and with that, lebron james becomes the last remaining active NBA player who was in the league when carson daly was hosting TRL

let's hear it for 41 year olds, the perfect age

on the same day the washington post’s sports desk all got fired?

like 8 hours into the olympics and the curling matches are all suspended because of technical issues with the venue. this is going to be an adventure.

can't decide between like 8 different waylon jennings songs

this first sentence made my eyes bleed

inspiring stories of community support in here, but i wish the absolute worst on everyone who made them necessary and don’t know how any of them sleep at night

heard michael 5000 watts got into the in memoriam montage so instead of watching the grammys tonight i'm listening to old slim thug swishahouse tapes

maybe the guy-est guy of them all

i have basically zero interest in defending amy klobuchar or facilitating her continued participation in national politics, but she's posted about ICE like 9 times in the last 3 days, you all just don't actually follow her and only look at this website when you want to get mad

one of the absolute best to ever do it, RIP queen

also, if whoever posted this had grown up in NYC, they'd know that not having snow days except under extraordinary conditions is a well known thing of which the NYC public schools and their alumni are very proud

did not remember richard edson was on an episode of pete & pete

i am a native boston sports fan who checked out of patriots fandom for about a decade, and, having dipped a toe back in over the last couple years, i'm quickly being reminded why i did that

this is a spectacular piece of music journalism on a topic that you'd think there was nothing left to say about

the scott bessent sunday morning show clips are great because his natural resting expression is that of a man who was just asked a painful question he knew was coming but really doesn't want to answer

this reminds of all the blockbuster trades danny ainge didn't do

it’s funny that he analogizes making health care decisions for your children to looking up cars on consumer reports before buying one, given that all the cars have been heavily vetted for safety and approved for sale by the government before anyone gets to review them

no idea what the point of this is (i mean i *know* what the point is but), the somali population of lewiston are all there legally and there are few-to-no other immigrants in maine. that said, lewiston isn’t exactly minneapolis in a multitude of ways so i have no idea how this will go.

i think on the one hand it's true that today's economic environment makes doing what my grandparents did--having 7 kids on a single non-college salary in a nice boston suburb--no longer feasible, but on the other hand nobody actually wants to make the sort of choices that facilitate having 7 kids

these grainy-ass pixelated posts reminding everyone of one of history’s greatest art crimes (nickelodeon shelving the 3rd season DVD release of the adventures of pete & pete for no reason i’ve ever been able to uncover)

after finishing all the garfield and far side books, i dug out my dad’s old doonesbury compilation and read it cover to cover. a lot of jimmy carter jokes for an 11 year old in 1996.

I really thought bobby was going to live forever somehow

i'm sorry, this is in *naples*?

it’s really crazy that the prosecution has the burden of proof on self-defense in cases of police violence. if anything, as state actors with a legal monopoly on violence, police should have a *tougher* standard for the use of deadly force than a normal person, but the law goes the other way.

1.2-1.6 grams/kg is the recommendation for powerlifters and serious endurance athletes. there’s no particular harm in getting more than you need but most americans already are, and if you get it all from red meat and whole milk as this graphic suggests, you might have some problems down the road.

in little league i played second base and i grew up a red sox fan, but my little league years overlapped with a pretty dark era of red sox second basemen, so i recall becoming unreasonably fond of 34-year old scott fletcher

ever since I was 6 years old I've desperately wanted john lennon's sunken bed from the 'help!' movie

this reminds me of when people were crowing about getting chatGPT to “admit” things about its training corpus or whatever. chatbots don’t know things, they have no concept of objective reality, they are unaware of the distinction between inner and external life, they are just word generators.

a fun thing about having a baby is you can sing the "love shack, baby" part of 'love shack' about anything with two syllables. "🎶 car seat / baby 🎶", "🎶 breakfast / baby 🎶", "🎶 bedtime / baby 🎶" etc

clearly labeled "compact" space? oh you know it

same deal with law right now. there are lots of tools that *would* be super helpful if they were reliable, but given the acceptable error rate is zero and so you have to check all their outputs anyway, you may as well just do it the old fashioned way.

the replies to this post are deranged. i too am frustrated by the demise of ad-supported media and unbundling of publication such that you need to pay every writer you like directly, but i never realized how many people think promoting paywalled content is somehow unethical?

in contrast to the human drivers of san francisco, who have just been blowing through the intersections like the lights never existed

very cool to have an afternoon power outage on the second shortest day of the year

surfed the YouTube algorithm tonight to the 1988 john denver christmas in aspen special featuring anne murray

it's very funny that they didn't remove the second "the," though I suppose if they did it would sound like he's dead too

just noticed samberg is wearing a john muir elementary shirt in this, a detail that meant nothing to me 20 years ago!

i remember thinking “Virgin” was an honorific of some kind and asking my mother why mary got be the Virgin but joseph didn’t get anything special, and then she had to explain to me what a virgin was

it's a small part of his legacy but the albert brooks documentary rob reiner made a couple years was just the sweetest thing, felt like he just wanted to tell his bro how much he loved him via a movie

opening night screening of ‘snakes on a plane,’ a marathon screening of the first three ‘final destination’ movies at the village east, and the related (1) world premier of ‘sorry to bother you’ at grand lake and (2) sitting next to boots riley at a screening of ‘marcel the shell with shoes on’

big wreck have been bottom-lining rock festivals since at least 1998, a fascinating career

checking out this "caroline" album dominating the year end lists and it sounds like a lot of stuff I liked in 2008 but unlike most of that stuff I think it's probably actually good

while i am glad people are ditching spotify and glad many are considering qobuz (a platform i’ve used for years and which seems to be run by people who actually like music) the reason it has the highest per-stream rate is because it is expensive and has relatively few users (and thus streams). sorry

let's go baby, maine uber alles

dean my man, I voted for you but you need to chill homie

(1) write "because jesus" as the answer to all your college exams: (2) get an F; (3) call your local TPUSA chapter; (4) lifetime sinecure

declaring the holiday season officially open

i was out of work for a year and before that worked at a place where everyone tried to work as little as possible, but at some point everyone just agreed that thanksgiving wednesday is a full holiday and tuesday is the half day now, huh?
