Looks like we’ll juuuuust sneak in a February Fakeout.

Prediction: The next James Bond will be bald.

These are the facts about the federal funding of public media, including the company I work for. I’m here for a good faith debate about whether the CPB is a good use of taxpayer dollars.

Roses are red, Violets, I acknowledge,

Discussing yesterdays Wordle: Wife: Got it in 2! Me: What is it? W: ‘Suave’ M: Wonder why so easy? 😏 W: Must be the Cary Grant movie we just watched. M: 😒

Roses are red, Violets are cute,

If you are a VA employee in Oregon or SW Washington who has been terminated or had their work conditions changed, or has taken deferred resignation, I want to hear from you. DMs open and I have signal for encrypted communication signal.me#eu/rIqM7qzEe...

I’ve given up the NFL but this is kind of the only mass cultural event we have left.

All this Tom Brady makes me wonder. Who’s the best sportscaster who played pro football? I say Troy Aikman and, because I’m old, Merlin Olsen.

Man, I like rice. It’s perfect for when I’m hungry, and I want 2000 of something.

I miss Curling Night in America. HMU for good substitutes.

Blue is a violet, Red is a rose,

Nobody was more surprised to see Joe Minihane’s work in the Ashland Daily Tidings than Joe himself. He doesn’t even live in the U.S.. Excellent, maddening piece by my colleague @ryanjhaas.bsky.social

My weekend basically.

Roses are red, Violets are short,

Roses are red, Violets, I like a bunch,

Bryce Boettcher is having an amazing game as Ducks linebacker. A sack and a strip in the half so far! Loved this convo we had before the season started.

I know there’s always a danger of a successful book or movie getting the Broadway treatment. But The Outsiders? Can’t.

You know why this is a truly great scene? It’s Richard Sanders’ impeccable delivery and timing. Today we would CGI the turkey bombs, and that’s great. But the acting is what fixes the whole thing in our memories.

Roses are red, Violets, I love the most,

Roses are red, Violets are blue,

Support your local NPR member station.

It’s Exploding Whale Day! It’s also Tonya Harding’s birthday. I’ll say it again. Today seriously needs to be an Oregon state holiday y’all.

I decided I need to rewatch Field of Dreams for some reason. Turns out it’s kind of perfect for 3 days out from The Event.

Roses are red, Violets are pretty,

Roses are red, Violets don’t float,

Just once I’d love to see a Brewers-Orioles or Pirates-Twins kinda World Series. Big Market Ball just leaves me cold.

Still trying to wrap my head around Texas fans throwing stuff in the field bc they didn’t like a call, and the refs are like, ‘Maybe they have a point.’

Dear college marching bands, Can we give O Fortuna, Dies irae and Seven Nation Army a rest? Thx.

Roses are red, Violets do not roam,

Ya gotta bet more in Double Jeopardy. That’s it. That’s the skeet.

Roses are red, Violets don’t grow tall,

Roses are red, Violets, I adore,

Roses are red, Violets are sublime,

Is there a famous person you can’t stomach for no discernible reason? Like, you just have a dumb allergy to them? I’ll start. Paul Hollywood.
