Thank you for the phrase “Baseball Colton Burpo.” I mean, THAT NAME.

N=1 and included abuse. Bring the day!

For all we pretend this nation rejected royalty, people sure love to jump when the king calls.

That says so much.

Sesame Street introduced me to diversity back in the day and I’m glad to see it’s still fulfilling that role, anyway. As a rural white child in the early 1970s, I didn’t see people of color IRL ever and knew they existed only because of Sesame Street.

More proof that fathers just can’t handle being in the workforce.

For some reason, this idea brings me a measure of comfort.

“I first saw President Reagan as a foot, highly polished brown cordovan wagging merrily on a hassock. I spied it through the door. It was a beautiful foot, sleek. Such casual elegance and clean lines! But not a big foot, not formidable, maybe a little ...frail. I imagined cradling it in my arms, protecting it from…

Seeing this as a metaphor for the current state of race relations is fucking killing me.

Couldn’t get this out of my mind, especially when he went “QUIET QUIET QUIET” to the guy asking about anti-Semitism.

I was introduced to “Tezeta” thanks to a viral video of a surfing bulldog and I can’t let it go. It’s so damn versatile -- cheerful yet wistful, chill without being pretentious, vigorous but not tense. SO GOOD.

“I know two girls that I just adore. I’m so happy I can see them more...”

“it wasn’t anything to necessarily lose my shit over since the women didn’t seem to be suffering or bleeding.”

REAL libertarians don’t NEED world leaders!

That sentence about having only good roommates meaning you were the bad one convicted me when I remembered pulling warts off my feet in front of my roommate (sorry, gurl).

This is outstanding.

Shut the season down; that’s all any of us Minnesotans are looking for in th fall.

I see I’m at the age now where we can look at some of the more formative years of my adolescence through a modern lens and I can better understand just how much influence media coverage had on how I viewed women throughout the 80s and early 90s. “An American sweetheart and American sex object”? JFC.

I always figured the first major woman nominee would be a Republican, honestly. No party is going to risk a revolutionary, and anyway, presidential politics are designed to be incremental. The fact that she’s a woman has to be revolution enough for this cycle; it’s all the system will allow.
