Rewatching Cheers. First season. I forgot Sam played against the Orioles. I love the line “What happened to the Boog guy?”

Mitch McConnell enabled Trump every step of the way, refusing to convict him in impeachment — twice – creating and then immediately disregarding a rule to help him pack the same court that is blocking the effort to hold him accountable for his crimes. Nothing he has to say about Trump, short of an apology to the American people and an endorsement of Kamala Harris, is worthwhile. He is complicit In every Trump crime.

I realize I’m old. But honestly. 20 years ago you might have stumbled a bit on the word reparations, but there’s no way in heck you’d get past “Charlamagne Tha God.” What is even going on in the world?

@estherschindler On the other hand, My Cousin Vinny might be the only movie I rewatch every decade. Not nearly so erudite as a book.

@estherschindler To Say Nothing of the Dog and Parable of the Sower are pretty much the only books I re-read.

Why aren’t there any Tommy Dorsey tribute bands?

Taking the time to try to get a vaccine at Rite Aid should be enough to disabuse anyone of idea of the power of the private sector to reduce inefficiency!

Well this is the first time I’ve run into this. Filling out paperwork for my new doctor.

@deco Glad you came back. i was starting to worry

Took a walk on the next street over this afternoon. Last week there were four Trump flags. (The street is only two blocks long.)

Today there was one.

Too early to tell if it means anything: it’s possible they just didn’t put up the flags today.

Am I remembering correctly? When I was in college, you could get a frozen meal that you could cook in the oven or a frozen meal you could cook in a microwave. One was in an aluminum tray and the other in a plastic one. If you got tired of those technologies, you could buy a frozen meal in a bag that you’d put in a pot of boiling water to cook. I’m pretty sure I remember putting a whole clear bag of beef stroganoff into a pot of boiling water.

They’ve taken away our choices, friends.

Looking for a better title than “Sharing is Caring.”

Still struggling to understand how Neuromancer could be 40 years old.

@dhemery how rude

If I block a channel on Apple News, why does it show up at all? Does “block” mean something different from what I think?

Just checked in to an Embassy Suites where the digital key is not working. They blamed “that Microsoft problem.” Isn’t there a statute of limitations on blaming the crowdstroke thing?

Not sure why this isn’t marked “citation needed”

If i get a text from a stupid politician (or surrogate) on my iphone and I select “Delete and report junk” does that do anything other than take it off my phone? If I could get it to charge them $5 that would be nice.
