What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

Clementine had a hard day, 14 teeth extracted. She is wearing a new bandana because the vet applied transdermal pain killer.

GenX is now officially old enough to have their music featured in ads for regularity.🤦‍♂️

I'll go: Ninian Smart.

He had style and class.
Right, enough of James Watson - who's a senior academic you've met who's been an utter delight?

I'll go first: Jocelyn Bell Burnell

I guess @nytpitchbot.bsky.social will be posting a new column idea extolling Trump as a hero of the net-zero movement.
Looks like American air travel is already fucked and getting more so, in the wake of Duffy’s 10% reduction announcement. Hold onto your butts.

It’s been a day. There was a
Trip to the vet, and pokies, and yucky medicines and more pokies.

Everyone is slowly on the mend. Cranberry and Tater both don’t feel to hot today. Cranberry ended up in a sweater because she dropped weight.

The priority today/overnight is getting weights up 1/

This is a perfect album.
On this day in 1984, Bryan Adams released his fourth studio album Reckless. The album sold 12 million copies and was the first Canadian album to sell over one million copies in Canada where it went 11x platinum. It won three Junos and earned a Grammy nomination.

I had Monday Night Football on the radio while I made dinner. I could care less about the outcome of the game, but having Kevin Harlan on the play-by-play on Westwood One was such a pleasure. He is the best play-by-play radio broadcaster working today.

The homework in this R class is making me use dplyr and tidyr. As an old S programmer, I'm having way too many "kids these days" and "get off my lawn" moments.

The wife-unit is a huge fan of Greta van Fleet after we went to see them on the Starcatcher Tour. I had Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti on while I made dinner. Wife: what is this? Me: LED Zeppelin Physical Graffiti. Wife: I like it. New band unlocked.

There are times when I think the writers at certain magazines have contests to use a certain word in a sentence in an article. This morning it is the word eleemosynary. I had to look it up. It means related to or dependent on charity.

I can see I have now joined the esteemed @radiofreetom.bsky.social in getting hate for posting cat pictures when social media should be nonstop agitprop all the time. 🙄
