The Swamp

Massachusetts schools closed for the rest of the year, which means there are several students I will probably never see again.

There may be some creativity ways to slow down the sale by helping them fail the building inspection.

I saw the pineapple in season one, episode one. Never since. Season 2 Epiode 11, Gus used my favorite pickup line for the first time -- you hear about Pluto? That's messed up, right?

Also it looks like there will be new episodes on USA in the fall

EdRomero

Okay, Black Columbo

I thought I was going to get through a lot of new shows, but I've been recording the Psych marathon and that's all I've been watching. Psych has been on a lot at our home, too. I love Maggie Lawson. Same. On both counts. A lot of people look for the hidden pineapple every episode, but they also see...

I'm just glad the window wasn't on the Yankees and charged the mound after being hit.

The retro NES thing isn't expensive, but you can't add games to the console. The controller cable is short too. I'd actually suggest spending the little extra and getting the Super NES mini, as you can jailbreak it and add both Super NES and NES games to it fairly easily. You are both wrong on this...

And I personally wouldn't buy a PS4 right now. The PS5 is supposedly fairly close.

Yes. Although learning Slack for the quarantine has been great for work

Agreed. So many gold star comments. Still laughing about Paul Anka

I'm thinking about jumping back into video games, but I'm way too indecisive and confused. Some things I've considered: *Going old school and buying a NES classic so I can play Techmo and Mario but it looks like it's tough to purchase this. *Getting a Switch instead so I can play Mario Kart, Smash B...

If whistle blowing was still allowed, there must be some doozies about behind the scene stuff going on with this:

84. Grey Street (Busted Stuff). Song in its original form, which included three verses and four choruses, would be ~60 spots higher. But it hasn’t been played that way since 2002. Truncated Grey Street is Actual Grey Street, and Actual Grey Street is a shell of itself at the height of its powers. U...

No Satellite at all? 83. Satellite (Under the Table and Dreaming). Back-to-back classics here — probably ranked much lower than many would have either. I like it, I’ve just never loved it. Satellite’s guitar riff is no doubt among the three or four most recognizable Matthews has ever written and is...

Ooh, I just saw Crash Into Me is in a play-in game. He's the type of guy who complains they played too many popular songs at a concert. Deep tracks only!

This will be as popular as the Best Tom Brady games bracket I posted a few weeks ago, but here's one for DMB songs with a long article ranking each song.

1. Back then it was a big deal to see any actress get naked.
2. Seeing the nerdy girl in a show becoming a slut is fun.
3. So what if she was the 3rd hottest on the show? You take what you can get.

Am I the only one who saw this movie when it came out? Sophomore year of college, and the excitement we all had to see Jessie Spano naked in sex scenes was must see material. It was sooooo bad, nobody cared about anything other than how painfully bad it was. The big sex scene had everyone laughing ...

https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1248637226268983297 This thread is my next fear. I feel like I'm going crazy and the temptation to get out a visit people is getting stronger and stronger. This is where we need a strong leader to convince us to hang in there and stay in a bit longer. Instead t...

Sorry BFJ. It's so frustrating seeing the effects of this on students in need of more support. I'm a long way from the Early Intervention world, but right now there is whole population of 2 year olds not getting essential services when they need it most in their development. And of course, all ages ...

Just finished the last book in Philip Pullman's Darkest Materials series and came away disappointed. The series starts off as a children's book and then turns into a deep philosophy/religious examination. I wonder if my feeling on the book is being influenced by life being so fucked up now -- it's n...

A little good news for me -- Dave Matthew must be bored out of his mind because he keeps doing performances. Tonight, he'll be doing a tribute to John Prine on the Colbert Show (I'm guessing Angel of Montgomery). Saturday night, he's doing Farm Aid with Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and Mellencamp. The...

I had no problem with Zoom other than my usual few instances of 30 seconds of not hearing anything due to an unstable internet connection or high CPU use, which happens whenever I use Zoom. I just have to hope nothing important is being said during those times of frozen silence.

Pretty certain warren will be the VP nominee. She’d be the best pick but Biden’s donors will push hard for Harris, Klobuchar or Whitmer. They are the three most likely IMO. I don't know how he taps Warren, given her big thing is CFPB and his is banks and credit cards. Additionally, she hails from a...

We're doing jackbox games on Zoom with our students next week. I wonder if I can use tonight's game for staff training hours.

This is a fun follow and Federer is commenting on a lot of videos. And Roddick makes a comment:

Going to bars -- that was nice. The bar was Drink and I was disappointed they got rid of the giant blocks of ice each bartender chopped away at to give you the perfect shaped cube for your drink. Drink is fucking awesome. First place I ever had a “Toronto”. Haven’t been there since 2012 or so. What...

I think it's just Ryen Russillo who is close to Simmons and the PMT guys. Can't really blame him for trying to cash in for opportunities with both.

Christ, I'm trying to avoid looking at this stuff, but I think this is a meltdown:

I apologize for nothing.

Simmons and Rusillo are redrafting NBA drafts and I listened to the 1996 one, which was really interesting. They picked Nash and Ray Allen (along with Kobe) over Iverson.
