I went to a Vancouver branch one time and didn't buy an amazing Morgan. I wish I had.

A slowed down version of Jolene by Dolly Parton was mentioned in the comments. (Nice but I think I prefer the Miley Cyrus version).

I've mentioned her previously and continue to respect her. Rabbi Sharon Brous' last Shabbat sermon.

The majority of people whose religious viewpoints McClellan finds himself addressing are men. He has done so a lot. Male voices tend to be the more common ones in the world of religious and biblical analysis and debate, online and elsewhere.

While an interesting thinker and commentator, there is only so much Mcclellan can elaborate in one brief clip. Easier to digest than three or four hour Bart Ehrman clips!
Disagreement with a woman is not misogyny.
Mcclellan wears fun T-shirts if nothing else.

A critical look/analysis by Dan Mcclellan* at some strands of Conservative Christian displeasure with the "He gets us" ad was interesting to me. Bit of a rabbit hole though. *A scholar of The Bible and religion whose YouTube films and discussions I sometimes watch.

ETA - apologies for the detour Terry. A little lacking in levity.

University of Texas law professor, Steve Vladeck had some thoughts. "The real problem with Thursday's argument in the Trump immunity case is the extent to which it reveals a Supreme Court poised to paint itself into a deeply problematic (and unnecessary) corner""Writing a Rule ... for the Ages"

Went to a new gym today. First time for a few years. I'd forgotten how to use the different equipment and felt quite a self-conscious, dithering old fool and left without figuring stuff out or doing anything really. I've booked a session with a trainer for next Tuesday to help me reacclimatise to the environment. Sönke Meinen and Will McNicol did a nice duet. Wordle 1,042 2/6*

I didn't ask them. I asked you. As you can imagine, I am crestfallen to have disappointed you.

Pamela Paul's vapid blather makes me a bit cranky. Edit - My disdain for Ms.Paul's column may be slightly influenced by my lingering severe irritation with some of her previous output. Thanks for the gift link though. Always appreciated!

When I'd only ever read of Boise, Idaho. My mental voice pronounced it in a French(ish) way - Bwaahz. Should I also mentally de-Frenchify Dubois from Doo-bwah to Doo-boys?

Likewise. Tough quiz. Quite fun though. I've decided to not burden my faltering memory banks with the new information.

I do like a traditional wooden canoe. Canoes are a bit smaller than what I've mostly watched on YT. I've watched a few small sailboats and tenders being built. Generally bigger stuff though. A couple of amateurs on the 'Salt and Tar' channel built from scratch a wooden 38 foot gaff rigged ketch, it took seven years. Lovely thing. I have seen quite a bit about Port Townsend and environs wooden boat building. There are quite a few skilled people there. The rebuild of the gaff cutter 'Tally Ho' has been impressive. sampsonboat.co.uk/Sadly I am utterly inept at woodwork. I can go on and on about this stuff but luckily for Maggie Rogers fans and others here, I won't.

In truth, I subscribe to several YT guitar channels a couple of science, philosophy, psychology ones and ...erm... 73 sailing and boat building/repair channels and there are not many algorithmic offerings that deviate far from that sort of thing.
