It’s like we never even had a relationship Amy returns. Feeling like this is the one Still no response from Amy Haven’t spent much time thinking about the new Biden student loan repayment idea but first take is that it seems like a promising and infuriatingly necessary end-run around the system - basically saying we’ll cap what you have to pay so that once you hit the 10-year limit, if you It’s for healing purposes not fashion but LOOK AT HER BOOTIES THEY ARE SO CUTE The dog has been out of her mind for an hour even though there’s been no thunder yet. Either she knows the future or she’s secretly checking weather apps, and I don’t know which idea is more upsetting but also kind of weirdly adorable. Lost my dad in my 20s. But thinking about him today many years later as I drink a can of Heady Topper. Which was voted best beer in the world I think not long ago. It’s a hard beer to find. Look it up if you’re interested. A good (perfect?) friend brought some for a visit recentl Say what you want about Pat Robertson but I’m glad that guy is dead. The dog doesn’t understand why she can’t spend the day outside in the weird haze so I had to explain it’s because we ruined the planet for everyone. She’s not happy.

Maybe it’s time to accept we’re just not exceptional in certain ways. Like brain-wise. It was only a matter of time, people. Hate the gambling ads on baseball telecasts so much. Really fascinating interview with Zelensky in WP (behind paywall I think, FYI). I've found it unsettling - I don't know if that's the word but it feels like the word - that the Post keeps dropping these A1 headlines about Ukrainian military strategy based on the Discord leaks. I Nats have somehow become really fun to watch again. Even if they fall off at some point this is a cool team to follow right now. So many guys getting a chance and doing something with it (like Alu tonight). Two Phil’s’s name is grammatical assault and battery. But I don’t blame the horse. I agree with the f-you sentiment here SO MUCH. But I also know it’s not just the dinosaurs. There’s always a market and a receptive audience for awfulness. There are so many Musk fans out there and they’re YOUNG. So don’t expect them to die out. Beat those fuckers.
