(Responding to the alt text) Yup, that's in Davenport, and sometimes it's also in the Mississippi River.
Speaking of whom, his memoir, Damn Glad to Meet You: My Seven Decades in the Hollywood Trenches, was quite good, and I'm not one who particularly enjoys most memoirs.

Can't be worse than Madison's drivers talking about the "terrible traffic" here. I've experienced one really bad -- like, major metropolitan area bad-- traffic jam in the 15 years I've lived here. Everything else has been a minor inconvenience.

This guy's not a former Eagle Scout, because once an Eagle Scout, always an Eagle Scout, but he is a disgrace and a poor excuse for one.
"Doc, I'm overweight and depressed." "Say more." "Well, I pig out at every meal. I drink most nights. I walk maybe 2,000 steps a day, tops. I don't lift or exert myself ever. I sleep maybe six hours tops each night. I see friends maybe every other week..." "You know what your problem is? Seed oils."
Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?
If I told my student workers that there was a movie about smuggling a truck full of Coors Beer across state lines, I don't think they'd believe me.
That one's iconic, for sure.

Yes and yes. An astonishing performance.
Hey, I've been here! Just down the river from Oregon, where I attended summer camp a few times.

WSFS needs to get over themselves and professionalize the management of Worldcon. It's too important to leave entirely in hands of whatever bunch of randos happens to win the bid that year.
My student employees were gushing over this ad and they made me watch it and I was like, it's good but they're just ripping off their own khakis ads from the 90s and they were floored

I don't read comics much these days, are explanatory footnotes like this still a thing? And has there ever been a better use of the explanatory footnote than this, from Legion of Super-Heroes (v. 4) #11?

I predict it would be a struggle to get coverage. There's no Congressional equivalent to the White House press corps.

Yes,that's correct, I rewatched S1E8 the other day and it remains the same.
What, no "Pour Some Honey On Me"?
I don't get why this is better than just saying "Thursdays starting Aug. 21"
Nice use of tmesis, but the fact stands.
No, it's an accurate statement that you don't like. But that's OK, you're entitled to not like truths you find unpleasant.
Rites of Passage (1992) is terrific, and Swamp Ophelia (1993) is solid. Kind of a mixed bag after that in my opinion.

What's left of Maryland after Greater Baltimore and the DC Metro area become states would make for a couple of very small states. Maybe the Eastern Shore could be folded into Delaware and everything west of Frederick ceded to West Virginia.

Honestly, Ripken's the only one that comes to mind. Let's Remember Some Guys is not my game, at least where baseball is concerned.
Slipped by would be my guess. How many people do we think recognize the flag of Taiwan when they see it?
Weāve been bugging you all summer to write your Congressional representatives about the National Limb Loss Resource Center. As you might recall, the White Houseās budget request completely defunded the NLLRC...
Wishful thinking?
Interesting to see the Flag of Taiwan on this cover, given that Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations. I have to think that was a deliberate political choice on the part of whomever drew this cover.

Far too many people have never been asked this question, or failed to pay attention to it
Moreover, it ascribes certain key actions only to institutions ā the last-minute redrawing was made the the select committee, the bill was passed by the House ā with only an offhand mention that Republicans control them. Nor does it say that only Republican lawmakers voted for final passage.
In case you were wondering if Murc's Law is still in effect, note that this article speaks extensively about what various Democrats said buand did t quotes just one Republican and mentions by name just two others (one of whose party affiliation was not identified).
If you have to explain why the nickname isn't ableist, it's a) a bad nickname and b) probably ableist.

Mike Parobeck was so good, gone far too soon.
Canāt believe Neil Young outlived him. I always assumed it would beā¦ (puts on sunglasses) ..Neil before Zod.
Wiseman and Toole's Dennis the Menace comics are legit some of the best comics ever published. Seriously underappreciated.
For me it's Jenny Lewis. I'm looking at a playlist I asked Spotify to make based on one of her songs, and I'm seeing among the first ten songs names like Lily Hiatt, Neko Case, Josh Ritter, Craig Finn, Conor Oberst, and Hurray For the Riff Raff. They're all great, but her? Not so much.
For everyone now saying, "The Hugo ceremony forgot to add stairs to the stage," well... Maybe this will give you a small idea of how I feel when they don't have a ramp.

Hm, why is the image not showing up? Let's try again:
The name of this theater is recorded incorrectly in the archive; it was the Audobon Theater, not the Audoson. The facade was preserved and restored and is now part of the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Education & Research Center. Details: www.nycago.org/Organs/NYC/h...
