Yesterday was my six-year anniversary for my defense. I'm almost certain I had one of the last in-person events on Michigan's campus that Spring.

So that's how Sydney Sweeney debuts in the MCU.

Sorry, sorry. Deleting. Sorry.

Kirill Kaprizov scores from a knee while falling after his first shot bounced off the boards behind the net and back in front

The Tom Emmer School of Public Relations (heavily derogatory)

Yes. But not as a major character, so that's a pretty good pull.

It sounds like a bored pep band bit to me. Like they've got one guy that can scream sing extremely well and they can't play songs with instruments as a distraction.

Your AEOK JND 0.0049 Okay this is genuinely impressive. You're well below the standard JND of 0.02. The CIE should be sending you a job offer. Or at least a certificate. Share result Again. I can do better. Read the post about this.

What's My JND? 0.0049

Missed a couple because I didn't realize how far over the difference could be and had to guess

That's Elvis Costello, we're talking about the guy who wanted to know what was said by a fox

Nico. Sturm.

I think it's a personnel thing and that goes back to Bluder days. An Iowa five always has: a well-coached post defender (Gustafson, Czinano, now Heiden), a defensive guard that shutdown the opposing shooter (Gabby, Kylie). Add onto that Stuelke to handle a second big and Stremlow as a JOAT.

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

What the fuck is a Bobby Brink

Kevin Harlan's father too.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli definitely hitting the Spurs Up hand signal.

@hollerin-bout-the-cocks.com has a new favorite F1 driver.

MFW I find out they come in other colors:

I had been a ride or die user of Pilot G2 Extra Fine (Blue) for like 20 years and then I got some work-branded Sharpie S-Gels and I've been converted.

I still use the Pilots (in RGB) for color coding notes or highlighting parts of research articles.

Buddy Guy: Tiny Desk Concert YouTube video by NPR Music

In case you're wondering if you'd like to see absolute blues legend Buddy Guy play a few classics & later be joined by Miles Caton & watch them play amazing versions of two of the songs featured in Sinners, the answer is yes, yes you would like to see that

This, but about a year after my then-fiancee and I moved away from Minnesota for me to go to grad school.

Honestly, it was Brink and then Brink a second time when Alan Page showed up.

You couldn't put the two judges on together?

Dot's has taken a dive since Hershey purchased them and moved production out of Velva, ND

Is Haaland to Ekitike the move, since I already own Watkins (who I'm also sick of)?

2FT and no other flags, 6 ARS+City assets.

I'm 110% sure the moment Zendaya fell for Tom was during his Lip Sync Battle performance and the lesson for young men to learn from this is women find it incredibly hot when you are so comfortable with your masculinity that you can preform effortlessly in drag.

There's still a rogue Hawkins in paragraph 4, as well.

(I'm an engineer, I have no write to copy-edit anyone.)

Perfect crystallization of Michigan's problems and as much as I have homesickness for my grad school days in A2, this all just gives me the ick about giving UM any of my time or money.

I was briefly worried Michigan and the Falcons had hired the Twins new bullpen coach.

Thankfully it's LaTroy Lewis, the second most famous LaTroy.

The last Marine to leave Vietnam has died. Juan Valdez was 88. As North Vietnamese troops closed in, he was the last Marine to board the last helicopter out of Saigon. “He was a model leader,” said one who served with him.

We're all trapped in the twisted reality of a few because they lack the imagination to see other people as human. That's literally it.

If FIFA did, for some reason, regularly give out a Peace Prize, you’d think #1 on the list of criteria for potential winners would be “do not start a war with another nation in the World Cup, directly before the start of the World Cup”
