Heck, it wasn’t just booze on Sundays, I remember when you’d be hard pressed to find a gas station open on Sundays, let alone any other kind of store. (This was in the Bridgeport area.)

Is it better than the Spanish version of “I’m Too Sexy”? (Which I promise you exists; it was a B-side.)

Pretty sure I once saw Frontier Gibberish open for Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I’m thinking more like Ricky from Better Off Dead, if he were hopped up on amphetamines.

“Autocorrecting” my *email address* of all things drives me batty!!!

We love that movie in our house. (Our toddler especially.) Of any of the movies/shows on incessant repeat, it’s actually quite enjoyable. Watching Javier Bardem sing to a crocodile is a hoot, and the Shawn Mendes songs are really good! (Added bonus: exposing our kid to “Sir Duke” by Stevie Wonder!)

How many Scaramuccis is that?

Same reason conservative news always makes a big deal about the volume ofdrugs *seized* at the border. They don’t care about drugs entering the US; they just like pointing out how “bad” folks from “those other countries” are.

Someone once described the Facebook reactions, in order, as “the stages of learning about Morrissey” and that’s really stuck with me

Being 100% genuine here, I’m a leftist Biden voter who knew about the IRA and “Bidenomics” and had absolutely NO idea until your post that there was any climate portion of the IRA.

It was just different dog whistles back then. I was, like, eight years old and knew from “the nice old man who liked jelly beans” that “welfare queens” were bad; thankfully, my ignorance never impacted much, if anything… by the time I was old enough to vote, I knew better.

So sorry to hear this Andrew. The sense I’ve gotten from here and the Facebook group (which I know you don’t follow) is that the LARGE majority of listeners simply want you to do what you do, and feel grateful to live in an era where we get to experience the fruits of all your hard work.

10% of tuition? For the sake of all the people I know who are in academia, I can fully support “professorial tithing”!
