Union man. I write about baseball and make stupid jokes, not necessarily in that order. For a midlife crisis expressed through record collecting, follow me @mystupidrecords.bsky.social
our country is on fire and waging an illegal war, with our international reputation even further ruined, but I also got the new Mary Roach book at a library book sale for $2, so it's impossible to say if it's a good or bad day

Yelling “pursuant to the constitution” as my head gets dunked in the toilet again. What they don’t know is that I’m yelling hard enough to be heard by a teacher walking down the hall.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Richard Matheson wrote a time-travel episode of Twilight Zone for Buster Keaton, who spends most of it in his underwear. It rules.

The more I listen to Marian McPartland and read about her, the less it makes sense that she still isn't a household name.
LATE ENTRY:
I bought a sealed copy of this earlier this year, but I hadn't opened it yet. Ideally, I'd keep it sealed and pick up an autographed copy in a bargain bin as my listening copy, but what are the odds of ... ah.

that's a good point karl rove, and I agree, you should come over one of these days to watch a football game and we can talk about it (come alone)
ROVE: “.. He’s gone way too far by slapping his name on buildings ..
“.. the public is tiring of his hyperbole and insatiable desire for retribution. Increasingly, they may hear only the offensive or cruel things he says.”

My 10 favorite thrifting/garage sale/bargain bin finds of 2025. Favorite is the key word, not necessarily valuable or rare. The ones that made me feel things, dammit.

“He doesn’t even wiggle his hand, as the late queen did” is one of the dumbest sentences I’ve ever read.
This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books.

This game is like watching a 1999 Rangers/Indians game. Lee Stevens hitting 450-foot bombs off Paul Assenmacher. Travis Fryman hitting tanks off Mark Clark. Everyone getting more and more irritated instead of excited.
