Life is beautiful I love the Buffalo Sabres

Loyalty means everything

Extremely YACHT voice: I used to live… in a Roku city….

seeing these Buffalo Sabres LIVE on Saturday. Luckiest man in the world??

Zach Benson got his revenge with some carny magic on that broken stick

Sabres

I hope wherever Sean McDermott goes next he wears his glasses at the opening press conference. Because he legitimately needs them to see and he was bullied out of wearing them

Ball up top

Sabs go 6 games over .500 and the players are talking about the nature of reality. It’s not fabricated

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thhhheeeeeee Bufffallloooooo Sabbbbreeeesssss

Reading a sentimental education, getting to the best part of any 19th century novel: extremely stupid duel

clocking in at the performative reading factory

Wrote about Shadow Ticket, and the classic Pynchon theme of the difference between the way things go and the way they could’ve - evanreads.substack.com/p/same-racke...

we’ve never been so back

need everyone to stop talking about summer I turned pretty cuz the title plays in my head in a loudon wainright “swimming song” voice any time I see it

Once again reporting for Bills WYTS 🫡

The Male Urge to Buy Finnegans Wake in Ireland Even Though You Don’t Want It

Going full murakami mode (wife is out of town and I’m making a stir fry with steak and peppers and listening to some jazz)

Mad men better than all these anyway

being a Sabres optimist is a really good bit, and everything they do makes it an even funnier bit. Anyway, playoffs this year

My only comment

Ravens probably the best team over the past two seasons but they’re the kings of beating themselves. Ah well, not my problem!!!

Fantastic close reading by @evand.bsky.social of AMERICAN ABDUCTIONS, my 3rd novel. “It is also a book filled with humor and hard-earned joy, suffused with a rare philosophical intelligence that saves it from any hint of mawkishness.” evanreads.substack.com/p/actually-p...

Sabres

I’m right over here / why can’t you see me / ooooohhhh ohhhhh

Tidal gave me a list of the songs I listened to most this year. No sorting for album position, no redundancy elimination, no personalization, just straight numbers. But it sounds great

Being serene and cool about the Sabres scoring 3 in the first period after going to see them get shutout live on Saturday 🧘

Bills should do a Moonie style mass wedding at the stadium for Josh and Hailee. The future belongs to crowds.

Paid real money to watch that Sabres game in person 🤡

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie

Zach Benson carnie magic

Preposterously good football game. Half expect to see a tauntaun run across the field

Choosing to follow this Sabres West Coast road trip like I’m getting war dispatches on the home front. Scattered reporting from witnesses cohering into a picture of our boys advancing the front.

Me watching say nothing every time they introduce another provo

Does Patrick Mahomes have a turnover issue??

Benson / McLeod / Tuch was an awesome line so of course the Sabres decided to go away from it immediately for no reason

I want the Bills to go to the Super Bowl so badly but I also know that win or lose it will probably be one of the most miserable experiences of my life and there’s no chance I could watch the game in polite company

Bills

When they started saluting Godzilla at the end of Godzilla minus one I was saluting in my seat
