Hard to pick a favorite.

The Mountain Goats - the Sunset Tree or Tallahassee

Arcade Fire - the Neon Bible

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it in People

IIRC, the Intercept started during the first Obama term.

Context: I have an iPhone 14 and I drive a 2012 Fit. The Fit first gen came with a USB port that connects to the stereo.

When I connect my phone to the stereo in my car, 4/5 times the iPhone will launch the Music app, and play the first track in my library. That’s been true for quite some time (since iPhone 7 at least.) I listen to podcasts on a non-Apple app, and I listen at 1.5x speed. Since the iPhone 12, when I disconnect the phone from the car or turn the car off, there’s a 9/10 chance Music will start playing, at 1.5x speed. This clearly has something to do with Core Audio and the old dock connection system in iOS, and it will almost certainly not be addressed because it’s only going to affect older cars that don’t have 3rd party CarPlay stereos installed, and Apple only cares about CarPlay now.

A sandwich I used to make when I worked at a deli. Pastrami, turkey, and provolone, melted, on a toasted onion roll with coleslaw and Russian dressing.

Say it with me now, you all know the words:

Every Accusation Is A Confession

I would argue it’s actually congealed demon jizz but it’s definitely not fucking chocolate.

The Dollop: now with 90% less child murder than Behind the Bastards!

My thought was you make him a black South African who lost his family to apartheid related violence.

“Fuck, the Olympics are taking up every public space in town. Let’s go see a movie.”

Brunch: Asian pork and rice Dinner: Korean hibachi (an irresponsible amount of meat) with traditional sides (kimchi, broccoli, japchae, bean sprouts, etc.)

Superhuman charisma.

I was cautiously optimistic about Harris before, now I’m regular optimistic. Walz seems like a good dude who will appeal to working class voters, having been a schoolteacher and a union member, and able to be folksy with a genuine-ness that DJT and JD couchfucker couldn’t muster in a dozen lifetimes.

I could swear they have a policy about firing on their own people if the situation warrants it…

Harry Potter and the poorly-constructed magic ruleset.

Not only because of that, but it was definitely a factor.

Ah yes, Durst’s Law.

Build housing that would be rent-to-own. The only qualification would be paying first month’s rent and a deposit, then if you stay for 15 years you own the place. Price it for minimal profit (5-10%) and build/renovate a new set every year.

I brought a sample of some porchetta I made to a coworker and he said he was leaving his wife for me. One of the best compliments I’ve received.
