S3E2 hoping to find some good jokes slipped by on the first watch of season three. Like this one!
S3E1 A highlight for me:
1. The supervillain has a ‘prestige’ parking lot,
2. It is enforced strictly,
3. And with a heaping helping of snobbery.
What an awesome feeling to not know a stunning proportion of the #cargobike parents at evening pickup.
We’re getting there.

I might have accidentally bought another e-bike. Bird is putting their bikes on a clearance sale at Ocean State Job Lot—former MSRP of $2200, currently for sale at $1000 with a $500 gift card to go along with it.

Interoperability and shared standards are awesome.
this is by far the stupidest thing i've ever been this proud of
No lifetime bike is ever really complete. But at some point, I decided that every part on my Moots should be made by a different manufacturer, or at least be a different model. After a 15 year wait for a new crank/BB, I have basically achieved that! Specs in the second pic.
Installed the current crank/bottom-bracket combo on this bike around the time I was married, gonna pull it and upgrade after 15 years

dozens of tiny burnt halved cabbages are trying to murder me from inside
Direct eye contact
Every barber shop in the neighborhood (including the one 500 feet from my house, who sued to kill bike lanes) is closed on Sundays. And I look like this rn.
I don’t work weekends either, it sucks, but this seems like a lot of lost business.

Last nite I :
1. Dropped the kid off with Grampy
2. Yada yada yada
3. Ate a bag of chips, a candy bar, and two pounds of roasted Brussels sprouts for dinner
S2E11 if you picked up a script and just read Dr Fieldstone’s self-assuredness, I think it would really sound dumb, doth-protest-to-muchy. But it’s perfectly pulled off by Sarah Niles #TedLassoRewatchParty
S2E10 I think the sad thing of season 3 is that in trying to maintain so many independent story arcs, they squeezed out any room to just linger on a fun clever running joke, like the team’s introduction to dress shoes.
S2E9 the Beard one. You either love it or hate it. I’ve tried, but damn I just hate it #TedLassoRewatchParty
[quick #TedLassoRewatchParty intermission to listen to ‘blue moon’ by the Marcels on headphones, just an incredible performance and production] https://youtu.be/v0fy1HeJv80
