I read this entire book in like 5 hours. Very fun.

How does daylight savings “shorten winter days”???? It changes the time it’s light out. You don’t gain sunlight ffs. Darkness at 4:45 at night obviously blows. Having it stay dark until like 9am is much worse. We tried this a few decades ago and people hated it.

The Athletic’s John Hollinger has the most nuanced, and maybe most grown-up, look at the Wolves’ LaMelo acquisition: www.nytimes.com/athletic/739... (gift link)

suddenly remembered this amazing screencap by @pftompkins.bsky.social

Video is amazing + both songs are on Spotify and are 🔥🔥

Got a speaker for my office at my new job and played Geese a little louder than necessary to gain cred with the young cools. Multiple walk-bys, pop-ins, etc, no comment. Disaster. Need to regroup.

zero hyperbole one of the best episodes of television ever made

legit watch this once a week www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDzf...

SO GOOD

🚨THE FORMAT COMING TO FIRST AVE IN SEPTEMBER 🚨. Tickets secured.

Monday’s Midwest Excellence is a plea to others to listen to Brian Dunne so I have someone else to talk with about how great Brian Dunne is.

Peak dad day: coached my 8th grade hoops team to a 5th place finish in state and then horrified my kids in the car by playing a max volume “Wuthering Heights.”

Absolutely tore through “The Believers.” Best book I’ve read in forever. Compulsively readable novel about the AIDS crisis in mid-80s Chicago and the present day aftermath. Gonna be thinking about this one for a long time. 10/10 stars.

51 out of 55 points. If “Quasimodo Predicted This” checks in at your Sopranos trivia it’s time to pay your tab and go home.

won Sopranos trivia tonight with @randballsstu.bsky.social @mjneuman.bsky.social and @broxey.bsky.social

me and jon and brandon tried to distract ourselves from everything

Me, daily

NEW @thesportive.com is out today. We speculate on the Michigan football news then talk Vikings, Wolves and soccer. Plus Jon learns how to pronounce a word. Fun one. https://overcast.fm/+AABbKevu5zY

First two episodes were 🔥

just....enjoy this

New episode! Not every podcast would be willing to record a Timberwolves season preview podcast during the first quarter of the first game of the season, but we aren’t most podcasts!

✅ Bucket list item about to be checked off: seeing The Format in April. 🤘

Only way this series ending was gonna bum me out is if Springer was the hero. 👎

Geno got someone on the bench raptured with that grand slam

My beautiful and classy wife just ripped a loud fart, and when I went GROSS she said “it happens, I’m getting old” and while she was saying the word “old” she let an even louder one go and laughed maniacally. It’s important to remember the good times.

🚨🚨🚨 Friday night Sportive? Friday night Sportive.

New Sportive is so good. Bonus: I am not on it. https://overcast.fm/+AABbKdzNyfM

I tried desperately for tickets to this show and then I find out THEY PLAYED “HEY JEALOUSY.” The world is conspiring against me.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

🚨🚨🚨 New episode - and of all things, all four of us were present in person. Maybe the second time in history? We talked about music and morning drinking plans and occasionally even about sports.

New episode! We finally discussed the Pohlads and the Twins, and while you might reasonably expect that after a couple weeks we would have cooled down - certainly, that seems to be the Pohlads' thoughts - we, well, haven't. Plus: a follow-up Top 6 (or 4, in this case), and the (?) AFC South

New ranking of NYT games: -Crossword (normal) -Sudoku -Spelling Bee -Pips -Wordle -Strands -Crossword (bad/dumb theme) -Compound leg fracture -Connections

This is a pretty good bit

New Sportive! @broxey.bsky.social and @chikenfingerz69.bsky.social and @jonmarthaler.com talk the demise of Little League, then cover our hopes and fears about the Vikings this year. Plus: a Twins-focused Top 6 that couldn't have been funnier if we'd tried, and Jon mispronounces some names.

Had a really stupid idea based on another meme I just made and so i had to make this, i am sorry

That was a top 5 internet day.

Read this when it came out and again a few years back. As a book nerd who played college baseball in the upper Midwest, it couldn’t possibly be more up my alley. Bias aside I still think it’s a great read.

Great albums need a big ol dumb sing-along song in it somewhere. “Saturday Morning” by the Eels, “Super 8” by Isbell etc, “Number One” by John Legend etc. Glad Tyler Childers delivered with “The Bitin’ List.” 🤘

I saved baseball.

It’s our commitment to you: one episode when the Twins season starts, then another when they’re out of it. (We got immediately derailed and started fixing baseball, with shot puts.)

Literal tears

is that good

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there an app that keeps your place in the timeline when Bluesky loads? I use Skeets but the tech is pretty busted. I’m trying to make it a habit of coming here but it’s not easy w bad tech options.

Was in denial about my son having the same competitive issues as me until I beat him at basketball, told him good game and he responded with “no one likes you.”

Brilliant idea for a tiny number of people: old man baseball leagues should be machine pitch.

Also, Jeff Tweedy covering Born In The USA solo acoustic is why it’s worth subscribing to his Substack: jefftweedy.substack.com/p/born-in-th...

Was throwing BP to my kids today and a mom pushing a stroller either didn’t see us or didn’t care but ripped an earth-shattering fart while walking by. Respect.

FRIDAY NIGHT PODCAST. @jonmarthaler.com & I go heavy on the Wolves and light on the Wild. Real good time. https://overcast.fm/+AABbKfr7CZ8
