Always did like the Fab Five. Cool to see Michigan do it. U Conn's got enough of 'em.

Elliot Cadeau has strong Dude From Counting Crows vibes.

Watching these kids play basketball and thinking about what a dick I'd probably be if I could easily dunk a ball.

I'm excited to see which of the Artemis astronauts comes back made out of rock and which one can do the fire thing.

Joyride around the moon seems like such an American teenage thing to do, like they're gonna go late night hit a diner after for chicken strips and fries and then maybe steal a street sign or something.

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are definitely a duprass.

It's really a beautiful day in DC, and about 4 miles away from me a doddering malevolent idiot who my countrymen inexplicably empowered is babbling about destroying an entire country of people because they won't do a thing he neither can nor will define even though *he* unprovokedly attacked *them.*

This is ridiculous and amazing. On the last one though... I feel like if you go over the wall catching a would-be home run ball, the ball should still be a home run. You didn’t catch that ball, that ball took you out with it.

Listening to Mumford & Sons 'cuz Easter is all about stuff that should be dead already.

Hey folks! The World Cup is coming to America and you absolutely can't afford to see it. But you *can* afford this book I (very oddly) had a hand in helping my brother ghostwrite about a great American soccer player, Landon Donovan. So, uh, check it out! a.co/d/0d8cqYRE

I set up Cash or Trade notifications for tickets to the last weekend of Phish at the Sphere and the desperate "Please Buy My Sob Story And Take These Obstructed View Row 30 in the 100s Tickets I Bought Expecting to Flip for Big Money Off My Hands" stories have really picked up the last few days.

Ah I haven't listened to the primordial stuff in far too long - Dead channel playing 2/27/69 on a hot, sunny, 85° day is giving me life!

Not only was this awesome, but we ran into almost literally every person we know in DC seeing it. Huzzah!

Wandered into a store recently that was playing RHCP's One Hot Minute. Ended up chatting with the two middle-aged women who owned the store about it and they said they'd seen the Chili Peppers in concert like 200 times, and it was a great exercise in conversing without saying what I was thinking.

A public service announcement: If you're coming down to DC and the tidal basin this weekend to see the cherry blossoms, congrats! You already missed 'em.

Baba O'Riley is such a great fucking song. Still rocks.

Chag Pesach Sameach, y'all.

Phish Mexico announcement already? Geez, did Trey invest in AI futures or something?

I see we've reached the bit where he throws away the desiccated husks of the first wave of spineless kiss-ups he has no more use for and replaces them with shiny new bits of chum willing to be devoured and churned through for their brief degrading moment in the sun.

Seems like a good time to talk about how stronger green energy infrastructure would have made this less of an economic crisis and how Republicans squashing domestic solar and wind investments both hands China the future green energy economy and strengthens Russia and the Middle East's oil positions.

Where can I get a "In this house, we believe that people should have bazookas and be allowed to use them to blow up cars running stop signs on neighborhood streets" sign?

Can some pocket Darth Vader just throw this brain-dead wannabe Palpatine fuck down a reactor shaft already

In space no one can hear you pace back and forth and knock impatiently.

FYI: Artemis was the goddess of both chastity and childbirth. So next time you're saying that Hail Mary, just remember the Greeks did it all first.

After 3 days of bullshit runarounds from the local Whole Foods over getting a beef tenderloin, I'm going to a real butcher (Stachowski's) like I shoulda just done in the first place.

It's absolutely hilarious that Trump's gonna give a speech declaring victory in Iran on April Fool's Day.

John Sauer will never not sound like Muppet Solicitor General.

Finally a festival where you can leave before the headliner plays because you know he ain't actually playing.

God Ticketmaster sucks. Let me log in, then when I went to enter the queue sent me authentication codes it wouldn't accept and then made me reset my password (!!!). Just barely made it back through that in time to queue up with everyone else for BMFS.

Wait, we're sending astronauts back to the moon on April Fools Day? Yeah, that's gonna put all those moon landing hoax rumors finally to rest. 👀

Happy April Fools Day, y'all. youtu.be/mIF6f3tFxBw?...

Ever look at a Championship banner and think, "That was eight years ago?!"

Take the little man to see some hockey.

Watched Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice for the first time and the amount of neckerchiefs in this movie is astounding.

It was only a couple of flipper babies.

WALL-E's in the basement Mixing up the medicine I’m on the internet ID-ing for the government The man in the ICE vest Badge off, gun out Says he’ll guard a fence sir To be an influencer Look out kid They're makin' a vid God knows who But it looks a lot like you

In an exciting new-to-me driving development, I had not one but *two* different people in front of me on the drive home decide they didn't want to be on Rock Creek Parkway and attempt to hang a U-Turn back directly into oncoming one-way traffic today. 👀

I've gotten like 6 emails from my dentist in 3 days about an exciting invitation and then follow-up apology emails about it being a glitch in the system and it's totally clear they're going concierge but don't want to say that until they've had the big meeting they aren't inviting us to yet. Sigh.

Today on "What's Stuck in Matt's Headspace?": Vampire Weekend's stuck around long enough to show itself as neither as revelatory nor as cringe-worthy as they at times appeared. Their mix of sweet melodies, world rhythms, and prep school lyrics stew a fun pool for a toe-dip. youtu.be/P_i1xk07o4g?...

As a Wizards fan, I do wonder if any team has ever had back-to-back sub-20 win/bottom-2-record seasons and gotten leapfrogged by 4 clearly better teams in the draft to pick 6th in both of those years or if we just get to be the first.

A nation led by a cabal of idiots who idealize only the worst presidents and their worst excesses, and even then are too dim-witted, ham-fisted and solipsistic to understand even *they* tried to paper over their corruption, incompetence, and sociopathic behavior with some form of lip service.

Holy crap what an ending to that game. Man, if that was anyone but Duke, I'd feel bad for them.

Did the Caps do this? Is it April 1st already? What the hell. My apologies to the Golden Knights fans.

Fell asleep face down and woke up with a cat asleep on my butt.

While I think Trump's name should be stripped from damn near everything whenever his presidency is blissfully over, I do think I would add it one place, 'cuz The Donald J. Trump Dump for Shitpiles and Trash has a pretty nice ring to it.

Been a while since we did the homemade pizza night. Not too shabby.

I am Likes Raisins Again years old.

Today on "What's Stuck in Matt's Headspace?": INXS were not the lithest band. Listening now, you can hear how tightly controlled they were, the effort it took to make grooves seem effortless. The exception: Michael Hutchence, oozing sex, soul, & charisma, making it look easy youtu.be/AIBv2GEnXlc?...

It's nice that we've put all our medical forms and data online so we don't have to fill it all out anew every time we go see a doctor but also still have to fill it all out anew every time we go see a doctor, even if it's the same fucking doctor.
