SIAP... The Grammys tribute to Paul Simon tonight reminded me that this was a cover

If it's stuck in my head, it gets to be stuck in yours too:

For the sake of comparison- I've had these for about a year or so with no complaints: https://www.amazon.com/Soundcore-Cancelling-Technology-Personalized-Bluetooth/dp/B08G4K8CY8

Ummm... God didn't even raise His own kid.

"Oddly Specific Porn Requests" could be a new Surly motto

Fourth'd. When I visited Frontera Grill, I had mole' that was so amazing that I swore out loud in front of my mother-in-law.

Possibly one of the best typos in the history of this thread.

Quick update... Oldest daughter has moved home from college, and brought a box of mugs from her apartment with her. So, you can readily add another 13 coffee cups to the previous total... but now I have a place to move mugs to when I take them out of the cabinet.

This... Goddammit. Even though we live in Seattle, only my wife and oldest daughter drink coffee/tea. Not me or the youngest or the dog. Walked through the house last week and ended up double fisted like that photo... 60% of them with at least a quarter inch of liquid left at the bottom. After I ran the dishwasher and put things away, a quick inventory revealed that we have 35 coffee cups in the cabinet; a number which doesn't include any from the two formal settings (fancy eatin' plates, for the cavalcade of celebrities and dignitaries we host) or any of the @15 travel mugs and bottles. I'm going to start throwing away one mug a week... No one will notice until mid-November

Hell, this is so iconic that I forgot it was a CCR cover.

I won't say this is the "greatest" live cover of this song, but it seemed appropriate for today:

That's OK- she doesn't know how either.

Florida school bans Amanda Gorman’s inaugural poem after parental complaint For the record, here's the poem in question: When day comes, we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry. A sea we must wade. We braved the belly of the beast. We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace, and the norms and notions of what “just” is isn’t always justice. And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it. Somehow we do it. Somehow we weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished. We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president, only to find herself reciting for one. And, yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine, but that doesn’t mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect. We are striving to forge our union with purpose. (selectively spoilered for longcat) When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame and unafraid. The new dawn balloons as we free it. For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.

WaPo: An analysis of book challenges from across the nation shows the majority were filed by just 11 people

And he's definitely "on brand" for the folks in Trump's universe: Anchorman and Modern Family star Fred Willard arrested after exposing himself at Hollywood adult movie theatre (RIP to a comedic legend)

Well, he won't need a stepladder to get in it for a change

Running for president? In those heels, he ain't running for shit....

Man, you better stay away....

CSB- My brother in law's father in law works at Kettle, so we occasionally get to "test" some of the upcoming flavors. Pepperoncini was one that we all agreed on, and Mike always brings a bag of those over to the house when we're in town. This was my favorite: But they changed the flavor between the test process and production. Now? Meh. Relatedly, from the Northwest: The surprise is that they're terrible. Ironically, this describes the flavor pretty well.

FWIW To be fair, it could also just be Thursday...

I'm not sure it ever was in the first place....

Because they weren't your kids?
