During the height of COVID, some of us formed a “dad pod” where we would get together outside and distanced to swap stories and drink beers.

Are you telling me there are no turtles involved?

The Greatest right behind it somehow makes perfect sense.

Sigh...I never figured out the first meta answer. Are you going to post the answers at some point? Ideally, I'd love to know what that one was so I can try the rest of the puzzle. Thanks!

Dominique’s turned me into a soft-shell crab lover for life!

Dante’s was so great we drove from Carrollton on prom night for dinner.

If I recall they advertised on their menu that among the staff something like 40 languages were spoken.

You're going to recover in time for the Friendship show at the EARL, right?

Probably Linklater for me.

Thanks for the tips! I’ll keep working on it…

I cannot figure out the meta answer for the first puzzle to save my life. It's driving me nuts.

They hate the “reparations” part because it requires admitting that you were wrong.

COLD REALITY

Are they just handing everything over to Jesse Waters now?

Did she just Google “who is a public figure who is more deluded than I am” or do they have some kind of history?

Google result with wrong information about college football because they outsourced to AI.

This is such a bad search result and Google should be embarrassed.

What really grinds my gears is that Google was doing really well returning structured data results and blew it up with AI. Gigantic unforced error.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. This came on in the car today and I meant to look him up when we got to our destination but forgot.

Erik Erikson was on @wsbradio.bsky.social echoing unsubstantiated rumors that the gunman was shouting jihadist language as he attacked. He treated this as fact. Shame on him and shame on every station that airs his BS.

Test from New Yorker email touting a top music list of 2025 with reviewer Amanda Petrusich describing her top pick Geese. "“Getting Killed,” which I write about in this week’s issue, is a gorgeous and provocative record. For me, there is something ineffably but profoundly New York-y about this band, in both comportment and sound. It’s been a while since the city produced an act that feels so emblematic of the place itself: a little cocky, a little tough, self-assured, very smart, and, on occasion, shockingly lovely."

I've always enjoyed Amanda Petrusich's writing and she's turned me on to a lot of great music but the assertion that Geese sounds like a New York band (however you define that) is baffling to me. They don't sound like they're from anywhere, which is part of the magic of the record.

It seems like common courtesy to ask how someone pronounces their own name if I've only seen it written.

Unlike unfamiliar dishes in a restaurant that I can look up and see an arrived-at consensus, there are so many ways to fuss names up.
