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless and it is now on the list.

Honestly, had I discovered fungi as an undergraduate I might have had a completely different trajectory. I find the interrelationship between fungi and plants (especially plant roots) and fungi networks to be just about the most fascinating biological thing in the world.

I’d do two things:

(1) I’d get back into shape.

(2) I’d read.

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

Legal ethics (advertising edition) question: Just saw a local news ad for lawyers who, at the end of the ad, proudly declared themselves to be sponsors of the Chicago Cubs.

How does that declaration impact their ability to sue/be sued by the Chicago Cubs?

I’m chronically early. My partner thinks that you score points if you are Right On Time™.

This is exacerbated at the airport by my general flight anxiety. I like to get there. Find my gate. Find a snack or bathroom (if necessary). If we pile time anxiety on flight anxiety, that’s too much anxiety.

Great googly moogly.

The Mummy (1999).

Absolute unit.

After the roast, hit it with the broiler for a couple of minutes to crisp the skin.

Mount the sauce in a blonde roux. I didn’t do this, but you should: probably squeeze of fresh orange juice in the sauce when it’s off the heat/right before you serve.
