  @SouthFresh Sister Sludge is more likely to be solo.

  “Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out),” 1967, The Hombres This could be The Dude’s theme song. “The Big Lebowski,” 1998, starring Jeff Bridges. I always try to use the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1967 for this game. There are too many easy ones for today’s.

  @cammerman The USPS could probably be profitable if it eliminated service to the 1000 countries with the worst delivery economics. Ninety percent of them would be red, of course, but it’s not like they’re depending on the Sears catalog to use in their outhouses any longer.

  @lisarue @jessamyn The inventor of the marine chronometer used to determine longitude. The Cathedral is not on the Greenwich baseline, but at 0° 7’ 35”. It is, however, believed to be on one of London’s ley lines. They should have used this marker in National Treasure or a sequel. https://www.westminster-abbey.org/abbey-commemorations/commemorations/john-harrison#:~:text=Scientist,not%20know%20their%20correct%20location.

  @Urban_Hermit He will also have an honor guard of the worst and second worst Cabinet members who “served” him as Secretary of most departments. Plus some Worst Ambassadors , Worst Justices, and, perhaps, a Worst First Lady and three or more of the Worst First Sons, Daughters, and Sons-in-law. We can also look forward to the Worst Presidential Library.

  @WorkWithKirk In the Heat of the Night, 1967, Best Film—it was actually nice and cool on top of the marble crypts in the cemetery. OTOH, everyone was sweating like pigs in the daytime.

  @madbarrister Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, 1966, Best Actrees, Elizabeth Taylor—Nobody was afraid of Virginia Woolf—Virginia Woolf wasn’t even there! As for Miss Taylor: odious performance, 1 star, no thumbs up! Of course, that might have been the character. Sandy Duncsn should have won Best Supporting Actress just for spelling Nicolas H. Janopoporopolous (“Do you mind if I call you Nick?”) and having the sense to give up on Lamborghini Miura. https://fb.watch/CtH5tgwFHp/?mibe...

  @JeremyMallin Why aren’t officers in the U. S. Military honoring their oaths to defend the Constitution and refusing to obey unlawful orders? Resigning is not a sufficient response. The Democratic response to the Insurrection was not sufficient, either.

  @cats@goose.rodeo The last two times our daughter’s cat did this the vet bill was over $1200.00. No plants in the house now.

  @HeatherInNZ I agree with all of this, but A Prairie Home Companion was not an NPR show. “National Public Radio (NPR) rejected the show due to its president Frank Mankiewicz perceiving the show as too expensive and insulting towards small towns.” Frank Mankiewicz repeatef Newton Minnow’s statement that commercial television a vast wasteland, especially with regard to political coverage. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Prairie_Home_Companion#Origin

  @PennamitePLR @wikiwomeninred @chicagomuseum I like your Spencer article. I don’t think that “high-ranking student” works as a paraphrase of “first honors” of “highest honors.” Perhaps “highest ranked in the freshman class”? I think that the word “page” was left out of “a 48-booklet.” I especially liked the way that burlesque showed up twice. Is her daughter’s career notable enough for her own article!

  @indivisibleteam I usually don’t gripe about paywalls—people who do are, essentially saying that they want everything free, even if that means that all news ends up being generated by billionaires. Then it will be censored by them and, eventually, we will have to pay them to see anything but ads. I wish that the six Surgeons General had posted on a freely-accessible public site, but here’s MSNBC’s coverage for anyone who feels guilty about not contributing to The Guardian. https://www.msnbc...
