@Joshstrangehill @thatbilloakley I've said "I please to aim" (from "New Kid on the Block") so much I forget that it's not the actual phrase. I also say, "Not till you're 13" from the booze hound song in the Sherry Bobbins whenever I have an adult drink and my kids ask if they can taste it.

Yes! I was just able to use this line in a conversation, once again! It's my #1 most used Simpsons quote (And it might even be my line) My #2 most used line is Moe's "Pret-ty clevah!" from "Hurricane Neddy" What's YOUR most used Simpsons quote? (Used in regular conversation)

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

@AndrewVU041 @marketheridge Well played sir. Also please interpret the "like" as laughter. For all the changes to this hellsite since the South African takeover, how they haven't expanded their reactions a la the other hellsite is beyond me.

@mikemott42 @marketheridge Well, as we've learned from the Epstein files, many 83 see no difference between themselves and 13-17... and YES, I SET YOU UP FOR THAT ONE.

Just saw this was 30,467 days between solo Alabama no-hitters. I think Tyler Fay can take a bow

@AndrewVU041 @jakirby89 2014 sounds about right. Perhaps not coincidentally the year my wife and I started dating

I am fully convinced that 2019 was the last normal year we ever had. Ever since then, it feels like everything’s broken. Everyone is constantly anxious, time moves too fast, and nothing actually feels real anymore. The world as we knew it is just gone

@jeffwoodhead I like to say, "Are you sure you weren't indoctrinated into believing that?"

English

Jeff Woodhead@jeffwoodhead·25 Ara

As always, anyone complaining about "indoctrination" is only upset that they don't get to do the indoctrinating.

They'll be fine. They'll have Springsteen and Madonna. Yes, it's way before Nirvana, but there'll be U2 and Blondie, and my goodness, there'll even be music still on MTV!

@jeffwoodhead I'd describe it more as "they don't know and don't feel like proving it". Which is basically the problem with this whole microdickwaving exercise

This is basically a confession that they weren't drug traffickers, right?

Phil Stewart@phildstewart

Scoop! - President Donald Trump's administration is moving to send the two survivors of a Thursday strike in the Caribbean to a different country rather than seek long-term military detention for them, four U.S. officials told Reuters on Saturday. w/@idreesali114

@jeffwoodhead And his first TO this season. I had the same thought, but that plus the 93-yard scoring drive had them rattled. Then the fumble happened and flipped the script.

Jeff Woodhead@jeffwoodhead·4 Eki

I initially yelled "BAT IT DOWN" at the TV but this is probably true. That was Simpson's second throw downfield.

10 WIN VANDERBILT@anchorofgold

Have seen multiple AoG commenters suggesting that Hight should have batted it down (since it was fourth down) instead of intercepting it, but this is Patrick Ewing swatting everything at the rim even if it's goaltending. An interception gets in the QB's head more than a batdown.

Hyden states "the audience for a Pavement movie and the audience for musical theater represents two almost entirely separate circles", so as one of the few intersection points, let me say I'm excited for the movie now that I know it exists (Great column here, as usual)

Hey, I wrote a lot of words about a band I love called Pavement — the tunes, the albums, the gold soundz, etc. uproxx.com/indie/pavement…

You can care deeply about the victims of crime and still recognize that due process is a fundamental and critical component of the American legal system.

@jeffwoodhead Technically it was covering up a break-in that got you drumrolled out of office. If you do it in the open, voters don't seem to mind

Jeff Woodhead@jeffwoodhead·19 Mar

Remember when orchestrating a break-in into political opponents' offices got you drumrolled out of office? Good times.

The US Institute of Peace is suing the Trump administration after what it describes as a literal break-in by DOGE and "plundering" of its offices. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

@jeffwoodhead Of course, unless the modelers are waaaaay off (and likely even then), at least one party will absolutely refuse to concede. Let the shitshow begin.

Jeff Woodhead@jeffwoodhead·5 Kas

The strangest thing about this election is that there aren't any vibes really, at least not here in NC. Or rather, there are so many vibes going so many different ways that they all just destructively interfere.

Sean T at RCP@SeanTrende

I don’t know what else we can tell you. The modelers are effectively 50-50. Our tipping point state average has Trump up 0.3%, which is effectively 50-50. Everything beyond that is a vibe or, arguably worse, anecdata. No one should have any confidence. Sorry.
