I only managed 60 this year, which is down. And I look at your list and see I’ve seen 124, which tells me there are lots of holes to fill. Part of me admires your ability to take he time for this, and part of me cringes.

No, he turned his head just as he made contact. The same thing he very often famously does.

I picture a black fire ant yelling this.

That map is a serious burn.

First thing I said to my boys after Firmino’s first goal was it had to be a no-look goal. Love it when he does that. His second goal won’t be a Puskas nominee, but maybe the Gunners D will qualify for some sort of Keystone Cops award.

If a middle-aged white guy can offer a suggestion, I’d vote for The Fifth Season. Fucking brilliant, and I will be diving into the other two books in the trilogy shortly.

Yup. That’s why I said CE3K.

But let’s ignore CE3K and Harry and the Hendersons, why don’t we.

Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, because it definitely has been done before.

Showing this to my wife so she knows I’m not the only one.

Doom’s lips were shredded because it turns out making an embouchure through a slim steel opening is not terribly wise.

We lived in Utah in 2000-2001 before running back to Canada. My wife had gold-plated through her academic job, but we knew a family, he was in real estate, and two heart attacks had burned through whatever he had available to him through his own job (I think it was $1 million in health care costs), so he went without.…

Or a Canadian.

True, this. My only thought currently is that as a proof-of-concept, it seems promising. Whether it turns out to be a quality rocket or a sled to bring trapped kids out of a cave remains to be seen.

All correct, but the costs remain astronomical (or subterranean, really), and so far out of whack with that $10 million that all of those things can’t add up. Another City Lab article:

But can we judge you for writing “WOAH” instead of “WHOA?”

I can’t stand the sonofabitch, but if he isn’t bullshitting about the cost this could actually work for, you know, real mass transit.

Jesus, how old is this CSA logo?

Trouble in Mind and The Brother From Another Planet were both movies I was lucky enough to see on the big screen when they came out. These days, in the city where I live, there are two small rep cinemas that might carry movies like that weeks or months after their release: otherwise, it’s all MCU and DC and other…

Good thoughts from here (no prayers, though: those are useless). We will miss all that you noted and more, and look forward to them returning. Actually hoping this means there’s no Deadcast for a bit so I can catch up on all the other podcasts that piled up when I was away on vacation. Because I need to listen to Drew…
