I legitimately just had that song in my head as I walked back across my complex. Came back inside, sat down at my computer, and BOOM, BBMak. I legit liked that song back in the day, and still do.

I think GAP might have updated some of its clothing at some point? For at least a decade, their stuff was total crap, super boring and overpriced. But I saw an online promo code earlier this year and decided to dip my toe back into the GAP waters, albeit entirely online (I HATE shopping). I mostly wear dresses and…

I always think she’s Vanessa Bayer for several seconds whenever I see her pictures.

I was going to say, that’s a Portuguese water dog, the same kind owned by the Obamas.

I did the same thing when I was almost three, on Christmas Eve. We were at my grandparents’ house, which was this huge old Victorian with heavy, creaky doors and hinges. After my mom had put me to bed that night, I snuck back downstairs and while my mom was in the bathroom with the door shut, little me stuck my…

Yeah, the catcher turned his back to Urena and was not interested in defending him. This is the only time I have ever seen Urena play, but man, he seems like a real dick.

So I’ve heard, but getting to the perimeter from where I am after work is an absolute nightmare. I know there were traffic issues with Turner Field, too, but at least it was against rush hour traffic (I mean, the connector is a mess no matter the time of day, but still). I would be driving from downtown toward Cobb…

Ugh, I am still SO MAD at the Braves for moving to Cobb County, and I have been really good about not watching them for the past two seasons. As a native Atlanta and kid who grew up in the 90s, I LOVED the Braves, and even when they stopped being super good all the time, I went to tons of games every year, but the…

I was about to shout out Slide the City, because it’s coming to my city soon, but you beat me to it. I’m not the only person who’s heard of Slide the City!

I sometimes have a stiff drink before cleaning the litter boxes. Makes a really gross chore more tolerable.

I actually know the guy who beat him. He is, at the very least, better. 

Oh, it’s fine! I’m obviously biased towards Vanderbilt. Fun fact - Cornelius Vanderbilt didn’t actually have a naval or sea-faring position (he ran illegal shit up and down the Eastern seaboard), but he forced people around him to call him Commodore because he thought it sounded good, or at least that’s what they told…

I was going to add that. I don’t work in politics in Georgia, but I work ... around it, and from what I heard from people in his district (coastal Georgia), the newbie he lost to was begged to run by a bunch of powers-that-be down there who hated Spencer. 

As a Vanderbilt alum, yes, Cornelius was probably kind of terrible, but at least he gave up part of his fortune to start a real university, and not a predatory one designed to line his pockets? Also, Vandy’s campus is a national arboretum, and there is no way in hell that Trump even knows what that word means.

As someone who does takeout from time to time and Blue Apron on a weekly basis, at least in my experience, Blue Apron is waaaaay cheaper. All told, with three meals and shipping/delivery, my weekly BA cost is $60. I ordered a slice of pizza and a stromboli from a takeout service this weekend, and once I factored in…

I think I either missed that the first time around or had forgotten it, but oh man, the gif made me laugh so hard I cried. Then I found the full Deadspin story on and just completely lost control. Full on howling laughing fit. I need to bookmark that shit.

How was I not already following Phil on instagram? I follow Carl Hagelin for god’s sake.

I mean, I’m a millennial (an old millennial, at 34, but technically, I count), and I would love to do an RV trip hitting a bunch of national parks at some point. But I guess the difference is I don’t want to live in one? I also hate flying, so that is also a factor. My aunt and uncle, who very much are boomers, sold…

I work in that world, and I’m depressed as hell today. I started the day with optimism about some positive trends we’re seeing in my state, and now I’m in the deep, deep dumps.

I don’t know if you read Lainey gossip or not, but I follow her Show Your Work podcast, because it lifts up the importance of working hard and not pretending that you don’t, and I wish more people would value that.
