There's nothing like randomly finding your high school varsity jacket for sale up on electronic bay dot com despite your mother's claims of saving it and immediately buying it back without thinking twice: www.ebay.com/itm/12755145...

As expected I had dreams full of dicks after plowing my way through the first half of the season last night

Heated Rivalry is AMAZING

Merry Xmas to me, I took a muscle relaxer for my stupid hip

Look, the Beatles were HUGE for me as a kid, and I still love them as much as, if not more than, the next #BeatlesGuy. But I’m BEGGING someone to put this kind of energy into the KINKS, for the love of god

I need a Roy Kent in my life

This is incredibly helpful, thanks Amtrak

Spent an afternoon with a toddler and I've never been more exhausted

Wow, that's a real Email Address Choice

This guy looks like he's about to say something incredibly fucked up and tell you it's OK

I finally sat down and watched Mao Shimada skate and aside from the jumps, which are obviously great, I do not see the appeal at all. Maybe she'll grow into being a performer!

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Who put this picture of me online

Listening to the Velvets on the CVS loudspeaker while shopping for feminine products sounds like the lyrics to a Pulp song we never got nor asked for

Gahhhhhh

I've been in PT since surgery and getting my layback pain-free was a big recovery goal. Was thinking of Monty while doing this one. I miss him so much.

There she is. Inject this into my veins. defector.com/the-2025-hat...

Meanwhile, in Canada (this is good, this how you do it): www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

OK, this is fuckin' WILD. The skating club head mentioned in this story is the wife of Vinny Dispenza, whom some may remember as one of the people involved in the Morgan Cipres case. usfigureskating.org/news/2025/12...

JFC. Roberta's work of covering the city's art scene was so important. She will be greatly missed. www.inquirer.com/obituaries/r...

If you live near Metuchen, this just happened to the partner of one of my HS classmates. Absolutely awful and I hope he is released: patch.com/new-jersey/e...

I bought a Fire TV a couple years back to replace my dearly departed 24" one that lasted me 15 years and man I fuckin' hate it. Bring back tiny TVs that don't suck and are built to last

WTF is this new hero section pushing down the regular one on the Inquirer stuff. Please just stop. I want the news, it doesn't need to be gussied up

Monty forever ❤️ 5/13/2011–12/12/2025 www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44122/...

My power is out, will probably be out for the rest of the evening and I'm trying to book a hotel for the night using a tethered connection and every fucking site loads so slow now because they've filled it up with fucking crap

Absolutely love having no power from a utility pole catching fire on a day where we're supposed to get snow

Ah man, if there's one thing I loved seeing on US1, it was that awesome neon sign: www.nj.com/business/202...

Long shot, but does anyone in Switzerland have an emergency Theremin to loan tomorrow night ( Friday 12 December )? #ViaMardot is playing a show in St Gallen, and the airline lost her equipment!!! We can help pay for a courier if needed, please share to get this message out!! #theremin #switzerland

Now that's what i call trash www.eurovision.com/newsroom/let...

"You Hurt My Feelings" I'm still angry that I sat through it once. I'm familiar with Holofcener's work but holy shit this was dreadful

Clearly this is about figure skating 😂

And then there were five: www.bbc.com/news/article...

I don't really talk shop on here, but if you are paying someone to redesign your site with a very small budget and they make a recommendation for discovery to ensure your request of "community input" is covered, don't be a complete ass about it

I'm begging for anarchists to add an ounce of psychic warfare to their politics.

I know that my little newsletter about what cool shows are happening this week in town isn't even coming close to the kind of output mentioned in this thread, but it is writing that lands in people's inboxes for free almost every week. bsky.app/profile/meli...

St Lucy's Day > Feast of the Seven Fishes

Canadian figure skating is being messy AF this week and honestly I am living for it

Got to see a screening of Hedwig yesterday where John Cameron Mitchell did some Bowie covers afterward, only a few blocks from Sigma Sound, so I am riding high into this week and refuse to let anything take this joy away from me

If you have enjoyed the lone functioning Toto washlet in the Women's restroom at Kura Sushi over the last 3 months, you're welcome

I have been reading the year end lists come in and my reactions are mostly 1) I'm old, I don't know who these people are, also I'm fine with that, and 2) Wow that's fucking boring

Oh no, not the D8v Charney AA redux company selling velvet figure skating dresses with the most fug Basque waistline under the sun losangelesapparel.net/collections/...

Quite possibly the final recordings from the late steel pedal guitar genius Susan Alcorn are now up for sale here: nomadwarmachineandsusanalcorn.bandcamp.com/album/contra...

Nice piece from the DP about the cost of coffee in and around campus (aka my general 'hood). www.thedp.com/article/2025...

In Baltimore at Metro Gallery supporting Steve Gunn tonight

What did I say, only a matter of time: www.inquirer.com/entertainmen...

As someone who literally gets paid to redesign websites and has won a couple of Webbys for it, it annoys me that USFS redesigned theirs and the place I work for never got to submit an RFP: usfigureskating.org

I keep seeing frustration (this is just the latest) over media only covering the horrors, not what to do about them—but they seem to miss stories about what people *are* doing. I report on that expressly because I want people to know there are people fighting back, and learn how they could, too.

Apparently there's a video of former French pairs skater Yannick Bonheur going viral performing a headbanger with his adagio partner and you know I'm a figure skater bc my response was "That rink is cool, where is it, I have to add it to my list"

I can't tell if it's funny or depressing that more people clicked on the "twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom" video in my weekly newsletter than anything else

Fuck yeah Yuma Kagiyama!!!!
