Since people of my vintage are more microplastics than flesh, is cremation or burial the more eco-friendly choice? Or do I write into my will that I want to be exhumed and recycled at a later date? Oh, good morning.

Well said. I appreciate good criticism about it. Reading some of those critiques changed some of how I saw the movie for the better. But as a parent, I don’t like being told that being moved by it, as I was, was somehow the wrong feeling. Seeing too much of that.

I’ve lived in Iowa, no stranger to storms, all my years, and I don’t remember hail this plentiful or sustained.

Text reads: HAWK ALERT: NWS Severe Thunderstorm Warning until [time] for parts of Johnson Co. Storm includes [XX wind and XXX hail]. Seek shelter. More: emergency.uiowa.edu

Sexy wind and even sexier hail? Got ourselves a stew.

Right? The sound was eerie inside the house.

Picture of a large piece of hail resting in a person’s open hand.

Hail yeah, brother.

LITTLE AMELIE! Hell yes.

Ruin a dad’s week by saying the TV display looks weird and refusing to elaborate

Screengrab from ESPN showing a video still of a football player in uniform on the left, and a man in a suit on the right. Text at top reads “NFL Good Moves?,” with subhed that reads “Schrager: Devin Bush a great signing for Bears”

Why does this guy look like he’s on the stand turning state in a mob trial?

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know?

But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

“If God meant to interfere in the degeneracy of mankind would he not have done so by now?”

How I arrived at BlueSky:

By far, the worst thing about moving to a (mostly) vegan lifestyle is being subjected to the term “nut cheese” on a regular basis. The rest is an egg- and dairy-free cakewalk.

Concert poster showing a silhouetted figure holding an axe behind a table that holds a typewriter, a bottle of liquor, a glass, an ashtray with a lit cigarette, and a pack of cigarettes. Poster reads “Lucero” at top and “Live at The Stanley Hotel April 18-19, 2026” at bottom.

Just bought tickets for both of these Lucero shows (!) at The Stanley Hotel (!!), and I need that poster now.

No cheating, your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist.

Welp.

Missed it in the theater, but rented it as soon as it hit the new-release shelf at the local video store. It remained on heavy rotation for me then, and it is now a yearly watch at the start of every summer with my kids, now 15 and 12.

Hopped on the treadmill just in time for the hurricane two-parter of “Golden Girls.” That’s how you Tuesday.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Whether it's a mini-sabbatical or an adult gap year, more people are taking extended work breaks The idea of taking more than a two-week vacation from work to recover from burnout or rethink life is slowly gaining supporters in the United States.

When I burned out after 14 years teaching elementary school, I was privileged enough (wife with a good job) to not so much take a gap year, but to accept a less-than-full-time job with a severely reduced salary “temporarily.” It has now been two years, and I’ve never felt more like a whole person.

This is so true.

Okay, five.

I hate attention and I cannot sing, but I would trade three (3) years of my life to host The Muppet Show.

So many THINGS popping up!

That head is so cool.

And Marc Maron.

Has anyone offered Tim Meadows yet? Tim Meadows.

Yeah, it'll hopefully just whet the appetite for ... the series to follow? Who can say.
