I’d prefer their airplane crashes, but I’d rather not be on it. Soooo, good luck to the Legion of Doom…I guess? 🤙

The CR debate is over. It's time to move on.
We need to focus on our common task, on the urgent task:
Fighting Trump and his assault on the rule of law; resisting the cruelty and indecency of Trumpism; thwarting the plot to replace liberal democracy with autocracy.
Hoc opus, hic labor est.

Seems to me the biggest tell is that the artist put the sinister looking eyebrow on the poisonous one.
I didn’t know you were supposed to be able to tell dangerous snakes by their facial expressions.
Anyway, stay away from snakes that look like assholes, I guess.

It is a sad fact of life that practicing with a metronome will actually make you a much better guitar player. And it will also make you feel, initially, like you're the slowest, least rhythmic person ever to pick up the instrument.

It’s probably good that car headlights can now be brighter than 7000 exploding suns, I’m probably wrong for not seeing the benefit. Sorry, I’ll do better.

Negro Leagues slugger John Beckwith was born 125 years ago today. I believe he is the single greatest player outside the Hall. His slash line in the major Negro Leagues was .350/~.400/~.580 as a 3B/SS. I joined @jmiloch.bsky.social on Pod of Fame to discuss him. open.spotify.com/episode/5sFX...

The violent scum he’s referring to surely must himself and his cabinet picks, right?
Incoming president declares that "violent SCUM" has "infiltrated all aspects of our government and our Nation" and must be stopped through "strength and powerful leadership"... This won't end well.

TERRY GROSS: “I’m going to ask you for a little lesson in etiquette. Do I call you President Carter, Mr. President, or our former President Jimmy Carter?”
JIMMY CARTER: “One of the nice things about our country is that you can call me anything you want to.”

Mind blown: The Christmas song from Love Actually originally appeared 10 yrs earlier in Four Weddings and a Funeral! Both films by Richard Curtis—I always assumed the song was made just for Love Actually.

President Biden: "[T]o all of the young people in this nation and for anyone in search of what it means to live a life of purpose and meaning – the good life – study Jimmy Carter, a man of principle, faith, and humility. He showed that we are great nation because we are a good people."

Jimmy Carter Was a Successful (Conservative) President
Common conceptions of Carter are all wrong because they don’t acknowledge a crucial reality: he was a conservative.

I read Jonathan Alter’s biography of Jimmy Carter a few years ago. It was simply amazing how he never stopped going 100% in all that life offered: learning to downhill skill at 62, climbing Kilimanjaro at 64, picking up snorkeling at 90.
RIP.
