Senator Thom Tillis wearing a bolo tie and quoting Chappelle Show during Senate Banking is amazing senioritis energy.

Everybody is focused on Cracker Barrel and nobody is talking about how Nature Valley got rid of the traditional orange packaging for peanut butter granola bars

It’s 2025 and we still have coffee cups that leak if you accidentally line up the spout with the seam. I should know better by now, but come on!

Not sure what this says about me, but we watched OG Mary Poppins with the kids tonight and I think the character I identify with the most is Mr. Banks.

Senate Judiciary Cmte Members holding a masterclass in using poster board sized charts today. We truly love to see it.

Here is my advice on how best to follow the 2024 election: Never tweet

Considering doing the @jon_bois “It’s college football Saturday” bit, but instead tweeting “The only poll that matters is on Election Day” every morning at 9 AM for the next 2 weeks

@willburgess11 I would have liked to have heard more about the new NFL kickoff rules. Missed opportunity by the moderators.

Obviously, you go with the audio from the baseball game and watch the debate for facial reactions to try to figure out what they’re talking about

Weird how there isn’t a YouTube TV splitscreen with the Braves/Padres wildcard game and the VP debate at the same time

This might mean Texas is actually back?

Made a last minute decision on Friday afternoon to make guacamole on Saturday. Bought a bag of avocados at a regular ole grocery store and cut them open today to find 6 perfectly ripe, no bruises, flawless. First time in the history of guacamole this has happened.

Arguing about who is better at golf should be an Olympic sport

Is there an iPhone setting I can utilize that would prevent me from accidentally re-dialing my 6th most-recent call when the current call hangs up 1/2 second before I press the red button?

@jasonsdozier Have you watched it? Curious if you think they got the mayor right.

@JORouke Meant to ask you about this. You were the first person I thought about when I read Netflix was doing an adaptation.

So, I finished A Man in Full on Netflix last night. I’m generally positive on the series. It’s a well done interpretation of the book. I think they nailed the general idea of Atlanta as Wolfe intended(1/2)

Also, shout out to to the Peachtree Heights East Duck Pond in Episode 5. I can now say I have sat on the same bench where Raymond Peepgrass and Herb Richman discussed a fictional real estate deal.

(No spoilers): I didn’t love how they changed the ending. I thought it got too far away from the “stoicism” story line in the book. However, I’ve always thought Wolfe was too willing to wrap up his novels with a nice pretty bow so I guess this is the alternative (2/2)

As someone who was forced to adopt a new area code in 1995 I can’t help but feel a little bitter that nobody will ever celebrate 770 day…

@MattBerry05 Saw this on a MARTA bus stop ad recently and had to peep the streaming service. Have you listened to the podcast from a few years ago?
