We've been watching Pop Culture Jeopardy and it's very fun but I think there needs to be more questions about 90s emo

Earlier today I happened to listen to Prefab Sprout's JORDAN: THE COMEBACK while I was cleaning my apartment and I'm not saying that's foreshadowing, but if it is, Jordan has some work to do

Free sports headline for anyone who wants it: "Portugal vs. The Man"

Old dog snoozin’ weather

Crimson and clover Over and over No time for losers We are the champions

My son started his basketball collection after getting really into the playoffs and discovering my old 90s cards, and he was ecstatic to discover he had a Darryn Peterson card from a pack he opened this weekend.

Here’s a better pic. It has hunkered down in the longer grass. Lots of starlings nearby but not sure what they can do. Anyone on #birdsky have advice?

My son and I found this fledgling starling(?) and he seems to be trying to get home. Not sure which tree he’s from, not that we could get up there if we did. Hawk in the area. Leave him be? Hoping he doesn’t hop into the parking lot…

John Candy IS Al Pacino IN Dick Tracy

Saw the most fascinating collection of bumper stickers on a van today: - Thin Blue Line flag - "Hunt with a Henry" - Qanon sticker And, the kicker, "Don't Be a Dick"

Maybe it shouldn't, but it does surprise me that in the year 2026 a search of streaming services for "squirrel" brings up the Squirrel Nut Zippers before Squirrel Flower. (Also I am curious about "Squirrel In My Pants" and "The Day the Squirrel Went Berserk," but not curious enough hit play.)

My son, who has seen the Super Mario Bros Movie multiple times now: “Wait, Mario’s Italian?”

I've decided to pause and provide my own personal rankings every 10 years, which I think will help make the enterprise a bit more manageable.

The NYT Pips game consistently makes me feel like the dumbest person on earth

You can’t fool me, this is a Hold Steady set list

Something I've been thinking about—as a person who works for a company pushing CoPilot adoption at scale—is that it may well be that AI "takes" white collar jobs not because AI can do those jobs but because companies are going to blow your salary on fucking tokens, knowingly or otherwise.

People who want to outsource the “boring” parts of research or academic work to genAI need to think about how much their life and thinking is enriched — even changed! — by stuff that wouldn’t have ever come up if they had managed to avoid that so-called “mindless” work. 1/

I had somehow never listened to either of these albums despite being a regular Pitchfork reader in 2001. After careful consideration my in depth analysis is that they are both very good and both of them should win.

Good morning from the top half of Kevins

Oh my god

Obsessed with this song tonight. That transition, with a tempo change and synths all of a sudden and THAT VOICE. Raw and killer but it also kinda rocks. Following her immediately. youtu.be/N6_4pOnP67Y?...

The only thing I ever watch on CBS is Sunday Morning and honestly I can’t really imagine them screwing that up. [SUNDAY] Jane Pauley, over pleasant trumpet sounds: “From ‘making copies’ to copying the latest moves in conservative politics, Rob Schneider is no stranger to controversy.”

$7.5M is pretty decent for a feature-length Toyota commercial

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

paul mccartney: this is my most personal album yet, i will finally lay bare my feelings about the biggest moments in my life paul mccartney's album: ba da doo doo do oh yeah

I didn't hear a word he said because I was too busy trying to figure out if it's the camera angle or if that empty shelf behind him is crooked. Maybe that's why it's empty, because everything slid off it? Someone get this guy a level or check his foundation or something.

I just came across the cover of Willie Nelson’s first album and it’s killing me that he looks like Robert Palmer

Just hit my knee on the edge of the coffee table so hard I'm pretty sure I split atoms

A thunderstorm rolled in and it started pouring the moment I put this Clearlake album on, that's how powerful English moping can be

When I am president I will sign an executive order mandating legally defining a “breakfast sandwich” as containing egg (or egg substitute, whatever that is). Chicken or sausage + bread does not count.

I could get out of the backrooms. I’d just like keep trying all the doors. Easy.

Welcome to the NBA playoffs on Floobie presented by Borgle and also Palantir. Palantir: We see all, we know all.

Voting for Sloan, who is great, despite generally liking Death Cab and this album. I am doing this for the same reason I voted against Pete Yorn, despite being favorable on that album too: because a guy I know who absolutely sucks loves them, and I am a single issue voter.

There are many, many reasons I subscribe to Defector, but one of the top 3 is that I can read phrases like "aforementioned hamburger dipshit" and be confident in the knowledge that those words have never before been placed in that order and likely never will again.
