I wanna give off John Turturro at the Knicks game energy.

It sucks that a really good basketball game will be drenched in the stench of this a-hole president, but it will at least be a little fun getting to hear Knicks fans vocally tear him a new ass on national TV.

One week until the start of the World Cup. What will you do with all the money you'll save not attending it? I might buy a media empire.

Unnecessary Thoughts on a New Weezer Song: 1. Hey this is pretty good. 2. Wow the members of Weezer look old. 3. Partially cuz the comparison with Karly Hartzman (who's great) is stark. 4. In the bridge Rivers Cuomo inexplicably turns into a Fred Armisen character. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyE8...

Hmmmn looks like some shit is hitting the fan in the elementary school WhatsApp chat. Yeah, just gonna watch this one I think.

The dismantling of 60 Minutes and CBS Radio, like the dismantling of The Washington Post, is a billionaire deciding to buy and destroy a respected media outlet that "criticized" his world view by reporting honestly on it. He doesn't want to make money off media, he just wants to control its message.

I believe he prefers to be called *President* Flesh-Eating Screwworm. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I've been back at work for 6 months now. This morning I was thinking about some of the little changes I've made in dress and attitude to acclimate to this firm's culture and work-casual style. We are all fish swimming in our fishbowls; it's good sometimes to take stock of how the water's moved us.

Knicks had to punch first and they did. 3 wins away from immortality.

People seem about as excited for the upcoming World Cup as they usually are about a colonoscopy.

Nothing like getting a "Tickets available now!" email from Stubhub for a show you are still in the Ticketmaster queue trying to get tickets to.

Out on the road today I saw a deadhead sticker on a cybertruck A little voice inside my head said, "Fuck that guy, what an ignorant fuck."

Built to Spill.

Are the people commuting on gyroscopic one-wheelers aware that there are significantly more death-resistant forms of transportation available?

I've never noticed it before, but Killing Joke's song Eighties just came on and Nirvana absolutely took the riff for Come As You Are from it.

Having a very interesting discussion with my 9 year old about gay and lesbian issues in third grade and some understandable and perhaps even predictable confusion some of the other third graders had in joining the pro-LGBTQ "Skittle Society" at school. Happy Pride y'all.

If my cell phone service's anti-spam filter is on the most stringent level *and* my phone is set to send unknown numbers to voicemail, why am I still getting rings for unknown numbers/Spam calls like every other hour?

I'm not a religious man, but the existence of steak fajitas does point strongly in the direction of there being a higher power.

It's downright dickish of authors to make me care about made-up people and then make-up terrible things to happen to them.

Is Casper Ruud reminding me of Paul Rudd because he actually looks a bit like him or am I just imagining it because of the similarities in their last name?

Fun fact: The "Knicks" is actually an abbreviation - the team's full name is the "New York Kenickies," named after the character played by Jeff Conway in the movie version of Grease.

Victor Wembanyama makes objectively incredibly tall people look tiny.

Pretty good day for French teams.

"Welp." -Every other GM in the NBA watching San Antonio

Got up early, played tennis, absolutely sucked at it. 🤷‍♂️ Ah well! It's a damn brutal super fun sport.

Far too many people out waiting for the stop sign to change green.

Leon Bridges does such great collaborations.

FONSECA WITH 3 STRAIGHT ACES. That was an incredible match.

Breaking: Puppet Show has dropped out of the Freedom 250 celebration.

"Ice ice baby" "Boots with the fur" "Ice ice baby" "Boots with the fur" "Ice ice baby" "Boots with the fur" For 6 hours.

One thing that has become abundantly clear in these playoffs is that nothing but the most overt of start-stop-start-stop-start-stop foot shuffles is a travel anymore in the NBA.

Holy shit someone not named Sinner or Alcaraz is gonna win a men's major.

I found the sickest pair of Sambas this weekend and was so tempted to get them even though Sambas have literally no arch support whatsoever and you might as well be just walking in extremely cool-looking colored cardboard.

I've reached the "guess I'd better get my head around the fact that I'm gonna have to root for the Hurricanes if I don't want Torts to win another Cup" stage of acceptance.* *Particularly annoying 'cuz I don't generally dislike the Golden Knights, but then they went and hired a dickhead as coach.

Happy (would be) 100th birthday to Miles Davis, a *deeply* problematic man who made some of the greatest music of all time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlIy...

Is a 45 point lead good? Yikes man, invoke the NBA playoffs closeout game mercy rule. #Knicks

Shaq and Kenny singing “New York, New York” at halftime is way more amusing than it should be.

Knicks gonna give us all an early bedtime, eh?

Nats over .500! Yeeha.

I just took my son to see The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and I definitely lost more brain cells watching that than on all the drugs I've done combined.

I have passed the midway point of both the main text and the endnotes in Infinite Jest. Yeeha. All downhill from here. 👀

Hanging out with the fam and my 19-year-old niece dropped the word "FUPA" on us and my aunt asked what it meant and it led us down an incredible rabbit hole of riffing and laughter for the next 15-20 minutes.

This is candy masquerading as a cracker but it sure is tasty.
