Charlie Brown, you ignorant slut.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain, Charlie Brown.
You're too short for that gesture, Charlie Brown

Just saw an early release of Wake Up Dead Man, the next Knives Out movie. That may genuinely be one of my favorite movies of all time. It won’t be everyone’s, but I think it’s one of mine.
I’ll have a lot more to say as I process it, ponder on it, and see it again…but that was truly phenomenal.

I wasn’t present for when the car hit 400k miles, but I am reliably informed that my daughter took this picture, and not the driver. ;) (And she cut off the last digit, so it looks like it’s only 40k miles, but I assure you this Prius has seen more adventures than that!)

If I posted on Facebook for people to see what Trump said about Kirk’s murder, the Enlightened Centrists I know would scold me for politicizing the tragedy, and reserve nary a word for what the President of the United States is doing.
Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

if we made immigration work how people think it works that would be the biggest liberalization of immigration in American history
Thinking on this point and there really is maybe a golden opportunity in the near future to make immigration radically simpler. Clear out the queues, make green cards easier, etc. Public opinion is sort of pro immigration right now and it might only go up
3. However, this leads to centering punishing ICE rather than helping immigrants (through regularization of status, increasing visa quotas, etc.). There are viral posts here about the need to prosecute ICE members after Trump leaves office. There aren't any about giving immigrants green cards.

being chronically late or constantly flaking on plans doesn't make you a bad friend. it's a real condition and should be given infinite grace by everyone in your life. being completely unreliable is nothing to be ashamed of. in fact, it may even make you more virtuous than people who are considerate

Alright, I’m flying to London tomorrow. I could use something interesting to watch on the plane. I’ve seen very few movies that have come out in the past few years, so there’s some fertile ground there (but I’m open to anything I can download ahead of time). Suggestions?

Of the shows we saw on Broadway while in New York, obviously Hadestown and Wicked were fantastic. And The Play That Goes Wrong was excellent. But I cannot stop thinking about Dead Outlaw, and it’s a right shame that it didn’t get a longer run.

My fourth time seeing Hadestown, and certainly not my last. This time I got to see it on Broadway. (Myra Molloy as Eurydice was especially phenomenal!)
It’s probably my favorite piece of any kind of media. I love the many layers, and the hopeful re-telling in the face of sure tragedy.

As we are carefully balancing the weights between our three matching suitcases before our flight to New York, I’m thinking fondly of the time in my youth when I flew back to college and checked a trash bag of laundry
