The Swamp

My kids are big coaster fans so we hit Hershey and Great Adventure every summer. Is it worth going there before it closes? It’s a little more than an hour from where I am.

No. It’s an absolute shithole.

In the first movie he has the walls of a conference room covered with numbers and is doing huge computations in his head. Pretty math-y to me.

I liked the first movie. Not because he was autistic, just found it entertaining. This one was described as more of a buddy cop movie. I may stream it at ...

What's the reaction to The Accountant?

I liked it. And I'm pretty sure my autistic son has seen it and liked it. Nobody expects a movie like that to be totally realistic. But I didn't find it offensive or filled with ignorant stereotypes or anything. It was quite nice to see an autistic ...

No surprise that was walked back also.

Yeah, but if the quiz felt no pain, it's kosher, right?

Have a shekel.

I saw a kosher slaughtering once. The cow didn't seem thrilled.

Very. But Adley doesn’t seem like a future superstar so what do you do? He’s another Matt Wieters at this point.

The window is now closed.

Adorable video Degen. Thanks for sharing.

Give that girl a hug for me Giff.

I have found libby to be less than useful. At least at my library (which shouldn't matter) has a bad selection and it's long waits for even halfway popular books. I don't like buying so many audiobooks but with over an hour of total commute at the moment it's been worth it.

I used Libby as a ...

Elly De La Cruz with a ridiculous lay out and catch against the O’s.

James by Percival Everett. Great book. Do NOT listen to it with volume up at stop lights.

The 3 classes we were scheduled to teach for Homeland Security next week were cancelled due to the federal DEI ban.

Oh look the Ravens take a physical anomaly that dropped to them in the 20s, what else is new. I don’t know if they need a nose-tackle type or not, I’m just going to assume they’d take Grant and figure it out. While I don’t think Grant was all that dominant, he is an impossibly large man who moves ...

The cure for any squirrel problems is to switch the feed to hot meat (shelled sunflower seeds covered in cayenne pepper). Birds have no sensitivity to capsaicin, squirrels do.

funny thing is .. it was after i added the pepper to the feed that they ganged up (there were at least 6 of them ...

Max pointed at a tractor trailer carrying brand new black roll off dumpsters today and yelled, "look Cybertrucks".

I'm a vape guy. I have some pre-rolleds around for when I want a quick puff, but that shit stinks and I don't smoke at home.
The edibles were a treat from my buddy who I went to the show with.

Feels like "and the show will be acoustic" is the greatest test of whether you really, really like an artist.

I’m not typically an edibles guy and 40 usually does me right. I wanted that little extra. GOT IT.

I took about 60 mg of solvent-free edibles before the Trey show. Listening back to the recording of the show and there are definitely blank spots in there for me. Good stuff.

Intimate venue is right. He's amazing. I saw him once with Sugar and once solo w a band. Glad you went. $30 is a great price, fuck those fees.

Saw Trey Anastasio solo at the Warner Theatre in DC on Friday. Him and an acoustic for 75% of the show. Joined by a his co-creator on piano for the end of the show.

Very cool way to hear songs I love. Intimate venue. Cool stuff.

Fuck off Giff. I’m sharing.

They called it a speedball on the other side of the tracks where Bruce grew up. You wouldn’t understand.

Believe that's 151. It's a wonder I still roam the earth after college.

I just instinct vomited a little at the thought of Bacardi 151 nights.
