- Realized I got a major factual thing wrong in a video (not yet released), and when I tried to trace my mistake, I realized I got it from an incorrect citation in a well-regarded scholarly source and I shudder to imagine how many times that’s happened and I haven’t caught it.
- Goodnight, freshly trimmed tank.
- One of the biggest differences between homemade and factory baked goods, I’ve become convinced, is the grain size of the sugar. Use powdered sugar, you’ll get a more “pro” finish, fwiw.
- Another trick is to use 00 pizza flour, as I did here. The extra protein adds smoothness and chewiness, while the ultra-fine 00 milling gets you an almost paper-like smoothness on breads and other stuff. One of my best original recipes, tbh. youtu.be/raNLUgnfTTQ?...
- Poptart talked a big game but came crawling back to her heated blanket pretty quick.
- There are days when I want to produce a Viking steaming series with a character named “Ermugerd” just to set it up where, in season 4, Ermugerd time travels to the present and somebody exclaims “oh my god,” but like “Ermugerd.”
- I’d like to thank the snow for pointing out how dirty my house is.
- Current paint job on The Rock at the University of Tennessee.
- Among other things, I’m pleased to say this features the first honest-to-god drumroll I’ve ever committed to tape, at 1:58. Big moment for me. youtu.be/YXVCHPaw-O8?...
- It took a lot of stick fiddling to find my fulcrum, if you take my meaning.

- Is it weird that the defensive backs can be variously described as “the secondary” and “the third level”?
- It’s good to finally be rooting for the team that Pat Surtain is on.
- In advance of Jarrett Stidham’s first snap of his NFL season, a PSA (pedantic service announcement): A “journeyman” is NOT a skilled worker who bounces from job to job as though he were on a journey. In this context, “journey” comes from the French word for “day.”
- A journeyman was a craftsman who had advanced enough through the guild system to where he could charge a fee for a day’s labor, as opposed to an apprentice who had to work for free, or as opposed to the master craftsman who would be paying the journeyman.
- “Journeyman” still works as a description for unremarkable athletes who bounce from team to team. But such players are not journeymen because they’re on a journey; they’re journeymen because they’re mid.
- Neither here nor there, but the way people use “master class” figuratively is pretty inconsistent with what a real master class actually is.
- Which is understandable, given that “master class” is a term from the rarified world of elite classical music education. It’s usually when a famous artist visits the school and a bunch of students take turns performing for the artist to get feedback. The famous artist generally does not perform.
- So when someone gives a speech or delivers some other kind of performance and people say, “Wow, they really put on a master class,” no they didn’t. Students perform for the master in the master class, not the other way around.
- (This could be directed at a lot of people but let the record show I’m directing it at Stephen Miller.)
