I'm more woke than you, bruh.

Should be noted that shipping through that strait (and thus the Suez Canal) was only around 40% of pre-Houthi attack levels as late as last fall (can't find more recent numbers).

graph from Reuters showing shipping through the Suez Canal and Bab al-Mandeb dropping from ~3.5 million metric tons a month before January 2024 to ~1.5 million metric tons a month as of October 2025.

Spencer's failure to make a choice as to which is worst has forced me to donate in the name of Make Spencer Eat Cheese University. May he suffer the pains and perils of limburger.

Donation to Make Spencer Eat Cheese University because Spencer's answer was non-responsive to the question.

Woooo! Suck it Auburn! We'll lose another 142 games in 13 years and STILL have better fans. #charitibundi

Umass has donated $22 to the charity bowl than Auburn. This is because Auburn has worse fans than even the worst team in college football history.

Scott Brown@habeasdorkus· Apr 20

@edsbs.bsky.social A penny for each UMass win since rejoining the FBS, and a dollar for each loss over that same time. $142.28 + processing fees. Good god we should never have left the FCS.

Last year's worst umps. Laz Diaz is also a guy who's been around forever.

The bottom 10 umpires on ump scorecard by "correct calls above expected". Negative numbers are bad. CB Bucknor is 3rd with -20.34, behind only Laz Diaz (-26.96) and Andy Fletcher (-33.39). They each worked behind home plate for roughly 30 games, so that's one more blown call than an average ump per game.

@502eire.lol Screenshotting this because I will definitely be nowhere near the top of Blooski Bracketz after the second round games.

Dawn's Bluesky brackets top 10 after the first round of March Madness. I'm tied for 2nd!

Really good blog, Joe.

You can salute each other like children playing war games, and you can speak platitudes about freedom, but doing so, to me, misses the whole point. Freedom for what? If you believe deeply in American freedom, then you must believe in those things that make freedom worthwhile, no? What are those things? How about teachers who dedicate their lives to educating our children? How about the Grand Ole Opry? The Apollo Theater? Broadway? How about the first responders who arrive in the bleakest moments?

How about Casablanca and Sinners and Singing in the Rain?

How about the neighbors who mow the lawn of the elderly couple two houses down? How about the waiter or waitress who remembers your order at the diner, the bookstore owner who is dying to tell you about a book you will absolutely love, the bar band breaking into “Sweet Caroline,” and the way everyone in the place sings along? How about the crossing guards who know every kid’s name, the auto mechanics who tell you that, actually, the fix was a lot simpler than you thought, the mother who brings orange slices for everyone at Little League games?

How about chili in Cincinnati, pizza in New York, clam chowder in New England, hot dogs in Chicago, a Polish Boy in Cleveland, barbecue in Kansas City, gumbo in New Orleans, fajitas in Texas, fish tacos in San Diego?

How about road crews out there in the blazing heat, holding up traffic and testing our patience, while they’re paving tomorrow’s paths? How about the electricians and plumbers and heating and air folks who make problems go away? How about high school marching bands on a Friday night, the reserved shelves at the Public Library, the way you can recognize every baseball diamond from a plane flying 10,000 feet over a city?

How about The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye and Where the Crawdads Sing and Charlotte’s Web?

And how about playing for THAT?

The "I has a Bucket" meme of a large seal holding a blue bucket, and then saying "Noooo, they be stealin' my Bucket!" as an aquarium staffer holds the bucket.

Interesting how early Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes is a bit of a synthesis of the two (this strip is from within the first half year or so):

A weekday strip of Calvin & Hobbes. Calvin is happily hammering nails into a coffee table. His mother runs over, distressed, yelling "What are you doing?!" Calvin looks at his handiwork, and then replies "Is this a trick question?"

Aww, he looks like my Charlie's brother - definitely looks like a lab/pit mix.

Buddy, if I wanted to post a heavily processed image of a New England town, I could have.

Picturesque but color corrected shot of Stowe, VT in the fall.

Yeah, we got those too. This is just a plain Google Street View shot, if I wanted to get fancy I'd get a shot of South Royalton VT in autumn.

Google Maps street view of Lee, MA's main street. A charming small downtown area with lots of shops and trees lining the street.

I love my dog, and he's a very sweet and good boy, but he's not going to have a good time on a plane even if he's gone full lapdog. Meanwhile, he enjoys the kennel I take him to (Porter Road Pet Care in East Longmeadow, for any Pioneer Valley folks) and I can travel to see my nephews in Kentucky.

I'd never seen Gehry's home before, but damn if that man didn't live (literally inside) his architectural ideals.

Frank Gehry's home for four decades, which was created by modifying the fuck out of a pretty normal two story house.

My paladin just became a werewolf but at least she's still got perfect hair. Also, I guess this is my fursona?
