Look, you can declare that you were always intellectually above Beavis and Butthead or (I guess) you can say that you’ve always loved South Park and still watch it. You can’t really do both

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

The night of July 4 is always a great example of how selective law enforcement is

Aug freaked out on the bedtime bathroom walk and wouldn’t move. 15-minute stalemate. Id still be there if someone in a house down there hadn’t heard me cajoling and come out with cheese

Wild story about environmental successes out in Morris, which I mostly think of as a town where you spend a lot of time looking for something to do www.wsj.com/us-news/clim...

July 4, 1947: A throng of Minneapolis bus depot passengers unknowingly foreshadow the space’s First Avenue Mainroom phase. (Minneapolis Tribune)
A scan of a press photo I picked up this year. It shows travelers at the Greyhound Depot, Minneapolis (now the live music venue First Avenue), at 2:59 pm on Christmas Eve, 1952. The photo ran in the Tribune the next morning.

A July 4 thread on the UCMJ, a duty to obey/disobey unlawful orders, and the effects the Trump v. US decision might have on military decision making.
Thinking more about UCMJ, IHL, etc., re the Trump v. US holding, esp. in questions of law governing unlawful orders.

I, for one, support fireworks. Why, I have a lit M-100 Silver Salute in my pocket right now...

I try to be tolerant but if you live within the Minneapolis city limits and you set of fireworks you’re a fucking idiot and I hope you have a week of bad luck for each boom or pop

2 am. The Gunflibt Trail. Driving back to camp on Devil Track Lake after an emergency high-speed run to a vet in Duluth bc my dog had an allergic reaction to a bug bite. A moose wandered into the road and stopped and stared me down. It was huge and its eyes glowed in my headlight

isn’t it wild how a nontrivial amount of current political discourse—like by no means all of it, but certainly a discernible strain—rests on a guy doing a Nixon impression

Ok, after an absolutely dire “Heroes” and a bad Ziggy, they’re nailing “Diamond Dogs.” Seems like the more fringe-canon the song is, the better they do with it

I don’t know that “Heroes” was written to be dedicated to the troops

I don’t know that I agree with the interpretive choices being made by this Bowie tribute band
