Sports ain’t the half of it. There’s a pho joint near me that has really great soup, but they also have a big TV that is usually tuned to CNN with the volume turned up. I just want to eat my pho in peace and not have to think about the world’s bullshit for 20 minutes. I don’t go there anymore.

That intentional grounding call on the Panthers’ last possession and their carping about it the rest of the game: legit gripe for the Panthers, or just pointless bitching on their part? Sure looked like intentional grounding to me, but they change the rules for that almost as often as they change the definition of a…

Kung Pao Brussels sprouts! Far and away the most sprouts I’ve ever eaten in one sitting.

I hate the term “ask” as a noun. “My ask of you is...”

Consequences: not really. The PTA will notice who donates and who volunteers a lot, but in my experience there’s no negative consequences for the kids whose parents don’t chip in. I think there’s an understanding that not everyone can chip in all the time.
As for what’s done with the money, that’s going to vary…

Our PTA had a “no fuss fundraiser,” and it was great. “Just write us a check. The goal is $10K, which we could hit if every family gave $25. If we make that, no other fundraisers all year.” And it worked. HELL YES.

Second the recommendation for the Circulator. Sometimes it’ll be cheaper, faster, and more direct than the Metro depending on where you are and where you want to go.

Aside from shooting Mr. Burns

—My late father-in-law had a small farm, and he usually grew pumpkins. One year he grew some that were specifically a cooking variety (jack-o-lantern pumpkins, not so good for pies). I took one home, roasted it, pureed the flesh, then made a pie from it. It was good. Was it significantly better than one made from…

Answering my own question after checking Reddit, it’s A + C. Young Beatrice was told to have a lemon with sugar as a snack.

When Beatrice is giving BoJack the painting, he opens the fridge and it’s full of lemons and sugar. Is this a callback? A gag? Something from Bea’s foggy memory? I’m missing something and it’s driving me nuts.

There are too many TV shows, movies, video games, books, magazines, comic books, blogs, sporting events, YouTube channels, podcasts, and songs. I don’t know how people keep up.

Did you notice the otter at the waterpark, using a cell phone in a ziploc bag? Maybe he should get an OtterBox.

I specifically requested an explainer for hurling in the comments of the cricket explainer last November. This isn’t that exactly, but still enjoyable.

OK, stupid question time. I get that it’s the principle of the thing, and it’s the tip of the iceberg and all that. But what specific threat is there to the data they’re collecting? My e-mail address is already all over the place, and I don’t much care if Sonos knows I named one of my speakers “Living Room” or that I…

Best part of that video is the headshot at 1:18. Don’t miss it.

You forgot okra.

“He started 48 games at second base for the Nationals in 2014, without any notable bitching, after a mid-season trade”

I usually interpret calls for “bipartisanship” as “Your side should roll over and let our side do whatever we want.”

Plenty of columns out there suggesting anti-Trump folks need to be more civil and understand why his voters feel the way they do. Oddly, not nearly as many columns telling Trump voters to be more civil and understand why everyone else feels the way they do. How strange.
