The Swamp

While discussing brackets, I mentioned “that Bird-Magic Final Four” at my partner meeting yesterday. No one knew what I was talking about. Only one of my partners had even been born yet. I remember reading about it... That killed me working in a law firm, talking to partners and realizing they were...

When I’m uh ‘irregular’ I just mix in some Miralax into a 6oz glass of water. Belt it, and then make sure I’m within walking distance to a bathroom over the next hour or so. Never tried a laxative, but Metamucil is pretty fantastic. No need to worry about staying near a bathroom, but when you have ...

oof My #1#2 has moved from a convenient early morning slot to like 8pm and it's f'd everything up. I want my old schedule back :( The Swamp is just a couple years away from a thread "share your surgery scars." We are getting old. We are probably ready for a thread on our secrets to stayin...

So this is kind of bizarre but I like the Sports Explains The World podcast and started listening to the latest episodes “When Life Gives You Chet Lemon” and I know the person that the episode is about. We worked together for years in Ann Arbor. Even weirder, I started listening driving through Sai...

The funny thing is that I assume he does this sort of thing to make himself seem more relatable to people. But, I think it actually works the opposite way.

Weirdos can’t act normal, and when they try, it’s worse.

My son is getting them out in two weeks. That’s a thing that makes me feel old.

I think that there's a very high likelihood that the fact that the core of the youth movement on the MNT knew him and liked him played a role in him getting on the roster. And I think it should. It's damned hard to build chemistry in a national team, as they usually practice for only a few days tog...

The other guy making a serious case at the nine/striker slot is Haji Wright. Assisted on the tying and then scored the winner in Coventry's epic FA Cup win to push them into the finals at Wembley. I wish he wasn't thrown into the mix last cycle, as he kind of hurt his stock. He looks ready, IMO. Th...

Ugly scenes this weekend. My daughter's game ended a couple minutes early with what looked like a certain ACL tear for a girl on the other team. Non-contact injury, girl was down screaming for 5 minutes. Eventually loaded into the back of a Gator and driven off the field to the parking lot. Just saw...

I can’t wait for New York to seize Trump Tower to cover the E Jean Carrol damages and someone to buy it at an embarrassingly low price, then rename it Obama or Biden Tower.

Had a bit of a rough Thursday and completely missed this roster coming out. I think I just assumed Aaronson would be in regardless of form because he has such a clear niche role on the team. He’s in now, de La Torre out with an injury. And Haji Wright in for Sargent. Sounds like Sargent is just a m...

I've been at work at my job for just under 3 months and my commander has already given me major kudos and said, in front of people, "So do I have to get you some type of retention bonus or something because I really don't want you to leave anytime soon." It completely caught me off guard....

This is more - shit that makes you feel better about getting old. It's an article about folks in their 80s and 90s still skiing.

Wow. I feel comparatively dumber from reading that. Fucking lie-spreading shitheads. The part when they’re denying germ theory and the body just needs to push out toxins. These dumbasses are promoting the four humours theory of medicine. I feel really cheated. I used to think Rodgers was a bright i...

I was listening to the latest Pod Save America with guest host Jane Coaston. She said that what's happening to TikTok with this bill is the exact same thing that happened with Grindr 4 years ago.

So now we’re focused on the evils of Tik Tok? Fortunately, there are aren't any more important issues ongoing in our country, right? Right? I mean, the critiques are fair, but they were also equally fair 4 or 5 years ago. And back then, Tik Tok wasn't nearly the behemoth it is today. Seems similar ...

Only one episode in, but, yep, very fun.

Should I watch the movie first?

Darnold was also like 17 years old when they drafted him. I've decided I'm convinced a team can't be wrong that many times in the top rounds of the draft with different FOs each time, the org just ruins them. Except Wilson.

Given that a majority of people (presumably?) don't really follow politics and that Republicans wouldn't put Britt in that position if they didn't have some sort of plan for her, SNL introducing her to a group of people as a joke right from the jump can't hurt.

OK it took me a second to get what Favreau was saying here. He needed to edit his tweet to say, “…needs to feel feared, not humiliated.” Cuz it sorta sounds like the lesson here is on us to respect him rather than to mock him.

I had to read that a second time, too.
