Some that come to mind:

All My Best Friends are Metalheads - Less Than Jake

Please Play This Song On The Radio - NOFX

Journey to the End of the East Bay - Rancid
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.

Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

This is such a funny idea and exists in a long tradition of ultramarathon race directors who are essentially trolling their entrants

Something happens to people’s brains when this guy posts and their reading comprehension completely disappears

This is a pretty clear statement and people in the replies are arguing with…other things
Okay final thought on the opsec thing:

Everyone has their own risk appetite. But if your risk appetite is too low to include “being anonymously in the same chat room as someone who is talking to a member of the press” you should probably not be doing ICE rapid response. That is too low.

I can’t remember any of the titles of unique classes I took in college, that was a long time ago and I stopped thinking about it immediately. But I know I must have taken:

General Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
Physical Chemistry
Analytical Chemistry
Biochemistry
Five classes you took in college:

Political and Socioeconomic History of South Africa
Crime and Delinquency in America
Perspectives: The Jazz Age
Vodou: Religion in the Caribbean and Western Africa
Art Therapy
Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college

Quantum mechanics
Alternative traditions in film
Viticulture and enology
French women writers
Native American history since 1885

One knife

Spread the jelly first

Wipe the knife off on the other slice of bread

Spread the peanut butter
I just found out that my spouse makes a PB&J sandwich using the same knife for both toppings, instead of one knife for each separate container.

We've been married for over 16 years. I cannot believe I just discovered this NOW.

Is it 1 knife or 2 when making PB&J? Chime in!

Backing up The Argument in NYT/Siena, Gen X still has an astonishing 49% approval for Trump (!), while Boomers have dipped to 42%.

Gen X is currently tracking at 12 pts to the right of the electorate on the generic ballot. Now 9 pts to the right of Boomers, which has to be the largest gap ever.

Ok, I listened to the Springsteen song and my main takeaway is: it’s very hard to fit a five-syllable city name into the rhythm of a song but good on him for trying

Nobody could have predicted that coming to rely on ChatGPT to do your job might have negative consequences! Why didn’t someone warn him?

Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams

There are *already* standards on much of this.

The issue is DHS isn't following them!

People are pissed at CHOC about this, and the loss of this care is a tragedy, but it’s hard to see what they’re supposed to do in the face of these new rules

CHOC was really good to my family in a really difficult time so I may be a little biased here

Advocates and families blast Children’s Hospital of OC’s decision to close trans health care clinic
CHOC said they made the decision due to federal pressure. Advocates say the closure would likely have ripple effects that could reverberate for years.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
