What I learned today: 1/ The cleanout that's in about the right place is 2" PVC with a crossthreaded brass cap around an incredibly corroded galvanized steel bolt. I'm gonna need to cut into the wall to replace the bit of pipe with the cleanout.

I really should print up "If you had a dick as small as mine, you'd need a truck like this too" bumper stickers and start slapping them onto vehicles I find at bars.

OK, that's pretty cool. Mostly because, yep, a lot of my dad's side of the family lives not far from Columbus, but there were a lot of answers where it was one thing when growing up but then I moved somewhere else and the term was better (like "feeder road" or "Lookie-Lou") so I adopted that one.

Am I the only person who sees the Sackler decision as "I know it sounds bad being personally liable, but, guys, you get to start over with your lawyers and when you're back here in a decade the court will be Alito, Thomas, and seven Groypers, and as long as you give Clarence a hit of the goods..." ?

Mourning the death of Kinky Friedman is a much better use of my evening than watching the debate.

I don't understand why Biden doesn't just immediately appoint three people to the Supreme Court who will swear under oath on TV that they will not take bribes. Surely this is not a terrifically unpopular position.

Thinking about the issues is fine, but really, "who wants which side?" is a perfectly good heuristic, almost always. For instance, should RETVRN69, who approvingly quotes Seneca The Younger saying "f--- them n----rs!" (minus hyphens obv.) be in favor of it, I can confidently decide "NOPE".

Of course Thomas was the dissent on the domestic violence guns case. Just in case he doesn't get to overturn _Loving v. Virginia_ he needs a backup plan. I wouldn't want to be married to Ginny Thomas either.

It strikes me that _Cryptmaster_ (which is an excellent game if you're into that sort of thing, as I am) could have been entitled "Slay-This Beacon Teaches Typing".

Cürsëd Rünë Equal parts: Malört 151-proof rum (Lemon Hart in my case) Capelleti (you could use Campari, I guess) Lime Surprisingly not awful, and if you don't hate Malört, not even bad.

out-of-context quote for tonight: He told me stories of Camaros and J.W. Dant When I got a little older I wouldn't And now Daddy can't.

My roommate is a little obsessed with the TV series "Bridgerton." She is not particularly amused that I keep forgetting its name, and fall back to referring to it as "Fucks and Fuckability."

This morning I had a dream that I had written a devastatingly incisive parody version of "Stairway to Heaven." Upon awakening, I could not remember any of the parodic elements, so the net effect was just, I earwormed myself with "Stairway" all day.

When I come to London I visit the brilliant Mr. J Best www.instagram.com/mrj.best & today he created a masterpiece inspired by: “The skeleton dimensions I shall now proceed to set down are copied verbatim from my right arm, where I had them tattooed”—Moby Dick Chapter 102 “A Bower in the Arsacides”
