My great-great grandfather was a snake charmer in an American circus. Guess how he died.

Speaking of genealogy and family lore: tell me the oddest or coolest fact from your family’s history.

Love this anecdote and also, Anderson’s manner with the pipe and also that he, Ian Anderson, a rock star, had better elocution, both modulation and articulation, than any of our last half dozen Prime Ministers and virtually all News readers.

In woke 1 you could be like “they/them is silly” and people would be like WOW you brave heterodox truth teller and now you have to be like I WILL PERSONALLY KILL EVERY CEO to get attention around here

It's easy to be cynical about this, but what people outside of journalism need to understand is that you can't just replace someone like Stephen Colbert's daughter with the child of any old celebrity. It has to be the child of a really big celebrity.

So much Big Tech wisdom is just: "I've been so productive since I started being a sociopath."

Sorry for the long post, but this is super important.

This is my sweet daughter, Francesca, one month before she died of brain cancer.She never got the chance to build the life and legacy she deserved, so we are building one in her name.

Over the past six years, Team Beans has raised $3.7 million for infant brain tumor research. This year, we’ve raised $77,000 toward our $100,000 goal for Dana-Farber, and we are just $23,000 away.

I cannot overstate how important this funding is to Francesca’s doctors and researchers. It has already made a real difference: a clinical trial and registry for her type of cancer were created entirely because of the people who supported Team Beans.

Francesca was so full of life, even when she was sick. After watching this terrible disease take my child, helping find a cure became the cause of my life.

I ran two Boston Marathons to raise money, and I would run one every day if it meant helping cure this disease. Now, I ride the Pan-Mass Challenge every year for Francesca and for every baby still fighting.

Please consider supporting Team Beans in the PMC. Donate, share this post, or tell someone Francesca’s story. Every gift matters.

For Francesca. For every baby still fighting.

Here's my wife's entry in the Utah Quilt Show, which is going on at the Springville Art Museum. As usual I'm amazed at the quilts in the show and at the art form generally. More quilts in the replies 👇

Trump was the first to notice Messi had moved to the right and was unmarked. He should take over from Tuchel.

This plays like an SNL skit from the ‘90’s and it’s beautiful.

The Office transformed TV comedy. Unanswerable and utterly brilliant, it was the apotheosis of deadpan, 'mockumentary'-style comedy. After Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's creation, sitcoms could never be the same again, says Simon Evans

It's kicking off in the PG Wodehouse Facebook group today. Someone posted some covers designed by AI and all hell has broken loose.

I did not know Lindsey Graham served 33 years in the United States Air Force and retired a colonel earning a bronze star.

Love him or hate him, without a doubt Lindsey Graham was a patriot who served America for 3 decades. Then 2 more decades in the senate.

Graham loved America, that I can tell. 🇺🇸

“Unfortunately he’d gone feral and we couldn’t re-introduce him into the home. He ended up living with my friend’s parents in Preston.” This is the commentary moment of the World Cup and it will not be beaten. Ever.
