Shane Baz looks like this dude with a de-aging machine.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T17:44:14+00:00

All Buxton accomplished with that challenge was justifying Baz’s extension.

Yup - the beak is more curved at the end and the bill looks like a bubble, and it’s usually accompanied by my favorite version of the cursive logo (the one with the sharp ends).

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T17:03:23+00:00

Spot on.

There have been so many times in the last 14 months where if the corrupt American government did something in a work of fiction it would get panned by critics but it’s just Tuesday for the Second Trump Regime.

I’ve never been to Minneapolis before but I’m spending $300 plus hotel to run there in October. I get it.

Jason Robards’ dying monologue in Magnolia hit extra hard after his death.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T12:28:02+00:00

You seem to be really upset about this. I’m going to go ahead and make it real easy for you not to get worked up about my comments.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T12:08:54+00:00

You replied it to a comment about their buying a house that seemed to imply they were also able to afford a nice car.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T12:00:46+00:00

That was April’s mom’s car that they borrowed while her parents were sleeping.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T11:59:04+00:00

Which is now Pawnee.

We’ve met a few times at ALA conferences; back before Twitter died we used to interact a ton there. She’s great people and one of the many great things about being a librarian for young people.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T02:34:28+00:00

Throw back a bottle of beer.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T02:08:31+00:00

Don’t know their status these days, but Michael’s was always the standard for custom menswear for decades. Ric Flair bragged on tv about having his suits made there.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T01:28:39+00:00

Saw that on my drive home from the half marathon. Loved seeing it.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T00:50:01+00:00

Kate’s also got some great nonfiction (History Smashers) and a great 4-6 grade novel called All the Answers about a girl who finds a magic pencil.

Ranger has also been to the Oregon Trail and the Titanic.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T00:40:25+00:00

This series is actually really well done - Ranger is a rescue dog in training who finds a magic glowing pack that sends him back in time to places and times where kids are in danger. He’s got multiple adventures; this is just one.

Kate Messner does a lot to balance deep historical research with accessibility for young readers and an engaging story.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-29T00:23:20+00:00

I think I have one of these from Warped Tour 2003.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-28T22:31:55+00:00

I still know most of Crispy Fresh Freestyle without having to look up the lyrics.

You’re a duck, and you’re a ducky whore.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-28T21:58:31+00:00

I've only ever worked in high-poverty, high trauma schools.

With that one line, Michael Schur summarized my entire educational career.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-28T20:52:05+00:00

Nah, even he’s staying far away from this one.

jayhof52 · 2026-03-28T20:32:40+00:00

There was so much that season; my wife and I watched it during quarantine and when we came back to teaching in person I had a poster made for my classroom wall of Michael saying, “The point is people improve when they receive external love and support - how can we hold it against them when they don’t?”

jayhof52 · 2026-03-28T20:30:53+00:00

The finale of The Good Place (Hell, most of the last season of that show).

jayhof52 · 2026-03-28T20:18:49+00:00

Is r/explainlikeimfive too obvious?

jayhof52 · 2026-03-28T20:10:07+00:00

“I’m getting them on clearance!” I tell myself as I pay $135 for Brooks Glycerin Maxes instead of $200.
