The worst-person-you-know meme, but in black and white, because we’re talking about something a long time ago.

Scene from The Simpsons. Homer behind the wheel of the car, Bart in the passenger seat with an ice cream sundae on his head and a soccer ball in his arms. Caption: I mean we can sit here and try to figure out who forgot to pick up who till the cows come home, but let’s just say we’re both wrong…

It’s mesmerizing. I scheduled a two day layover there next month just so I can aimlessly wander around it more.

Found a copy of Wright Thompson’s The Barn in little free library a couple months ago. Today I noticed this inside the front cover, and I need a complete oral history of this fucking couple.
A handwritten message on the front page of a book about Emmett Till, dated 3/24/25, reading “Happy birthday and happy reading! Love you!” It is signed “your girl” inside of a heart.

This feels like the negotiation scene in Bad Santa.

And the chart crime rates are through the roof!
Chart showing declines in homicide rates in 10 major U.S. cities. The axis going left of center (declines) goes out to 90% and the one going right goes to 20% over the same distance. Thus, a 15% increase in Los Angeles looks much bigger than the 37% decline in Philadelphia.

This was all I could think about through that whole interview.
Chris Farley grinning like a goober at Jeff Daniels on SNL. Caption: “that was awesome.”

Shot from The Simpsons. Mr. Burns in the background against a wall of books, Smithers in the foreground facing him, a scale model of Springfield between them. Text: “since the beginning of time man had years to destroy the sun.”

Style guide update: each usage of Waterway Access Pass should be written out in full.
Screenshot of an article from the Statesman-Journal under the heading “Other Notes On Permits” there are two bullet points: -Kids 13 and under do not need a WAP -WAPs can be transferred between boats. In other words, a WAP for a raft could also be used for a hard-shell kayak. But, if a family of four were each paddling separate kayaks (with everybody 14 and older) each family member would need a WAP.

Two panels from The Simpsons. In the first Marge says, “the plant called. They said if you don’t come in today don’t bother coming in on Monday.” In the second panel Homer raises his arm in triumph and says “WOOHOO, four day weekend!”

The law is clear as day. The judiciary may find some way to rule otherwise, but our representatives shouldn’t be running to court asking permission to do what the law plainly says they can. I’m honestly baffled by your yearning to create a permission structure for inaction here.

Did you catch when we hit you over the head with that frying pan?
Mashable headline: “Did you catch the Michelin star man in ‘The Bear’ Season 4? We did. They have a still shot from the show where Carmie is looking in a mirror and sees his and Richie’s reflections.

Don’t know what I thought Morgan Wallen looked like, but it wasn’t one of Philip’s disguises from The Americans.
Picture of Morgan Wallen taken from Pandora. I don’t even know what to say here, he’s a stone cold regular looking white guy with a mustache.
